This place is an absolute must! Food is a delight, a large menu with everything from snacks to a full meal. We chose from the tapas menu, and never have I tasted food as good as this.

Our latest discovery on our trips to Arrecife. Lovely central location and everything you would want from a local cafe/bar. Friendly and very reasonably priced. If the Lanzarotenos like it then it must be good.
