We had a perfect lunch here, the Sunday before christmas. Lots of people and very loud, but amazing atmosphere! The ceviche and the gambas al ajillo were tasty. The black dumplings with chipirones (outside the menu) were exquisite. But the carpaccio with shrimps, truffles and foie gras was absolutely stunning. Best dish I've eaten in years!

Amazing seafood tapas lunch, located right in the middle of the bustling fish market = dinner & a show! We managed to find two seats at the counter and sat back and watched the seafood market going on all around us. Don’t worry, there wasn’t a “fishy” smell as the seafood was all so fresh just as it should be! Excellent friendly service. And equally excellent food. The octopus was so tender and delicious, but the standout for us was the garlic prawn omelette. And the shrimp & black potato salad was a total revelation! Beautiful selection of wines - the Spanish Albariño was a perfect for the food. Very reasonably priced. Without a doubt this was the highlight of our day in Santa Cruz Tenerife. Highly recommended!

Very nice place with fresh fish dishes. A bit pricey, my bill came at 33€ for one person. Tuna tartar was delicious, octopus with hummus carbonara was a bit conflicting for me, somehow didn't merry well. It's a very lively place in the middle of the market, sales people shouting from the top of their voice and all sorts of smells and aromas, which I enjoyed. So wouldn't put it for a romantic restaurant, but a quick and freshly prepared bite would do.

Went here today, was fantastic! Have to give special mention to the Venezuelan waitress who gave us excellent customer service and was amazing with our kids. The food was fantastic, highly recommend the tuna cerviche, the prawn omelette and the individual little shrimp that you have with rock salt, go here!

We have visited this place each time we are on Tenerife. My wife's preferred dish is carpaccio de gambones and I love the tatar de bonito, aguacete and chipotle mayonnaise. Excellent wihite wines. Prices not cheap, but worth the money. See our photos for the two dishes.
