Chiringuito Paco

One of many Restaurants in Estepona

One of my favourite Chiringuitos in Estepona. I’ve been coming here for well over 10 years and it never fails to disappoint. Good food, good service and a wonderful location. Perfect for families as it’s on the beach and close to the playground.

I love Chiringuito Paco. I’ve been visiting here with my family for many years.

Expect the usual Chiringuito things like Espetos, Fish, Salads and Cocktails but all done well.

They have a good menu with lots of choices, and the service is always very quick and efficient.

If you’ve going to visit a Chiringuito for a nice meal make sure you check out Paco’s

My favorite Chiringuito in Estepona!

Quiet meal on the beach, very carefully prepared food for a beach bar. They do it well and they put effort into it. The service is excellent, waiters are always attentive, excellent food, prices for everyone.

We stayed for two days. The first day, you could tell they were overwhelmed because they were celebrating a First Communion there, and the paella we ordered was just average. The next day we returned and ordered a fried food that was fantastic. 100% recommended for the food, the location, and especially the staff. If you want a truly pleasant experience by the sea, you’ll find it at this beach bar.

Authentic local spot. Excellent grilled fish. Real cafe con leche. Non alcoholic beer available.. Sun loungers great value.

Fourth visit for one of our party, tried many chiringuitos along the promenade. Pacos is our outstanding favourite.

The personalised kind efficient service of ‘‘Adnan’ this year was the absolute cherry on the cake. Chiringuita Paco very lucky to have such a professional personable ambassador. Thank you Adnan and Paco owners and staff.

They welcome you very warmly. We sat right on the beach, literally on the sand, which means we had spectacular sea views. Everyone who works there is very nice, and the food was very good. We ordered paella for two, marinated dogfish, fried anchovies, and mussels, which weren’t bad, but we didn’t want them (I don’t know why we ordered them 😂😂), and the restaurant staff were very helpful and took them off our bill.

The Food

The food at Paco’s is really good.

The main event is the seafood selection they have with lots of fresh fish that can be cooked on the fire.

They also offer some meat dishes and kids options

The Location

Of course it’s on the beach!

It situated right in the middle of Paseo just at the end od Av. Juan Carlos. It’s perfect for kids as it’s close to the playground too.

Central location on the beach
Lots of space both inside and out
Close to the kids playground

They are open every day from 10am until 9:30pm. They get very busy so I recommend you reserve a table in advance.
