"Excellent restaurant right on the beach - I had to go on the sand to get to the table. Food is brilliant. Fresh fish which was different each visit. Staff are so friendly and helpful - I met Eva (?) on Monday evening who made the evening great and friendly. They are genuinely nice people. I went back and would recommend to anyone."

"Right on the beach, this is a fabulous stop off for a bite and a drink. They have a canopy covering most of the tables, but a table on the edge of the seating area gets full sun. Lovely music and just a great atmosphere. The food is tremendous, I ate the sardines a few times, €15 for a good plate full."
David Jamieson
"I make sure to visit this spot every year while on vacation in playa de ingles....sometimes just for beers/cocktails and snacks. Great location in the sand with friendly staff and perfect views. Yes, sometimes there is a wait to sit or even for the food, but well worth it...enjoy the location and a beer or two. Try the potatoes canarian, small green peppers, garlic shrimp or the pizza. There is a small bathroom as well."

Restaurants with terrace in Las Palmas and Gran Canaria
The Mao Mao beach is more of a beach bar, although it has a gastronomic offer that has nothing to envy of other restaurants. The Galician-style octopus and the veal turns are to die for. It is located on the front line of the Las Burras beach.
