Cactus Faro

As a dim tourist, I fancied paella one of the nights of my trip. I enjoy this dish and we’re in Spain…sort of? To be fair, our very friendly waiter explained that paella is not a popular dish in the Canaries, you’ll get it 100 times better in Valencia, but pay a lot more. In other words, this ain’t perfect paella….but I did like his honesty and was happy to try it. The dish was ok, overly seasoned and much heavier on the garlic than it should be, but I got jokingly scolded for not using the lemon, which may have broke this up a bit. Fish soup was lovely to start with, and the shellfish were fresh and plump in both courses. We would probably return based on the waiter’s honesty.

Well we had a drink over from this place so I decided on a meal here later as the staff seemed very nice. Anyway my prawn cocktail was more of a fruit cocktail with added prawns. Steak cooked well but loads of fat, few chips no salad just one tomato grilled pepper. Overall good service but very overpriced meal. Wouldn't return.

I was surprised with the quality. the grilled fish mixed plate was delicious and good quantity and variety. the food was really tasty. great quality and value for money. service was fast.

It was not great, we were walking by and fell for the waiters telling you come in and try, to be fair we did and it was not great at all, the prawns gambas were okay for a starter, but then the worst, I mean worst ceaser salad I have ever had, beggars belief how you can f that up, Ordered a litre of sangria, again awful. I write this honestly in the hope I can save others from a wasted time and money experience.

Lovely little restaurant by the beach. Food is excellent and nice cocktails at reasonable prices. Staff are very nice.
