"AKN spent over nine days in the isla and discovered this amazing place with his brother. In the street of a lot of restaurant ‘El Mono Curioso’ let them try two pinchos with an artisanal beer ‘La Canariona’. The waiter Mario was very nice and funny. As Ligabue’s song says ‘Ci vediamo da Mario, prima o poi…’"

"Very very nice place! Got great drink recommendations from Gulia (Gin Tonic with a canarian gin with cactus fruit and a homemade rum punch) and the drinks were amazing! Also the food is really delicious and the atmosphere is very cozy. Can only recommend coming here, especially on Thursday when there is Noche del Pincho in the whole street"
