"During our winter stay on the island of Gran Canaria we stayed four times in the bar restaurant Casa Antonio, located in Santa Lucia de Tirajana. In the village there are three other restaurants but, we always opted for Casa Antonio because it is the safest as unlike the others it has a good level of hygiene. The structure of the restaurant is characteristic as it is obtained from an old Canarian house. The interiors are decorated in a traditional but elegant way, the bathrooms are quite large and above all clean. It has a small terrace that unfortunately is not very enjoyable because it faces directly on the road and cars pass too close at high speed. The menu is rather trivial, you eat the same things you can eat in any other traditional restaurant on the island. The quality of the elements is certainly not excellent, the wine list is a bit poor with not exactly cheap prices. The Service, considering that all four times we have been to Casa Antonio the restaurant was half empty, was entrusted to a boy of about 40 years, kind but not overly nice and uncommunicative, his presence does not contribute to creating a relaxing atmosphere. In my opinion, given that the place is almost always empty and tendentially sad, it would be appropriate for the service to be entrusted to a more cheerful, dynamic, engaging person, probably a female figure would be more appropriate. Practically once the meal has been eaten, all that remains is to remain seated at the table in silence. It 's a real pity because the place is suitable for continuing the evening by drinking some spirits, for example, listening to good music and perhaps socializing with the other customers who are missing in this case. I rate the experience in Casa Antonio with two stars because, despite being the best restaurant in the town of Santa Lucia, it offers an extremely boring atmosphere."

"If you like asian food then you will love this place. A big selection of different foods and amazing staff. Overall, the best experience in Gran Canaria. I am already missing their delicious food! I tried everything there is at the buffet and everything I tasted was good. At times it was hard to choose what to take because it is delicious. I wanted to mention that I am a picky eater, but here I ate everything. BIG, BIG THANKS TO THE STAFF, so friendly and welcoming!"

"We stopped here whilst driving down the GC-60 (which is a very scenic route and well worth a drive! Plenty of parking outside, Great views from the restaurant and option of indoor or outdoor seating with parasols. Good variety of food although no sign of a kids menu. For the three of us we opted for two simple dishes for a light lunch. A hamburger and chips and a grilled chicken breast with salad and chips. The chicken breast dish was plenty enough for me to share with our six year old as a full size would of been too much. Both dishes were delicious. Total bill for both dishes and three non alcoholic drinks was €23 which we thought was great value for money. Staff were very friendly and toilets were clean. Would visit again when returning to Gran Canaria."

"Amabilidad y simpatía a raudales. Comida casera a un precio económico, muy buena la carne de cabra (machora), y un espectáculo de postres caseros. Subimos desde Maspalomas para comer allí y ver la zona...100% recomendable."

"This was a place we had previously seen as recommended and it looked like an interesting place beneath the rock formation of the same name.. Long story short the food wasn't great and the service was pretty poor we kept having to ask for things like salt. The staff were nice people but.. My partner did not mind her fried squid though I found it very firm both our chips were anaemic and were greasy.. My big disappointment was the flamenco eggs which looked nothing like the picture on the menu and consisted of two overlooked eggs on top of a bed of tinned sweet corn, peas and carrot. Very disappointed"
