Tenerife has no shortage of burger places these days.
Some are good.
Some are forgettable.
And some decide to name their burgers after legendary rock bands and build an entire menu around them.
That’s exactly what you’ll find at Ghio’s Burger Crafters in Santa Cruz.
Burgers with a Rock and Roll Twist
The restaurant has built its reputation around handcrafted burgers inspired by iconic bands and artists, including:
🎸 Iron Maiden
🎸 The Doors
🎸 The Rolling
🎸 AC/DC
🎸 Oasis Burger
🎸 Pearl Jam
🎸 Metallica
Thankfully, they’ve put as much effort into the food as they have into the names.
Homemade Brioche and Aged Beef
One of the standout features at Ghio’s is its homemade potato brioche buns, baked fresh every day without preservatives.
The burgers are made using a blend of:
🥩 Black Angus beef
🥩 Aged dairy cow beef
A combination designed to deliver plenty of flavour and a juicy finish.
Signature Burgers
Among the more popular creations is the Red Hot Chili Peppers 2.0, which includes:
🍔 Homemade potato brioche
🧀 Melted Gouda
🧀 Camembert cream
🥓 Crispy bacon
🌶️ Pepperoni
🧅 Caramelised onion
🥄 Chimichurri mayonnaise
Meanwhile, The Doors burger was entered into the Best Burger in Spain 2026 competition, while the Oasis Burger picked up third place at Burger Fest Gran Canaria 2024.
Not bad for a burger named after a band famous for arguing with each other.
More Than Just Burgers
The menu also includes:
🧀 Mac & Cheese with pulled pork
🌮 Tequeños
🍗 Chicken wings
🧆 Rock & Balls (pulled pork and cheddar bites)
Plus vegetarian options, salads and children’s meals.
Desserts include homemade cheesecakes, brownies and lemon pie, many using artisan cheeses produced in the Canary Islands.
Craft Beer Selection
To complete the experience, Ghio’s offers an extensive craft beer menu featuring:
🍺 Local breweries
🍺 Spanish craft beers
🍺 Belgian imports
🍺 Rotating taps and more than 100 bottled options
Which means choosing a beer may actually take longer than choosing a burger.
