"During July and August when the beaches of Salobreña are very crowded, we tend to explore some of the restaurants in town. So pleased we stumbled across Mesón de la Villa. Outside appears somewhat disheveled with plants escaping from their pots; however, do not be put off as the service and food did not disappoint. Whilst we had the menu del día, we shall certainly return to sample the eclectic menu which includes raciones and tapas. The ensalada mixta was fresh and generously portioned as were the second course dishes of lomo (pork loin) and croquettas (ham and cheese), accompanied by sauteed mushrooms and fried potatoes. As we were finishing our first course, we were served a lovely tapa of smoked fish with salad leaves together with small glasses of chilled sopa verde (a refreshing soup of fresh vegetables and herbs). Along side all of this we were served a rosca (circle of bread) that was hot, fresh and drizzled in oil. The range of postres (puddings) we were offered sounded delicious, but we were already full and opted for coffee instead. Our waiter, Daniel, could not have been more attentive. Rather than being slow, I would describe the service as relaxed as befits a leisurely Spanish lunch. The menu del día is 10€"
