What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
This restaurant is celebrated for its authentic Canary Island cuisine and generous portions, offering great value. Diners praise the friendly local atmosphere and the delicious, home-style cooking. However, some have experienced issues with menu availability and service, particularly during peak hours or late in the evening, leading to disappointment for a few.
"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 😉"

"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."
Antonio Rianna
"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!"
