A classic beside Burriana beach where rice dishes and espetos have plenty to say

Merendero José Cruz has been a reference point on Burriana beach for years, and it is not hard to see why: its tables are usually full at any time of day. The terrace, with that old-school chiringuito atmosphere, invites you to sit back without rushing and let the menu carry you along.

Among the most popular dishes from the kitchen are the rice dishes and, above all, the espetos, which several customers say are the best they have tried in the whole Málaga area. The seafood paella also earns praise, made with respect for timing and ingredients. A practical detail: the menu clearly marks the gluten-free options, which is much appreciated.

The service is one of the points most often mentioned in the positive reviews: attentive, brisk and polite. An honest place to eat by the sea, without fuss.
