Restaurante Grill Fataga — Restaurant in San Bartolomé de Tirajana

This was a lunch stop on an excursion. We were given the choice of a set menu for 12€. Options were chicken, pizza or vegetarian pasta. The orders were phoned in ahead. On arrival we were greeted straight away, shown to shared tables for the group, and food came shortly after.

Each table had a jug of Sangria and a bottle of water, which was replaced immediately when empty.

First course was carrot and coriander soup, with fresh rolls on the table.

My partner ordered chicken, which he didn't enjoy. To be honest it didn't look appetising! It lacked flavour and was stringy. Like it was in a warmer for a while. Canadian style potatoes and cold pickled vegetables.

I had pizza which was cheese, a very thin crispy base, extremely floury underneath, and way to much for one person. It was HOT in temperature. Most of us left half to a quarter. I thought mine had a salty taste to it, but still OK.

I can't comment on the pasta as I never saw anyone having it, nor heard feedback.

The Apricot mousse, if that's what you could call it was dry, quite solid, and a terrible texture. Our table of six, left theirs. Partner described it as 'claggy'

The service was impeccable, the staff ever so accommodating and pleasant.

This restaurant may be better for smaller groups or individual tables as to opposed to feeding 40+ people, warm meals all at once hence 3 stars.

A few people choose to order a large carte.

We visited this lovely restaurant while we were on a jeep safari trip through the local area. The meal was included as part of the package so I can't comment on price. We had a set meal of chicken with salad and canarian potatoes with a local mojo sauce. There was homemade bread and a garlic dip and a choice of water or sangria to drink. Cerveza, bottled beers and canned drinks were available for a small charge. We were then served cheesecake for desert. I really enjoyed the meal and the surroundings. I probably wouldn't have visited this place if it wasn't included on the tour simply because it is off the beaten track. I would strongly recommend this restaurant to anyone who wants to try local fayre in the Canaries. The food was lovely and the staff were...

Lamentablemente, la visita a este restaurante dejó una muy mala impresión. Desde el principio, el personal no fue capaz de realizar correctamente un pedido sencillo: aunque señalé claramente con el dedo la cerveza que quería, me trajeron una completamente diferente.

Un restaurante que se especializa en platos a la parrilla debería saber preparar un filete según lo solicitado. Sin embargo, el primer filete estaba duro y demasiado hecho, y cuando pedí que lo cambiaran, me trajeron uno crudo en lugar de término medio. Además, todo fue servido en un plato donde previamente habían dejado papas fritas y arroz, los cuales ya estaban fríos antes de que corrigieran mi pedido. Al final, dejé el filete intacto porque todo era inaceptable.

Los pinchos también fueron decepcionantes: el pollo estaba crudo en algunas partes, la carne de cerdo era dura y los calamares eran mediocres. Las salsas tenían un sabor artificial, como si fueran productos envasados. En las mesas faltaban condimentos y aceite, algo que debería ser estándar en este tipo de cocina. Para colmo, ni siquiera trajeron vasos para la cerveza, y cada vez que algo faltaba, tuve que acercarme personalmente al personal.

Lo único positivo fueron las gambas al ajillo, que realmente estaban buenas. Sin embargo, un plato bien logrado no puede compensar todas las demás decepciones.

En resumen, el nivel de atención y la preparación de los platos en este restaurante requieren una mejora urgente. Por el momento, no...
