Great breakfast, I had churros, it was great, and the bocadillo de pata I took away, was the best pata bocadillo I have ever try in Spain. Cheap price. I hope one day I could go back there for the bocadillo.

This is a cozy restaurant with incredibly delicious dishes. Speaking more, in 3 months of our active gastronomic holiday in Tenerife, this is the most delicious restaurant. Very authentic and polite chef. I sincerely recommend to everyone and we will definitely be back.
