About

Taberna Tio Martin is a Playa de las Americas taberna for people who want Spanish and Canarian plates with more local character than a generic resort menu. Reviews point to croquetas caseras, rocas de bacalao, octopus with Martivilli Vero wine, fresh squid and well-seasoned dishes that feel cared for.

The value signal is mixed. Several guests praise generous portions and efficient service, while one recent review found portions small for the money. Order the stronger named dishes, especially croquetas and bacalao, and treat it as a local-flavoured tapas meal rather than unlimited cheap plates.

A recent negative review says portions felt very small for the money, while acknowledging the food is traditional; included to keep value expectations realistic.
