La Cueva Caprichosa

When I step into La Cueva Caprichosa, the first thing I notice is that I'm not in just any restaurant. The place is set inside a natural cave, with volcanic rock walls enveloping the entire space and creating a very special, almost refuge-like atmosphere. This setting already shapes the experience: here you come to sit down without rushing and enjoy both the ambiance and the food.

The menu revolves around Canarian cuisine and grilled meats. It's a place designed for eating well and leaving satisfied, with generous portions and familiar dishes. The menu features classics like wrinkled potatoes with mojo sauce, grilled cheese, potato salad, and mushrooms, alongside meats such as Iberian pork shoulder, ribs, chops, and T-bone steaks, all grilled to perfection. They focus on flavor, perfect doneness, and honest portions.

The space is ample and divided into several areas within the cave itself, which means that even when full, it doesn't feel cramped. Outside, there's private grounds and parking, which makes visiting much easier. The atmosphere is usually lively, with large tables, groups, and families, and that constant aroma of grilled food that accompanies all the dishes.

The service is friendly and direct, without excessive formality, in keeping with the type of restaurant it is. La Cueva Caprichosa works especially well when you're craving something different from the usual, without straying from familiar cuisine. For me, it's a place you go more for the complete experience—the location, the food, and the ambiance—than for a specific dish, and that's precisely what makes it special.
