    Esther is an amazing waitress. Fabulous service. Can’t fault really. Selection of tapas to the wine varieties are too good to be true. Make sure to indulge yourself. Nice atmosphere and vibe. Definitely a spot to chill and not to be missed.

    No better food on the island. Get here early it opens at 8. Places go fast especially on the weekend. Food is to die for. I had the Spanish sausage followed by the duck and then the melted cheese. German efficiency can learn from this staff (sorry all Germans out there). Favorite place for locals so that says something! Stop reading this and make your way down here! As a famous Austrian once said.. I'll be back!

    This is a hidden gem of flavours. We tried (1) fried cheese with melon marmalade, (2) pork cheeks and (3) and beef with brown sauce and these were the most tasty dishes I had so far in Las Palmas! Also great prices. Do not forget the desert, (4) polvito uruguayo ! Service is great and if you can’t decide what to choose just ask what is their best dishes. This is not a fancy place but if you are a food traveler then this is a good start :)

    Place looks good but the personnel have no idea how to serve traditional food. I asked for tapas and been told they don't have any. I've been given the worst dish ever in my life. Also, be careful when you pay and check the bill. I asked why I'm charged more and then I was given a different bill.

    Cozy little place, but I'm not impressed by the people running it. We showed up early, lots of empty tables. Ordered three dishes and two glasses of wine. When we ordered two more glasses of wine, rather than dessert, the server explained that if we weren't going to order more food, we should vacate the table. She didn't suggest we take a seat at the bar, which was empty. She wasn't cool about it at all. Just "we could make more money from someone else than if you sit here for another ten minutes drinking your wine." If we'd ordered dessert for 8 euros, that would've been fine. But two glasses of wine for 6 euros was a problem. In all, we were in the place for 45 minutes. Not the sort of thing that normally happens in Spain, in my experience. Bad vibe.

    A very small place where people were queuing even before they opened. Friendly staff and cozy interior. The food was very good and a bit different to other places around the island.

    Very authentic tapas bar with a rather small but exquisite selection of tapas. Tapas are reasonably priced and a glass of wine only costs 2.50€ for example. You definitely need to try the fried cheese and minced meat. Both are absolutely delicious and the service was friendly and fast. They have a small amount of tables inside as well as outside. Definitely worth a visit!

    Fantastic place, hence why is preferred by locals. It can get busy. The tapas are very good, we forgot to take photos of couple of them cause they were so good 😅. Service is very nice and helpful. Ps: recommending the mushroom langoustine croquettes.

    THE restaurant experience of a life time!! It's was SO good and the service was amazing!! We couldn't choose so we had a surprise selection from the waitress, outstanding!! And for 10 plates of tapas in total and 2 pints each, we paid 20€ each! (We were 6). Cannot recommend enough! Wish I could give more than 5 stars! Very small place so we had to wait an hour but sooo worth the wait, would wait even longer if required to be there again.

    Sehr kleiner und schöner Laden, herzliche Atmosphäre. Wir kamen direkt um 20 Uhr und bekamen noch einen Tisch, kurz danach war es aber schon voll. Die verschiedenen Speisen wurden uns ausführlich auf englisch erklärt und wir bekamen gute Empfehlungen. Besonders den Queso frita con Salsa de melon muss man probiert haben! Der Polvito Uruguayo war auch sehr lecker, wenn auch etwas zu groß und mächtig. Es gibt außerdem eine sehr große Wein Auswahl.

    Best tapas in town, very authentic and cosy, lovely selection of wines too. We got the local Gran Canaria white wine, which was excellent. The tapas menu is varied, and all our selections were really tasty. Highly recommended. Can be very busy but worth the wait if you have to que.

    I understand the place is small and they need to min-max the space. But after booking and arriving we were told that 5 people should eat using A (as in one) single table. To anyone seeing this review, make the math to fit 5 people that measures on average 50cm of width to a table that roughly measures 200cm of perimeter. 200-250 = -50cm. Let the fifth one eat on the ground like the dogs !!!

    Wir waren zweimal da und haben uns durchprobiert. Essen ist, denke ich auf einem sehr guten Level (wie es hier auch viele schreiben), manches war einfach nicht mein Geschmack. Beim queso frito con salsa de melón war der Käse so würzig und stark im Geschmack, dass ich nicht alles aufessen konnte. Dafür war aber das Tartar sehr lecker! Meinem Freund hat alles geschmeckt. Service ist sehr nett. Es sind nur die Stühle sehr unbequem und es gibt nur hohe Barhocker.

    Excellent food, great staff and lovely atmosphere. The fried cheese in melon marmalade, Galileo salad and rib eye steak were lovely. Our second visit in a week, thoroughly recommended, great value

  • 5/5 Юлия �. 11 months ago on Google
    Went here already 5-6 times this month. Excellent! My recommendation is: fried cheese, salmon tartar and tenderloin in truffle sauce mmmm

  • 5/5 Federico N. 1 year ago on Google
    Fantastic place, fantastic food and great service. Just on the side of the touristic places along the beach you find this little gem. I ordered a cod tortilla and a little caña. Great quality and great service, total 10 euro. Must come back

  • 5/5 Catherine G. 1 year ago on Google
    Highly recommended. Best advice is to arrive a little before 8pm and join the queue of people waiting on a table (first come, first served). We ordered a varied selection of tapas and enjoyed it all (favourites were the sausage in pastry, sweet big beans, pork cheeks and pulvito Uruguayo). Bill came to 25 euro a head including tip, service was excellent and our table was occupied by the next group on the waiting list as soon as we stood up!!

    The first Tapas restaurant we visited in Gran Canaria and it exceeded my expectations. Every dish was just perfect. If I were to visit Gran Canaria again it would be just to eat here again.

  • 5/5 Tracey H. 1 year ago on Google
    A real gem of a place. Simple menu with good prices and attentive service. The stuffed mushrooms with prawn are delicious, as are the steaks and the oxtail pie. This place is successful because it does not try to be pretentious or classy, just a simple restaurant bar serving great tasting food and getting repeat clients back because of it.

    Come at 19:55 to secure a table. Food was delicious and the staff made it a very personal experience. Highly recommended
