Churrería Cafetería Cañon — Restaurant in Mijas

Unpleasant noisy polluted atmosphere, poor quality omelette and terrible service - reasons?

I think the original British owners have left now and it's now either owned or managed by a Chinese family although the menu remains the same.

I can't comment on all the food as I've only tried the omelette which wasn't cooked through properly and runny in the middle. The cheese and tomato were raw and not cooked through properly.

The waitress, who I think was the owner's wife, was walking around the restaurant with her loudspeaker on her phone having various conversations, pulling out the chairs which made a terrible noise across the concrete without any awareness of her surroundings or the comfort of her paying guests! Coupled with the noisy traffic, it made having a conversation with my friend almost impossible!

The whole atmosphere was stressful and not a pleasant place to relax and have a conversation.

There are much nicer other cafes available in La Cala without these factors.

When you’re surrounded by locals, you know the food must be good! For both dishes (and it was a breakfast feast) we paid €10! A great start to a fab holiday and we definitely...

Churreria Cafeteria Canon is a local institution the churros and pitufos catalan (small sandwich with serrano ham and tomatoes) opening at 7:00 AM. The pitufo Andaluz was fresh - crunchy bread, fresh tomaoto and slices of serrano ham. The coffee is okay.The service is efficient and fast Keep in mind the churros are only available from 7.30AM to 12.30PM. The best part is the outside seating with ten tables overlooking the street and the early 7.30AM start. Price was it is in line with the area; 1.40 Euros for four churros, 2.70 Euro for...
