El Refugio Takeawey
Takeaway
A Takeaway restaurant, rated 5.0 on Google from 2 reviews — too few to rank yet.
Gibraltar Index
Not scored yetNot scored yet
Only 2 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
El Refugio Takeawey, as Google spells it, is a takeaway on Shackleton Road. It is not on Tripadvisor; on Google it has 5.0 from 2 reviews, only one with text, re-read on 6 September 2026. It is listed on the Index but not ranked, and the one written review is from February 2026.
That review says the food is delicious, and nothing more. There is no word on what it serves, what it costs or when it opens, so we cannot tell you.
Come if you are on Shackleton Road and curious, and let the reviews catch up. Nobody from Gibraltar Index has eaten here; this write-up rests on a single review, which is not enough to say anything with confidence.
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 5.0 out of 5 on Google from 2 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. El Refugio Takeawey scores 5.0 from 2 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 1 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.
