El Rincón de Pancho is the Los Cristianos option I would use when you want a proper sit-down tasca with Canarian, Castilian and tapas dishes rather than a glossy resort restaurant. The official site says it is a family business open since October 2014, and the online menu is unusually useful: almogrote, queso asado with mojos, bravas Canarias, papas arrugadas, pulpo estilo Canario and cochino negro all have published prices.
The review signal is practical rather than trendy: repeat visitors mention authentic Canarian food, local customers, mojo sauces, Canarian wine help, generous portions and friendly staff. It is closed Sunday and Monday, and email reservations are requested 24 hours in advance, so phone is the cleaner option for same-day planning.

A recent review recommends the restaurant overall, praising the steak and very large portions, while noting the salad felt a bit pricey.

A lunch review after a Los Cristianos excursion praises Iberian secreto, chef-style sirloin with mushroom sauce, made-to-order hot dishes, fries, apple sauce and barraquito after the meal.

A concise review says everything was full of flavour, specifically calling out the mojo sauces, dumplings and homemade tiramisu.

A repeat visitor describes consistently good authentic Canarian cuisine, a restaurant often full of locals, friendly staff, reasonable prices for the quality and recommends booking, especially for the goat dish.
