Tasca La Restingolita — Restaurant in El Pinar de El Hierro

SCAM!!! DO NOT EAT HERE!!!!!

A brutal reminder that not all chefs can cook. We ordered "fish with green sauce" and "beef tenderloin". I asked for medium rare and got medium cooked. The meat was bordering long cooked, the black pepper sauce tasted like they dropped the salt package in the sauce. The black peppercorn was soggy. The french fries were soggy, uncooked in the middle, unsalted and had a starchy flavour. While citrus is not normally served with red meat and while its usually lemon and not orange, the orange slice was still the best part of my plate.

When asking for the bill, they have the gall to ask for 5 euro extra for the sauces. The same sauce that was in the name of the dish. Obviously they changed the name on our reciept because it would probably consitute as fraud otherwise. I'll include pictures for proof.

I am looking forward to my 1 euro emergency ramen thats in...

Lovely location, a bit protected from the road and yet with an open view to the port. We've been here twice as there are not many options in town to turn to.

We liked the croquetas and the sauce they came with was delicious. The salad was quite ok. Would say it's a bit overpriced for the food menu selection and preparation. But you can...

Visited here on the last night of a diving trip. They opened up the big room for us (party of 5) and although it wasn't as pretty as the smaller more intimate side of the establishment it was very good for our party. The tables in the larger room could easily handle a party of 8, where four would be a squeeze on the other side. The food was excellent, thick juicy steaks and generous portions of well cooked fish. The waiter was very good, getting in on the English banter, and very helpful. He helped us with our orders and our Spanish, and could explain dishes well to us in English as well as trying to teach us the Spanish pronunciation. Nine to thirteen euro for a very generous main course. Very happy with the food, price and...
