Man left floored at price two meals at McDonald's in Benidorm
While the fast food eatery is known for its generally cheap food, this British man who was on holiday in Benidorm was floored at the cost of two meals from the Spanish Maccies.
"Could this be the nicest McDonald's in the whole entire world?" Harry, who posts on TikTok as @harrytokky, asked his followers. He showed the view from the Maccies, saying: "You're not gonna get better than this." Unlike your typical Maccies outlets, this one looks out onto the sea.
But he then joked "who cares about the view," saying that he was going to go inside because he was "desperate for a Happy Meal", The Mirror UK reports.
Sitting outside, he said: "And just like that, the food has arrived. Now you will not believe how cheap this was. We've got two meals here. Guess how much this costs? €11".
Harry continued, explaining that there are two fries, two burgers, two drinks, and some chicken nuggets on the side as well.
He gushed: "I mean, €11? What do you think guys? I think that's an absolute bargain, let's be honest. €11? In the UK, that'd probably be at least £20."
While some people in the comments section moaned that Benidorm McDonald's has "slow" service, others said the wait was well worth it.
One said they'd had the "best Big Mac" ever at the Benidorm Maccies, while another gushed it was the "best view" you'll get under the Golden Arches.
However, the taste may differ. One visitor remarked: "Their chicken nuggets are definitely different from English ones".
People have also taken to TripAdvisor to share their experiences of Benidorm's McDonald's. One said it was a "fantastic" place to get "cheap food on vacation" while in Spain.
Meanwhile, another reviewer wrote: "Visited this McDonald's as we wanted something like home while on holidays, and it was a great experience. I got the McCrispy Burger meal, and we got the bacon & cheese wedges for sharing, and it was all so delicious!
"It came out slightly colder than we would have liked, but we still ate it. The restaurant was clean and the staff were lovely!
"We used the machines as you entered to order our food, and they provided all languages. McFlurry was great as well. Will definitely be recommending to friends and family".
