Delicious and generous. We went as a couple. Bread (the one with a yellow colour) was bussin. The arroz was so delicious that when we were finished the pan was wiped clean. We even got complimentary digestive shots (a chocolatey bailey’s kind) when the waiter saw us struggling with a food coma. 10/10 worth!

Finally, a good place to sit and eat in Tenerife! After a few disappointments with food and restaurants, we finally came to place with nice interior and great food! For starters - awesome olives, bread and olive oil, and after that, delicious black risotto as main course. Highly recommended for gourmands as we are.

Starter tomatoes and burrito salad. Waitress forgot to mention the blackboard with dishes not on the menu. Chose a rice dish of Iberian pork. Arrived with two pieces of pork in the centre of the rice. It was very tasty, but note that this was not Paella. They are known for rice dishes, of which there is a good variety on the menu. Dessert apple pie again very tasty. A bottle of wine and a bill of 85 euros in total. Reservation recommended.

This experience was nothing short of fantastic, from start to finish! The arroz negro con mariscos was to die for, incredibly tasty and bursting with flavor ! The owners and the staff are so lovely and sweet, so respectful and professional, they made sure we were enjoying everything! It’s for sure the must-do restaurant if you are in Santa Cruz de Tenerife!

Best paella in Tenerife! If you want to a good paella this is the place to go! Only opens during the day as paella is considered a lunch meal. Make sure to try their fried pork belly with local gofio! Fair prices, friendly staff.

I read on the Internet that they serve the best paella on the island here and it seems the internet was right. Great food, fantastic service, we'll be back!
