What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
La Bodega del Pintor is celebrated for its exceptional food, particularly the steaks and tapas, and its vibrant atmosphere. While many praise the friendly service and great value, some reviews mention inconsistencies in food quality and discrepancies with menu descriptions, alongside a notable negative experience regarding service and food quality.
"I really loved it here, and had to visit twice during the week I stayed in Mijas. The food was excellent and so were the drinks. I had a cocktail called 'i think I love my wife' which i really recommend. Everyone was very kind and we enjoyed the atmosphere sitting outside at the back of the restaurant."

"Such a cosy atmospheric pub with lots of character. We just had drinks but food at other tables looked absolutely delicious. Wines were good, service great, all in all a super place. We will return!!"
Deirdre Spectrum
"We have frequented this fabulous lively bar a number of times over the years. There is a wonderful patio area and restaurant upstairs meaning it's a much bigger establishment than the frontage suggests. Drink measures and prices are reasonable. I nearly down rated it to 3 stars because they blatantly give little bowls of nuts to their local customer but not the tourists and it is very obvious. Maybe they don't want visitors and are happy with just their local regular customers."
