Azúcar de Cuba

Uno de los chiringuitos playeros que encontrarás en la Playa de la Costilla, a la altura de Virgen del Mar. No esperes sorpresas en cuanto a la comida, ya que encontrarás lo «típico»: pescaíto frito, espetos de sardinas, algunas carnes, etc.
Como todos los chiringuitos de por aquí, los precios están algo subidos y la calidad no es excelente, pero el sitio está bien si lo que quieres es comer junto a la playa y con bonitas vistas.
Personalmente, me atrae más la oferta de copeteo nocturno o al atardecer, ya que desde aquí tendrás una estupendas vistas de la puesta de sol.

Okay, so again. we are intrigued. Came in with a fairly large group for lunch and honestly, I think that’s why I’m rating the way I am.
Food: we did tapas. Anything that had to be cooked fresh (garlic shrimp, for example) was good. Anything that appeared to be pre-​made (meat pie, for example) was not.
Some people at our table ordered the entrees; they did look tasty.
Drinks: charged 16E at the bar for a pitcher of ho-​hum sangria; menu said 13E. Previously given advice to check menu before paying for anything noted and will be applied in the future.
Service: surly, but honestly, I think it may have been the sheer size of our group. At least I hope so.
Bottom line: as you can see by my photo, gorgeous view and lovely chiringuito, but would require a return visit to adjust my opinion.

The location of this place couldn’t be better, it’s down at the northernmost point on the Rota walkway beach area. It is comfortably situated right on the beach with an open air setup that is common in a place like this that gets very little rain. The owners and workers seem to all speak both English and Spanish and by the looks of things, try to cater to Latin American subset of the local population and the US military looking for a small taste of that back home feeling. The place is very inviting and has a relaxing Caribbean appeal to it. It’s a great place to catch up with some friends and have some drinks while the sun sets over the Atlantic. The owner/​bartender (can’t tell) is mighty proud of his Sangria de Juan which he has been making for 40 years or so. The prices are a little high but some of that is to be expected with the location, it’s definitely worth a visit.
