Agua Viva - Granadilla de Abona

We visited at lunch, the restaurant was busy but not full. One waiter was serving drinks and other was taking food orders. We got the drinks but had to wait 20 minutes until the food waiter could come to the table. Pizzas were just okay and it took another 10 minutes to get the bill from the food waiter. There are many food options in El Medano I would avoid this one.

Where to begin? First arrived and was sat at a table without any cutlery or plates. Was made to feel rushed when asked to order. Food came out and was covered in oil we ordered 1 pizza and a spagetti plate with chicken and vegetables, a las there was no vegetables to talk of and the pasta was swimming in oil to the point where I couldn't eat it. No staff approached us throughout our meal and had to ask for the bill 3 times yet was ignored I had to then finally get up and go to the bar area for the bill needless to say will never go there again and will advise everyone to steer clear!!!!

Has this restaurant changed hands? We visited twice in March and it was excellent so we booked a birthday meal here in November. Big mistake. We took friends with us so we were a party of four. We ordered Dorada , chicken and a steak. The fish two of us had was over cooked and dried up with potatoes that were very stale , accompanied by just a tomato , no salad. The chicken dish was inedible it was so tough, and the steak was also tough and over cooked. The Dorada was 16 euros as was the steak . We complained but no apology was forthcoming . We live in Tenerife all winter each year and can honestly say this was the worst meal we have ever had in Tenerife

Tried this place because the one we had intended was unexpectedly closed, and very glad we did.Obviously didn't know what we should choose, picked Goat's cheese with mojo excellent start. Then mixed Paella, very nice, good portion (so much so we had a takeaway for the next day). Not bad prices for the center of the resort Starter €7.70 and Paella for 2 €28, and barraquito for €2 each. Staff friendly and attentive it started to cool so, unprompted, they brought over and lit one of their gas heaters.

Being right on the promenade, we weren't sure what to expect, but we needn't have been concerned. Superb tagliatelli with steak and mushrooms and a devine vegetarian linguinni
