Tasca La Picadita — Restaurant in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria

Absolute horror… we were looking for some lunch and came across this restaurant with good ratings, so we decided to sit down. Wrong choice…

Everything tastes like fish… it’s like they fry everything in fish oil or something.

Most of the dishes we had were WAY too salty. The croquetas were made with FISH & ham??? On the menu you couldn’t even see it was made with fish!

The waiter asked if we wanted some bread with aioli, and we said yes. They gave us 5 bread and some aioli (too less for 5 portions of bread). I know you have to pay for some starter breads, but they charged €1,40 PER bread… just a casual bread roll you can get for €0,20 in a supermarket.

After some time we got our food, but they forgot a whole dish. So they needed to make it. The food arrived when the other dishes were finished. The waiter did apologize for that.

When we asked for the bill we didn’t even get a discount for the inconvenience and we saw we had to pay €7 for some bread.

Definitely...

WARNING - this restaurant charged us for the rolls at $2.50 and then charged us $.70 for ketchup.

We feel they did this because they made a mistake and brought two of the same order when we only ordered one and this is their way to try and get even.

Quite a shock when you look at your bill after you leave and you see that they nickel and dime for stupid things like ketchup and rolls

To make this even more aggravating as they charge us on the bill for their tip, not that we had a choice and then not realizing it because almost none of the restaurants over here ever do that. We then left them a tip on the table.

So very Larry of your Bill at this restaurant.

Other than the bill, the food was good and the...

UPDATED 2025 Staff is amazing the location is nice and easy to reach. We Finally had luck and went on kitchen opening time food is ok, season is not strong but is fresh, we would have appreciated a bigger portion sauce to it. The sauces are really good!! We tried alomo Uruguayo, gambas al ajillo, croquetas misxtas and empanadas, from what we tried actually I liked the most the empanadas.

2024 Very friendly staff and lovely plaza in the middle of the city, sadly we came always when the kitchen was closed so we had only drinks which they poured very generously. That was fun and we will come back, next time when the...
