My husband and I recently enjoyed a 2 course menu del dia whilst on holiday in Villamartin. The restaurant was immaculate with plenty of waiting staff. I ordered the garlic mushrooms to start and the rump steak with chips and pepper corn sauce for the main. My husband selected the meatballs in tomato sauce for his starter and the chicken and vegetable skewer served with coleslaw and chips for his main. The meal came with a coffee, but we also ordered cheesecake for dessert. The meals were fantastic and the homemade food tasted delicious made with quality ingredients. The restaurant had a full bar and the drinks were very reasonable. The staff were attentive and we would definitely recommend the food because it was fantastic value for money

The food in this restaurant is truly some of the nicest & most authentic I’ve eaten.
Tapas cooked with Love and care that was delicious and succulent. The meatballs tasted like a grandmas’ recipe that she’d been doing for years, the calamari was tender and, oh, it was all VERY good.
I don’t rate food much above an 8/10 if it’s really good. This was all a 9/10.
Thanks Mike and all the staff đź‘Ś

We ate here three times in the last two weeks so it must have been good!
We are a difficult family to feed. Three vegans (2 under 5), 1 vegetarian, 1 gluten free (coeliac) plus two fussy eaters. We all found delicious and suitable items on each occasion.
The staff are very helpful and knowledgeable about the menu and how items are cooked and prepared and everything was fantastic value and tasted great.
The house wine was good, but their speciality local wine list was very good indeed, as were the set food menus.
Steve (the owner) went out of his way to ensure my food was 100% GF and I felt great after eating.
The little vegans loved it and Steve and his team made us all very welcome.
So if you have special dietary requirements and expect great food at very reasonable prices, definitely eat here. We will be back.

This restaurant tries to be different, and achieves it by charging more than anywhere else around, whilst delivering a substandard main experience
You could get the same tapas at half the price with better service in any other restaurant
I’ve never had patats bravas served as crinkle cut chips.
First time for everything I suppose, and it will be the last time for me.
This tapas restaurant does not know what it’s doing

It's not "crinkle cut", it's cut that way for texture... For a guy from Iceland you don't sound very much like a guy from Iceland .... Wonder why that is. Hi Kevin! Still obsessed with your potatoes? Maybe remove a few from your behind and stop being such a sad little man. Have a great day!?

Absolutely awful mostly vegan options but we had two steaks that you could sole your shoes with one awful burger which was inedible and a rack of ribs as tough as old boots. Side dish of uncooked mushrooms and onions burnt to a crisp. That coupled with with a couple of drinks for the princely sum of 156 euros next time I’ll take the family to McDonalds

This restaurant is a tourist trap with an arrogant owner.
Two weeks ago I checked out the restaurant on FB. Menu del dĂa was shown on a photo: starter, main, coffee and a drink for 10€.
When I went there today, the menu showed that menu del dĂa was 15 €, but I still went ahead thinking it could be a mistake, and if not a mistake, the excellent reviews praising the food, would make up for the high price.
The starters were nice/ok. The mains were a huge disappointment. Both my husbands meat burger and my vegan tacos were well below average quality. The bill was 33,50€ for 2 menu del dĂa and a bottle of water.
When I got home I checked FB and the menu was updated a week ago. The price had increased to 12,50€ for menu del dĂa. So in two weeks the price goes from 10 € (including a drink) to 15€ (not including a drink).
So I decide to write a text to the restaurant telling about my experience to give them a chance to explain the poor quality and high price.
The owner writes me a very arrogant answer telling me that nobody forced me to eat at his restaurant.
It is a mystery to me this restaurant has good reviews.

The menu is very small with not many options except greasy food. As a local the drinks are very expensive, our bill was over €80 for three people, two starters to share, 3 burgers & 4 drinks… a soft drink two wines & a large beer. To be fare the burgers were OK but definitely doesn’t justify the price. Staff were very friendly & polite so still gave a good tip

We had a great tapas Dinner at this restaurant. The welcome was good, we got the reserves table, and then it starts. Quick follow up on drinks, since we had a good walk and was thursty, it was served fast to everyone. We had a look at the menu and then the walter did follow up on any Q’s that we had, and he also gave an good explenation on the different selections on the menu. And recomend what to share and the size of the different options. The follow up on both complementary of drinks and the renovasjon of dishes that was finished up.
Absoluttely and good recomendation for a good tapas Dinner.

The Hen’s Teeth is always on our restaurant list when we visit Villamartin. The food is great and there’s always a great atmosphere.
This was our first visit since their renovations and the inside is now much fresher and brighter. However, if the Plaza is busy and the weather is good, it’s best to sit outside where there is more atmosphere.
We usually have the tapas dishes which are excellent. This time we opted for steak and for lamb cutlets. The steak was well cooked (and the portion was huge) and the lamb cutlets were excellent. We certainly didn’t go hungry.
We paid around €70 for beer, G&T, title of wine, two main meals and coffees. So it’s not the cheapest place around here but the quality is excellent and I’d say it’s worth every penny. This was our first visit for 18 months and it didn’t disappoint.
They are always very busy so do book ahead if possible. The staff run around non-stop but the service was brisk and staff took time to stop and talk and advise on the menu. The staff are all friendly and knowledgable and this adds to the experience.

Came here for a family meal, really warm welcome in a busy place staff were wonderful. Food choice was varied and we took advantage of some suggestions on wine, also having some spectacular daiquiris. Busy place, but wasn’t left too long waiting. Many things covered in chopped coriander which half of our party dislike (not mentioned on the menu - maybe worth omitting or mentioning either way). Tuna was asked for pink and arrived over cooked but tasted ok but not as enjoyable. It was removed from the bill by the team when mentioned without an apology. Worth a visit

Amazing dining experience at the Hen’s Teeth Villa Martin. We travelled here from our holiday resort especially to sample their vegan dishes as we had visited the Green Hen last year. We were not disappointed! A wonderful evening with delicious food and excellent service. As we were a group of mostly vegan/ vegetarian we were so delighted with the amount of choice available to us! We all had a wonderful meal and cannot recommend it highly enough! Particularly enjoyed the aubergine in honey!
Can’t wait to visit again!

Taken to this Restaurant by friends to try the Menu of the day. Not a great deal to choose from but we gave it a go because we were with friends. The starters were not too bad but nothing to write home about. There was Sirloin Steak on the menu of the day which came at an extra cost of €4 and 4 people had this. Not one of them enjoyed the Steak and they all never finished even half of it. I myself had Taco’s which I could not eat because the spice mixed in with the meat was not to my liking at all. We even questioned the deal for a bottle of Cava on the menu because the wording needs improvement. We did not complain because we did not want to upset the people who took us there. Sorry to say not one of us will return they all said it was the worse Steak they have ever had.

Beautiful food. The tapas - especially the prawn and the meatballs dishes - were absolutely delicious.
Decor classy, and all the staff are efficient and friendly.
We've been a few times now, and we'll certainly be back!

Ate at Hen's Teeth but there was just something missing in both atmosphere and food quality. We ordered tapas to start but unfortunately did not find them appetising. Due to this we did not order main courses. Waiters removing dishes and plates before everyone was finished eating did not sit well with us but maybe this is a Spanish thing.

We went as a family of 9 with an age range of 3 - 68 years old and we all had the best meal of our trip! We are a mixture of meat eaters, vegetarians and vegans and all had the most wonderful meals and cocktails. There was plenty of choice to accommodate all our dietary needs. The staff were excellent in all aspects of our night - they were friendly, attentive and had great knowledge of the menu and ingredients. We visit this area often and will certainly be back again!
