El Calabazo - Ojén

I was recommended to try this , as the bar did a great paella. Having found it 10 mins above La canada, you take the lower road and can drive into the centre drop everyone off and then park down the bottom and walk back up. Firstly not a word of english is spoken but you can get yourself understood , the menu is basic salads,pil pil, tapas and meat/fish- unfortuantely paella was not on the menu currently. We ordered and drinks which were cheap came quickly , as did our first dish of avocado and tomato salad, which was extremely tasty and plentiful. The mains which came were piping hot and freshly made, the dover sole was huge with great chips (all for 8 euro's) , the fried salt cod and chips again was lovely and at 6 euro's for a half portion delicious. They were extreemly friendly and helpful and its worth trying to find this for a different place for lunch

Durante nuestro viaje de 10 días a España, probamos la mejor sangría en este restaurante. También disfrutamos de las gambas pil pil, que estaban increíbles. ¡Una verdadera joya escondida! El dueño fue muy amable y acogedor.

Estoy muy sorprendido con la amabilidad del dueño Pedro y su esposa en la cocina, Paqui. Disfrutamos de una comida de lujo en un bar de tapas, mi recomendación es la tapa de patatas fritas caseras, el rabo de toro estofado, pulpo frito y los postres caseros: mousse de higos, turrón y panna cotta. Queríamos probar la especialidad: el arroz con bogavante, pero la próxima vez sin duda volveré.

Only stopped for a drink, extremely friendly owner. Will call back for food sometime.

Disappointingly rude aggressive service. The food was unsatisfying, bland and poorly prepared. For example the fried squid had other fried items on the plate indicating it was prepared together with other fried foods not ordered. After pointing out an issue with the food I was yelled at and pointed in the face by the staff which is quite unheard of. Do yourself a favor and steer clear unless you are just getting a drink.
