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.

Churros muy ricos, crujiente en el exterior, jugoso en el interior y nada aceitoso. Si estás buscando churros de chocolate, este es el lugar.

Me decepcionó. La atención de uno de sus empleados, que nada más vino nos ofreció con un montón de aperitivos y otros delicatessen, pero sus modales y formas cambiaron cuando lo como que en ese momento – eran las ocho de la mañana – sólo un café y un par de churros nos apeló. Luego, en el café con leche que pedí, debe haber 90% de leche. El jugo de naranja vino con dos pequeños mosquitos dentro, y tuve que pedirle al Señor que lo cambiara (y esto lo hace ipso facto, pero con una mala cara). En resumen, en el hermoso pueblo de San Mateo hay muchos otros lugares para sentarse tranquilamente a beber si es un café o lo que sea, y no ser tratado con la tosquedad.
