“ We ended up here as a coincidence looking for somewherr to eat some local food. We ordered 6 tapas (goats cheese, papas arrugadas, chistrorra, carne fiesta, pollo canario and the prawns). Portion sizes are really generous (as each tapa is more or less 5 euros each) and food is really tasty. After the third tapa, ended up asking them to serve a little less, as we wanted to try the food but didnt want food to go to waste. The restaurant is cosy and the hostess and the chef were really nice. Great find! ”
“ Really lovely little bar which doesn’t look like much from the outside but the quality of the food is gorgeous. The waitress was really lovely and very attentive. Homemade food of great quality and price. Definitely a must visit! ”
“ Great little tapas bar. Really friendly service from Janice as soon as we walked in. The homemade Mojo sauces are special! Portions are on the heartier side. You will leave full. I'd recommend the garlic prawns. ”
“ I'm so glad we came here. The service was so friendly and warm. They provided every puzzle they had to entertain our little girl. The food was very good, highlights were the pattas bravas, the Spanish omelette (was so good) and the meatballs. Wine was good, venue was intimate and the price was very reasonable. Plus the little dog was a lovely addition. Would recommend and we will go back before we leave ”
“ Very good restaurant. Attentive service, pleasant local atmosphere. The food was delicious with fair portions. Price is absolutely fair. At the end had some complimentary sweets. Ordered mixed grill fish and chicken skewers with greek salas. The only slight concern - it took time to get food cooked. But we were not in a rush. ”
“ Tasty food, good prices, slower service than usual, if you have the time you should try it ”
“ This restaurant is amazing!!!!! We ended up there by accident, looking for a restaurant and we liked it so much! We came back there for the next few days The food was delicious, the portions large and surprisingly not expensive. The decoration was very nice. Waiting time was a little bit long because there is only one chef. Because of that the prepared food is fresh and delicious. It was worth to wait, in the meantime sip delicious wine and talk to the extraordinary woman, who is the owner. This lady takes care of every detail and puts all her heart into the decoration, atmosphere and for the customers We greet you and hope to see you again!

“ One of the best Cordon Bleu dishes I've ever had! Along with delicious Canarian potatoes and a homemade salad – the portion was perfect: I’m not overly full (which I don’t like), but perfectly satisfied. I feel fantastic, and even though it’s already 22:00, I got a real boost of energy. Everything tasted absolutely amazing. The staff was very kind and attentive, and they speak excellent English. You can feel the natural warmth and authenticity in the whole experience. I wholeheartedly recommend it – with all my heart… and stomach! ”
