A nice rustic little place hidden down a back street, many local people here which is usually a good sign, has an outside terrace but only has a view of surrounding cars and walls. All tables filled up quickly so maybe reserve in advance to be sure (open for lunch until 3pm and then dinner from 7pm) Staff gave an efficient service and everything arrived promptly. An authentic varied menu with many tempting choices but don't over order as portions are a good size. The Pulpo a la plancha (grilled baby octopus) was among the best I've ever had, cooked perfectly - tasty, juicy and tender as it should be with salad, mojo potatoes and marinated tuna, perfect! Everything seemed reasonably priced, the only real negative for me is that the red wine is served chilled but maybe this is how the locals like it? Have been here twice now and will defo be returning again until I've tried the whole damn menu!

Undoubtedly the best croquetas and pulpo I had during this trip to the Canary Islands. Overall food great, just a little bit disappointed by the ventresca. Service kind and friendly. I went twice and I will be back next time I'll travel to Lanzarote! The bill both times was about 60 € (30 € pp), with two mains and one starter plus 3/4 glasses of wine. Complementary dessert and chupito for us, thank you! See you next time!

I ordered a grilled octopus and a grilled squid. Amazing taste, perfectly cooked. The staff was great too, and the atmosphere felt authentic and welcoming. Absolutely recommended if you want to taste sea food.

Lovely small restaurant, very authentic, the staff are extremely kind, make you feel welcome, like at home. The food is very authentic, I had once grilled octopus and the second time grilled calamari and they were tasty. The owner brings them fresh, each morning. We had a misunderstanding on the menu and ordered something that we didn’t like, and they were so kind and changed our plates. They also offered us deserts and small liquor drinks for free. Strongly recommended

Can't recommend this place enough. It was my favourite restaurant in Arrecife. Super friendly staff, great food and drinks, and a reasonable price. Atmosphere was super local, being in a backstreet, and had a homey feel. I really would go back again and again.
