Avocado

Editors Comment

Avacodo is ok. Personally, I think the food, and sometimes the service lets it down.

They have a large selection of great-looking tapas. Unfortunately, they don’t always deliver on taste and enjoyment. The Tacos, for example, are actually just bad.

This place used to be called Vitin and was considerably better than it is now.

The best thing going for it is that it’s on the wonderful Plaza de las Flores which is a delightful place to sit regardless of how good the service and food. ?

Not worth going out of your way for.

Avocado Tapas Bar absolutely blew us away. Located right in the middle of Plaza de las Flores, it’s the perfect spot to soak up the charm of Estepona — even in late November, the outdoor dining was unbelievably pleasant. Great atmosphere, friendly service, and some of the best tapas we’ve had on the Costa del Sol.

We started with the Avo Pulpo, a beautifully fried octopus served over a bed of fresh avocado tartar. Perfectly cooked, tender, and packed with flavor — truly outstanding.

Next up were the homemade meatballs in the chef’s specialty sauce, served with thick-cut fries. Comfort food done right, and that sauce is something special.

But the star of the night? The 2024 award-winning fried oxtail tapa — almost like a crispy fried wonton but filled with deeply rich, slow-cooked rabo de toro. Absolutely delicious and unlike anything we’ve tried before.

We finished everything off with ice-cold beers, enjoying the lively plaza and the beautiful Estepona weather.

Fantastic food, great vibes, and a perfect location. If you’re in Estepona, this spot is a must. We’ll definitely be back! 🍻🥑✨

The Food

Unfortunately, the food is quite expensive and not always very good.

They do have a good selection of things but choose carefully.

Tapas selection
Rations and plates too
Good ice cream selection
Cakes and Donoughts

They have a nice ice cream selection in the summer. However, you can find better Ice Cream in Estepona.
