A Spanish restaurant, rated 4.7 on Google from 10 reviews — too few to rank yet.
Gibraltar Index

Only 10 reviews so far — below our 15-review threshold, so we hold off on an Index Score rather than trust a number that thin. Our fortnightly read will score it once it crosses 15. How this works

Our review
Asador Los Olivillos is a Spanish grill and takeaway in Units 11 and 12 of the Ocean Heights Gallery. It is not on Tripadvisor; on Google it has 4.7 from 10 reviews, seven with text, re-read on 6 September 2026. Ten reviews is under the fifteen needed to rank, so it is listed but not ranked; the newest review is from July 2026.
Chicken is the point. Two reviewers call it the best in Gibraltar, one after several orders that were always good and not too expensive, and the Spanish-language reviews add homemade cooking, chips that are fresh rather than frozen, homemade desserts worth taking away, and a manager and his wife who serve with a smile.
One two-star review from June 2026 sounds a warning: a regular found the bread on sandwiches uncooked and, another time, chicken and chips undercooked, and said the quality had slipped from what it was. That reviewer promised one more try; nothing since contradicts either view, and one of the five-star fans admits the chips are sometimes a little over-fried.
Come for chicken and chips to take home, with a homemade dessert on the side, and treat the score as a first impression. Nobody from Gibraltar Index has eaten here; this write-up is drawn from the reviews.
Written from the Google reviews and Google's score on 6 September 2026, not from a meal we ate — nobody from Gibraltar Index has eaten here. It is not listed on Tripadvisor. The recurring themes it draws on are below.

How it compares
It holds 4.7 out of 5 on Google from 10 reviews. It is not listed on Tripadvisor, so the Index rests on Google alone.
How the Gibraltar Index Score is built
It is not an average of the two. Each source is weighted by how many reviews it carries, then pulled toward the Gibraltar average so a high score from a handful of reviews cannot outrank a strong score from thousands. Asador Los Olivillos scores 4.7 from 10 on Google — below the 15-review threshold, so it is not scored yet. The fortnightly refresh will score it once it clears 15 reviews.
We read the 7 most recent Tripadvisor reviews and summarised what recurs, in our own words; the reviews we drew on are quoted below, attributed to their authors. The Tripadvisor and Google scores are each shown 1:1 as those platforms publish them; the Index Score is ours and the formula is above. Nobody from Gibraltar Index has eaten here, so nothing is a first-hand verdict.
