Pomodoro Y Basilico — Restaurant in Los Realejos

Payment by card is not accepted. It is written twice at the entrance, but only in Spanish. I think that is not enough (for a tourist destination). The ATM is really around the corner (50m), but for example my bank wants 6 euros for each withdrawal. If I knew, I wouldn't order it. I don't understand why they don't have a credit card terminal. We were sitting outside and the table was very sticky. You really stick to it. I tried and the table led us. He was also sticky. I think it's a problem in painting wood and I think the table was clean. Still uncomfortable, but rather sticky wooden table than plastic 👍. Anyway, I would recommend solving this problem. I ordered a pizza, it was very good, but please do not put on the pizza olives that have a seed inside. Thank you waiters for being warned in advance 👍. Still, it ruined my pizza a bit. Sugo was weird, but spiced right. Maybe there was no olive oil and the sugo layer was too big. Therefore, the ingredients for the pizza did not stick almost at all and the dough in the middle part was greasy (soggy). I'm a little critical, but it wasn't bad. I enjoyed it. I just want to let you know what's wrong. The staff was great and smiling. After the payment we waited a bit, but the staff tried was very fast, smiling and friendly. Thank you for the evening and I hope that you will take at least a piece of my...

Fyi: As a half century old man, I lived in 42 countries, ate into 1000ths, maybe 10000 restaurants:

Apparently I have much higher eating standards than most people here in the reviews!

I ordered filete del chef on a silent afternoon... They didn't have it! They didn't have their chefs dish! Omg

So they suggested the chef beef of half a kilo... Which turned out to be almost 700gr and got charged a whopping 56€ in total! While an average restaurant in Tenerife charges you below 40!

If that was not enough: The meat was super rare! Just the sides a bit grilled and cold in the middle! They gave me my own grill to prepare my meat myself!

To end in a good way, I ordered Tiramisu, which AGAIN, THEY DIDN'T HAVE! THEY ONLY HAD 2 DESSERTS FROM THE WHOLE MENU!

I had enough and wanted to go and pay with card, which they didn't accept! I had to walk to the f'in banc to get cash!!

This restaurant deserves to have a 2 to 3 maximum as score and I truly don't understand how they have a score this high!

Update: Came back a few times and the filete del chef is amazing... Sometimes... There seems to be a problem by getting consistent good meat... Still very pricy and INSANE you only can pay with cash money, but I start recommending this...

Not good enough to be cash only in 2023. Negatives: Cash only (in 2023!?) Saw a cockroach on the wall and on our table Table cloth was covered in at least 8 hairs from different people when we arrived Table cloth appeared dirty and mildly stained Mild stench similar to a Goodwill thrift shop

Positives: Extremely friendly and multilingual staff. By far the best part of the restaurant is the people working there. I really wanted to give this place a five star review because they were so nice Menu was extensive We were given a free wine tasting to suggest a good bottle of wine. We really enjoyed it and purchased a bottle with our meal. An excellent recommendation! Great desserts! Nice decorations Food was good :)

Overall, I really really wanted to give this a five star review. If they were cleaner and accepted cards, I would have! I hope they can make these changes in the coming months! I want to see this restaurant succeed. They just need to clean tablecloths after every guest, remove roaches, and accept...
