Cafe & Bar Los Roques — Restaurant in La Orotava

I was there for a quick lunch.

I was waiting in line for about 20 minutes, once it was my turn I realised why this was: They have two options to pay With Cash they have a fancy machine in wich you put the money and it spits out the change really fast. By credit/debitcard they have to enter a 8-10 digit code into the card terminal to start the transaction, after this they will print out copies of the reciept and the payment confirmation and will put it into the register.

The clerk was really slow… a snail would have been faster.

For eating i had the croquettes with fries, the fries were ok you cant do too many things wrong with them. The croquettes were just terrible. Slightly warm but not really and just bland it didn’t taste like anything I ever had.

The sandwiches and salads which were already prepared were in the cooler for up to three days already and you could see that. The tuna sandwich for example was soaked the bread was almost non existent.

I recommend to at maximum buy drinks or coffee...

We stopped by this place for a quick ice cream and coffee break after our hike. We also ate our sandwiches there, even though technically you’re not supposed to bring your own food. The coffee was just okay, nothing special, but the kids really enjoyed their ice cream from the store.

The atmosphere felt like a basic dining room, and you have to order at the counter, so don’t expect table service. One annoying thing is that you even have to pay to use the toilets. But here’s a tip—just head over to the nearby Teide Visitors Center where the toilets are free!

Overall, this spot is fine if you need to sit down and have a quick snack after your hike, but it’s nothing...

Worst cafetaria to go to. If I had known what the food was like I would've walked further on an empty stomach, and drive an extra hour to go somewhere else to eat.

The food is overpriced and bad. The couscous salad I chose had fungus on it, and I mean hairy and fuzzy all over. Even without that it was the driest and most basic couscous I have ever eaten.

The bread was stale, the yoghurt had gone bad, and the staff was rude about us pointing these things out.

Only go here for drinks, that way you probably won't get...
