El Pimpi Florida

Prawn and seafood bar, dinners only · El Palo

Must try

Prawns pil-pil and grilled (the most recommended), seafood, fish, pork loin and omelette. The menu is short.

About

It has nothing to do with El Pimpi on Calle Granada: it is a neighbourhood bar in El Palo, famous among locals for its prawns, with a queue before it opens.

Good to know

Arrive before opening to join the queue. Lively atmosphere, not at all peaceful. There are complaints of brusque waiters and waits between dishes (2026).

Getting there and parking

EMT bus 11 to El Palo; by car, park on the neighbourhood streets.
