Casa Carmelo

It's a tiny restaurant. It is really a bar with a few tables, quite close among them. It is full with locals that are always ready to repeat. So don't expect to be in a quite restaurant. Of course the secrets of the success are the food, the cooking and the price. Besides of fried squids and the fantastic octopus sided with the local sauce mojo, we tried also tuna cooked at the oven. Unforgettable!

Small bar (about 5 small tables) not far from the shopping mall close to the auditorium, and also close to the beach on the south side of Las Canteras. You can easily park your car in the shopping mall center, and you have 3 free hours. Local folks start arriving at 8.30 pm, and it fills up very quickly (don 't expect a free table after 9 pm, but then, you can eat at the bar). The bar is specialized in squids (chipirones, calamares) and spanish tacos and tapas. The grilled chipirones (small calamars) a la plancha were excellent same for the calamares fritos; cabra (goat meat) was also very good. We also tried another evening pescado escabeche (fish with onion, garlic,..sauce), and fish cake (croquetas de pescado) along with papas arrugadas (canarian way to cook potatoes in salty water), and it was delicious. Your hunger and thirst will be nicely satisfied for about 25€ for 2 persons

Tourists... Don't go there. After being closed for months ,this little place reopened with a cunning idea, rob tourists out of their money and don't care about the locals. The octopus is overpriced at 10 euro for a portion, since it consists of deep fried little octopus served over steamed potatoes. For that price, in Las Palmas, you usually get a plate full of steamed Galician octopus. The little squid was also overpriced at 9 euro, because it was a small plate if 8 pieces of little squid , with chips and tomatoes to fill up the plate . 34 euro for a lunch in 2 people is way to much for this sort of restaurants in Gran Canaria

Muy buenos ingredientes y muy buena relacion calidad precio. Platos obligatorios el pulpo frito y calamares fritos. Terraza con vistas al mar cerca de la avenida. Muy recomendable por la zona de la cicer.

Comida espectacular. El pulpo lo mejor que comí en mucho tiempo
