    Absolutely amazing food, one of the best experiences in my life. We were going back three times always trying some different things and I cannot say any bad word about all of them. Highly recommend, I am more than sure that I will go to visit that place when I will be in Tenerife.

    Overcooked entrecote steaks, when we asked for medium rare they were massively overcooked and tough. Salad was absolutely drenched in so much thick balsamic dressing you could not taste the salad and in fact it was inedible. Lovely looking restaurant which fails to deliver on expectations. Overpriced and poorly executed Out of 6 meals, none met the mark.

    Pretty disappointing. The "bags" pasta is actually a dessert because it's super sweet, the salmon had its sauce on the skin side so you have to eat its skin, the plates were pretty dirty and the glasses smelled of fish. I could not recommend it for now.

    The food was very salty and it was hard to notice the creativity of the taste because of it. The portions are generous. The location is nice. We sat outside. We had to wait to pay for quite a while. UPD. I ordered a cod with sweet onions

    After a beautiful hiking day I was looking for a pleasant lunch experience with my husband and decided to stop and this restaurant. Me and my husband were refused service for no apparent reason, we just asked for a table for 2 and were told: “the kitchen was closed”. Literally 2 min later I could see they were taking new orders. I decided to ask them why we were not allowed to sit down, and were simply told the kitchen closed for 5 min. Couldn’t they just ask us to wait for 5 min ?? I have never seen such behavior from restaurant staff

    This quaint little tapas restaurant exudes charm with its concise menu, hinting at quality over quantity. We sampled an array of dishes: the blood sausage, fried cheese, and croquetas. The fish croquetas were delightful, though presented more like Dutch 'Bitterballen', they were satisfying. The smoked cheese was well-paired with papaya, creating a tasty combination. The blood sausage came with a sweet sauce, though the dishes overall leaned a bit too much towards sweetness for my taste. While the textures were pleasing and the flavors decent, a bit more spice and seasoning would elevate the experience. Less sweetness is desired. Nonetheless, the service was excellent, friendly, and efficient. The wine list, though small, features nice local options that are affordable and enjoyable. Overall, it's a solid choice for a casual outing with no lofty expectations - just a nice time. I'd rate it 3 out of 5. A cozy spot worth stopping by for an easy, enjoyable meal or tapas

    Really nice place with great atmosphere and caring staff. I took the salmon and it was really tasty. Be aware they have pretty big servings, so don’t get too exciting with ordering things 😂. We left the place really satisfied, they also have really good music playing inside and outside (even if it was raining we took a table outside because they have coverings, they were playing some jazzy music that was perfect for the weather outside).

    The food is excellent, the staff is friendly, the restaurant is pleasant. We eat Cod gratin MORTERO with potato on tomato and Secret with baked potatoes, Padron peppers with black salt and Creamy white chocolate with dark chocolate ice cream.

    A very nice surprise. We had several tapas and they were all delicious. Definitely stop by if you are nearby.

    The menu was not on english and even if the waiter didn’t soke a lot of english, we undertood each other 🤣. Very friendly ppl and the food is just amazing! The tapas are big enough and me and my wife shared two of them. Will visit again when in Icod!

    Nice service and reasonable prices. Pasta was overcooked.

  • 3/5 richard s. 4 years ago on Google
    Great presentation of the food .beautiful settings .the waiters were very helpful and friendly.but the service was slow .The chicken salad was excellent .I found the other dishes had too much sauce and I was not able to really taste the food because of the sauces. The pasta was with too much cream and then covered with cheese .good flavours but just a little too heavy .I will go back in the future Because the menu looks very good .So maybe I went on a bad day .hopefully when I go back in the future I will give the restaurant the 5 stars which the restaurant truly deserves

    Overall nice experience but not great considering how amazing food you can get in Tenerife in general. Service was fast and really friendly.

    Very good food and nice atmosphere in a tiny street. We ordered the croquettes which were tasty and the secret Iberico pork as the main dish. Very tender meat with a nice crisp from the grill. The brownie was tasty and warm. Overall great experience!

    Super tasty and well done. Kind workers and a nice place to enjoy outside in the terrace because the street is just for pedestrians.

    If you like salad: take the goat cheese salad. Don’t take the fish dish, it’s nothing special. Yet: the dessert was a nice bonus!

    All the allergens are marked on the menu, so it's easy for gluten-free people like me. The food was delicious and plentiful - we had the scrambled eggs (highly recommended!), Cod and pork adobo. There was more than two of us could eat. The wine was good too and they have a selection of local wines from the island. The only downside was the interior was fully booked and we had to sit on the street which was quite cold! I would book next time!

    Very nice restaurant, perfectly close to the infamous el Dragon tree. The food was delivered quick and had realy good quality. The service was friendly and I had a nice experience eating there. The only thing to know, you need a smartphone to view the menu cuz its only onlien.
