Restaurante El Rinconcito de Doña Juanita — Restaurant in Puerto del Rosario

Only 20€ per person + takeaway leftovers! Edit, second visit: Visited again, ordered this time paella, again taste is on an another level, they manage to pack so many different flavors, but yet keep it compact and combine them in a flavor harmony. I know it sounds ridiculous, but it was simply perfect. This time we were at rush hour and I have to take back my complaint about service and atmosphere, everything was flawless, even the waiter that seemed lazy last time was a changed person. 10/10 experience. I think last time was simply bad timing, restaurant was almost empty which is why waiters were few, relaxed and show. Gonna repeat myself, I have high standards and the taste is on Michelin star level. Probably best value restaurant I've in so far in my life. First visit: Most importantly the food is amazing! I had a very strange but extremely tasty dish called Arroz negro de sepia y langostinos, that's sepia and prawn black rice. It was really good and unique, had a lot of flavor and the octopus was really tender. I have really high standards, but this was among the top dishes I had in restaurants. Service was a bit slow, there was a combination of few waiters and one seemingly lazy. On top of that no one really spoke English, but all in all still friendly environment. I tested as well the cod that we ordered, which was full of flavor as well. I really want to stress the amount of flavor in both dishes that was...

Stepped in to eat here after coming from Corralejo to visit the arts center next door. We were attracted by the good reviews, but actually did not expect much - apart from a normal lunch for a family with kids. Ordering (from QR code menu - standard nowadays) was a bit of a struggle as the English menu is not up to date with the more current Spanish one, but a nice and and patient waitress helped us through. The view and "ambiente" overall was very good. The prices were higher ( & drinks smaller) in comparison to other spots on Fuerte so we were waiting for something maybe a little bit special. We left disappointed - one of the milanesas was really dry (like pre-cooked days ago and put into a microwave), and we signalled this to the service but got no explanation. The other dishes were pretty average - combined with the price it left us with kind of "tourist trap" feeling - and after visiting every corner of fuerte many times since 2007 I believe I can make a good judgement. It's really a pity, the place looks really nice, maybe the cook had a bad day? Perhaps someone else had more luck, but we are not going to...

We found this restaurant simply by walking along the waters edge near the port. An afternoon trip into Puerto del Rosario by bus from Caleta del Fuste; we left the hustle and bustle of the capital, escaping the traffic and the shopping/city feel for the sea edge. Yes it's a working dock, but keep walking east along the promenade. What a lovely relaxed find. The restaurant staff spoke English so we asked for Tapas and for them to choose...Oh wow! Delicious!! Great flavours and textures and staff did not overload with too much food. We had freshly made croquettes & meatballs, "chips" which I think was deep fried prosciutto, totally amazing, alongside fresh slices of hard cheese, salad and bread rolls. This doesn't sound exciting, but the food was clean, fresh and so tasty, and most importantly affordable in today's economical market. 25 euros, excluding drinks, a truly enjoyable waterside eatery.
