La Cochinera Guachinche

La Cochinera Guachinche is one of those hidden gems tucked away in the mountains of Santa Cruz de Tenerife that's worth the journey. Located in a remote, rustic area, this modern guachinche blends the best of Canarian tradition with a unique natural setting. Though reaching it requires GPS and navigating a narrow road, the culinary reward makes every twist and turn worthwhile.

Here, traditional homemade Canarian food shines in every dish. The star specialty is the chuleta de palo (grilled chop), but the flavorful escaldón with mojo, roasted kid goat, and perfectly cooked grilled chorizos also stand out. Diners particularly praise the fresh goat cheese and the fruity house white wine. To finish, don't miss the orange and chocolate dessert or the traditional quesillo.

Open Thursday through Sunday with an authentically Canarian atmosphere, La Cochinera Guachinche has earned the loyalty of those who discover it. Portions are generous, service is friendly, and the experience of dining surrounded by mountains makes this guachinche a perfect escape for those seeking authenticity away from tourist crowds.
