The Málaga restaurant inspired by 'Mamma Mia!' that has unanimous critical acclaim:

Calle Calderería is considered by many as one of the great streets for tapas in the center of Málaga, perhaps not as prestigious as the extensive Calle Granada, but it does feature several notable spots, in the best sense of the word. One of them, undoubtedly, is La Tasquita de en Medio. Since its inception on this lively street, near Plaza Uncibay, this tavern-style restaurant has won over both locals and tourists, a sometimes challenging feat but inevitable when various factors come together.

"At La Tasquita de en Medio, we transport you to a corner of the Mediterranean where authentic flavors and hospitality merge to create an unforgettable culinary experience," claim the restaurant staff, which has captured everyone's attention in recent years, surely due to their "passion for sharing a delicious gastronomic heritage with everyone, regardless of budget" as mentioned by the kitchen led by Diego René, the renowned chef of the restaurant Beluga, holder of a Repsol Sun, who also manages other gastronomic temples in Málaga such as Kraken, Cambara, Salao, and Pez Wanda.

La Tasquita de en Medio enjoys a level of public acceptance that is hard to achieve in these times of immediacy. Boasting a 4.7 rating on their Google reviews is significant, especially having won over the palates of no less than 16,481 diners —at the time of writing this.

The highlights of their menu as noted by diners are clear. Reviews particularly praise their flamenquines and payoyo cheese croquettes: "The flamenquín is spectacular, not the typical kind, it's made of loin with a very fine breading," they describe about the flamenquín and applaud the croquettes: "The croquettes, specifically of payoyo and ham, are a delight, they melt in your mouth".

Their arepas de carrillera "with a berry sauce is very original and very good", their "spectacular" espetos without needing to visit the seaside promenade and they excel in two traditional Malaga cold soups like the porra antequerana and ajoblanco, "the best ajoblanco we have ever eaten", as some diners declare: "The food is very good and the porra Antequerana is wonderful".

The venue also boasts a decor that draws a lot of attention, not only because of its Mediterranean concept, very much in line with its culinary proposal, but also because it is based on the movie Mamma Mia!. "You feel like you're in the middle of the Mamma Mia movie with its decor, but above all the food is a 1000/10", reviews one user.
