El Escondite de Lucas

Stepping into Guachinche El Escondite de Lucas is like discovering a Canarian restaurant that exudes authenticity. Located in the El Sobradillo neighborhood of Santa Cruz de Tenerife, the feeling is clear from the moment you sit down: this is a place to eat well and savor the moment, not just pass through.

The atmosphere is welcoming and relaxed, with a terrace that invites you to linger and a simple yet comfortable interior dining room. It's not a sophisticated establishment, nor does it aspire to be; rather, it's a space where Canarian cuisine is served with character and without fuss.

The menu blends classic dishes with creative twists: you can start with Canarian cheeses, continue with chickpea stew or escaldón (a Canarian dish) that respect tradition, and then move on to dishes like huevos rotos (broken eggs), fish churros, octopus, or risottos that stand out for their flavor and quality ingredients. There are also reinterpretations like tortilla gomera (a Canarian omelet), saquitos de la abuela (grandma's pastry pouches), or pollo a la canasta (chicken in a basket) that surprise without losing their identity. One of the stars of this restaurant is undoubtedly almogrote (a Canarian cheese spread), featured in several dishes.

What stands out most is the attentive service: friendly, efficient, and always ready to recommend what to try. It's not uncommon to see the place packed, filled with families, groups of friends, or locals who keep coming back. Reservations are recommended to avoid disappointment.

If you're looking for authentic Canarian cuisine with character, a relaxed atmosphere, and good prices in Santa Cruz, this restaurant is worth your time. It's the kind of place you go in on a recommendation, sit down, and end up planning your return trip.
