Spanish restaurant more suited to a lunch time meal but gets very busy so arriving around mid day should guarantee a table.Rustic surrounding with no frills but great local produce and quick service.We had the sword fish(huge) and cuttle fish(7euros each) with a tomato salad(2.50 euros).We have had the chicken wings and sardine dishes in the past (both 7 euros...

We always go to El Cine for its delicious fresh food and service. The staff are very friendly and the food is simple but very tasty! I recommend: Canarian Potatoes, Hake, Chicken Wings, Salad and Prawns!!

We discovered this restaurant towards the end of our holidays, which was a shame as i think we would have visited it more often if we had had more time. the fish was fresh and cooked perfectly but there is not a big menu and there is little in the way of veg - in fact i think there is... More

Try and find this little gem of a restaurant.. It is located near the fishing harbour/ferry terminal at Los Cristianos, its positioned up a small alley hiding behind some shops. If you're lucky enough to find it (just look for the queue of people patiently waiting for a table) then give this place a shot. The food is totally authentic... More

this place is hidden up an alley way but it attracts us back there like a magnet. The food is simple, fresh, well presented & the fish dishes are out of this world for taste. If you don't get there early at Lunchtime be prepared to wait for a tables as the locals & all other past diners know where... More

A unique location hidden away beneath an awning down an alleyway, some people never find it! We have been visiting El Cine for years and the food is consistently good. My daughter lives in Barcelona and she rates the tapas as good as any there. The surroundings may seem a bit austere but this in my mind adds to its... More

I was disappointed as the menu was limited- Only one salad so no green option. I was also disappointed with the setting - Hidden away yes, but no atmosphere and no views. The only saving grace was the food was good and plentiful.
