Cheap tapas and tasty. -We had pasta of the day (only about 5 strings of pasta). -Tortilla best we had in Gran Canaria. Big and tasty. -Croquettes was not mentioned it was mix? We found one chicken nugget and asked and they said yeah it’s included?? -Good garlic bread. Just 1 slice though. -Meatballs were good but nothing special.

Lovely place for tapas and much more besides. Very cosy and homely and mein host is very friendly. Well worth a visit. Bear in mind though that it doesn't open in an evening. That's not a criticism just a point to be aware of if you're planning a visit.
