“ Young and friendly staff, absolutely epic food and best barraquito coffee in the island!! ”
“ If you take potatoe salad, the portion is huuuge even for two people. Try the green peppers, they are fried and salty, liked them a lot. One of them was spicy and red. The wine was also nice and cheap. ”
“ Park here can be tricky and if you arrive after 13:30 you might have to wait for a while. Food was nice and tasty. The only disappointment was Batata con almogrote. ”
“ This was a really nice surprise. It's not easy to find the place, but it's definitely worth the effort. Extremely friendly staff, excellent service, and simple yet very tasty food. The meat was cooked just right, and the potatoes tasted homemade. ”
“ Great local food, really quirky location close to Santa Cruz. Staff are friendly and the menu was better Cañarían so if you want typical food from Tenerife I’d highly recommend stopping by on a drive past. ”
“ I recently visited Guachinche La Cueva de Casiano and it was fantastic! The sweet potato salad was amazing - definitely worth trying! It's a bit of a hidden place but it's worth seeking out. The local Canary food is really good - definitely worth trying if you're looking for a taste of local culture. The local people were really friendly and welcoming too. Highly recommended! ”
“ A wonderful restaurant serving authentic local food. The food is simple and delicious, just like in typical Tenerife homes. The customers are practically all locals. We had lunch here. The cod churros were wonderful (a huge portion), and the mussels were a delicious mistake. The local white wine, made by them, was excellent. We easily got steamed 10 meters from the restaurant. The staff's English is limited, but with the help of a translator, you can manage. A must-try if you want to enjoy authentic cuisine. Plus it's very affordable ”
