La Tasquita D'Ivan Plaza de España — Restaurant in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria

I visit Las Palmas regularly every year, and every year I come here to dine. In the past, I have always been with friends, but last Saturday evening I was on my own due to a tragic illness that befell the friend with whom I normally travel. I asked for a table outside as usual, not making anything of it, mentioning it was for me only: without even looking at me the waitress irritatedly said I could not sit outside as I was on my own and pointed to the inside instead.

Food was not good, chopito was soggy and The cheese were like water, ceasar salad was full of mayo and lettuce wasnt washed properly, it tasted Bad, chicken was also dry. Canarian potatos were 5boiled potatoes with litle sauce that costed 6.5€. were expensive place for mirroring the quality of food, for example at The beach you can buy tasteful food for much less. Prices here are 50% More than other restaurants and i don't understand why. Some Guy also came and played quitar and The came Ask for money and didn't leave untill getting one euro, i was eating and restaurant owner or staff didn't...
