We found this place through Google Maps and when the food started to arrive... We were just amazed! They have their boat, so the fishes are really fresh and they have a lot of types to choose. We order "camarones", " tomates aliñados" and a type of fish called "sama". They were quick delivering the food and to be honest at this point we would say it would be the best place of the island to order fish.

Fantastic local fish. Fresh Shrimp, Gambas ajillo, papas canarias, salad. Absolutely delicious. Very clean. Very close to the sea. The restaurant is quite small. We didn't book and managed to get a table for four at lunch time. I highly recommend this place and will definitely be returning. We ate a lot and had beers. It worked out to be about €24 p/head. Great value for money. ***** Este es un restaurante tan maravilloso que seguimos regresando allí para comer. la comida es excelente, muy sabrosa. el personal es muy amable y divertido. El pescado es fresco y delicioso. Yo siempre empiezo por camarones, muy dulces y jugosos. Recomiendo encarecidamente este restaurante. I have since been back many times to this restaurant and every time I do it never disappoints. Yesterday, 17/2/23, we went for lunch, 3 of us. We started with the camarones! Delicious, followed by Gambas ajillo, sardines, calamari, papas Arrugadas, mojo sauces, bread. This restaurant is fun, the staff are very friendly and the food is wonderful! I would like to add more stars!!

This was easily my most authentic dining experience on Tenerife. The food here is simple and unpretentious, letting the freshness of the ingredients shine through. The fish was as fresh as it gets, prepared in a straightforward manner that brings out its natural flavors. The atmosphere is rustic and full of local character—more like a no-frills eatery than a formal restaurant, so come here for the food, not the ambiance. The staff were friendly and attentive, even though they spoke only basic English. The menu is conveniently available in Spanish, English, and German, which is helpful. Overall, this spot is perfect for anyone seeking fresh, high-quality fish in a laid-back, authentic setting. Just don’t expect any frills or fine-dining touches—this place is all about good, honest food.
