“ Lovely food today and earlier in the week. Both friendy and charming staff who work hard to understand what you want. Amazing beef cheek in red wine and pork tenderloin in mustard sauce. I thoroughly recommend the lemon tart which is as good as my homemade lemon cheesecake. All this along with great people watching from the outdoor tables. Thoroughly recommend - we ll be back. ”
“ The food was really good but we did have to wait 30min. They only pay attention to the new customers. When asked for the check they made us wait until our drinks were finished and then we had to ask 2 more times again. This took an extra 15min ”
“ A Solid and Authentic Choice in Downtown Málaga My partner and I had a lovely dinner at Clásicos del Mentidero and were impressed by both the quality of the food and the exceptional service. Food & Drinks: We started with a jar of the house sangria. While not the best we've ever had, it was certainly refreshing on a warm evening. For our appetizer, we chose the Setas con camarones a la parrilla (grilled mushrooms with shrimp). The flavors were fantastic and it was a great way to start the meal. The main course was the Secreto Ibérico, a delicious and tender cut of Iberian pork that was cooked perfectly and was very flavorful. Ambiance & Service: We sat at an outdoor table on what was a very hot Málaga evening. The terrace was bustling, with most tables full, while the inside seating was about half-occupied. A special mention must go to our waiter, Daniel. He was incredibly attentive and professional throughout our entire meal, truly elevating our dining experience. The restaurant has a pleasant ambiance with good lighting, and the tables and chairs, while not from a 5-star restaurant, were perfectly comfortable for a busy downtown spot. Practical Details: Prospective diners should be aware that the restaurant is located in a pedestrian-only zone, so there is no parking nearby. On the night we visited, it was hot outside and we noticed the inside didn't feel particularly cool, suggesting the air conditioning wasn't very strong. It's also worth noting that there were no fans, and the WiFi signal did not reach our corner table. Value: For a jar of sangria, one appetizer, and one main course, our bill came to €53.00 for two people. We felt this was very reasonable value for the quality of the food, the service, and the central location. Overall: Clásicos del Mentidero offers a fantastic dining experience in the heart of Málaga. If you're looking for delicious Spanish food and outstanding service, this is an excellent choice. We would definitely return. ”
