Ecuadorian Dishes
When you go to Pollos Mari in Los Cristianos, you're coming for well-prepared and hearty Latin American food without breaking the bank. It's a small but very popular spot, frequented by both tourists and locals, and that's reflected in the relaxed and welcoming atmosphere.
What stands out most is how they prepare their chicken, especially the spicy and garlic chicken, which comes out golden brown and bursting with flavor, accompanied by homemade fries that maintain that perfect crispness you look for in this type of dish. It's not gourmet or haute cuisine, but it is tasty and very honest, perfect if you want a satisfying lunch or dinner without any fuss.
The menu blends Ecuadorian and local dishes with options that might remind you of Mediterranean cuisine, and the portions are usually generous, which is always a plus for me if I'm hungry or in a group. Many visitors recommend trying their chicken specialties, soups, and some more traditional versions that aren't typical of other tourist spots.
The service is another highlight. The staff and owners usually greet you with a smile and a friendly attitude, more like a family business than an impersonal chain. I appreciate that this human connection is also evident when taking orders or when they ask for suggestions on what to try.
The restaurant isn't large or luxurious, nor is it on a pedestrian promenade lined with outdoor cafes, but its central location near the beach makes it very convenient if you're strolling through Los Cristianos and want to stop for a tasty and uncomplicated meal.
In short, for me, Pollos Mari is the kind of place you go when you want flavorful, home-style Latin American food, generous portions, and friendly service at quite competitive prices for the area.

What to see
La Hoya
The hamlet of La Hoya, in San Miguel de Abona, is one of those places that helps you understand what life was like in southern Tenerife before tourism.

More than just a court, it's a social meeting place where camaraderie, laughter, and healthy competition keep alive a deeply rooted custom in the Canary Islands.
Beaches
Playa de los Cristianos Puerto
Los Cristianos Beach, next to the port of the same name, is one of the most iconic beaches in southern Tenerife.

From the shore, you can observe the activity of the fishing port and the departure of ferries to La Gomera, combining a local atmosphere with the maritime charm of a traditional coastal town.
Nightlife

This beach club, located right on the seafront in one of the quietest areas of Los Cristianos, is ideal for enjoying a leisurely cocktail and stretching out the afternoon until sunset.

The atmosphere is relaxed, with music and a DJ, perfect for quiet get-togethers with friends or even for working from home with ocean views. It's not a place for formal dining, but rather for savoring the experience, the friendly service, and the sunset as the main attraction.
