Must-try dishes
Burritos
Tacos

Don Quicacho, the Mexican food stall in Garachico, is a truly unique spot that clearly embraces the concept of authentic street food. It's not your typical restaurant: it's a food stand that opens directly onto the street, with no tables or indoor dining area. Here, you order your food at the counter, pick it up on a tray, and enjoy it on the public benches along the seafront promenade right in front, with the sea as your backdrop.

The system is simple, and that's part of its charm. The food is prepared fresh, the service is quick and friendly, and the atmosphere is completely informal. It's the perfect place for a quick, tasty, and uncomplicated bite, especially when combined with a stroll through Garachico or a swim at El Caletón beach.

The project stands out for its commitment to homemade, artisanal Mexican food, prepared by the owners themselves, who are dedicated to both flavor and quality. The excellent value for money is one of its greatest strengths and one of the reasons it's so highly recommended by both locals and visitors.

Despite its simple format, Don Quicacho has made a name for itself thanks to its consistency, friendly service, and authentic approach. There are no frills or elaborate decorations: everything revolves around honest, well-prepared food, served quickly and with a friendly touch.

It's an accessible, practical, and unique spot, ideal for those seeking a casual, tasty, and authentic dining experience. Don Quicacho doesn't pretend to be anything more than it is, and that's precisely where its success lies: well-prepared Mexican street food, right on the waterfront, and uncomplicated. A must-visit in Garachico.

Where to eat

Mesón del Norte

If you're in the Las Portelas area and fancy some authentic Canarian food, Mesón del Norte is a sure bet. Here you'll find traditional dishes, generous portions, and a charming village bar atmosphere. It's a simple, unpretentious place where you can eat well at a good price, ideal for stopping after a day exploring the Masca or Teno area. It's also one of the highest-rated restaurants on the island for meat.

What to see

Tensei Tenmoku

If you enjoy discovering hidden gems while strolling through Garachico, Tensei Tenmoku will captivate you. It's a contemporary sculpture called "Gate Without a Door," created in Carrara marble by the artist Kan Yasuda and placed facing the sea at the fishing pier. You walk up to it, admire it from different angles, and each time it transforms against the backdrop of the blue Atlantic—it's one of those places that always looks great in photos and simply makes you smile.

Activities

Caña y Ron

Caña y Ron is an agricultural and cultural project in Icod de los Vinos that revives the historical cultivation of sugarcane in Tenerife and connects it with the artisanal production of rum. It's a living farm where you can learn, walk, taste, and understand a key part of the islands' history.

Beaches

Charco Don Gabino

Charco Don Gabino, in Los Silos, is a coastal gem in northern Tenerife where lava and the sea merge into a natural pool of clear, calm waters. Away from mass tourism, it retains a relaxed, local atmosphere. It's easily accessible and offers a perfect spot for swimming, fishing, or the simple pleasure of gazing at the Atlantic from an authentic, unpretentious setting.

Sports

Ciclismo - Ruta 1

One of the most spectacular cycling routes in northern Tenerife: the circular route that starts in Garachico and climbs toward Erjos, passes through Santiago del Teide, descends the winding Masca ravine, and returns along the coast through Buenavista. Volcanic landscapes, pine forests, hairpin bends, and views of the Atlantic make this demanding route a classic for cyclists seeking both physical challenge and natural beauty.
