When visiting the Canary Islands, you have to try their #mojo sauces. Both #mojoverde and #mojorojo are wonderful, each on their own way and each place has their own version of these sauces. Well here the mojo rojo was amazing!! It is based on ñora peppers, oil and garlic and in this case was quite thick and had a smoky flavor, a perfect accompaniment to the rustic style bread they serve. The mojo is priced at 2,20€ and the bread at 0,90€ per piece. This spot is recommended for its underground location, wonderful wine and delicious selection of vegan dishes. See my other reviews of those dishes for more info! #lapalma #lapalmavegan #vegansfromcanaryislands #sinoesveganonoescomida #ifitsnotveganitsnotfood

Mojo Rojo

When visiting #lapalma, I recommend you try the #malvasia aromática seco wine - it is the one of two places left in the world with this variety of grape from century-old vines, as the rest of earth has had to regraft old vine roots with new American vines due to the filoxera plague that has destroyed many historic vineyards. Due to their geographic separation, the Canary Islands have been free from the plague but for the first time in history it has recently been detected in neigboring Tenerife island. So now is the time to taste this wine!! It is a dry wine but with a floral bouquet that is very pleasing. It is smooth and has notes of citrus, pear and almost buttery. It is considered one of the best quality-price ratios around, priced at 21€ for the bottle. This underground restaurant offers full bar and meal service, see my other reviews for details. #lapalmavegan #vegansfromcanaryislands #sinoesveganonoescomida #ifitsnotveganitsnotfood

#pimientosdepadron is one of the standard #vegan dishes that you can find year-round in almost any Spanish restaurant on the Canary Islands. They are small, meaty and delicious green peppers flash fried and sprinkled with #seasalt. We ordered them as an appetizer to split between two, priced at 6,50€ for a good sized portion. Though if I come back, I'll skip them and focus on the other dishes I've reviewed here. This spot is highly recommended, set in a cave belonging to the #tamanca #winery whose wine making operation is right next door, and overhead on the land cultivating the grapes. The service is organized like a swiss watch while being friendly. Beware that this is a no-reservations locale, it is on a first come, first served basis with a number system. We called ahead of time and were told that traffic was light, we probably waited about 20 minutes for a table. But you can order wine and appetizers while waiting, so we didn't mind at all! 😜 #lapalmavegan #lapalma #vegansfromcanaryislands #sinoesveganonoescomida #ifitsnotveganitsnotfood #firstdishreview

Pimientos De Padrón

This #rice with #vegetables was our main dish, and though had some of the same veg as our other dishes, had a unique blend of spices. A medley of roasted #redpepper, #carrot, #celery and #zucchini accompanied a perfectly al dente rice that was obviously made to order. Though it was listed at 9,50€ on the menu, we were charged 17€ total for two servings.

Arroz Con Verduras

Wow this dish was a surprise entry into our meal - we were assured there were no animal products in it and it was the best dish of an amazing experience. Wonderfully spiced #garbanzos or #chickpeas along with a slew of roasted veggies like #carrot, #greenpeppers, #redpepper, #zucchini and huge chunks of #celery. We identified #cumin and #paprika spices but the flavor profile was much more well-rounded with even a hint of spicy heat. The chick peas were cooked to perfection, so tender and pleasing to the bite. I would go back to order this dish as my entreé, we split it between two as an appetizer. I loved the retro aspect of the bowl it was served it! Reasonably priced at 8,50€. And just look at this locale!! It is underground and right next to the #tamanca #winery operation. The décor is rustic and literally below the same ground where the grapes are cultivated. But be warned, this is a no reservations spot - it is first come, first served with a number system. However, you can order wine and appetizers while you wait. 😁 #firstrestaurantreview #firstdishreview #lapalmavegan #lapalma #vegansfromcanaryislands #chickpealover #sinoesveganonoescomida #ifitsnotveganitsnotfood
