El Padrino
About
Look for El Padrino in Gran Canaria for local business, a restaurant on Calle Jesús de Nazareno, Ctra. de las Coloradas, 1, BAJO, 35009 Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Las Palmas. First-time visitors can expect a straightforward, no-frills local eatery rather than a polished tourist restaurant. El Padrino serves the kind of everyday Canarian cooking that locals return to, with fresh seafood, goat cheese and papas arrugadas with mojo sauce typical of the island's tables. Its 4.3 out of 5 average, drawn from 2,022 reviews, reflects steady approval rather than hype. The venue sits in Las Palmas, the island's capital, and Maspalomas and Playa del Inglés lie within the same island road network. Reaching El Padrino from the main resorts is manageable by car or bus along the island's roads, though the address is in the capital rather than the southern tourist strip. Opening hours run Mo-Su 12:00-00:30, so lunch through late evening is covered every day of the week. Five photos are available for reference, and the venue's Facebook page is at https://www.facebook.com/Restaurante-El-Padrino-265599140229443. Gran Canaria's mild subtropical climate keeps the island warm and sunny for most of the year, with June to September the hottest and busiest stretch. Spanish is the main language, so a few basic phrases help when ordering. Ferries and short flights link the Canaries to each other, while frequent flights connect them to mainland Spain.
