Customers often praise the quick and friendly service. The menu is huge, with a strong focus on classic Canarian food.
For starters, you can't go wrong with almogrote, cheese boards, sweet potato salad, croquettes, "broken eggs," Gomeran-style potatoes, grilled mushrooms, or the popular fish churros. They also have hearty spoon dishes like the soup of the day, escaldón, and chickpeas.
To wash it all down, they serve fruity red and white wine from a well-known local winery, poured straight from the barrel, just like in traditional guachinches.
Don't forget dessert! They offer homemade treats like "grandmother's cake" and cheesecake, alongside other classic options.
