"We were here twice, and the food was always great! Make sure to reserve a table, as the beach is quite popular, and this is one of only two chiringuitos there. The staff is nice, and most speak english. First time everything was great, but on our second visit the staff seemed a little overwhelmed. They doubled our order, but there was no attempt to bill the extra food on us."

"Lovely beach chiringuito, where we celebrate the kids' (and our) birthdays, besides being there almost every week at the beach + having lunch afterward. David is absolutely great and approachable if you ever need a hand."

"A lovely little place, towards the back of the beach serving delicious fresh sea food and drinks. The restaurant was nice and open to the beach, so we got the sea air coming in whilst we ate :) Good clean toilet facilities, and they can cope well with families (we had 8 adults, 2 babies & 2 toddlers) - would recommend!"

"I had a fantastic experience at Havana Beach Bar @Playa del Cristo! The food was absolutely delicious, and the atmosphere was relaxed and vibrant. Our waitress, Laura, took great care of our group and made the experience even better—her fluency in English made communication so easy. David, the owner, was incredibly accommodating and kind, ensuring we felt welcome from start to finish. The highlight of the meal was definitely the Paella del Chef—it’s the best paella I’ve ever had! I’ll definitely be returning on my next trip to Estepona. Cheers to Havana Beach Café for an unforgettable dining experience!"

"It's our fourth year that we go to this bar and we like it very much. They have good food, they make an effort for my children who have cow milk allergy (there are enough options and they always ask the chef what they can eat). The drinks are nice. The atmosphere is quite casual, like I expect from a beach bar. I honestly have no complaints. The waiters are always friendly and kids friendly. Today we had a waiter (Antonio) whose English was really good (but in my experience almost every waiter speaks English) and he even gave us some advice for our trip. We really feel at ease at this bar."

"Loved the place, the service was quick and the waiter was polite and friendly. We had the quesadillas, the club sandwich and the shrimp wrap and I got personally like the tortilla warmed up. I found just a couple of shrimps (but fresh), the quesadilla was ok and so it was the sandwich. The fries were the best!!!"
