    This is one of the best restaurants in Tenerife, it is as well traditional, and food is simply amazing. I love to visit traditional restaurants and try real traditional food. I have visited numerous places during my third visit in this island and this place is on top of my list. Must try grilled octopus with canarian potatos and mojo sauces. Sauces and potatos alone are so delicious. Also tried garlic soup and have to say it surpassed my expectations as ot wasnt something i have tried before. Next time me and my partner in Tenerife we are coming back dor more amazing food!!! Thank you!!! PS. They make amazing Sangria here as well.

    It's a traditional restaurant, not a fancy one, with well cooked seafood, at reasonable price levels. We arrived at 7pm when most of the tables were free. When we left, there were about 10 persons waiting outside for a free table. I think this confirms the good food you get here. I had the most delicious octopus (pulpo a la plancha), shrimps were also delicious. The mix seafood plate for 2 is enough also for 3 persons. Accompanied with the local white wine, our dinner was perfect!

    My family and I dinned in at the Meson Los Gemelos, and we had a fantastic meal. Everything we ordered was extremely well cooked. To drink, I recommend to try sangria or coffee. To eat - octopus (pulpa), fish of the day (we had Sama) and steak. Definitely will visit them again!

    Not sure if it was the time of day, we arrived late 22.00 but the veggie soup comes with meat, shrimp cocktail was a pile of burned shrimps with some coctail sauce with a side garnish of coleslaw with pineapple. Our maindish was a heavily burned paella and cant even decsribe the unattentitive staff. Reason it gets two stars is we travelled for over 8 hours today and just needed to be fed...

    (Translated by Google) You had time wanting to meet them, because several friends had already recommended the place to us, I have to say that we ate very well, the Octopus a la BñVinaigrette was divine, we ate other things, but we were so focused on the good flavors that we forgot the photos, super recommended. You have to visit them, we will be back. (Original) Tenías tiempo con ganas de conocerlos, porque ya varias amigos nos habían recomendado el lugar, tengo que decir que comimos muy bien, el Pulpo a la BñVinagreta estaba divino, comimos otras cosas, pero estábamos tan concentrados en los buenos sabores que olvidamos las fotos, súper recomendado. Tienes que visitarlos, volveremos.

    I would definitely like to visit this place again as well the island of Tenerife. Well loved each and every dish from here. Seafood was fresh stuff was very friendly though we struggled a bit due to language barren but at the end loved the place. The tropical salad was surprise for me never imagined a salad so simple will be this appealing and delicious I recommend this place do visit it But please do reserve the place before you go in it is very crowded. Hopefully we were lucky enough to get a spot and enjoy the most reviewed restaurant in that place .

    (Translated by Google) This is the best restaurant in Tenerife! The interior is good, the food is delicious, and the service is friendly and fast. There's good music, and the bathroom is clean. Both the cod and the octopus are so soft and the sauce is delicious. Highly recommend!! (Original) 테네리페 최고 맛집입니다! 인테리어도 좋고 음식도 맛있고 서비스도 친절하고 빠릅니다. 흥겨운 음악도 있고, 화장실도 깨끗해요.

    Ok, prepare to queue(we waited nearly an hour)! You need to go to do and write your name and number of people in your group and wait till a table becomes free. It is however worth the wait! 3 of us got the lamb, 1 the rabbit and another chicken and all commented on how yummy they were! I had the garlic shrimps to start and they were seriously good. I would eat there again just for those! perfection!

  • 5/5 Snieguole S. 2 years ago on Google
    What a find..gorgeous food..fab quality and beyond reasonably priced. Lovely staff too. Would go back in a heartbeat ...amazing find in Puerto de la Cruz. 😊 would hardly recommended. The only thing that you can't book a table and have to wait for it when its busy...but it is worth it. So just calm you jets and sit tight while you wait...then..Enjoy it 😊

  • 5/5 Sabine H. 2 years ago on Google
    You must go here when you visit Puerto. The place is authentic and it serves great dishes. The fried octopus was amazing. Good value for money.

  • 5/5 Gokben A. 4 months ago on Google
    Tapas, seafood, sangria—all delicious. However, there's always a long queue to contend with. Even if you manage to secure a seat inside, it's challenging to relax as the queue is continuous, adding pressure to finish your meal quickly. Despite the wait, I've been there twice during my time in Tenerife because the ambiance is lovely, and the food is good, but the wait is a bit excessive. (Side note: Shrimp could be the best in the island)

  • 4/5 Katarzyna P. 2 years ago on Google
    Very beautiful place, yumi food, but because of green plants everywhere(which is beautiful)here is a lot of flies at the restaurant. I know its not restaurant stuff's fault, but its so annoying so we quickly eat and go, so i recommend it for people which has no problem with insects sitting on their's food ;)

  • 4/5 Shane F. 5 months ago on Google
    A nice experience with very patient service. Nice atmosphere with 3 out of 4 plates being excellent (Octopus was a miss). Onion soup, "Sea Bass", steak were all great. Would return

  • 5/5 Roni Mediterranean F. 1 year ago on Google
    One of the best restaurants in tenerife…amazing food and good prices…

  • 4/5 Danny C. 1 year ago on Google
    Food was great- authentic! Servers were lovely and kind. Super busy place (at least when I went). Steak was tasty but a tad bit salty for my taste- maybe just me. Overall great experience. Loves the garlic shrimp!

  • 5/5 Rach C. 3 months ago on Google New
    Amazing seafood at reasonable prices. Decent wine. Friendly staff with attentive service. Probably the best place to eat in the area.

  • 5/5 John C. 1 year ago on Google
    I've eaten at Los Gemelos a few times and it's never let me down. It's definitely one of the best and busiest restaurants, serving home style Camarian food, at reasonable prices in Puerto. You should come and eat here. Having said that, some dishes I've had here have been better than others - but overall, this place is (usually) a winner.

  • 5/5 Paulina L. 11 months ago on Google
    Tasty food and great portions - if you want to have dessert, skip starters 😅 If you come at peak time you might need to wait a bit, but it’s worth it!

  • 5/5 Jakub K. 1 year ago on Google
    You don’t want to miss this place. It is an authentic place serving great food at a very good price! I was surprised that this huge plate of fish and seafood costed only 28€. House wine is almost free, I think they charged 1€ for two glasses. And there is really no compromise in taste. Will definitely come back 👍👍👍

  • 5/5 Silvia T. 1 year ago on Google
    A real traditional experience. Very tasty food and nice local service. We had the chocos and canarian steak. Delicious!

  • 5/5 Cornel P. 8 months ago on Google
    The place has a traditional Spanish food, with great prices and absolutely delicious food! We ate here twice, octopus, cod, paella, tortilla de patatas, which were delicious! First time we ate, was in the late evening, and we wrote ourselves on the waiting list, because is that popular, and had to wait about an hour. The second time we arrived st opening hours and didn't had to wait at all. The place has also a good traditional vibe, but has no air conditioning or fans, so it can get pretty warm inside when it's full. But it's worth it and we totally recommend it!

    (Translated by Google) Good typical Canarian place in the center. Very good grilled cheese or fried octopus. The only problem is the large queues if you don't arrive very early.

    (Translated by Google) Very rich and well prepared, typical Canarian food. Fresh squid, spectacular octopus, very large portions at a reasonable price. But you always have to queue for at least 30 minutes, sometimes longer. (Original) Comida muy rica y bien elaborada, típica canaria.

  • 5/5 Maciej K. 4 years ago on Google
    The first restaurant we visited on Tenerife and great already. The fish and calamari were great. It was also the first time I tried papas arrugadas and I fell in love. Barraquito was also great. The service doesn't speak English very well, but it's possible to communicate. Recommend.

    Great little patio, very cute, comfortable and intimate. Service was impeccable and food delicious. We ate octopuss, as a starter in vinaigrette as well as grilled. One of the best octopuss I have tried and I eat it often. And it was very inexpensive too, less then 20 eur per person including drinks.
