Restaurante Paco El Churretero is a grill restaurant facing Burriana beach (Camino de Burriana 9). It is the place on the beach to treat yourself to chargrilled meat, rated 4.5 on Google (almost 1,000 reviews) and 4.4 on Tripadvisor.

What to order. Top-quality meat with plenty of cuts: chuletón (rib steak) to share, beef fillet and special pieces such as wagyu. Staff advise on the cut and how it is cooked, and there is a large wine cellar. Starters and the home-made bread are praised too. Expect €20-70 per person depending on the meat.

Opening hours. Every day from 13:00 to 22:30. The restaurant is air-conditioned and has a terrace facing the sea. You can book and there is a children's menu.

Good to know. It is expensive for the area, and some reviews say the meat came more cooked than ordered, so be clear when you order. The kitchen closes early, so don't arrive late for dinner. If you prefer fish, compare in where to eat in Burriana.

History

It all began with the dream of a humble, hard-working and deeply loved man. A man who, with simplicity and heart, built much more than a life's project: he created a home for his family, a meeting place for those around him and an indelible bond with Nerja, his town, and all its people.
  1. Paco “El Churretero” did not need to be important to leave an immense mark. His worth lay in the honesty of his steps, his loyalty to his loved ones and his unconditional love for his wife, his life partner and the cornerstone of his journey.
  2. Today, inspired by that legacy, a new dream is born. A dream with a seafaring soul, with the scent of salt, the Mediterranean breeze and the essence of Nerja. A dream that pays tribute to his memory, to his way of living and loving, and to his lasting place in the heart of his town.
  3. Because some people leave not only memories, but also roots.
    And this story, without a doubt, bears his name:
    Paco “El Churretero”.
