El Toril

El Toril is one of those gastronomic gems that locals in Tarajalejo cherish and visitors discover with delight. Located in a peaceful area of Tuineje, this welcoming restaurant has won the hearts of a very loyal community thanks to its authentic homemade Canarian cuisine and service that many describe as exceptional.

Their menu showcases traditional dishes like ropa vieja with chickpeas, hearty carne fiesta, and fresh fish such as the fogonero fillet that melts in your mouth. The wrinkled potatoes accompanying the dishes are the kind that transport you straight to an island grandmother's kitchen. Homemade desserts like the famous Maripepa provide the perfect ending to a well-rounded meal. The warm attention from the team, with special mention to Elian's friendliness in service, makes each visit feel like dining at a good friend's home. Open Tuesday through Saturday from 12:00 to 22:00, and while closed Sundays and Mondays, it's definitely worth planning your visit around.
