“ Really good & kind service, huge portions! Half portion is really enough, we had 4 (half) starters and one Canarian main dish and we couldn’t finish it (we were 2 persons). We can highly recommend the shrimps, mushrooms and the dates, everything tasted really good and the prices are fair! ”
“ Very good and traditional food. It tasted amazing and the staff was so friendly. It was very busy, so it is a popular place to eat, I would definitely recommend going there. ”
“ Delicious homecooked food! Everything was delicious but the canarian tortilla was just amazing: incredibly flavorful and perfectly seasoned. We can only recommend! ”
“ We were there yesterday and so satisfied with what we ordered. The grilled cheese tasted good as well as the croquette and the canarian omlette. ”
“ Love this place! Take 1/2 portions and try many things, you wont regret it. We took 4 Tapas and one main course between two of us and were full. Only meal I would skip next time is the sardines one, you can do without it. The place is clean, cosy and the workers are so nice! The prices seem fair for the quality and the amount of food but keep in mind we are tourists so maybe we are biased! ”
“ I apologize we took no pictures. Every dish we ordered was so amazing we swallowed it all before we could document. Heartily recommend to not miss this place. With a group, I'd probably recommend to order full portions as everything was so tasty, and the half portions were not as oversized as some guachinches have been. I wish we had not been conditioned to be careful of portion sizes here! OK, I lied, we ordered one more dish, and here is some queso asado! Wait....now Canarian flan! ”
“ Amazing experience! The food was incredible and we came twice during our trip! We will be back next time! Thank you for the kind service as well! ”
“ A great local restaurant. Lots of non-obvious items on the menu that we had the opportunity to try for the first time. Everything was delicious, but the portions are huge, even 1/2!!! Be careful, because you will go home with a container of food :) ”
