Guachinche El Descarado

Description

Guachinche El Descarado is a modern guachinche specializing in rice and grilled meats, opened in 2025, in the municipality of La Orotava.

It is located in the El Ramal area, on a road very close to and parallel to the northern highway. It is located in an area with a private parking lot for its customers.

It features a comfortable, rustic-looking indoor living and dining room with wooden furniture. It also has a covered terrace with large windows and great views of the highway and the lower part of La Orotava, as well as a large outdoor terrace sheltered from the sun and rain, providing a very comfortable stay.

Its gastronomic offering is wide and varied. The menu includes starters and sharing dishes such as soup, stew, various salads, croquettes, cheeses, escaldón (fried fish), chickpeas, ropa vieja (cooked clothes), mushrooms stuffed with almogrote (fried mushrooms), sweet potato timbale with cod, stampede eggs, goat meat, fiesta meat, and more. Fish options include squid, garlic prawns, fish with onions, fish and seafood in a marinara sauce, and grilled meats such as sirloin, roast chicken, chops, ribeye steak, entrecote, cachopo (fried meats). And various rice dishes and fideuá, including black rice with octopus, vegetables, seafood, señoret, and more.

For dessert, they offer some homemade varieties, such as quesillo, grandma’s cake, coffee flan, cheesecake… along with other varieties from renowned pastry brands on the island.

As for wines, they offer a fruity house red and white , served in bulk and sourced from a renowned island winery. They also have a small selection of bottles from both island and national wineries.

The prices are reasonable, but on par with any restaurant, higher than those of a traditional guachinche. The portions are well-stocked, and the food is very well prepared and presented.

The staff is attentive and provides professional service. It’s surprising that the wait time isn’t too long, even when the place is packed.

In short, Guachinche El Descarado is ideal if you want a hassle-free place to serve Canarian food and rice dishes in La Orotava. They’re open every day, have parking, are easy to get to, are accessible, offer a wide variety of delicious options and dishes, and offer good service and reasonable prices.
