Mediterranean restaurant & pizzeria
4.2 (5)Puerto de la Cruz10-25 €
Pizzeria La Tasquita is a waterfront Mediterranean restaurant in Puerto de la Cruz that happens to make very good pizza. The menu reaches beyond pizza into pasta, risotto, pork cheeks and a large drinks list, so it works well for groups that do not all want the same thing.
The strongest recent praise is for thin, crisp, generously topped pizza, reasonable prices and the lively setting by the sea. Service feedback is mixed, including one very poor restroom/service complaint, so choose it for the food range and location rather than expecting a flawless front-of-house experience.

Party of four, out of season so no wait, drinks menu is out of this world! Huge. Food amazing, I had pork cheeks in red wine, total convert never had it before will order evey time I see it now! My wife had the smoked salmon pasta in squid ink and pesto sauce (giganti negro, i think) also banging. We had starters mains and several rounds of drinks for €170. Friendly service, clean establishment.

Our favourite restaurant from our trip to Tenerife, the carbonara was fresh and they didn’t skimp on the ingredients and flavour at all, and the mushroom risotto was beautiful!

I do think the place is serving the best pizza, they were so good, and big. Nice pizza base, thin and very crispy, lots of toppings. The pricing for the pizza is spot on . The size of the pizza was enough for 2 people, if not that hungry. The staff was good. I will recommend this place to everyone and I will be back next time I'm in Tenerife.

A small cozy place next to the sea, located in a lively area with several other nice spots around. The decoration, atmosphere, and overall look immediately caught our attention, even though we didn’t quite know what to expect at first.
We quickly received the menu and the prices were very reasonable. €6.50 for an Aperol Spritz is really not bad, especially in such a location.
We decided to go for the pizzas and they were absolutely amazing. Great crust, generously topped, and the flavor was outstanding, easily a 5-star taste experience.
The service was also very good: friendly people and a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere. Definitely recommended!

In our experience, this establishment turned out to be unpleasant. We were rudely denied access to the restroom, and this happened more than once. The service was unprofessional, and overall, we were left very dissatisfied. We do not recommend visiting this place. And I am attaching photos of the specific staff member who was rude to us.
