Guachinche la Casona
La Orotava
Guachinche La Casona, located in the heart of La Orotava, is one of those places that instantly conveys the flavor and tradition of Tenerife. It's housed in a typical old Canarian home, with wooden ceilings, whitewashed walls, and an inviting interior courtyard. Its simple yet authentic decor complements the dining experience, which focuses on home-style cooking and the original concept of guachinches: offering homemade food to accompany their own wine.
The menu typically includes essential classics such as papas arrugadas (wrinkled potatoes) with red and green mojo sauce, local cured cheeses, succulent grilled meats, garbanzas compuestas (chickpea stew), and escaldón de gofio (a traditional Canarian dish made with roasted grains), among other dishes that vary seasonally. The house wine, produced in small batches, adds a special touch and completes the experience.
Here, it's not just about eating, but about sharing a moment in a space where the warm hospitality and relaxed atmosphere make visitors feel right at home. La Casona is frequented by both locals and travelers seeking a true immersion in Tenerife's culinary culture. Its location in La Orotava also allows visitors to combine their visit with a stroll through the historic center, considered one of the most beautiful in the Canary Islands.
