Editors Comment
El Descaro is one of my favorites and I visit it regularly.
I especially enjoy the tapas which are a little bit different from the usual things you’ll find in Estepona – it’s a good place to go if you fancy a change from La Sureña.
Set on the beautiful Plaza de las Flores it’s a very pleasant place to spend time although the tables and chairs could be spaced out a little more.
Martin the head waiter is always friendly and helpful when I visit.

Excellent staff and great service
Beautiful surroundings
Very busy for Sunday lunch in the sunshine but we were not rushed
The food overall was good, though not amazing. We gave it 4 stars mainly because while the flavors were mostly on point, the portion sizes were quite small for the price. Everything we tried was tasty, the tortilla española, croquettes, ensaladilla rusa, and chicken fingers were all enjoyable. The croquettes in particular were excellent.
That said, a couple of dishes missed the mark. The “huevos rotos” were a disappointment: the menu stated they came with chorizo, but they arrived with Serrano ham instead, and the potatoes used didn’t mix well with the rest of the dish. It lacked flavor and felt thrown together. The poultry meatballs were undercooked inside, a serious issue, especially with chicken.
In summary: great service and a lovely spot to sit, but the food doesn’t fully justify the price tag. With a few adjustments, it could be a top spot, but for now it falls short of being truly memorable.
Customer service is good, they are friendly
The Food
The food at El Descaro is very good. It’s always well presented and tastes good too.
Prices are fairly expensive, but you are on the main square in Estepona.
The service matches the food in quality especially Martin who always welcomes me like and old friend.
The Location
Situated on one of the best squares in Estepona El Descaro is a delightful place to spend time when the weather is fine.
They have a lot of tables in the middle of the square, probably too many in my opinion as it can feel a little squashed.
Be prepared for some music too as it’s a very popular place for buskers to perform.
