Great fresh food full of flavour
Overall rating
 
4.8
El Mentidero is a small friendly cafe with great food tucked away in a side street. I tried the Baguette de Magica Tindaya which was incredible, a fresh baguette lightly toasted filled with goat cheese, tomato with a dash of olive oil and oregano. It's amazing how something so simple can taste so good. The cortado's were well above average and certainly the best so far that I have had in El Cotillo if not Fuerteventura. They take cash only fortunately we had ten Euros in cash which is what lunch for two cost, great value! Give this place a go if you're in El Cotillo, you won't be disappointed as long as they're open.
