Most cafes use the cheapest coffee... I assume grind up the coffee in a dirty shoe first. Then most use the terrible tap water rather than bottled water. But there are 4 cafes near the beach in Las Palmas worthy of my return. And this place is one of them. And bonus... usually you get a bit size very small piece of cake. Not large enough to worry about the calories, but enough to just have a nice sweet special something with a coffee. And they always remember me and start my order when I come in. Now my class is over, I do come here at the weekends when I have time. They do also serve booze and food. You always get free nibbles when you order a drink. That's typical of the Canaries.

They have traditional Canarian tapas as well as more tourist friendly food (pizza, hamburgers, sandwich) for your picky eaters. The service is quick and attentive. Highly recommend ordering the tapas. Especially the papas arrugadas. They provide the sauce on the side... because it's that good. I took a spoonful because I couldn't get enough! Tips: Eat outside for a nicer ambiance. Free WiFi Televisión to watch the game

The service is the most friendly I have experienced, the terrace facing Santa Catalina Park is always packed, many locals come here, and your orders are delivered fast. The prices are moderate for the quality they offer and whenever I have the chance I will come here for lunch or dinner. Forget the other restaurants there, only Nuevo Rio will serve you great and tasty food and good drinks!

I enjoyed a bocadillo de calamares (fried calamari sandwich) with fries for 3.20 euros and a beer for 1.40 euros. It was tasty but quite heavy, since both were fried. A variety of seafoods is on offer in either full or half portions, so if you love fish, calamari, octopus and so on, you'll love this menu. The service was quick in terms of getting my order in and food but it did take a while to get my check. The restaurant is very clean and looks very new/renovated.

I typically order the bocadillo de pata asada (roasted leg of pork) with queso majorero (aged cheese) and pimento (red pepper), which is ~3 euros. If I go for dessert, I order a chocolate classico and an order of churros. The food here isn't refined. It tastes great to me when I wait and wait to cook dinner, realize that I don't have groceries, and want to eat quickly. It's also a great spot to eat, sit, and chat right outside on Ave. Mesa y Lopez.
