Mallow - Vega de San Mateo

A simple restaurant cafe with local delicacies worth trying. Cheap prices and fast service.

After having had enough of the resort Life, i must say it was amazing to Finally find a place that reminds me of the small tapas shops in Melilla. Preparere some words Spanish so you dont look like a fool, And preparere to see the entire towns daily Life, i was there on a sunday because of the market, And its always Nice to have some tapas And a veterano for lunch with the locals!!

After visiting the bustling Sunday market at Vega de San Mateo, we stopped here for some lunch. We had paella and sancocho canario, only available on Sundays and festival days. Everything was 100% authentic. sancocho canario is salt fish with gofio, boiled potatoes and squash. I can't say I loved it, and there was loads of it, but what it was was traditional. The meat paella was great, but could have been warmer. We paid virtually nothing. There is music and dancing in Vega de San Mateo on Sunday afternoons, and as one hombre told me after we had a dance and a beer, it is the true Gran Canaria.

Buen cafecito para entrar en calor y un rico bocadillo de pata. El Camarero que estaba atendiendo super amable y simpático.

Es un local que se nota que es de gente que viene habitual a los cuales se les hace más caso y cuando te ven esperando en la barra tardan bastante en atenderte, luego los camareros se poner a charlar con las personas asiduas y dejan esperando a los clientes en sus mesas, aparte el ambiente es demasiado ruidoso con muchos gritos para comunicarse entre ellos. La comida está bastante bien, al menos lo que he degustado.
