Some guachinches try too hard…
This one just sticks to what works.
The Place
📍 Guachinche El Fogón
Los Baldíos, La Laguna
One of those spots people keep mentioning when the conversation turns to proper Canarian food.
What’s on the Table
The menu mixes classic dishes with a few things you don’t see everywhere.
Popular choices include:
- Octopus ropa vieja
- Costillas with piña and papas
- Garbanzas
- Escaldón
- Bacalao encebollado
Simple food… done properly.
Grilled Meat Is the Main Event
This is really where the place earns its reputation.
- Chicken
- Bichillo
- Secreto ibérico
All cooked over the grill.
Not complicated… just the sort of food that makes you loosen your belt halfway through.
Desserts Too
If you somehow still have room:
- Quesillo
- Tarta de la abuela
- Gofio mousse
Very homemade… very Canarian.
The Setup
- Outdoor terrace
- Private parking
- Around 4.3⭐ on Google
Which tells you plenty.
