You can find La Taberna Puerto Libre at Carmen Monteverde Street, 50, right in the heart of Santa Cruz de Tenerife. The restaurant is known for its menu that mixes Spanish food with international flavors. The food creators from @guachinchesmodernos pointed out influences from Argentina, the Middle East, and Armenia. Some of the dishes they tried and loved were the homemade empanadillas (small turnovers), which come in four-cheese or spicy meat. They also enjoyed the aguachile with passion fruit sauce, which they had heard good things about before.

Their meal continued with an Arabic burrito, featuring minced beef, thin eggplant slices, cherry tomatoes, radishes, and yogurt sauce, all wrapped in Arabic bread. Next, they chose a veal milanesa a la napolitana, praising its generous size and cheesy topping. To finish, they tried a calamari sandwich, made with crystal bread, crispy battered calamari, red onion, and mayonnaise. The restaurant kindly offered them an apple ice cream to end their visit.

The restaurant is described as a cozy spot. It's open from Tuesday to Saturday, with lunch service from 1:30 PM to 4:30 PM and dinner from 7:30 PM to 10:30 PM. It closes on Sundays and Mondays. Even though the content creators didn't have a reservation, they suggest booking ahead because the space is small. Customers seem very happy, giving it a 4.7-star rating on Google. This high rating shows how well its fresh menu has been received in Santa Cruz de Tenerife.
