    When we got there they didn’t know about the booking with the fork It was quite a stressful experience and you and the restaurant need to sort out what’s going on. As a customer caugh in the middle

    With so many good restaurants that we have visited this week+ in Old Estepona and the high ratings and relatively higher price, we expected that this restaurant would have been one of the best of our visit. It wasn’t. Not saying it was bad but the food was disappointing, and the service started out a bit curt and unwelcoming but did warm up as the night went on. With all the great choices available, I really can’t recommend dining here , and I really had hoped that I could. It was just average.

    Wonderful meal and terrific experience. Antonio, our waiter, was truly magnificent and the paella and solomillo were fabulous.

    We absolutely had an excellent experience. The host was super friendly – he gave use extensive advice about their wines. And the food was AMAZING. We had fried olives (delicious), gambas al pil-pil and paella. We can recommend this place to everyone who visits Estepona. A 10 out of 10!

    Hade bokat och fått både bekräftelse och påminnelse att inte glömma bort min bokning, när vi kom dit var det stängt...

    Restaurant is well situated in the old town but that’s where it ends. Inattentive service and very average food a premium prices. Strongly suggest you look elsewhere.

    This is the second time we have had lunch at La Cocina this week - both times tapas. It's a great little place slightly off the beaten path but very easy to walk to from Plaza de la Flores. It's very relaxed and in a lovely side street in the shadow of the church. All of the dishes are tasty.

    Very disappointed that your app didn’t work properly for the booking. The owner had no knowledge we were were coming. He said that he multiple problems with your app making these bookings. It was very embarrassing for everyone. I had my whole family expecting a lovely meal and the owner very kindly cobbled together a temporary table so that we had somewhere to eat . I will never use your app again and I will definitely tell others not to rely upon it

    We were warmly greeted on arrival. Heard Mass underway in the nearby church (the oldest in Estepona where told by our server Nieves) so we asked would she mind if we nipped in to light a few candles for our family. We returned 10 minutes later. The restaurant is well located, close to Estepona Plaza de los Flores, but far enough away not to be one of those tourist "formula". La Cocina is designed for the discerning gourmet, without being pretentious. My dilemma is that by telling you about this restaurant and how good it is, thatbit may be fully booked next time I want to go. But Jose and Nieves deserve their restaurant t be known! (brother and sister by the way, so dont do the esposo/esposa bit! Net this is beautifully fresh food cooked beautifully. On good that we each had to taste each others! Cod pil pil and grilled Tune were our main courses, served with properly cooked vegetables and patatas fritas. Wines by the glass were excellent. Also a great gin selection. My problem is now that I want to go back again tonight, and the night after but one has to show some self restraint! 10/10
