This was one of our worst eating experiences at Tenerife. We ordered chicken breast and white fish with a bottle of red wine. Now I forgot to mention the bread (prebaked oven) and water. These two we liked, the others we didn't. Chicken was too fat and tasteless. The fish was way too rubbery, and not fresh at all. If you dare to test your stomach and want to go to this place anyway, be carefull with the French fries. Oil was dripping out and it was way too dry. It seemed or it tasted like the restaurant re-used ingredients. This was definitely fried again. In the end the waitress was way beyond her limits and so rude. I honoustly never have experienced this behaviour, and felt with my wife insulted. For example; "What?" is not the sentence you should use to your customers when they have complaints about the food. Funny detail is, I really cannot remember when I wanted to ventilate last time a complaint to a restaurant, and I go weekly! The waitress said I should complain to the owner. Nevertheless she pointed to a closed bar and shut the door firmly. If I would be Gordon Ramsey first thing I would do is buy a big mirror and let them see for themselves what kind of fools they make out of themselves. Did I already mention the wine was sour and of taste? For the ones who will test their stomach; I sincerely wish you good luck!

For a taste of an authentic Tenerife cafeteria , bar / cafe you could do a lot worse than stop off for refreshments provided by the host Juan ( who might be the only other person in the cafeteria who speaks English ) . No frills good food prepared quickly by Juan himself , who must be one of the hardest working barman / chef / waiter in Spain but this doesnt stop him from having time for a joke and a chat with his many customers , including the kids he entertains whilst parents enjoy a well deserved snack or beverage of their choice . Personally I love his " Americano " coffee which is probably the best value on the island . A selection of pork , chicken , beef can be cooked up in minutes Spanish Style as well as a variety of Burgers , Baguettes , Sandwiches etc and the obligatory " Chips " and the prices ARE something to write home about . By no means the " fanciest " food or the " fanciest " establishment I have reviewed but , whether you are on a drive around the island or staying in San Miquel , it is well worth stopping in at Juans Cafeteria Manhattan , which is on the main road between the local Police Station and the Tourist Information Centre with loads of nearby parking . Only problem is .... you might enjoy yourself too much and end up having to find a bed for the night ! ! ! SORRY FOLKS JUAN DOESNT DO BED AND BREAKFAST !!

I visited this restaurant in a couple. The outside courtyard was beautiful, very calm and quite romantic. If you sit towards the back, you can hear a small waterfall/water feature behind you. The rosé was beautiful and the Pork steak was incredible. Great service aswell. I will definitely be going back and would recommend it to anyone visiting. Reasonable prices too.
