In the heart of San Andrés is an authentic gastronomic temple that has been able to conquer all kinds of palates for more than six decades. The restaurant Los Pinchitos is not only a reference in the local cuisine, but has managed to become a symbol of tradition and culinary innovation based on hard work, passion and dedication. Known for its specialty rice dishes and its selection of fresh fish and seafood, among other dishes, this iconic establishment has deservedly earned a privileged place in the island's gastronomic scene.

Since its founding in 1960 by Juan Alberto Cabello López and his wife, Los Pinchitos has been a family business that has passed from generation to generation maintaining that flavor of yesteryear that they have been able to preserve so well. Today, under the direction of Iván Hernández Cabello, grandson of the founders, the restaurant maintains the essence of its origins, but with a touch of modernity that enhances each dish and turns each visit into a memorable experience worth living. "It is important to keep evolving in our way of working, because it is clear to us that tradition and modernity can be fused in an effective and respectful way, obtaining truly satisfactory results," emphasizes Iván Hernández.

And although any time is the ideal time to visit the restaurant located in this picturesque corner of Santa Cruz, this Easter, Los Pinchitos becomes the favorite destination for those looking to enjoy the best fresh fish of the day, carefully selected to ensure quality and flavor in every bite. From wreckfish on the back to a fried mackerel, salema, or an old stew, the marine flavors star in a menu that combines traditional recipes with contemporary proposals that surprise the most demanding diners.

"A family business that was founded in 1960 and today is run by Iván Hernández Cabello".

In addition to fish, rice dishes are the soul of the house. From a mellow shrimp meloso to a mixed paella that fuses the best of the sea and the land, each dish is prepared with top quality ingredients and the know-how of a team passionate about gastronomy, including the spectacular ceviche that must be tasted. "I like to innovate and improve my dishes to always offer something special to our customers," says Iván, who has managed to position the restaurant as one of the most highly rated in Tenerife, with more than 7,000 reviews on Google that endorse its excellence.

The success of Los Pinchitos is not only due to its impeccable cuisine, but also to its cozy atmosphere and the close treatment offered to its customers. Many of them don't even ask for the menu, trusting fully in the recommendations of Iván and his team. "There are those who tell me to put whatever I want, because they know that anything will be good," says the owner proudly. And the restaurant is accessible to all budgets and all types of customers, an aspect that is part of the greatness of this temple of good cuisine.
