The 32-year-old "Benidorm Fanatic" was stunned when he found a place that sells such a hearty breakfast so cheap.
He shared his findings with his 43,000 TikTok followers - although he was less than impressed with the end product.
Louis paid a total of £3.90 (€4.50), for the meal, but it failed to meet his expectations.
"I visited Marianos, a renowned restaurant in Benidorm," he told What's The Jam.
"It is celebrated for its exceptional chicken, considered by many to be the finest in Spain, and is also highly regarded as the best take away in Benidorm.
"Considering its popularity among both English and Spanish speakers, this establishment has consistently provided excellent food to British patrons for numerous years, and I have thoroughly enjoyed many wonderful takeaway meals.
"However, I regret to say that the breakfast was quite unappetising, and I was unable to eat it – it was that bad.
"It tasted undercooked and of very low quality.
"I would maybe go back but only for its famous chicken."
The video shows him sat outside the cafe as he orders his low-cost Full English breakfast.

The plate had two pieces of toast, one sausage, two eggs, two mushrooms, a tomato, a hash brown and two rashers of bacon.
But Louis called it "gross" and the "worst breakfast" he's ever had.
However, commenters on his video were divided on the matter, with some voicing their support and others roasting the expat.
"What do you expect for that money? Smoked salmon," one user posted.
"Never thought of Mariano's for breakie haha," another said.
"What was wrong with it, everything looked fine, that's not a fair review," a third posted.
But other commenters were in full agreement with Louis.
One user said: "That's all I've tried there.
"It's terrible, so I've never been back. The place is a dump."
"Mariano's has gone right down hill to what it used to be," another posted.
It comes after a Brit gran was accused of "fabricating complaints" by a Corfu hotel boss after she moaned her stay was a "nightmare" thanks to "no bacon, sausages or chips".
The OAP was accused by the hotel of fishing for compensation - and the manager even claimed she had blamed the staff for bad weather.

Ryanair boss considers increasing staff bonus to tackle excess baggage ‘scourge'

Ryanair is considering increasing a bonus paid to staff for identifying passengers' oversized luggage, its chief executive said. The airline currently pays staff around 1.50 euros (£1.30) for intercepting customers who are bringing bags on to the aircraft. It is reported that the bonus is capped at about 80 euros (£70) for each staff member per month. Passengers are charged a fee of up to 75 euros (£65) for bringing luggage that is larger than they paid for while booking their journey. Ryanair currently includes a small carry-on bag – capped at a size of 40x20x25cm and weight of 10kg – with every ticket. Passengers must pay a fee if they want to bring larger luggage, or if they want to bring multiple bags. Ryanair boss Michael O'Leary said on Monday that summer fares would, on average, be the same rate as 2023 – but added that he expects a boost in profitability for the airline by 'controlling costs'. Members of the European Parliament are pushing for airlines to allow passengers to be allowed to bring on free an on-board personal item and small hand luggage. However, Mr O'Leary predicted the proposal will not come into law due to a lack of space. Speaking to the business news on RTE's Morning Ireland, he said: 'We're flying largely full flights, about half the passengers can bring two bags and the other half can only bring one – because that's all that fits in the plane. 'We're already struggling with that amount of baggage. 'That's one of the reasons we are so aggressive about eliminating the scourge of passengers with excess baggage.' Mr O'Leary said more than 99.9% of passengers comply with baggage rules, with 'sizers' located within the airport. He said: 'We are happy to incentivise our (staff) with a share of those excess baggage fees, which we think will decline over the coming year or two.' The chief executive added: 'It is about 1.50 euro per bag – and we're thinking of increasing it, so we eliminate it.' Meanwhile, Mr O'Leary predicted that US President Donald Trump will 'chicken out' of introducing increased tariffs for Europe on August 1. Asked if he anticipated tariffs applying to Boeing aircraft being delivered to the airline, he said: 'Trump will probably chicken out again, I suspect the August 1 will get moved to September or October. 'We have taken delivery of five aircraft in the first quarter but no tariffs applied to those aircraft 'There is a risk of tariffs being introduced by the Europeans or the Americans in some tit-for-tat in August, September or October – but Boeing will have to pay those tariffs.' Mr O'Leary said Ryanair would work with Boeing to ensure no tariffs are applied to commercial aircraft, which he said would be bad for the manufacturer's exports to Europe as well as Airbus's sales to the US – as well as the Irish aircraft leasing industry. He added: 'There's increasing optimism, though, in Washington that commercial aircraft will be exempt from any tariffs – if Trump ever gets around to actually imposing tariffs.'

Love Island star Yasmin's sister is convinced exes Emma and Harry have secret game plan and hints at pre-villa pact

LOVE Island star Yasmin's sister is convinced that exes Emma and Harry have a secret game plan, and hinted at a pre-villa pact. Viewers of the show could not believe what they were watching when Emma unveiled her masterplan to get her man. 5 5 She was seen getting close to Harry and even suggesting a romantic reunion, telling him: 'I think people would love to see…' — leaving fans shocked as she clearly hinted the public wanted them back together. Later in the conversation, she added: 'We're stuck for life', while Harry confessed: 'I can't compare anyone to you,' before adding, 'Of course I love you, of course I always have love for you.' Emma and Harry were together for three years, but split after she claimed he cheated and brought other girls back to their home — something she revealed in explosive scenes during her return. Now, Yasmin's sister has shared her thoughts on them having a master plan. In a recent clip, someone said to Zara that Emma reminded them of Fiona from Netflix hit Baby Reindeer. Zara replied: 'This comment made me laugh. Feel free to disagree with me but I don't think Emma and Harry ended up on the same season of the same show was a coincidence. 'There's something weird going on between them and I can't figure out what their plan is but something is going on. This wasn't a coincidence.' She continued: 'Didn't Harry say he sent her flowers or something in February? There's something that doesn't match up. Love Island bombshell Yasmin slammed as 'game-player' as she throws villa into chaos by snogging Harry AND Dejon before row with the girls 'I don't know them personally but the fact she said she'd get back together with him at some point… I think with most people and their exes they think 'Ok that's done now.' 'But for Emma the door was still open so I really don't think it's a coincidence that they've ended up on the same show.' Casa bombshell Emma, who arrived on Day 27 in a shock twist, has been plotting to rekindle her romance with Harry — despite slating him in brutal Instagram DMs only a month earlier and knowing he's coupled up with Helena. And another of Emma's exes believes she's gone in there for one reason and one reason only - to get Harry back. The source told us: 'Her ex and everyone else don't think there's any other reason to go on that show apart from to get back with him. "That's been the plan the whole time, everyone is 99% sure it was planned.' The lad dating Emma called it quits after the Love Island line-up was revealed and she told him about Harry. In a string of cutting messages exchanged on Instagram, which have been seen by The Sun, Emma ripped into Harry's looks, calling him 'butters' and saying he had 'got so skinny since I haven't been feeding him.' 'She literally said he 'wouldn't stand a chance now' and told me she couldn't be bothered with the producers messaging her about going on the show,' the insider added. 'It was all very strange because she was asking for a serious relationship with this guy but at the same time she was talking about Harry and Love Island all the time.' They tell us she was initially very against the show and ruled out entering but in a dramatic u-turn that left fans shocked, she made a surprise entrance and then set her sights on him once again. 'She said she wanted to be the bigger person,' they told us, 'but now she's trying to win the whole thing with the same guy she was mocking.' 5 5

Love Island fans convinced they've worked out Harry's ‘secret gameplan'

LOVE Island fans are sure they've worked out Harry's tactics as he seems to cool on Helena. Things heated up in the Spanish villa on the ITV2 reality dating show during a secret snogging challenge and then fans watched as Harry pulled Shakira over for a chat, despite being coupled up with Helena. 4 4 4 But some viewers think some of the Islanders are not interested in finding love at all and are actually on the show to play a "long game" and get themselves on to the upcoming season of Love Island All-Stars. "Anyone else getting the vibe that some of these islanders are the long game?" wrote one curious fan on Reddit. "Maybe they want a connection and the prize money, but I swear knowing All Stars is coming up feels like it actually benefits them to just mess around more. Why bother with serious commitment when you know you might get another shot at fame anyway?" Another fan replied saying they believed this was exactly Harry's strategy. "This is Harry entire gameplay, he's not serious about any girl, he just want to be known as a menace and get on All Stars," they replied. Another person added: "Exactly! Even if they don't win, they'll get much more money and fame staying as a couple with deals etc for a while until it no longer serves them and then they'll break up once they've reached a certain level. Lots of previous couples have done this." And a third wrote: "It's sadly becoming more common I think. People have seen what it's done for people's success in terms of followers, brand deals etc. so use it as a way to gain those perks rather than love. However, the show has been a bit more unsuccessful the past few seasons and I think the audience have started to see through the schemes." Fans watched during Sunday night's episode how Harry admitted his exes, Emma and Shakira kissed better than Helena, after snogging them both in the secret challenge. The lads were blindfolded and wearing headphones, while the girls made their way down the line and smooched each of them in turn. After enjoying kisses with all the girls, Harry scored Helena an eight, but gave Emma an 8.5 and Shakira a 9. Watch Love Island Helena's fuming reaction as Harry rates ex Emma's kiss better than hers in saucy challenge During Helena's kiss with Harry, she wrapped her hand around his neck as a signal to him that it was her. When it came to describing their kiss, Harry said: "A familiar one for me, I've had the hand around the neck before, as for the kiss itself an eight out of ten." Speaking in the Beach Hut, a disappointed Helena said: "Harry scored me an eight, I'm trying to work out if he didn't realise it was me, but I don't know how he wouldn't realise that was me." Emma then worked her way down the line-up during her turn. She then enjoyed a long kiss with Harry, which promoted Helena to say: "Emma and Harry's kiss went on for a long time, f*** off Emma." Harry described the kiss: "She grabbed the bum cheeks straight away, I've got a little spring in my step back and slowed things down on the kissing front which I'm a big fan of." 4
