Bar El Tajillo

Village tapas bar · Benaoján

Must try

Small molletes (soft bread rolls) with serranito (pork, ham and pepper) or cured shoulder ham with caramelised onion and goat's cheese, squid molletes, fried aubergines, ensaladilla, smash burgers and free-range chicken.

About

Family-run tapas bar with generous portions and village prices, at the top of Benaoján.

Good to know

Cheap, with generous portions. According to a September 2026 review, it is the only tapas bar in the village open all day. There is a climb up from the centre. I could not verify the opening hours.

Getting there and parking

You need a car from Ronda; in the village, park in the centre and walk up.
