Aloha Hamburger Bar — Restaurant in San Bartolomé de Tirajana

Alright, not gonna lie, at first I was a bit reluctant to eat a burger during my week on gran canaria. I usually try to stick as much as I can to small local restaurants that are away from the touristy places. But it was the 1st of January and very little was open.

And boy am I glad I had that burger. I had the Viva la Vida with the Parmesan fries as a side. The food was served 20mins after we placed the order and I was not disappointed! Is it the best burger you'll ever have? Not likely, but it is definitely a top contender. Partly because of the quality/price rapport. I mean 8.5€ for that burger? That's half the price of what it would be in Sweden. And the looks! That burger had crispy fresh lettuce and tomatoes. It was well stacked and full of delicious ingredients and sauce (but without being towering or overwhelmingly big). And each bite was just a pleasure. The fried were nice and fried to a T and adequately salted.

I was famished before my meal and couldn't quite finish all my fries so it was a generous portion (both the burger and fries).

I did not expect this and was therefore positively surprised. If you do decide that you one day do want a burger on Gran Canaria, there may be many places to chose from but you won't go wrong at this place. Simple, affordable and...

We visited here twice during our week stay in Gran Canaria and we agree that Aloha do what are probably the best burgers in the world!! It's fantastic here, the staff are brilliant but what stands out and the variety of burgers and the combinations on each one and the best thing is if you are vegetarian like my girlfriend you can still choose any burger but they substitute the meat patty for a Linda McCartney burger hence you're not just stuck having the ONLY vegetarian burger option, if only all restaurants were that forward thinking. So we'll done Aloha for thinking outside of the box :) The prices are also very good, most burgers were around only €8, so that was dam good value for money. The fries as well are made fresh daiky in their kitchen so you're not given any pre-frozen chips they are actually made fresh and the taste shows that. Also each night we were given free shots that were homemade, one was a passion fruit shot and the second was some kind of lemon shot and both were very tasty. We both know where we will eat the first night of our next stay in Gran Canaria and...

El peor timo desde Fórum Filatélico.

Hamburguesería que en 4 años (al menos) no ha cambiado la carta y ha subido el precio de sus hamburguesas un 75%. No sé cómo serían antes pero, a 1/11/24, 15€ no vale lo que dice la carta y realmente luego te sirven.

Promocionan un producto (burger de carne de Vara del Rey) que se aleja mucho de la hamburguesa industrial de supermercado que finalmente nos sirvieron.

Pero no me quedo solamente en la carne. El trato, para empezar, deja mucho que desear. A un comensal sin apetito, se le negó de malas maneras el poder pedir una hamburguesa infantil (a las 22h), sin razón alguna. Continúo.

En la burger del mes (9,90€ en la carta que nos entrega el afable camarero [sarcasmo ON]), ofrecen un pan brioche francés que resultó ser un pan de sésamo descongelado, tostado y rancio. Al comunicar el malentendido al camarero, nos espeta que es un fallo de la carta y continúa excusándose con una historia fantasiosa pasando el testigo y culpa a la persona encargada de imprimir dichas cartas (no sé... una errata puede ser dejarte una tilde o una H en alguna palabra, pero no un cambio tan significativo como el pan de una hamburguesa [y a peor]). Decidimos aceptar el cambiazo. Craso error. Al cortar la burger por la mitad, salta a la vista de inmediato por qué al pedir la comanda, no nos preguntaron el punto al que queríamos la carne. Carne muy hecha, pasada, pero mantiene ese color rosaceo-flamenco distintivo de las hamburguesas típicas de pavo-pollo del súper. Tal fue el desagrado del color y el sabor, que varios decidimos sacar el disco de carne y comernos el resto. Desagradable. Nuevamente, el error fue nuestro de no habérselo reprochado al responable, habernos levantado de la mesa y haber abandonado el local.

Tras intentar saciar nuestra pena con unas patatas fritas que tuvimos que pedir aparte (EL PRECIO DE LA HAMBURGUESA NO INCLUYE LAS PATATAS), pedimos la cuenta y, para nuestra sorpresa, nos cobraron la burger del mes (9,90€ en la carta, recordad) a ¡¡14,90€!! Hasta aquí llegamos y pedimos una explicación. De nuevo, el mismo camarero se sintió ofendido por "un error de imprenta" del cual no fue consciente al entregarnos las cartas a todos. Finalmente, accedió a descontarnos el cobro extra de 3 burgers del mes que intentó colarnos. Local 0...
