What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
This traditional Basque tavern is celebrated for its authentic tapas, lively atmosphere, and friendly, attentive staff. While many rave about the delicious food and great value, a few reviewers noted occasional slow or chaotic service, and one felt the hype didn't match their experience.
"Googled Tapas restaurants in Los Cristianos and found this fantastic little place tucked away. Usually, you would have to book to get in, but we were lucky. The tapas menu was brilliant, food out of this world as you can see from the photos and the staff fantastic. Prices brilliant for really good quality food. Would highly recommend."
Jason Carroll
"Fantastic. Having visited on one of the first nights of our holidays we chose to go back for our final meal in Los Cristianos as it was the favourite restaurant we had been to. Super list of tapas and difficulty was choosing what to get. So tasty. Nice wine list and beers and the staff we were very friendly and helpful. Highly recommend. Worth making a booking as is quite busy."
Ian Crowley
"Food was really good, nice wine list, large selection of smaller and larger dishes. The Txakolina was excellent. Service a bit slow and chaotic when we were there, but had a very nice evening!"

Just around the corner was another excellent restaurant and bar Taberna Vasca. It was popular with locals and all the staff were Spanish except for our waiter who was Venezuelan. We had a drink there every night; the vibe was spot on; mellow, cosy, warm… Ah!
A great find in Los Cristianos
Ordinarily, if we choose to have tapas we go to Taberna Vasca Txupinazo, but as Jim isn’t overly keen on tapas this new place does main meals as well so we hoped it had a lot going for it.
