El Cartuchito - Málaga

Un típico bar de comida mediterránea y camareros súper amables y atentos

This was my first place to eat in Malaga. I thought wow, if this is so good and cheap then it can only get better. And because I was wrong, i kept on coming back to eat in this place for the rest of my stay in Malaga. They got tables outside but you can also sit or stand by their counter/bar inside, which I did. The three girls that work there, were super nice, great cooks and quick with the service. I felt very comfortable sitting there. On my first day I ordered medium calamaritos( fried baby calamari and coffee. The portion was huuuge! I believe I paid 5.20. Next day I ordered also medium calamaritos, coffee and paella- 6.80. The best meal thou was grilled calamaris! Big portion for 9 euro! So grilled calamaris, paella and coffee- 12.80. I was so full! And happy : I really recommend this place! Great food, big portions and you won't leave broke ;

Great little cafe in the Atarazanas market which in itself is a must see. With covered seating on Calle Atarazanas it can be a bit noisy from passing traffic but this all adds to the atmosphere. They close at 1630 and are very busy from 1400 onwards so be warned if you want a seat. You can stand at the bar but you might not find room at the busiest times. Friday lunchtime is very busy! You order your food and drink, either at the bar or from the super friendly waiter. The food is then cooked fresh. Try the Berenjena Bio con Miel de Cana – thinly sliced organic aubergine fried in a tempura batter and drizzled with sugar cane syrup. Delicious at €4.50 for a tapas portion which is ample for two people. Also the grilled tapas are excellent – prawns, octopus, squid, salmon and combinations of these at €3.90 each they are mouthwatering. The beers and house wines are also very good. Service is excellent and quick.

After enjoying the lovely market, with all the fresh food, we stopped here many times. Tasted much of the tapas, gazpacho, beer, wine, all at the best quality. Staff was very kind, took picture about us, you know, little things, that helps to enjoy the lunch, when you walk around the city center.
