Bodega el Zacatín

Visiting Bodega El Zacatín is to fully immerse yourself in the culinary traditions of northern Tenerife. This establishment, located at Calle La Canal 11 in the La Corujera neighborhood of Santa Úrsula, operates as a guachinche (a traditional Canarian eatery): house wine, simple dishes, and an authentic atmosphere. Their specialty is grilled meats—churrasco (grilled steak), chicken, and pork skewers—served with fries or simple side dishes. They also offer appetizers such as fresh cheese or fabada (Asturian bean stew) as starters.

The wine is as important a star as the food: their own production under the Tacoronte-Acentejo Designation of Origin, made by the owning family, which gives it character and uniqueness. When the vintage runs out, the establishment temporarily closes until the next harvest. It's situated on a steep mountain road, adding a touch of adventure to the arrival. The atmosphere is warm, welcoming, and unpretentious, and the feeling of being in a cozy corner of home is palpable.

What sets Bodega ElZacatín apart is its commitment to a traditional model: a small menu, generous portions, its own wine list, and a ambiance that prioritizes authenticity over sophistication. If you enjoy good food, made with quality ingredients, in a simple, distraction-free setting, this is the place for you. For me, it's a must-visit if you're in Santa Úrsula and appreciate local cuisine, a well-prepared grill, and that authentic guachinche flavor.
