Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We looked up this restaurant literally from the airport when we landed and liked the menus and reviews but had to wait a few days before we could go. We tried to book on line but didn’t go through in time so just went along to see if they could fit us in knowing there were plenty of other options nearby if they couldn’t. They were all so very welcoming when we arrived and despite being very busy they managed to fit us in. Both Almu and Irena were totally outstanding with their service and knowledge giving great recommendations. They went the extra mile to borrow a bottle of a particular drink my son wanted from a neighbouring restaurant. The food was utterly divine- especially the Cod with ratatouille which we all agreed was to die for. Everything tasted fresh and so flavoursome and was great value for money. We literally could not recommend this restaurant highly enough- it was an overall amazing experience from start to finish. Thank you all so very much!

We’ve been fortunate enough to be visiting for some years, but this our first time in the new location. This is a superb local restaurant - wonderful welcoming staff, the food is exceptional and excellent value. We visited twice in one week. One night they were let down by someone booking a table for 6 and not turning up which has a massive impact on such a local business. They’d turned down bookings for this table who couldn’t be bothered to arrive nor the courtesy to let them know the table could be released. Fortunately the restaurant filled quickly with others looking for a wonderful supper. Definitely book. Irena and the team are the best - the restaurant beautifully decorated with lots of interesting and quirky items. Wonderful atmosphere. The food is locally sourced and prepared on site, the pork cheeks, the vitello tonnato, smoked salmon, delicious salads, smoked meats and fish - all of the highest quality. We sat next to a young family whose children, maybe 3 and 5 loved the food, wholesome and fresh. The team welcomed them and the kids loved them. Whilst in matagorda shopping centre, and slightly out of PdC, it’s only a few euros in a taxi and easily accessible. Don’t miss this place, don’t worry about calling them they speak excellent English and other languages.

The food is beautiful and everything absolutely delicious. If you want traditional tapas in a warm friendly environment you cannot miss this place from your trip to Lanzarote. It’s more expensive than some other places but worth every euro for the quality! It has moved location to MATAGORDA - we paid €6 from Puerto del carmen which was worth it - you can walk there it would have taken about 50 minutes along the sea which we will do next time.

Carmencita has changed the location but for me it has gained in every sense: more spacious room, more attractive furnishings, more refined menu; you don't go there just for the tapas but you have a whole series of extra menu options that she, sitting next to you, explains to you but doesn't impose on you. If you want his famous tapas get the tapas! But last night I made myself a stellar pork fillet preceded by a delicious bruschetta of Cantabrian anchovies. If you're still hungry... ask for some desserts

Whilst this isnt the best tapas weve had in Matagorda we did enjoy the experience and the service was fast, funny and efficient. You have to book as its a small restaurant and very busy. We were given olives, small biscuits and cheese whilst we chose our tapas. They have a small menu and there was lots of advice. I had an Aperol Spritz and my husband had a Bramble cocktail, both well made, we also had a glass of house white wine each which was very good To eat we chose the Cod which came in a pepper and tomato sauce, it was delicious and our second choice of tapas was rabbit which was so tasty. The dishes are designed to be shared and though they do not look huge portions, we were too full to choose another or to eat a sweet. The restaurant is quirky and I felt like I was sat in a 1920s French parlour, the music was cool vibes, jazz etc, the only thing I didnt like was the fact the restaurant is located at the back of the commercial centre at the top and the area on the way through looks a bit shabby but thats because the commercial centre looks tired and old and not the restaurants fault. A nice touch was that the bill came with a shot of spanish dessert wine and a square of good quality dark chocolate and almond. This was a nice evening out but we had to eat at 6.30 in order to get a table and had to vacate the table at 8.30 for the next customers. It was a nice experience but I dont think we will go back for the simple reason we dont like the location and the rushed atmosphere, we like to eat later and more leisurely.

Very relaxed atmosphere, I would say to order 3/4 small plates to share, they come out nice and spaced apart so you can relax and have a chat and enjoy your wine or cocktails, the staff are all really nice and welcoming. They all work really hard to ensure things run smoothly. We would 100% return. The muscles were my fave dish. Just be mindful there is no kids menu but that didn’t matter to us. Oh and you need to book! It’s very popular! I’ve added some pictures

Very nice place in the center of Tias. Very kind and helpful staff, nice dishes and very good. To see it this way seemed a common tourist place, instead the courtesy of the staff, the intimate environment and the delicious dishes have pleasantly impressed us making us absolutely change our minds. Really recommended!

We have just returned from Puerto del Carmen, it was a special week celebrating my husband's 60th birthday. On Friday we ate here, the restaurant is in Matagorda we caught the bus from PDC far cheaper than a taxi. it was a fabulous experience from start to finish, we received a very warm welcome and were guided through the menu with such care and knowledge. 6 of us ate and we all chose a different dish, every single one was bursting with flavour. The staff were a delight, the atmosphere in the restaurant was lovely and it was an evening to remember we would not hesitate to return.

This restaurant has moved down to Matagorda and it is well worth the 5 euro taxi fare from the casino in Puerto. We’ve visited this restaurant many times and it never disappoints. Having said that we have never actually chosen our food. We always let Irene chose it for us. Definitely the best tapas restaurant in the area. We will be back.

An amazing experience from start to finish. I travelled with my 2 daughters, one of whom is a foodie, and another not so much! Sangria was the nicest i have had. We ordered chorizo, meatballs, mussels and rabbit. My very finicky 9 year old who would live on chicken nuggets forever, tried everything, mussels was like she was doing her own eating challenge on I'm a celeb! Waiter apologised for lack of kids menu, I said do not apologise I knew before I made reservation, also knew she wouldn't try anything if there was chicken nuggets. A truly wonderful meal, that all 3 of us will remember forever, food, drinks, ambience, everything was amazing.

La Carmencita del Puerto, superb Just back from a week in Lanza and I've got to say La Carmencita del Puerto in CC Matagorda was the standout place for us, so much so we ate there twice in a week. Nothing was too much trouble and the food was superb. The staff explained the menu and that all dishes are sharing plates, even showing dishes others had ordered to give you an idea. Over the two visits we had Smoked salmon, pork tenderloin, meatballs, codfish, pork fillet, rabbit chocolate brownie, bienmesabe, cocktails and cava. Both meals were around €100 for the two of us, which we though was good value for what we had. The photos don't do it justice. And I cant help but mention that their toilets are the best we've seen.

Treatment by the waitresses exceptional, very rich food, we ordered meatballs, chicken and tenderloin. We were with a 4-year-old and he loved meatballs. Cozy place I recommend it 100%. With the bill they brought some shots and the boy some Haribo bears.

Excellent service and food. Fully recommended, both the service lor part of all waitresses and Alvaro. At the same time we were served tourist tips on the island appropriate to our tastes. We ordered pork tenderloin, tabule salad and chicken toast for two along with dessert is perfect as advised. If we were in the Isla would definitely come back.

No, this is not a normal Spanish tapas restaurant. The menu is quite short, but adorned with pearls and gemstones of Mediterranean and Spanish cuisine. My clear favorite (must always be with me): The hummus. Just great. Then you order two or three more dishes for two, which you will of course be served to share. This is something to be prepared for: Everything that comes to the table is shared. Otherwise you run the risk of simply missing a very special dish that the companion has ordered. And that would be a shame. There are appetizers, (small) main courses, and toasts. The starters and the toast can be swapped as you like. It may also be that the kitchen changes the sequence of roes. That's not bad, or accidental. Someone is thinking about how the dishes that the guest has ordered are best suited to each other. And so they come to the table. We've never been disappointed. And we were there a lot.:-) Since moving to the new location in Matagorde, the food has been as good as ever, the cocktails have been added. They maintain the level we are used to from food. Carmencita is also a clear Recommendation for special days. Discuss what you want beforehand and maybe let yourself be surprised. It's worth it! Just walking by like that can go wrong. Better to make a Reservation via Facebook (Messenger). Then the table is safe.

Although located in a shopping centre, and a taxi ride from PDC, we were so glad we experienced this restaurant. Everything about it spoke of people running it who care deeply about the dining experience. We hit a winner straight up when we ordered the 'Serico' red wine which was way out of the ordinary and great value. Encouraged by other reviews I had the pork cheek dish which was gorgeous. This restaurant fully deserves the glowing TA reviews.
