?️ There is some inside space at EL Patio so it’s a good place for lunch or dinner when it’s raining. You might have to site at the bar though.

Editors Comment
El Patio recently moved from their location behind Plaza Antonia Guerrero (egg square) to a new, much bigger location down a side street just off Calle Terraza. It’s always been popular and I’ve wanted to go many times but without success because it was always so busy! Now it seems easier to get a table (or barrel)
When I visited, i found the service very helpful and the tapas and other dishes delicious at a good price. And the new location makes it feel slighlty secret and special.
I can’t wait to go back.
Great vibe and great food tucked down a side street in the heart of Estepona. You must try it!

We expressed our dissatisfaction to no avail, with no response or attention.
Very disappointing, especially since we were familiar with the previous restaurant, which was always excellent.
A bill at 65 euros for 4 (without dessert) for tapas
Expensive for this lack of quality and know-how
Bad choice for us tonight

We have 4 people and all of them thought of the same thing as not being able to come to the pulp of the hard toasts and without taste, neither at the moment nor at the alcachofas.
Hemos sido correctos lo hemos dicho al camarero que el pulpo podia comer de lo duro que estaba
No need to say anything to the room, I say nothing to the tartar only to say to the kitchen. No nos propusieron nada.
Lament the experience because he has never changed before in the previous restaurant
We love you very well. Pero esta vez fatal.
The Food
I like the Tapas at EL Patio, but they also have some large fish dishes, casseroles, and sandwiches.
The food here isn’t fussy, it’s traditional, comforting, and full of heart. Every dish feels like it was made to be shared.
If you want Spanish Tapas you’ll love EL Patio.




The Location
El Patio is now on Calle Pintado, a quiet side street right in the centre of Estepona Old Town.
They have tables and barrels outside in the quaint street and even more space inside, with air conditioning.
They are open for lunch from 12 to 4pm and for dinner from 8pm until midnight. They’re closed on Monday’s and Tuesdays.
