Asador Pollos
The only chicken shop in Mijas just happens to serve the best roast chicken in the World. Run by Angel and Sandra, their chickens can sell out fast along with their homemade croquettes, ribs, stew, chicken pies and salads.
Not strictly a restaurant but well worth a visit, there are a few tables outside the shop if you want to sit and eat but this is mainly take-away. Small selection of wines and beers available.

La Alcazaba
La Alcazaba restaurant has some of the best views of the coast and a very extensive menu available. Prices are more expensive than most restaurants in the village, however it is very popular for special occasions such as new years eve and birthdays. Reviews of this restaurant have been mixed regarding the food and service.
Los Arcos
Situated in the corner of the main plaza, the restaurant is mainly aimed at tourists. The waiters can be a little pushy and try to persuade you to enter as you pass-by although the town hall has made this now illegal to do. The menu has mainly Spanish and local dishes, all reasonable priced and the quality of food is generally good although the menu selection is surprisingly limited. Please note, menu prices do not include taxes.
