Chirrigito Rompeolas - Algarrobo

When we came in we did immediately did not feel welcome. The restaurant was almost empty, still no one cared to welcome us. De waiter did not smile once and was not interested in our presence. Maybe he had a bad day. Maybe the cook also had a bad day, although the ingredients were there he/she managed to make a poor meal out of it. Bland taste, no love. Even the fries were soft and oily.

Camenbert croquettas are special. Food was ok. Tasteful chicken curry. Service average. Serve with a smile sometimes .

Just a short walk from main Torre del Mar you find this chirinquito a fev meters from shore. My first visit was just reasently and it was good, even I think they tried to serve rose vine from a old bottle. We had lunch menu, deliceous chrimp coctail well prepared languado and a desert. The price for this lunch under € 9, gives me opportinity to visit more often. Service was ok and warm october afternoon gave a nice setting. I recommend this place even you have walk or take a bus to get there.

I’m a regular customer as I enjoy part of my holidays here every year. Great restaurant, service very nice and a great quality of food, really fresh and very well cooked. I do recommend it if you’re in the area!

I'm not sure if it's typical but as an English family in a mainly Spanish resort, I am finding service is average at best. There's are some places that excel, but this isn't one of them. We booked our table the day before, with a rarely found English member of staff, all good. However, we were really looking forward to a paella but when we ordered were told it needed 24hrs' notice. They could have mentioned that 24hrs before when we booked. To their credit, they did offer to make a paella of we were prepared to wait. When it did come, we were not disappointed. Great beach side location.
