Some restaurants need huge menus.
Others quietly survive for sixty years doing a few things really well.
Casa Lola falls firmly into the second group.
Casa Lola Continues Winning Over Diners in Güímar
📍 El Parral – Casa Lola
📍 Calle de la Amistad, 65 — Güímar
This family-run restaurant has been serving traditional Canarian food for more than:
🕰 60 years
And judging by the loyal customers…they’re not changing much anytime soon.
Traditional Canarian Cooking Done Properly
The menu isn’t enormous.
No twenty-page book of options.
Just classic Canarian dishes including:
🥣 Chickpeas
🥟 Homemade croquettes
🐐 Goat meat
And plenty of local favourites.
But there’s one dish everyone talks about.
The Famous Roast Chicken
🍗 Roast chicken
Apparently the star of the house.
Known for being:
✔ Juicy
✔ Tender
✔ Best eaten with your hands according to regulars
Which honestly sounds like sensible advice.
The restaurant also offers takeaway for anyone wanting to avoid sharing.
Local Wine and Homemade Desserts
Like many traditional Tenerife restaurants, the food tends to arrive alongside:
🍷 Local wine
And if you still have room afterwards:
🍋 Homemade lemon mousse
Has become one of the most requested desserts.
Which probably explains why “just stopping for lunch” rarely ends quickly.
Family Atmosphere and Pet Friendly
Casa Lola keeps things relaxed with:
🏡 Several dining areas
🐾 Pet-friendly spaces
👨👩👧 Family atmosphere
Making it popular for quieter lunches and family meals.
Opening Hours
🕛 Open daily: 12:00pm – 5:30pm
❌ No evening service
❌ Closed Wednesdays
Worth Knowing
Restaurants surviving sixty years in Tenerife usually have one thing in common.
They stop chasing trends and just keep feeding people properly.
Casa Lola seems to have understood that a long time ago.
