What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Restaurante el Camino is celebrated for its authentic Spanish tapas and unique cozy atmosphere set on stairs. Diners frequently praise the fresh, homemade-tasting food, generous portions, and reasonable prices, making it a standout in a tourist-heavy area. However, some reviewers mention slow service during busy periods and occasional inconsistencies in food quality, with one review detailing an overcharging incident.
"This place is the real deal. Go there and you won't be disappointed. The staff are really friendly and on top of it -- which says a lot because it's a very popular and so busy place. The food was outstanding. The tapas menu will vary each day, so go back. Easily some of the best I've had. Their sandwiches are equally great. Only managed to go twice (photos are from both visits), otherwise would have tried more. And, as the other reviews say, yes that barraquito is yummy."

"Great food, good and friendly service, nice place to be. Maybe the best tapas I had in a long time. Tenerife has many tourist restaurants, with a relatively boring menu, it is hard to find some genuine Spanish kitchens.
El Camino is just that place! Don’t get distracted by the stairs and a little strange ambiance, when you are seated you get excellent service, lovely tapas and free entertainment from the people passing by.
And last but not least, this place is very price friendly. My advise: go there!"
Sander Beumer
"First of all it's not a restaurant, it's a bar and tapas.
Fried calamari are unfortunately an imitation. Tinto de verano and sangría are not worth. Better to go with a beer.
Ensaladilla was good. The chicken and white beans are also not worth.
Colesaw tapa without any love (i.e. dressing).
Recommendation: go somewhere else."
