La Miñoca Cafe del Charco — Restaurant in Arrecife

Would avoid if you are vegan!

Their menu is misleading as the vegan nachos and vegan chicken burger are not vegan when ordered off the menu as they are. Although titled as vegan you have to ask for the nachos to come with no cheese and the burger with no mayo, which I did.

Unfortunately, they served me the beef nachos with no cheese instead of the vegan ones. I tried it as I wasn't sure what the vegan ones should look like and to my horror I realised it was animal meat. No meat has passed my lips for 20 years so I was obviously distressed by this, however, I do appreciate mistakes happen and there are bigger problems going on in the world. I alerted a server to which he confirmed it was beef and he took it away. No apology or offer to take this item off our bill given their mistake. He brought out the correct vegan nachos and they were fine but nothing to write home about.

Moving on to the vegan chicken burger, when it arrived I really was put off eating anything after the beef incident but since it had been ordered I gave it a go. It tasted and looked like it was in an egg brioche bun (again not vegan friendly) and so for me was a no go. It did taste like vegan chicken and my server when asked did tell me that he double checked and it definitely was vegetarian this time. I really appreciated that he did this.

They really need to look at their menu and change the labels of 'Vegan' when the item really is not vegan. Vegetarian would be more appropriate for...

Always very attemptive with service and a big smile that all ways helps. All local costumers makes it special for persons who want to mix up with native of the island. Great selection of beers to chose from, only problem is the bathroom that doesn't have an access for disable persons. Also the bar doesn't have a wheel chair ramp, but I'm sure the staff will go the extra mile to accommodate any inconveniences...

overrated tourist trap. my food & beer was taken away mid eating because place was full and they were focusing bigger companies drinking wine/cocktails. thus forcing me to leave. food was bland/mediocre, coffee worst. no English speaking. was given a menu card then was told one side is not available at all. I had to go and pay by myself while overheard "he gets it now". this is basically a long opening hours (2AM) loud pub. busiest place though around the nice and...
