El Surtidor

We had a pretty good meal here, and we were lucky enough to snag a table because it's very popular. Several people left after a while because there were no tables available. I had the Churros de Pescados, which was delicious. It came with fries. My partner had chicken croquettes. We also had a plate of Tomates Aliñados with some bread (which wasn't fresh). All in all, it was good for what it was - a quick eat, before heading to the port.

Lovely little spot outside to enjoy a small tapa. The ambience inside was less than desirable with some stacked chairs and gentle storage. Just ordered a juice, sparkling water, and “ropa vieja” The food was nice, although nothing leaving me wanting more. Service was lackluster as the people didn’t seem too pleased with their jobs ..

On the corner of a cosy town there are two tapas restaurants. We came specifically for El Surtidor, and it was the best tapas we had on the island! The food is super, the grilled squid was amazing, so were our other choices. The waiter is a friendly guy, although he did forget our drinks at first, but nothing to complain about as the rest was perfect. There’s some traffic, but not too much or annoying. One tiny advice: create some homemade desserts, as the prepackaged desserts we saw on another table had us deciding not to go for it. Parking is best done across the bridge where a large parking area is.

Sitting on a traffic island, you'll be pleasantly surprised by how enjoyable the experience can be. We ordered fried fish accompanied by local Canarian potatoes, dressed with red sauce and Padrón peppers. Everything was fresh and delicious.

El Surtidor Tapas is a vibrant gem in the neighborhood, embraced by friendly locals. The fried octopus is unparalleled—delicious and melt-in-your-mouth tender, making it one of the best we've ever tasted. The chickpea stew with chorizo is a flavor-packed delight, complemented by the delightful tomato sauce, perfect for bread-dipping. It’s a lovely spot to have a bite whilst observing locals engage in cheerful conversations. With both shaded outdoor seating as well as cosy indoor tables, there is a place for everyone. The price-quality ratio is great, with highlights like the octopus dish at 14€ and an espresso priced at just 1€. The friendly service adds to the welcoming vibe. Highly recommend this spot for an all-around enjoyable experience!
