Bodegón El Puntero

Bodegón El Puntero is one of those traditional Canarian gastronomy temples that every good fish lover must visit in Santa Cruz de Tenerife. Located on the central San Clemente Street, this venue preserves the intact charm of old Tenerife taverns, with that authentic atmosphere that makes you feel at home from the moment you walk through the door.

The menu focuses on the best of the sea with specialties that have won over a legion of local followers: the stewed octopus is one of those dishes that justifies the visit on its own, the tollos in sauce are a true institution, and the fresh tuna with Canarian mojo will remind you why island cuisine is so special. The wrinkled potatoes with green mojo are the perfect accompaniment and have just the right amount of flavor.

The atmosphere can be lively, especially during peak hours when the bar and tables fill up with regular customers who come both to enjoy a full meal and to have something informal. It's advisable to arrive early or with patience, because the wait is always worth it. Closed Sundays and Mondays, so plan your visit to enjoy the authentic Tenerife culinary essence.
