About
Local, no-frills spots in Tenerife that started as people’s homes or old wine cellars. Farmers would open their doors to sell their own wine, and to help it go down they’d cook a few simple dishes. No big menus, no fixed opening days, just whatever they’re making and whatever wine they’ve got that year. It’s cheap, it’s local, and it’s about as Canarian as it gets.
Why go
- Real food and real culture
- Proper local food, usually paired with the wine they make themselves
Must try
- Garbanzos (chickpeas and chorizo/pork stew)
- Lapas (grilled limpets)
- Papas arrugadas (boiled potatoes) with mojo sauce
- Battered mushrooms with almogrote
- Ropa vieja
Pro tips
- Don't rely on google, ask locals
- Try to speak in spanish
- Owners may not speak english
- Eat at an authentic guachinche in the north
Good to know
- No set opening times
- Sometimes there's no menu at all
- Can be a literal hole in the wall on the side of the road
