Guachinche El Patio — Restaurant in Tacoronte

We went here with a set menu and we were 28 adults and 24 children. I am going first to talk about the food. I remember having better feelings at the Mc Donalds. The bread was taffy and elastic. The salad with sweet potatoes wasn't bad if you only have two spoonful, more than that makes you feel tired of it. The chickpeas were hard, I have had them much better in other places. The grilled cheese was ok but with sweet sauces again. The bbq meat was a mix of chicken, beef and pork with fries. I have to say that the pork was nearly to be gone off. The dessert was also a disaster, I asked for a “quesillo” and it is the first time I couldn’t finish it. Regarding to the organization and the serving just to say that was awful, we spent three hours since the first serving till the dessert, the children that have to be served first were waiting a long time among the dishes. But the worst came at the end, despite having a set menu, the owner charge us for more dishes, I doubted if he was right but anyway is the owner’s duty to tell that some things were out of the set menu...

Wonderful place, we had a great time here. We had mojos and grilled cheese , which were both really delicious. Then we chose chickpeas , meat with fries and a lovely octopus dish , also amazing as well as the deserts ( Abuela's cake and red tiramisu) There is nice service and amazing food - not less , not more. I highly recommend this place. We paid 30€ for the above meals and two drinks which is absolutely fair I believe.

Worth mentioning there is an AMAZING lady who works in the kitchen but as she speaks English , she took care about us as a waitress. She took our orders and made sure everything is all right , she was extremely kind and attentive, polite - so genuine. People like her mean a difference in this world - God bless her, she is truly ...

Fuimos a cenar sobre las 20:00 , el señor de la parrilla ni buenas noches nos dijo , esperando para preguntar si podíamos sentarnos fuera , se me ocurrió , ir por un lado que era evidente que podía pasar pues el hombre de la parrilla ahí si nos vió y de malas formas me dice que no cruce por ahí que de la vuelta que le voy a romper las plantas , al principio pensé que era una broma porque lo dijo de tan mala forma que pensé que era ironía , pues no se molestó el hombre sin llegar a pisar las plantas que era evidente que no las pisaría , doy la vuelta respetando las normas del parrilero y nos sentamos porfin en la mesa pedimos , los entrantes estuvieron bien , carne fiesta y croquetas , luego pedimos chuleta , bistec que vinieron frío y eso que están la parrilla al lado , se lo decimos a la camarera que la verdad que súper simpática se lo lleva a nuestro amigo simpático el parrilero el cual nos la trae negra como el carbón y sabiendo y oliendo a pequeños bloques sólidos fabricados con materiales combustibles como parafina, madera o aserrín( pastillas de encendido de fuego) , claramente no me comí la carne , después de eso y una laaaaaarga espera viene la chica y no ofrece postre , bueno para no marearlos , hay sitios mejores en Tacoronte y solíamos a veces por cercanía ir a este sitio , el cual no volveremos , prefiero gastar un poco de gasolina e irme a sitios que por lo menos uno coma bien por lo que paga , que hay veces que a los bares , guachinches, restaurantes se les olvida que no comemos gratis que pagamos por el servicio y lo mínimo es ofrecer un servicio óptimo a lo que pagas , esto es el boca a boca. Pd: había una mesa al lado con 4 niños los cuales pisaron mil veces las plantas del señor parrilero y el fue incapaz de...
