Casa Pedro - nice but cheap!Casa Pedro is a little-known eatery found in Las Chafiras. If you are staying in Los Cristianos or Las Americas and have a car, take the TF1 motorway north (aiming for the airport) and exit at junction 24. Take the third exit from the roundabout and just down this side street, you’ll see, on the left, an unobtrusive building that houses this small restaurant. This is really a hidden gem and is known only to a few ex-pats, certainly not many tourists. When you enter the place, you may think “what on Earth is this?” because you walk into a typical Canarian bar, where there may be Tenerife manual workers enjoying (quite loudly) a drink after finishing their shift. But you go through to a very pleasant, rather basic dining room. Typically Canarian, there is no menu, but all the food available (meat, seafood, etc) is on display and you select what you want. Staff (speaking good English) are on hand to talk you through it. Starters are steaming away in large tureens and you can inspect these, too. Food is excellent, as are prices. The boss, Pedro, as in the name of the restaurant, is usually there, waiting on tables with the best of them. Food is great - I usually have the “solomillo” [solo-ME-yo](steak, to you and me). Wine is served in the traditional Canarian way, siphoned from a large vat into an earthenware jug, quarter-litre (quarto litro), half-litre (medio litro) or litre (litro). I expect you will find the prices very reasonable, too. We have been there many times and, all in all, Casa Pedro provides a very agreeable, cheap dining experience.
