Restaurante Los Caracolitos

Beautiful place, what a setting, so peaceful, we visited several times in Feb 2024, we mainly had snacks and drinks, but nothing disappointed. So much so, we have booked to go in march 2025, largely to visit here again. Simply magical. Fresh good food, with unbeatable views.

Whilst visiting the beach, we popped into Los Carocolitos for a bite to eat. Charming restaurant, where we were warmly greeted. We ordered some drinks, as well as the cheese with tomato, bread with alioli & mojo sauce & oil, a lemon & chocolate mousse. Lovely food & terrific service.

Great fish menu. Lovely place. Good prices too.

We love a late afternoon lunch at Los Caracolitos. The staff are wonderful and put up with my lack of Spanish very patiently. Food is what I imagine a Canarian Mum cooks. It's very tasty and plenty of choice. Very popular with Spanish people which I think is a great endorsement. The sea view is charming. Restaurant is Cash only but staff always remind you of that before ordering. We look forward to visiting again in April.

We found this lovely family restaurant on Google Maps. Let me say this, they are some of the nicest people I have ever encountered in any line of work. You almost feel like being served by a family member in their own home. On the first visit, we ordered the Garlic Prawns and the Paella with Shellfish. Both were excellent. Be sure to order the bread for the table so you scoop up the oil and garlic from the prawns. The sangria is very good and packs a punch! The second visit I had the grilled white fish and it was cooked to perfection. It was the best fish I had ever eaten and I have been to Italy, Greece and Malta. They take cash only, so be sure to bring it. It is worth it. My wife & I paid the bill and as we went outside, the owner came out and thanked me for visiting. I have never had anyone due that to me. That makes you feel valued and appreciated!

Have eaten here in the past and was looking forward to a return visit, despite Google indicating for a couple of weeks beforehand that it was closed temporarily, as there were new reviews. Think that recent reviews might have confused this place with somewhere else as when we arrived we saw this:

We dined here twice during our holiday. The first night we started with some Canarian potatoes and fried cheese which was a perfect light bite. We then had a lovely seafood Paella which was too big for the two of us to finish. The second day we went during lunch hours it was even nicer! Do not be fooled by the photo of the humble chips. They are some of the best I have ever eaten. Freshly cut in house. They're fresh grilled fish was amazing and full of flavour. The Canarian potatoes were on point again and the salad was nice and sweet which complimented the saltiness of the potatoes and fish quite well. It is family run and you can really tell when you walk in. It is a must for seafood in Caleta. All staff are fantastic and very helpful. The prices are also very good and the location is exquisite. A visit to the salt museum followed by lunch would be a great few hours on your holiday.

Nice authentic restaurant, walkable from the main town/ hotel complex or a short taxi ride or drive. Came for lunch and had great Canarian wine, local fish with garlic, sizzling prawns and fried potatoes (home made chips).
