Restaurante La Puntilla Casa Menso — Restaurant in Pájara

We tried to eat at this restaurant but after waiting 10min for someone to come and take us to a table, we decided to seat at one of the free tables, and what we got was a very rude “who told you you could seat” (important to mention it was peak of day - very warm and we have 2 kids) then we asked for a free table and a very rude men said that was the only free table for 6 people . When we finally could seat, this man kept insisting that if the “owner” was here he wouldn’t let us seat at that table because we were 4 adults and 2 kids (one of them is under 2 years) and “the owner” would insist in getting 3 tables Then he kept rambling that if we sat there we would pick a fight with the table next to us because we would be touching elbows (that was not the case) ….

Worst place we went to in Fuerteventura.

The service was slow, the staff could see we were waiting and didn’t say anything. Eventually we asked when the main meals to be served - unclear why we needed to ask for the food to start being cooked. The paella took over 1 hour to be ready, by which time the half of the table that was waiting had lost their appetite. We said we are leaving and they did remove paella from the final bill. Very patronising staff saying paella takes at least 45 minutes, which even if it did, over an hour is still a long time for any meal.

The restaurant wasn’t particularly busy when we arrived too.

We also asked for a salad with only vegetables, which came with half an egg…

In fairness, the other food that did come tasted okay, but we wasted a large portion of our day sitting and waiting here, rather than exploring the area and enjoying...
