Buying their fish from port and growing as much of their own veg as possible. If it can be home made it is ! Right down the delicious garlic mayo and tartar sauce . We had the Grilled Sole special and the Mussels El Golfo. Perfectly cooked great tasting cuisine.... The next day we returned and started with a shell fish soup. It was more stew like than soup and more fish,squid and prawns than shell fish but it was perfect and so tasty I ended up licking the bowl clean ! She had some tomatoe soup which was divine but not in the same class of my shellfish. For mains I had a grilled fish platter. I couldn't tell you exactly what was there but I can say there were five or six types on my plate and it was all very very nice. The trump card for this establishment is their pricing. We spent less than 15 quid for two courses with wine. Which for food of this quality is a bargain !

We got seated immediately at an ocean front table with these beautiful blue paper table cloths. My mom and I ordered a mixed salad and a paella, knowing it would take ~25 min to cook but extremely content with our seats. Everything about this place is awesome, the fresh ingredients, the savory mojos and the friendly waitstaff! I honestly could not stop eating the bread because the mojo sauces that came with them were to die for. My mom made me stop eating so I could rally and finish the paella. Of course all the portions were huge so we couldn't finish them, although we really wanted to keep eating even after we were stuffed. The mixed salad was so fresh and had all sorts of vegetables in it. It seems traditional to put tuna and hard boiled eggs in the "mixed salads" in the canaries, but I love both those ingredients so it's a plus for me. The paella came after we were literally full from the salad, but we obviously had to keep eating. It was so picture worthy and beautiful, with great flavors as well. They don't skimp out on the seafood portion! The restaurant is so affordable and probably the best experience I had dining in the Canaries. If only the islands were closer to the US!

There's an inside and outside area; so if you want to get out of the sun (though there is overhead shade), and you don't like taking in magnificent views, then sure sit inside in the cosiness! But if that IS your thing, pull yourself up a chair on the terrace, and sit back and take it all in. The food is also excellent. I had fresh fish fillet which was so fresh it practically melted in my mouth, with a massive salad, and plate of small gorgeous little potatoes with a side of various sauces. The staff were lovely too - warm, welcoming, professional & on the ball. Highly recommended.

I had a starter and a main, both of which were spectacular. The others in the group (of 11) all enjoyed their food, with the exception of a pancake for dessert which apparently wasn't great. We were all impressed with the service, two and sometimes three waiters (one, as the main waiter, made conversation and ensured we were happy at all times); and the freebies, which included fresh cheese & cured ham with warm bread for starters, and a variety of schnapps choices to finish. The above is why I'm giving the place 5 stars. It could be said that the ambience isn't greatly inspiring, and the place is small-ish, but I feel they deserve a 5-star rating nonetheless.

We ordered the local specialty, lampas, which come on a roasting pan covered in green mojo sauce. We also got razor clams, which weren't actually on the menu but we specially requested, and clams in garlic oil. All the seafood dishes were well cooked and delicious. We also ordered the Canarian potatoes w/ mojo sauces (because of course), shishito peppers, seafood croquettes, and bread + butter (which they charge for). Overall we left quite satiated and the bill wasn't overly pricey. We were, however, offput by the service. They spilled a whole glass of cava while filling and didn't even offer to replace the portion lost (we ordered a bottle). There were so many mishaps and it was difficult to get ahold of them - overall we attributed this to a laid back style of dining.
