Excellent tapas

Can’t add too much other reviewers haven’t said already.
They wanted to be fully vegan but it’s not economically working for them so they offer a few non-vegan dish, but really they have a menue targeted for vegans. Would def go again

Pros: Lots of options, Very friendly staff , Clean

Best vegan tapas on the island

Amazing food and friendly staff. 3/4 of the menu is vegan. We ate here for two evenings and still didn't manage to try all the vegan options. Everything was delicious.

Enjoyed it

Tried the bread and aioli (nice), taquitos (nice), mushrooms (very good), albondigas (very good), chorizo (very good) and papas bravas (good).
Would recommend there, enjoyed what we had and would go back.

Mega Auswahl

Bei Ankunft wurden wir super nett begrüßt und gefragt woher wir kommen. Darauf haben wir eine deutsche Karte bekommen. Auf der Karte ist genau gekennzeichnet, was vegan und vegetarisch ist. Auf Nachfrage konnte man sogar alle vegetarischen Gerichte auch vegan bekommen (halt mit Änderungen). War alles wirklich super lecker. Ich würde sogar 5 Sterne geben, das geht aber nur bei rein vegetarisch/veganen Läden

Muy lentos, casi una hora para tres tapas.

Son muy lentos, calentar unas albóndigas vegetales y hacer un taco no puede llevar cerca de 1 hora cuando el restaurante está casi vacío, sólo 3 mesas más. A los que se sentaron al lado les trajeron más de cuatro tapas en 10 minutos. Igual es que hay que ser guiri para que te sirvan antes.

Pros: Comida aceptable, Muchas opciones veganas

Cons: Tiempo cocina

Hola acv84,
Lamentamos mucho que no haya quedado satisfecho. Sin embargo, nos gustaría señalar que no nos gusta referirnos a las personas como guiris. No importa si eres local, extranjero o turista. Todos reciben el mismo nivel de respeto con nosotros.

Lots of vegan tapas options

Lots of vegan options and mocktails. Particularly enjoyed the beetroot carpaccio. We had 6 dishes and it was a good amount for two people.

This is the must visit place in Maspalomas

We had 2 amazing meals here. The staff were lovely. Almost everything on the menu could be made vegan. I didn't take as many photos this visit as the food was so tasty but highlights were the kebab, vegetable (meat)balls and the curry sausage. Please visit as it's such a lovely chilled place with great food and lovely staff. We hope to be back soon!.

Best vegan food choice in Maspalomas.

Came here by accident as good vibes was shut, and so glad we did. We thought that it had a limited menu from a previous review, but upon arriving, we saw it was extensive. The restaurant setting is delightful with ambient lighting and chilled acoustic cover music. The staff was so attentive without being intrusive and very welcoming. Most of the vegetarian options can be veganised so there's lots of choice. We had 7 plates and were full to bursting, so would recommend a couple eating should go for 5/6. That being said, each dish was so delicious that we ate every last bit. Would thoroughly recommend, and although we only have 2 days left here, we will be returning. Would give it 5 stars, but as they serve a few meat dishes, the app won't let me.

Pros: Fantastic choice of food, Fresh and great quality food, Lovely atmosphere

Absolutely fantastic!

I absolutely would give this 5* if that was an available option on here! (They do sell some meat options so Happy Cow doesn't allow 5*). The staff were lovely, everything on the menu can be made Vegan (except the cheese board) and the food was outstanding. It's worth the trip just for the Vegan Aioli! Definitely the best food we had on the island.

Amazing

Best food of the whole trip. Serves so many amazing vegan and vegetarian tapas dishes. They also have a very cozy and nice atmosphere. We ate her two times and were planning to come back a third time to have the last meal of the trip, only to find it was closed. We were devastated. Especially liked the curry sausage, the vegetarian balls in tomato sauce the vegetarian taqitos (might have spelled it wrong) and the potato dish. Make sure to visit el saloon if you are in maspalomas, just make sure to check the opening hours.

Pros: Food, Atmosphere , Employee

Cons: Not open every day

Huge choice of vegan options!

I was speaking to the owner who is vegetarian and he was telling me how he initially wanted it to just be vegetarian and vegan but a few meat and fish options had to be added as it wasn't financially viable to do this. That being said, there are a lot more vegetarian and vegan options than meat/fish options which is great to see!!

For 2 people we got 7 dishes which was a lot of food so I'd say 5/6 would be a good amount for 2 people. The food was really good and I loved the Mexican style tapas. Everything that says vegetarian can be made vegan if you ask (except the cheese board).

While we had to wait a little while for the table, the service was amazing!! The owner seems to be doing everything himself (he's constantly running around) but he never seems stressed when he comes over to the table. He was great at checking if we needed anything else and asking how the food was and even had time for a chat as we were paying. I love supporting smaller businesses like this and I really encourage anyone to go here when visiting Gran Canaria!!

Pros: Owner was lovely , Love tapas, get to taste a lot of dishes, Great amount of vegan options

Cons: Wait for table, service was great though

Solid Options & Quality

Food was probably a 4/5 …. chick’n tacos were very tasty and the patatas bravas cooked to perfection. Service was lacking when we went. Polite and friendly but did take a very long time - I think they may have been short staffed when we went

Im Prinzip gibt es fast alles auf der Karte auch als vegane Variante die dabei sehr gut schmecken. Die Rubrik Fleisch und Fisch natürlich aussen vor.
Ich kann das Restaurant weiterempfehlen und würde wieder kommen.
