Tapalavaca — Restaurant in Mogán

This tapas spot in Gran Canaria? Absolute win. The food was bursting with flavour – the prawns in garlic sauce, jamón croquettes, padrón peppers (because let’s be real, you can’t do tapas without them), and that gorgeous fresh bread had us living our best foodie life. We also tried the chorizo, which was tasty, though I’d have loved a thicker sauce. It’s not on the main strip (thank goodness), so you get to stroll right past all the restaurants where staff practically chase you down. The service here was fabulous – friendly, attentive, and never overpowering. Honestly, skip the hard sell elsewhere and head here instead – your taste buds (and your sanity)...

We had very high expectations after reading so much good about food and drinks. Its a nice spot with a nice man. And the food is OK. Nothing more-nothing less. The toast for the children was warm bread with ham and cold cheese (not melted) , the burger was good. The tapas we tried was padron, gambas and canarian potatos. The gambas was way too salty, the padron was ok and the potato was like coocked potato with a litle taste-less mojo sause that felt very oily. The sangria was tasteless with a lot of sugar in the bottom. Nice place for something to eat and drink, but nothing special. So much good...

Absolutely brilliant restaurant! Small but mighty. Had a range of Tapas style dishes and we were not disappointed on a single one. The bacon wrapped dates and eggs, fries and Iberia ham were a stand out. Spying on other tables the Tapas sharing platter also looked incredible. Can absolutely see why this new kid on the block has reached so high so fast on Tripadvisor and Google. Been coming to Maspalomas for over 20 years and in a resort of often clone copy restaurants and eateries I would recommend this cute little stand out restaurant a thousand times over. One not to miss. Long...
