Compared to the other cafes does not look that inviting but the staff are friendly. We had homemade tapas. The owner took the time to explain what each was. We tried around 5 different types and they were very tasty. Will definitely go back next time I'm in EL Médano for a lunch.

We were holidaying just outside of El Medano and walked in with some friends. We stopped in here for a beer and to admire the ocean etc. The beach is literally on the doorstep and was busy. Wear suncream as it is exposed. Very nice , hospitable people who run the place.

Cafeteria Zumeria is a great place to stop off for food or drinks when you are in El Medano. Very friendly staff and very helpful. Food is very nice too and reasonably priced. Well worth a visit. Great views from the Cafeteria over El Medano bay. And Red Rock to the left of the beach. You will not be disappointed.
