A huge tortilla, a hearty bowl of chickpeas and a menu built around traditional Canarian cooking. Casa Teodoro in Icod de los Vinos has been serving customers for almost 40 years, keeping things firmly rooted in family recipes and familiar local flavours.
The family-run restaurant recently caught the attention of food influencers @guachinchesmodernos, who visited and shared their experience online.
They described Casa Teodoro as a family-friendly place for a relaxed meal, with a relatively small menu focused on traditional dishes rather than an endless list of options. Sometimes, keeping things simple is the sensible approach.
Chickpea Stew and a Rather Large Tortilla
One of the dishes that stood out was the garbanzas, a traditional chickpea stew praised for its rich, comforting texture. Goat meat and a half portion of scrambled eggs also featured among the popular choices.
Then there’s the tortilla.
Made with around 10 to 12 eggs, it’s a substantial affair and caught the visitors’ attention for both its size and flavour. Served with fresh bread, it sounds like the sort of dish that doesn’t require much else on the table.
Casa Teodoro’s approach is all about traditional food, generous portions and the sort of cooking that has kept family-run establishments popular for decades.
