Los Mellizos

🐟 I Want Spanish

A safe bet for the real taste of Málaga.

When in doubt, go where generations of locals have gone for pescaíto, seafood and proper Málaga flavours.

Why go?

Los Mellizos is one of those names you can trust when you're looking for a genuine Spanish dining experience. The focus is firmly on seafood, fried fish and traditional Málaga cooking, with a menu made for ordering several things and filling the table. It's busy, established and very much part of the local food scene.

What to order

Start with the pescaíto frito and order a few different dishes for the table. Prawns, calamari and other fresh seafood are obvious choices, while the rice dishes and paellas are also worth a look. The correct strategy here is simple: order more than you think you'll need. Someone will eat it.

Good to know

Los Mellizos is a safe choice when you're eating with a group because there is something for everyone, and the portions and sharing-style menu make it easy to build a proper Spanish meal. It can get busy, particularly at weekends, so booking ahead is sensible.

Local fact

The Los Mellizos story goes back to the late 1950s, when the family started out with a small taberna in La Malagueta. In 1979, the family opened the Saint-Tropez chiringuito in Benalmádena, where the Los Mellizos name began to take shape. Today, the family business has grown to eight restaurants across the Costa del Sol, with Fuengirola being one of them.
