Restaurante El Peñón

Service poor, second course was 35-40 minutes after we had finished the first course, main course of pil pil prawns and a sea bass minutes to cook. Prawns barely warm, not what you expect from a fish restaurant, view was fantastic, Toilets small and up very steep steps, difficult for elderly

Eating by the sea is always enjoyable for us. This restaurant has a neat story history dating from 1954 every fisherman would gather here to sell what they caught. Later the spot became much more than a gathering place etc. Anyway the smoked octopus was delicious As well as the fried sardines. We also tried the avocado and tomatoes salad which was nice and fresh. We finished with a flan and some awesome cafe con leche. And the coffee is so good. The service was so so. The waiter had too many tables was short with us and did not take the time to explain the dishes and what they came with. Overall the food was great and the prices were reasonable. Definitely will go back since the location is great. Restaurant a bit dated but it is one of the first if not the first in that bay.

Brilliant location with a lovely family feel to it. Perfect seafront location and wonderful selection of seafood

Excellent food, very friendly service in the perfect location. This 50 year old restaurant has excellent food from the tradition using mostly local products. They have a well deserved online reputation in the social media. Hope all the employees are getting a slice of the success as all of them work very hard with passion. We had the special sea food paella and the grilled octopus as starter. The sangria was also great.

Nice restaurant on the beach. Friendly staff. Good menu.

We went there as our last stops during our Andalusia roadtrip. It was end of November and it was very nice. The location is perfect and right next to the sea. We were sitting outside and could hear the waves while enjoying excellent seafood for an very good price. We had sardines, tuna salad and mixed seafood plate. The service was very friendly and helpful. At the end we paid 35 Euro include two drinks. Highly recommendable place!!!

I have been following "La Chica" for many years. The reason I made my plans to come here all the way from the USA, was to experience HER food. It was fabulous. Paella de Mariscos and Espeto de Sardines where just perfect. The service less than expected. The sad part is that when I approached the manager to praise Chicas's food he was very "displicente" He should know thar his place became famous because of her followers.

So, here we are after 4500 miles from Miami to Salobreña at El Peñon restaurant, and nothing will keep me away from enjoying the food, the friends and the warm Viva Miami. It was exactly how I felt it would be and more. But Danny made it all to be extra special. Hugs to La Chica, Jesus, Antonio and the rest of the gang came to my table to say hello and offer me an array of appetizers and a delightful postre. Thank you for that guys. La Chica sent me what she had cooked for "the kids" that I will call it ajiaco. Delicious. Danny made me a believer with el pulpo a la Salobreña, yes it's the best. Nice cool chardonnay and the best black rice ever. Salads, crunchy bites, chupitos. Timely harmony of flavors catered by Danny to the last detail, like picking my favorites dishes throughout the meal. That's something to brag about. Cheers!

Amazing service. Beautiful location! Fresh seafood. They didn't open until 1pm but we arrived at 12:10pm and they allowed us to get a drink on the patio until the kitchen opened. So nice!

Really welcoming place in a perfect quiet-ish location. Friendly service and incredibly fresh seafood perfectly served... the best paella in Spain so far!

Best meal I have ever had. Cannot fault them on anything. Would highly recommend this restaurant.
