I ordered tuna in red sauce, got a ramen-sized bowl of tuna - there was more tuna than potatoes, everything was very tasty, so I really suffered by the end: I was not able to leave anything uneaten (so tasty!), but there really was not enough space in me for a dish that big. I'd say that big portions of very tasty food are characteristic for this place: my husband ordered meat and had the same problem

We spontaneously end up in this place but the food that is so flavorful makes us visit again. The starter sweet potato timbal portion is for sharing and was very delicious!!! We also like the outdoor seating arrangement. The staffs were very attentive and friendly.

I visited here during my two nights in Güímar and can say I very much enjoyed my time here, the food options are good and I found the price affordable from a tourist perspective, I’d recommend anyone visiting Güímar to come here and experience the food, the drinks are also very well priced in combination with the food and service.

Wowza! We went here after visiting the piramides of Guïmar and we were definitely in for a surprise! The service/workers are hard working and pleasant, the dishes are well put together and big. Price is also really good for what you are getting. A definite thumbs up! Ps. We ordered a new tea and barraquito for drinks. The eggplant cheese, avocado cheese (smoked which was awesome) and the patatas bravas. All was delishh.
