Overview & Highlights

Welcome to Casa Mediterránea, a delightful Mediterranean restaurant nestled in the heart of Puerto de la Cruz, Santa Cruz de Tenerife. Located at C. Benjamin J. Miranda, 5, this culinary gem invites you to experience the vibrant flavors of Mediterranean cuisine infused with a strong Argentinian influence. The welcoming ambiance and dedicated service make it a must-visit for locals and tourists alike.

At Casa Mediterránea, you’ll find a passionate husband-and-wife team at the helm. The husband, a talented butcher and chef, hand-selects and cuts every piece of meat, ensuring each dish is crafted with quality and care. His wife complements the experience with her warmth and attentiveness, turning every meal into a cherished memory. Customers have described the service as reminiscent of family gatherings, where the personal touch transforms dining into a nurturing experience.

One standout dish is the gambas al ajillo, a delectable starter that showcases perfectly sautéed shrimp in garlic. A sprinkle of bread, as suggested by the chef himself, allows you to soak up the rich, flavorful oil, making it a true delight for your taste buds. Paired with a crisp Argentinian Chardonnay, it sets the tone for an unforgettable meal.

The real star here, however, is the entrecote. This dish redefines what you expect from steak. At first glance, its unique presentation might surprise you, but one bite will reveal its buttery tenderness. Enhanced by a vibrant chimichurri sauce, this steak is a celebration of flavors, especially when enjoyed alongside roasted potatoes as recommended by the knowledgeable staff.

Patrons rave about the Argentinian Malbec from Mendoza, which perfectly complements the rich flavors of the dishes. In the words of a satisfied customer, "This place is a true hidden gem in Puerto de la Cruz. Amazing food, warm service, and an unforgettable experience."

Amazing Argentinian meat! Careful, big portions :) also be wise to bbok in advance. I'm in love with the lady who ownes the place, energetic and friendly service, feels like I'm at my grannies

An Unforgettable Dining Experience with Passion & Quality Casa Mediterránea is small but special—you need a reservation because it’s always full. And once you're here, you’ll understand why. The restaurant is run by a passionate couple: the husband is a highly skilled butcher and chef, cutting the meat himself, while his wife runs the service with warmth and great recommendations. You can feel their dedication in every dish. I started with the gambas al ajillo, and they were absolutely delicious. At first, I thought they needed a little more salt, but the perfectly sautéed garlic pieces balanced everything out beautifully. The chef himself brought the dish to the table and suggested adding bread to soak up the flavorful oil—an amazing tip! Pairing it with the Argentinian Chardonnay made it even better. Then came the entrecote, and wow—this was something else! At first glance, it didn’t look like a traditional entrecote, so I asked. Turns out, the chef cuts the meat himself, selecting the best parts, making it even tenderer and more flavorful than a standard entrecote. It might look different, but once you take a bite, you realize it’s pure buttery softness. The chimichurri was outstanding, adding the perfect balance of herbs and acidity. On the recommendation of the owner, I paired it with roasted potatoes, which turned out to be the perfect match. Of course, I had to go for an Argentinian Malbec from Mendoza, which tied everything together beautifully. This place is a true hidden gem in Puerto de la Cruz. Amazing food, warm service, and an unforgettable experience. Highly recommended!

The staff were incredibly lovely and the food was one of the best ones we had on this island.

Amazing, the owners working in the kitchen and service. They have a lot of food from Argentina and it's delicious

Perfect place with adorable owners! The steak was cooked ideally, tender, high quality Argentinian meat. The owners are very attentive and the prices are very reasonable. Food is cooked with love Highly recommend this place

We were lucky to find this place on our own without any recommendations. The dinner was absolutely amazing, each dish was made with quality and the owners were very accommodating. We ordered octopus, tuna and cheese for starters. Everything was great but I would especially recommend tuna and cheese for a unique sweet combination. We had beef for the main course and I would say it's one of the best steaks I've tried in a while, very flavour. Desserts were great as well, everything was 10/10!

The best lunch we had in Tenerife, amazing quality & very good prices, family business that makes you feel welcome. Amazing entrecote & we recommend the hazelnut liquor, it was a dream! Thank you and we will come back!

Amazing traditional Argentinian food, the service is super friendly, the staff is the best, we couldn’t be more happier with our experience. We ordered the parrillla for 2 ppl.
