Mesón Era Las Mozas Remains a Staple of Traditional Cuisine in Tenerife
Mesón Era Las Mozas in Arona continues to be a cornerstone of traditional Canarian cuisine, celebrated for its authentic grilled meats and homemade recipes after over two decades in business.
The culinary scene in southern Tenerife is once again spotlighting the Valle de San Lorenzo, where Mesón Era Las Mozas has become a staple for traditional dining after more than 20 years in business. As noted by the local food reviewers @guachinchesmodernos, the restaurant remains a favorite in Arona, drawing in both locals and tourists eager to sample authentic island flavors.
With a 4.5-star rating online, the restaurant’s success is built on its dedication to classic, homemade recipes. Popular starters include ropa vieja, garlic mushrooms, and croquettes. However, the true stars of the menu are the grilled meats—a specialty perfected by founders Pedro and María—which feature hearty portions of ribs, chops, and roast chicken.
To finish your meal, the restaurant offers desserts like polvito uruguayo and passion fruit cream, best enjoyed with a glass of house wine. Located at 26 La Cabezada Street, the venue has been updated for guest comfort and now features a covered terrace and private parking.
Establishments like this are vital to preserving the Canary Islands' culinary heritage, keeping traditional cooking techniques alive. Mesón Era Las Mozas is open Friday through Tuesday, serving guests continuously from 1:00 PM to 10:00 PM. The restaurant is closed on Wednesdays and Thursdays.
