Guachinche El Comienzo

Guachinche El Comienzo is one of those hidden gems along Camino de Chasna in La Orotava that makes you feel right at home from the moment you walk in. This authentic Tenerife guachinche has won the hearts of locals and travelers alike thanks to its generous homemade cooking and welcoming atmosphere that invites you to linger. The philosophy here is simple: traditional flavors, hearty portions, and prices that pleasantly surprise.

The menu features time-honored Canarian dishes like garbanzas compuestas (chickpea stew) and carnefiesta, prepared with that homemade touch that only comes from cooking with love. The daily menu is a safe bet including freshly baked anise bread, drinks, homemade dessert (the quesillo is a must-try), and coffee, all at prices that seem from another era. The friendly service from the family-run team completes an experience that will bring you back, because Guachinche El Comienzo is one of those places where you eat well, pay little, and feel like part of the family.
