Another menu that has gone slightly wrong, seen in Puerto del Carmen.

It should read “Tintenfischringe in Backteig” – ie. octopus rings in batter . The German word “Ausbackteig” doesn’t exist, but for me it implies something more like baking a cake than the batter mix that it is meant to be.

La Rueda II is a so-called “Tex-Mex” restaurant in the old town of Puerto del Carmen. Although located in Avenida del Varadero, the actual entrance is situated in a side street on the other side (Virgen del Carmen, on the corner of Calle Lanzarote). Here you will usually be greeted by a member of staff outside the restaurant – even if you don’t go in, children will love the lollipop!

The food is very good and one of the highlights must be the fajitas that come with the meat sizzling in an iron frying pan for you to roll up youself. This is actually one of the best value items on the menu.

The restaurant has a balcony overlooking the harbour with tables for all sizes. Closer to the edge of the balcony you can look down onto the bowling court, or just enjoy the view across the water towards Fuerteventura.

To book a table, call 928 515821.
