Super kind and friendly service in this authentic tapas spot right across the street from the main beach. It seemed to be family owned and operated, everything was cooked to order and they had some very local dishes, ingredients, and even mallorqui vermouth. We highly enjoyed our evening tapas, with our favorites being the amazing fried calamari, the chipirones. Even the home made burger came in a cute local bun.

A fabulous and authentic Spanish restaurant. Amazing tapas, best burgers on the island (according to my teenagers) and gorgeous salads. Try the land and sea … delicious. John and the family are fabulous hosts and make you feel really welcome.

Avoid the more touristy restaurants along the street and come here - fantastic authentic food, very friendly local owners, and it has great views over the beach. We visited several times during our stay.

The most delicious food we've had in Santa Ponca! This is a beautiful little gem that you'd be gutted to miss out on. The owners are great and helped us to choose the right amount of dishes and recommended some choices when we were stuck on what to go for. It was so quiet when we went, which is a shame (although lucky for us!), although it did start to get busier once we were eating. We will 100% be back before the end of our holiday. If you're looking for traditional, flavourful Spanish cuisine... you've got to try this place!

Very good and typical Spanish food ! The chef and his wife will coke for you all the Spanish meals that you need to get a real local experience. Tapas/paëlla/Bellota and tortilla are excellent ! The atmosphere is local and warm inside. You have to discover.

Super lovely restaurant! The food was heaven in every bite. I really recommend the jamón croquetas, so tasty! The waitress was lovely and the views of the beach were divine at sunset. Overall, I can’t recommend this place more.

Lovely little place, although does not look like much from outside the food certainly did not disappoint. One of the best places in the area and great value for money. Will definitely go back.

Had the best tortilla española, it was like having an excellent home made meal. We also ordered croquetas, fried squid and hamburgers and everything was delicious. Sad we found it our last night.
