Tapas Pata de Oro — Restaurant in San Miguel de Abona

One day, we ordered the meatballs in tomato sauce and found them absolutely delicious. Impressed by the taste, we returned the very next day and ordered the same dish. Unfortunately, this time the tomato sauce was noticeably watered down. As a result, the flavors were much weaker—the spices were barely noticeable, and the tomato presence was minimal. We brought this to the staff's attention, but they seemed uninterested and did not address our concern.

Edit: We actually told the waitress twice — once during the meal, and again at the end. So it’s honestly both ridiculous and kind of funny to read the false claims in your reply. The waitress said, the food was “the same as yesterday” and “no water was added,” then what were we supposed to do? It was obvious that nothing would be done about it, and we were going to pay for it anyway — which we did. And yes, we did finish the food — after we complained. What’s even more surprising is that you took a photo of the empty plate after we had already voiced our concerns, and you're now using that as some kind of proof that everything was fine. Honestly, I have no comment. Maybe instead of taking a photo of an empty plate, you should’ve actually checked the food while it was still on the table. Don’t you think? Also, the suggestion that we were just trying to get the food for free is completely false. We paid for our meals on both days — around 90 euros each visit. Based on your response, it seems that spending that amount isn’t enough for your restaurant to treat people with basic respect. If it’s acceptable to serve watered-down food and then mock paying guests online, that says a lot. We came back the second day because the food was genuinely great the first time. If it hadn’t been, we simply wouldn’t have returned. So your assumptions don’t make any sense. It’s honestly disappointing to see a restaurant post this kind of response instead of taking feedback seriously. Judging from other reviews, this isn’t the first time someone has had a similar experience. Hopefully, things will improve and your future guests will be treated with more...

This place has way too many stars. What an underwhelming experience overall and later a completely terrible experience. I’ll start off by saying service is inexistent. I suppose if you’re used to coming from a country that service is subpar, then this might be normal to you. But we were ultimately ignored throughout our entire dinner, having to flag down anyone to order, having our orders being messed up (and we are fluent in Spanish, so language can’t be the issue here) and having our drinks never come to the table. Subpar. Next to food, really nothing spectacular or exciting, nothing that I can comment on that was actually good, nothing that I would order again or recommend anybody. That being said, we ordered 8 different dishes, so I feel like if you need to order more than that in order to get one good dish, you’re at a bad start. Now it goes from bad to worse, both my husband and I got food poisoning from this outing and we’re out of commission for 48 hours. I would not recommend this place especially if you are on vacation. It’s just not worth your...

Terrible food. Totally disappointing. And no, I didn't get the wrong restaurant, I also attach a photo of the menu as they deny having 'fried catch local fish' which is, however, served in the form of an oil-filled nuggets (photo added since the restaurant denies - shame!)

I had dinner here and it was one of the worst meals I’ve ever had.

The so-called “catch of the day” was just a few deep-fried croquettes, soaked in oil — not fresh fish, not even close. They tasted processed and had nothing to do with real seafood.

The sole fillet was overcooked and drowning in a strange buttery or creamy sauce with mushrooms that tasted awful. The fish was dry, the sauce was heavy, and the whole dish made no sense.

And the “Canarian potatoes”? Just plain boiled potatoes, undercooked, and served without the traditional sauces (no mojo rojo, no mojo verde — nothing). Completely wrong and very bland.

Overall, the food was lazy, greasy, and badly made. It felt like a tourist trap pretending to serve quality food — but failing...
