The place is very busy but the staff are brilliant and full of fun. My boyfriend had a steak and he loved it also. Would definitely recommend this place due to the food, value for money, and staff being fantastic and good fun.

The place is quite big and they take care of keeping a 'rustic' feel throughout. We had a table near the window. The steak we ordered was cooked to perfection and quite big. we ordered the wine that was on the table and were pleasantly surprised. It tasted well and was a reasonable price. Service and attention was a little scatty, but nothing too bad. As it is no smoking inside public places I had to go up front near the entrance to smoke. There I met several cats - like you do in GC. As far as steak restaurants go - it was OK

Conversations were definitely not private. Service was ok. Hugo D ordered Grilled Dorado while I had Grilled Sea Bass/Lubina. Mine came out over-grilled so it was mostly dry. Plus I don't remember a sea bass ever having so many little bones. At nighttime it's hard to see the bones. Live and learn. I liked the onion soup but think the best part of the meal was the Canarian potatoes. Cute and small with a tasty sauce. We didn't want a whole bottle so it was house wines by the glass. Just ok, nothing remarkable for our first Spanish wines this trip.

We came to El Gaucho on our first night of vacaciones per the recommendation of our host, a Gran…read moreCanaria native. Upon arriving at El Gaucho's terrace, the host, a lovely British gentleman greeted us amiably, and set up a prime table so that we could enjoy the sea breeze and the outdoor climate. We ordered the paella, the fried onion rings, the meat (of course), the gazpacho, and a small salad (there were six of us, so this amount seems reasonable, I think). The paella was the best I've ever had - our waiter divvied it up lovingly between my bestie and I, and he called us his "kids." He also presented us with some warm lemon water to wash our hands before our meal. Everything was delightful and all of the waiters were fantastic. Our main attendant was hysterical, and at the end of the meal, he presented us with caramel vodka. I have to say, that goes down far too easily. We like El Gaucho so much that we came back to dine for our last night in Gran Canaria. Sadly the British host and our main waiter were not there, but the food was still wonderful!

For a price of just over €21 each, it is a great opportunity to try this very expensive cut of meat at a reasonable price. The food was delicious, the service good, and the environment nice and cozy (including nice clean toilets). The only thing that I can say I didn't award 5 stars was because there are a myriad of Steak Houses in Playa Del Ingles and whilst everything was satisfactory, there was nothing about El Gaucho that blew me away.

I was a little intimidated by the menu but quality goes a long way - I tried the tripe starter and the octopus for my main and both were delicious. The true star, however, was the Lemon foam dessert - so light and flavorful and it looked just like a lemon! The service is great as is the ambiance. One of the more expensive restaurants we visited but still relatively cheap when compared to dining prices in the USA.

Yelp Review #800! To celebrate, I'm posting a 5-star review of LoLa Casual Fine Dining, hands down…read morethe best restaurant we dined in Maspalomas, Gran Canaria. It's popular so reservations are a must. The restaurant is intimate and has a beautiful, open and well designed dining room. Even so, Hugo D and I chose to sit on the outdoor patio under clear evening skies. Guests tend to dress a bit better at this restaurant, so don't really run in here in a-shirts/tank tops and flip flops. Service is 5-star amazing. I could not believe how one waiter, sometimes two, were able to efficiently cover all the tables, taking orders, pouring wine, bussing, and still have time to be professional, friendly and cordial. They know their stuff. The owner is also super friendly! LoLa is a foodie's delight. Every dish came out like a work of art. Tastebuds exploded with both familiar and unique flavors. We were so impressed that we returned on our last night at the same table (and I had the same entree)! We were both amazed by our Octopus Carpaccio. Sliced so delicately yet powerfully tasty! The Beetroot came in a beautiful fuchsia swirl. The Salmon Sashimi was probably the most gorgeously plated dish of all, with 3-D microgreens and edible flowers. So delicious! Hugo loved his Iberia Pork Filet main dish (and his Octopus Teriyaki the second visit). I thought nothing beat the Lamb Shoulder which I had both nights. The lamb was perfection. Whatever you like for dessert, make sure Lemon is one of them. A smashing success, and a perfect ending to a smashingly successful dinner (twice)! The wine list is not extensive, but it does have something for everyone. We were able to taste-test prior to the full glass pours. My favorite was a full-bodied Rioja, Marqués de Victoria Crianza 2021. We were grateful to the owner who gave us an extra pour to keep us around! By the time you read this, the menu probably will have seasonally changed. But I'm sure the creative inventiveness and taste remains. LoLa is definitely worth an evening out!
