The legendary Casa Chano in Tenerife: canapés, queues, and ham sliced with a machine.
In Tenerife, Casa Chano is famous for its sandwiches, especially those with ham, and for its long queues, attracting both locals and tourists.
In Tenerife, there are places where people go to eat not based on guidebook recommendations, but on the advice of friends or colleagues. They know a thing or two about delicious food!
Everyone has their favorite sandwich: with ham in one place, with swordfish in another. But when it comes to long lines and incredible sandwiches, everyone mentions one place – Casa Chano.
It's practically a local legend. "We have the best ham in Spain, sliced not by hand, but by machine," Chano once said.
You won't see a "jamonero" with a knife here. The main thing is precision, a thin slice so that the ham melts in your mouth and lies perfectly on the bread.
For lovers of hand-carved ham, this may seem strange, but at Casa Chano, the result speaks for itself – there are always many visitors.
Casa Chano is located near the TF-5 highway, on the way to El Boquerón. It is an ideal stop for those traveling around the island, whether you are going north or returning from the south.
A convenient location is good, but the main thing is their sandwiches!
There is a family atmosphere here: wooden furniture, small tables, and barrels instead of chairs. This is not a place for long gatherings, but for a quick meeting where time flies by with conversations and delicious snacks.
On an island where every town has its own "star" sandwich, Casa Chano has achieved something special: many, even with a favorite place, admit that here are the "best" sandwiches... and the longest lines.
