La Marinerita

La Marinerita is a bar and restaurant in Plaza Virgen del Mar in Cabo de Palos. As its name suggests, the marinera is the house tapa, and visitors highlight its new takes on this Murcian recipe of Russian salad on a bread ring topped with an anchovy.

Beyond the marinera (Russian salad on a bread ring with an anchovy)

The menu continues with tapas and sharing plates: octopus, croquettes, patatas bravas (potatoes with spicy sauce), huevos rotos (fried eggs broken over chips) and Andalusian-style fried fish, alongside burgers for those wanting something more substantial.

Summer dinners

Open Tuesday to Sunday in the afternoon and evening, and closed on Mondays. In August the place fills up and several reviews mention long waits for food, so in peak season it is worth allowing plenty of time or booking an early table. There is a terrace and the entrance is wheelchair-accessible. To compare, see other restaurants in Cabo de Palos.
