"Where do I start? It’s a local, Spanish, simple amazing place to come to. We have the wonderful staff, one of them David (in the pic), what a kind, lively and sweet man! The feeling you get when you come here is incredible - it’s like coming home to your family! They have fresh fish, great tapas, actually anything you order is great. Please try the baby calamares, the pork skewers and the Pil-Pil! If you wanna feel the love of Spain - a visit here is a MUST. My family have been in Nerja several years - my mom says the calamares (not fried) is the best she ever eaten in Nerja. Do yourself a favor and visit Restaurante La Puntilla"

"We ordered a small portion of tuna salad, which turned out to be not so small — more than enough for two ladies. We also had baby squid and octopus legs. The baby squid were grilled, and it seemed the ends were slightly overcooked, as they tasted a bit bitter. Overall, not bad. Maybe there are tastier dishes on the menu. The waiter didn’t speak English, so placing the order was a bit difficult."
