we have a second home in lanzarote and have been visiting this restaurant for over 15 years, however, i wont be going back again. the usually pleasant restaurant was lack lustre and empty (in two weeks we never saw more than 3 tables busy) and i understand why. the food was tough (we had fillet steak and lamb chops, the chops were frozen and charred), the orders were wrong, and the vegatables were canned! it was very diappointing all round. the restaurant redeemed itsself a little by not charging us for one of the main courses, but this was all arranged by the lovely waitress who tried to help and was as polite and friendly throughout. The owner, the same for as long as i can remember, just remained sitting on the table at the back reading a magazine, never offered a word.
we did try a second time to get one of their 'famous ponderosa spit chickens' one night, but again, we found no spit, instead pain 8 euros for a dry, roasted chicken that was so tough it appeared like it was reheated having been cooked earlier.
this was once our favourite restaurant and we used to frequent it at least 4-5 times in a two week visit, i doubt we will do so again.
