El Caldero - Santa Cruz de Tenerife

Great location. Popular. Unsmiling staff. We ate here twice for lunch but the food we chose was pretty ordinary (sardines that were no more than big whitebait, a caprese salad with rubbery cheese). Maybe we chose badly, but although we would go back for a drink, we won’t eat here again.

Local tapas place. Food very good quality, good value. Service ok. Perfect location next to the waves. Very simple place

We have been coming to ‘El Caldero’ for many years for their amazing Paella. The tapas food is also amazing but their Paella is honestly amazing. I’ve read some reviews of the waiters being ‘grumpy’ I’ve never experienced this but I have witnessed them struggling to understand some English visitors that make absolutely zero effort to order and talk in Spanish. Wonderful view and amazing food at a excellent price

In the menu mark two tapas or rations that we came friends to eat and ask for squid rations, chops and chipirones. very little amount for the price the truth a little discontent.

This restaurant is by the sea. Great food and freindly efficient staff. A good extensive tapas and seafood menu.
