Guachinche La Montañita

Visiting Guachinche La Montañita in San Miguel de Abona is like pulling over and immersing yourself in an unpretentious, island-style meal. The place has a rustic and relaxed atmosphere: a spacious dining room, simple tables, and a warm ambiance. What matters here is what's inside—the food, the wine, the conversation—more than the decor.

The menu reflects this approach: appetizers to share that work wonderfully (grilled or fresh cheese, chickpeas, fish fritters), grilled meat dishes like sirloin steak on a hot stone—one of their specialties—ribs with potatoes and pineapple, carne fiesta (a traditional Argentine stew), and homemade desserts like cookie cake or quesillo (a type of flan). They also offer house wine, made in-house, which adds to the authenticity.

What I love about this guachinche is that it feels accessible: it doesn't seem designed just for tourists, but for people who want to eat well, without any fuss, and leave satisfied. The price is reasonable, the portions generous, and the service friendly: they welcome you like old friends, explain the dishes and wine, and that always makes a difference.

The setting also contributes to the experience: it's right next to the road to San Miguel, making it easy to arrive by car, park, and relax. It's not luxurious, but it's authentic, and often that's exactly what you're looking for in Tenerife.

If you're in the south of the island and fancy a traditional Canarian meal that makes you want to linger, with good wine, grilled meat, generous portions, and a relaxed atmosphere, Guachinche La Montañita is the perfect choice. You'll love it if you appreciate authentic, local, and delicious food.
