Restaurante El Torreón — Restaurant in Mijas

Starting on a couple of positive notes, this restaurant has extremely fast and efficient service. At the same time, it’s not one of those restaurants that is trying to get you in, fed and out again as quickly as possible. You are allowed the time to enjoy your meal.

The vegetarian options are, however, abysmal. There is only one vegetarian main course, the vegetarian paella, and it requires a minimum of two people to order it. If you cannot find a second person willing to share with you, then it is pizza Margerita for you - and you don’t come to Spain to eat pizza in a Spanish restaurant.

Also, a word of warning - the smell of frying fish is very strong in the restaurant if they have not opened the windows. You will be carrying this smell around with you for a while once it gets into your clothes.

Overall the food was good and the restaurant can be...

We've been to this restaurant a few times over the years, and even went twice last year. But we were really disappointed with the quality of food and rushed service this time round. 2 out of the 7 meals were OK, the rest seemed like it was microwaved frozen food that you would expect in a chain restaurant back in the UK. We sent 1 burger back , and the rest of us only ate a part of our meals.

Quality of burgers were poor both chicken and the beef. pork ribs and sirloin steak weren't good either. Veg is dried and shrivelled with no flavour.

Won't be rushing back here anytime soon.....

Not sure if management has changed but it was nothing like previous...

Great views and love the Hake traditional style... see my photos. As you van see I was here three years ago and my wife and I are back today for breakfast, which I didn't know they did until today. Such a lovely spot and the restaurant is right on the sea front. Not expensive and the staff are very accommodating and you can't beat the beautiful setting... Nice place to chill to Bob Marley songs in the background right now along with a whole variety of genres of music. In these days of Covid-19 I find it very sad that so many businesses are suffering and my heart goes out to such places like this ... we need to keep them for our tomorrow's otherwise we will...
