About Taperia Échale mojo
Taperia Échale Mojo is a casual tapas bar in Cangas serving Canarian cuisine with a Galician spin. The kitchen handles both traditional island dishes—pulpo á feira, papas arrugadas, tortilla de chorizo—and local Galician seafood with equal confidence. It's a bright, clean space with a rooftop terrace (spring and autumn), dog-friendly throughout, and staffed by attentive women who know the menu inside out and aren't afraid to steer you right. Reviewers consistently praise the freshness of ingredients, the generosity of portions, and the homemade desserts. The mojo rojo and mojo verde sauces appear across multiple reviews as standouts. It's not a fine-dining theatre. It's a neighbourhood place where the cooking's precise, the service is warm without fuss, and you'll leave satisfied at €10–20 per person.
What Stands Out
Canarian cooking that travels
Reviews mention pulpo frito, carne en fiesta, papas arrugadas, and tortilla de chorizo executed with precision. One reviewer noted 'buena fusión del producto local con el toque canario'—local Galician seafood treated with Canarian technique. The mojo rojo and mojo verde are called 'riquísimas' and 'diferente y sorprendente para bien' across multiple reviews.
Homemade desserts and attention to detail
Multiple reviewers specifically mention casero (homemade) desserts: tarta de queso y pistacho, helados, tartaleta with Lotus biscuits. One review states 'Se nota que son caseros y están cuidados al detalle.' Another notes the kitchen got a tortilla 'poco hecha' exactly right on request.
Staff who make you feel welcome
Reviewers describe 'trato muy cercano,' 'super majas,' 'simpáticas,' 'eficaces,' and 'siempre atentas.' One review: 'te hacen sentir como en casa.' Another: 'El personal siempre atento y proponiendo sugerencias.' This isn't generic politeness—it's the kind of attentiveness that gets mentioned in every positive review.
What Customers Say

Muy buena cocina canaria ( carne en fiesta , pulpo frito,etc..) aparte de un trato muy cercano.

“Cenamos en la terraza del local el Domingo por la noche, era la primera vez que íbamos y eso que vivimos al lado, no tenemos perdón, jejejejj La cena exquisita, el servicio maravilloso y súper atento, y el ambiente genial”
We dined on the restaurant's terrace on Sunday night. It was our first time going, even though we live right next door, we're unforgivable, hahaha. The dinner was exquisite, the service was wonderful and super attentive, and the atmosphere was great.
