We were starving when we arrived so headed directly to the centre. Madre Maria had a deal on (a meal and drink for €10) so we ventured in.
The restaurant was pretty empty (not a good sign). The options were simple. You could order a type of meat with a salad and a side dish. I had the Steak with a side of Chips and my husband had a Mixed Grill with the same side. His grill comprised of Steak, Ribs and Pork.
All in all the food was very average and I really felt that not much care was put into the construction of our meal. Moreover the presentation was sloppy and the meat quite tough. I also suspect that the chips were bought not made and probably the dips too.
Eating out in a foreign country is a bit like Russian roulette. You just don't know if you've stumbled onto something special or something disappointing. Unfortunately Madre Maria was somewhere in the middle.
