Finding a good guachinche in Tenerife isn’t difficult.
Finding one with proper views, a terrace overlooking the barranco and cabrito on the menu…that narrows things down a bit.
Guachinche Tony y Virginia in La Victoria de Acentejo
📍 Guachinche Tony y Virginia
📍 Calle Tagoro, 98 — La Victoria de Acentejo
This spot has become a favourite for people looking for:
🍷 Traditional Canarian food
🌿 Countryside views
🏞 A quieter setting away from the usual rush
And yes…the terrace looks out over the ravine and green hillsides.
Not exactly a bad lunch backdrop.
The Dish That Surprised Everyone? The Cabrito
One dish stood out straight away:
🐐 Cabrito
Not something you see in every guachinche these days.
Visitors described it as:
✔ Juicy
✔ Full of flavour
✔ One of the highlights of the meal
Apparently one of those dishes you order out of curiosity and end up talking about afterwards.
Proper Canarian Classics Too
The meal started with:
🧀 Fresh cheese with quince and olives
Then moved onto:
🥣 Cod chickpeas (garbanzas de bacalao)
A slightly different take from the usual meat version.
Fish, Grill and Desserts
More dishes followed including:
🐟 Cherne with sweet potato
Although the sweet potato apparently arrived looking closer to half a yam…
🥩 Grilled steak (chuleta) also made an appearance from the barbecue menu.
And because Tenerife lunches rarely end quickly:
🍮 Quesillo
☕ Coffee cake
🍫 Maltesers cake
Finished things off.
No complaints there.
Terrace Dining with Barranco Views
One of the biggest draws is the covered terrace.
You get:
🌿 Green views
🏞 Barranco scenery
🍷 Traditional food
Which is basically the Tenerife guachinche formula when it works well.
Opening Hours
🕛 Wednesday to Friday: 12:00 – 22:00
🕘 Saturday: until 21:00
🍽 Sunday lunch only: until 17:30
Closed earlier than some places…probably sensible after sixty plates of grilled meat.
Worth Knowing
There are guachinches you visit for the food.
Others for the setting.
This one seems to have quietly managed both.
