Located in Santa Úrsula, the family-run restaurant stays true to the traditional guachinche experience, combining local produce, house wine and a relaxed atmosphere at affordable prices.
Classic Canarian dishes
The menu is packed with traditional favourites, including:
- Escaldón de gofio
- Garbanzas (Canarian chickpea stew)
- Goat meat
- Fried eggs with potatoes

Charcoal-grilled meats are another highlight, with options including Canarian black pork steak, beef cuts and grilled chops.

Like many traditional guachinches, Don Trino also serves its own house wine, adding another authentic touch to the dining experience.
One of the restaurant’s biggest attractions is its elevated location, offering impressive views towards Mount Teide while you enjoy your meal.
