Guachinches<\/strong>: Tenerife and the typical flavors of the Canary Islands<\/strong>; These wonderful and popular \u201crestaurants\u201d are meeting spots for tourists and anyone nostalgic for the tastes and flavors of the past.<\/p>\n\n

Guachinches are true hideaways located in the homes of anyone wanting to share the flavors of Tenerife<\/strong> and meet the requirements to do so, like having their own local wine. Often found in wineries, garages, caves, or terraces, guachinches are an awesome way to experience Canarian cuisine at an affordable price. Just because they\u2019re in private homes doesn\u2019t make them any less welcoming or \u201cfunctional.\u201d It\u2019s not unusual to find guachinches that can host a few dozen people!<\/p>\n\n

The name itself doesn’t really mean anything<\/strong>, and there are actually different theories about where it comes from. The most popular one says it\u2019s a twist on the English phrase \u201cI\u2019m watching you.\u201d So, it\u2019s like saying, I\u2019m keeping an eye on you. Another commonly mentioned idea is that it comes from \u201cwater and bugs,\u201d thanks to the term becoming more and more popular.<\/p>\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n

The dishes served here are homemade, but the real star is the wine. These spots revolve around everything related to wine production and enjoyment. Many guachinches only stay open throughout the year if they still have their own wine to serve.<\/strong> At that point, it\u2019s all about waiting for the next harvest. Plus, due to legal reasons, these places can only stay open for a maximum of 4 months each year.<\/p>\n\n

Guachinches \u2013 How to find them?<\/h2>\n\n

These restaurants often have little signs saying “vino aqu\u00ed” or “guachinche,” but since they’re not real restaurants, they can be tricky to find<\/strong>; if that\u2019s the case, just ask any local and they’ll definitely point you to at least one. The oldest and most traditional ones are found in small mountain towns,<\/strong> especially around Tacoronte and La Orotava. Now let\u2019s talk money: guachinches are incredibly cheap<\/strong>: you usually spend less than 10 \u20ac per person (wine included!). Plus, when cooking at home, the portions are huge and the dishes are super tasty.<\/p>\n\n

Each restaurant can whip up a maximum of 3 different dishes, but you’ll often find meals made with pork, potatoes, and chickpeas<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n
