We ate here quite a few times during our stay! The food is amazing and the staff were really friendly and helpful! Very chilled and relaxed atmosphere!

Went there when we were in Arrecife and were looking for lunch. We had snack food (arrepaq and club sandwich) it was good. Didn’t try tapas. Less than 20€ for 2 with 2 beers

Amazing staff! Amazing food! Amazing place! Just an amazing experience on the island and a very great place to eat and enjoy the afternoon! If possible eat the octopus it's

Quite a nice eatery on the water. Reasonably priced full serves of tapas that were quite good. The staff have only rudimentary English skills, but are quite amiable and quick with service. Beautiful spot to be around sunset if you can get a table outside

If you want genuine Spanish youth bar experience then this is the place to come. It has a fantastic view over the Charco small harbour. The service is great as is the atmosphere. The best nachos I've ever had.

We were visiting La Minoca few months ago during our vacation in Lanzarote and we still think about the food from there! During 10 day holiday we visited it daily, for a drink, for snacks and for the atmosphere Fast service, friendly waiters, good prices and relaxing music in the background - could be a reason for us to come back to the island again
