"I hate to judge a place on one visit, but then again as a tourist sometimes you only get one chance. We wanted to eat at a Guachinche, which is a local farm/vinyard serving rustic homestyle cooking in a rustic setting. After looking online at a number of them we chose this one. It fit the bill local, funky, great looking food with a killer view. We arrived at 4pm on a Saturday thinking the lunch crowd would have dissipated but instead were confronted with a very long line. It didn 't much matter as the line snaked around the grill where all the meats were being cooked so I was able to observe and ask questions.It looked wonderful and we anticipated a great steak. Over an hour later we were seated. Mind you the tables were empty for at least 30 minutes except for piles of dirty dishes but there was very few waitstaff and they were hustling. I 'm still okay with that because getting a perfectly grilled steak is always worth the wait. But, and this is a big but, it was the worst steak we ever had. It was so overdone you could not cut it. We then tried to eat it with our fingers and could not even get a bite out of it it was so tough. It was the Entrecôte which needs to be cooked medium rare. So it was left on the serving plate just as we got it. Thank goodness we ordered the oven baked pork as well. Although it was fatty (I 'm ok with that too) and didn 't look like the lean slices seen on other diners photos, it was very tasty, moist and tender. We ordered the garlic sauce to go with it which was perfect. That and the fried potatoes, mixed salad and flan we were well satiated but confused that they had grossly overcooked our steak. I mentioned it to the waiter who spoke English and he just nodded. He could see that we didn 't eat it but he didn 't seem concerned or ask why. I was half expecting them, actually more than half, to take the steak off the bill but they did not. So unfortunately I can 't rate this place as I would like to. Although it wasn 't as expected it was still quite an experience. One note do not approach from Mount Teide with google maps or you will end up going down a very, very steep and narrow road which our tiny car almost didn 't make it. We were glad there was another road out which was coming from Orotava. PS if you do go don 't order the entrecôte or if you do ask for it medium rare!"

La comida rica, el atendimiento algo disperso, lo peor es comer mientras fuman. Las vistas muy bonitas

A cosy hidden local restaurant with great food to offer. Very typical, great house wine and good food. Will recommend to try tostones con guacamole.

El mejor Guachinche en el que he estado sin duda. La comida un 100/10 (el arroz cubano buenísimo) y el paisaje con vistas al Teide... El dueño fue muy agradable, los camareros también. Muy buena decisión ir, si vuelvo a Tenerife volveré sin dudarlo. View menu

Muy buen sitio, tanto en la comida como en los precios. El trato de las camareras (Andrea Gómez y Laura Hernández) fue muy bueno, muy pendiente a los detalles y a todo general. Muchísimas gracias, hasta la próxima vez que visitemos la isla, que será pronto. Un Saludo.

Uno de los mejores guachinches en que hemos estado a nivel de comida. Las vistas espectaculares. Había muchísima gente, era sábado, y tuvimos que esperar una hora, pero mereció la pena. El dueño es un encanto y la familia muy buena gente y muy trabajadores. La garbanza riquísima y todo lo demás. El polvito uruguayo también muy bueno. El vino de casa rico.

Un guachinche idóneo para comer comida típica canaria exquisita, barata y con muy buenas vistas al Teide. Llegamos al restaurante entre las 13 y las 14 horas y fue un acierto, porque a partir de las 14 horas se comenzó a formar cola para entrar a comer. Probamos varios de los platos disponibles como entrantes, todos exquisitos. También pedimos un pollo hecho a la brasa que tardó excesivamente en llegar desde que lo pedimos y de ahí que solo ponga 4 estrellas en la valoración. Bebimos agua y vino blanco del lugar (muy suave y afrutado). Para resumir, la visita al lugar fue interesante, comimos muy bien y estuvimos bastante a gusto. View menu

Un lugar ESPECTACULAR!!! Fuimos a comer 8 y pedimos varias cositas…una de croquetas (1 croqueta para cada uno), ropa vieja (la carne muy tierna), queso fresco que estaba buenísimo, huevos estrellados y para compartir un pollo a la brasa, secreto y medio cochino con papas fritas. Vino blanco y tinto, 1 botella de agua, varias pepsi y servicio de pan. El precio me pareció bastante barato para lo bien que comimos. El total fueron 89,50€ y por cabeza como unos 11,25€. A pesar de estar lleno, la comida salió bastante rápido y la atención muy buena. Recomiendo reservar y si no ir bastante temprano porque se llena mucho. El aparcamiento es limitado pero si llegas temprano se aparca bien y se puede...

This is as Canarian as it gets and the Food is superb for what it is with a very low price tag. We ate here twice, once at 5.30pm where it only had 2 other groups and another at 3pm where we had to queue for around 45 minutes. I think others booked and still had to queue DO NOT LET THIS PUT YOU OFF!!! We had more of a Spanish experience here than anywhere before on the Island and this is our 8th visit. The restaurant is a proper Guachinche (pronounced Wah Chin Chay) A few waiters speak English All food is fantastic, and unlike a lot of grilled meat restaurants on the island the meet is juicy and not overcooked. Bill 1 was for 3 and 24 Euros with a wine Bill 2 was for 7 and 71 Euros with wine...
