La Freskita - Cártama

This wasn't a planned trip and have passed the restaurant quite often without stopping but admiring the plates of food they were serving. But this time we stopped and were so glad we did, the seafood we had was delicious, the service quick and friendly, and the price super cheap. Will be adding this to our list of favourite local restaurants.

We read about La Freskita on Tripadvisor and headed for it nestled between a strip of dozens of similar looking bars/cafes how else can you decide which is best? We sat outside on a warm evening and enjoyed a drink served by very pleasant waiters Miguel and Carlos. The laminated menu is supplemented by chalked boards with that day 's specials a great sign in my book. La Freskita doesn 't disappoint on any level; the Salmorejo served with tiny pieces of tuna, jamon and chopped boiled egg was the best I 've tasted and at E4 was a bargain delicious! We then enjoyed raciones of the Salpicante and wood oven roasted red pepper salads. Finally we enjoyed a pinchito de pollo each which came with patatas paubre all delicious. What a refreshing experience good tasty food served by excellent waiters and a bottle of decent wine, the whole experience made for a memorably fun evening. At the end of our meal we were served a complimentary flute of cava. Bill for two for the above was E28 marvellous, we cannot wait to return this week end especially as Cartama has it 's 'Ruta de Tapas ' starting today until Sunday. La Freskita is not to be missed.

The food here is really good, calamari are one of the best that I ate. And mussels are really good too.

We ate here twice during our time in Spain and thoroughly enjoyed the experience on each occasion. Great tapas, great seafood, great wine, great waiter thanks Miguel.

This fish seafood restaurant (on the main drag in Estacion) was recommended to us by the owners of the holiday let we rented. I'm always happy to eat where the locals do! It's not fancy we sat outside on the pavement terrace but the food's delicious. It's great to eat fresh fish, cooked by traditional methods instead of having everything fried and served with chips. We ordered several dishes and shared them all. The steamed mussels, hake baked with potatoes and garlic/chilli prawns were exceptional, and there was plenty of bread to mop up the juices. The house wine (we had rose) was pretty good too. And the other good news it won't break the bank!
