Bar La Tranca

La Tranca is the perfect place for tapas — lively atmosphere, friendly service, and amazing food. The flavors are authentic, the portions generous, and the vibe makes you feel like a true local. A must-visit spot!

Fantastic little bar in central Málaga. Was a bit worried when we entered as it was really busy but we were shown to a free table and proceeded to order. We ordered way too much food but luckily it was all delicious. The bravas sauce had a real kick, the steak in Pedro Ximenez was tender and the sauce sweet and rich and the two toasties were both great - particularly the salmon. With two drinks each our meal was less than €50. Atmosphere and service were both top notch. Would definitely recommend visiting here when in Malaga.

Amazing place! People are so nice and kind. It was really crowded but we managed to find a place to sit and eat great tapas. Very good value for the money. Definitely recommend!

This is close to a real bar as we’ve found in Malaga. Our host was super helpful, great singer and ran the show like a conductor - marvellous 😂. We just stopped for a quick tapas and beer 🍺 but will definitely be back for more. Food is really tasty, lots of choice, don’t be afraid to ask for some help, it does seem chaotic but it totally works. Oh, your bill will be written on the bar with chalk when you ask for it 👍

I absolutely loved this place! We were staying right up the street and had brunch here 2 days in a row. The food was super super good, we tried a bunch of things. The shrimp skewers, the piemento de padron, tortilla, flamequin, empanadas, all of it, delicious! The drinks too! The atmosphere seemed very authentic, very little English was spoken but we understood each other. Highly recommend!
