A bit difficult to find (at the far right end of Plaza Manuel Ballesteros) follow the steps down and you arrive in a wonderfull cosy restaurant. Tambo is great, very fresh fish, lovely staff and if you are lucky a fantastic view over the see. Enjoy enjoy!!!

Simple as it gets. Great atmosphere and view. Walk by foot at this lovely neighborhood that reminds a bit Barceloneta. Take the mixed dish for two and lick your fingers in the end.

Not having two lobsters available we shared the fish platter and had fried squid rings to start. Both were very good and the service was great. The location overlooks the sea and it is very pleasant to take a seat outside so you can hear the waves crashing in. It is a little tricky to find best to approach by... More

Not easy to find this hidden place but defenitely worth to go. Very simple cozy restaurant with nice ocean view. Food is simple but really good. We liked very much octopus and sardines for the startes. Fresh fish as a main course was good as well. Perfect price/quality ratio.

After having visited Tambo earlier in the year, and being very impressed with the service and quality of food, I was eagerly anticipating my next visit. We went into the restaurant to be told that there were unlikely to be any spaces to seat us, but a place was found (even though the restaurant had only one other couple in... More

There is nothing fancy about Tambo in terms of decor but this is the place to come if you love really fresh fish properly cooked and not messed about with inappropriate ingredients. Good garlic prawns to start followed by whole Dorada & whole Sea Bass served with Canarian potatoes and a well dressed salad. A few better bottles are scheduled... More

This restaurant is a gem, for its spectacular location and its abundant fish platters for reasonable prices. It was amazingly empty an Thursday evening in high season November.
