“ Little MeXiCo in Tenerife!!! The closest you can be to Mexico food in Tenerife! The place is located in the hearth of Santa Cruz, surrounded of great atmosphere “el chapulin” restaurant has the real taste of Mexican food, not tex Mex, I am talking about good original Mexican food. The menu is full of the most important dishes from Mexico, the tortillas flavour are like been in Mexico what is the most complicated part of the food to find in other countries. Starting with a good chelada (beer with lime juice and salt), and guacamole what is typical in Mexico and after that you have plenty of options from the menu. Considering that is an international cousin the prices are not that bad and the place is pretty clean. The service is an extra star I will give to this place. The staff is very friendly and servicial, they treat you with the warm attitude like in Mexico. The food is served very fast and ambient is very nice. You can choice if you want spicy food or not spicy but remember if you are not used to spicy food do not committed a suicided jajajaja or if you want to try it ask to the staff about “la vengan a de Moctezuma” jejejeje. Finish a gud meal or your dinner with a good tequila shot. Enjoy this great place that brought a little peace of MeXiCo to TENERIFE. ”
