La Alberca - Monda

I haven't been to this bar/restaurant for a couple of years as I moved away from Tolox, but it was long established with a superb reputation before I arrived.. I would love to move back to this village and one of the biggest attractions is Paco's bar La Alberca.I hope that it hasn't changed. If it hasn't, you will find that the welcome is warm and genuine, and the food is freshly cooked from raw ingredients and typically Andalusian, plus the service is very good and if you need anything you only have to ask. Most of the bar and eating area is outside, and it can get a little chilly in winter, so you have to wrap up in warm clothes then. But, it is so worth it!! In these days of Covid19, it is porbably one of the safest places to eat, perched above the valley, with a breeze! The locals and the ex pats love to come to Paco's and some travel a quite distance to eat at the Alberca..If nothing much has changed, I cannot recommend it highly enough simple, food, beautifully cooked, with superb fresh salads in summer (if you ask). I'm no longer in Spain in France now but one of the highlights of living in Tolox was eating at Paco's for the welcome, the ambience, the open skies, the conviality, and the simple, honest very good Andalucian food. Voila! I went to Paco's as one of a couple, wth family on other occasions, with friends and and business and, sometimes on my own. In fact, I drank and ate there often, for breakfast, lunch and dinnerwith my family and friends and with business partners and was never disappointed. It was a pleasure, every time.

Loved visiting Tolox and Pacos restaurant. Views incredible despite weather. Food was lovely and staff very accommodating. Some friends have moved to this village and highly recommend this restaurant! Thanks

Went to this little place in Tolox with a friend. Well was I Wowed! Amazing food drink service and so friendly. Views are Fantastic and I will go back on my next visit to Tolox. Paco and his team made us so welcome and I did not need to see a menu he knew what we would like. And he got it spot on. Fish Salad Beer and Wine. What more can I add to our visit. It's a hidden gem. Shuuuuuuu! Hehehe Amazing. Gracia Catherine McCauley XX

Beautiful terrace with beautiful view. we eat very well, cheap, and very quickly, before our electric bike in the nieves. The village of tolox is also beautiful! I recommend!

He estado varias veces, esta gente te trata de maravilla, además de que sus comidas son espectaculares, sobre todo sus carrillas, las hace en su propia salsa a lo primero no tiene buena pinta por el color, pero después su sabor te vuelve loco, es un bar de pueblo lo típico, pero esta todo buenísimo, volvere
