Chicken Shack Marbella

1st time in this Mexican place, We must confess that it is the closest to the real Mexican taste than other restaurants we tried in the coast. Well done! Food was not expensive (avocado with nopal salad tacos al pastor cochinita pibil margarita maracuya XX Beer 50€ 17€ 1 tequila shot) the tequila Padre Azul is a bit excessive. Maybe some Mexican music instead of reggaeton will mark a bit difference. Good location, car park at just 10 Mts.

Booked a table for 8.30pm. Only one other table was seated so we asked if we could sit outside. “No! Those tables are reserved!” So, despite our being there, we sat inside. Admittedly he opened the window for us but it wasn’t the same esp as we were seated on high chairs. We had a Margarita each but again, disappointed that a) they were frozen and b) they are pre-made from a slush puppy-type machine. That’s ok when the place is busy but it’s just lazy otherwise. Makes sense why, like the previous review, they automatically serve Frozen Margaritas…because it’s less hassle! Menu for food was good but, despite a cheery waiter, it didn’t compensate for the poor fare on offer. One dimensional flavours, which is not Mexican to me. Tacos weren’t crispy which is how they were described on the menu. Anyway, overall a disappointing evening. We were so looking forward to discovering a good Mexican restaurant in Marbella. Is there one? Oh, and those tables outside that we wanted to sit on? they were still free when we were leaving…

Fantastic authentic mexican food, really great staff. Highly recommended!

I had the chicken enchiladas “Molé” which were delicious. I need to explore more of the menu to give better all rounded review. But cold beer and yummy food is an amazing start!

Good service, liked the tortilla chips and dips as an accompaniment. The food was lovely, the wall art is amazing. Lovely little restaurant.
