Tenerife Bar’s XL Sandwiches Become a Local Legend
In Tenerife, more specifically in the municipality of Güímar, there is a bar that has become a true local classic. Cafetería Dulcería San Pedro is a longstanding institution that continues to win over customers with the size and quality of its sandwiches. Food content creators @guachinchesmodernos recently visited the establishment and were quick to share their experience with all their followers. “We are blown away by the size of these sandwiches,” they comment at the start of their video.
A Local Favourite Known for Generous Portions
The venue, located on Plaza de San Pedro, is known to many locals as “Ignacio’s bar,” a reference to one of its historic managers who “is now a bit poorly but is always around; Mary is at the helm now and they continue to fill the bellies of the people of Güímar,” they explain. One aspect that caught their attention was both the size and the generous fillings of the sandwiches, showcasing the slices of pork loin overflowing from the croissant that Jonay tried. “This place has been famous for years for the size of its sandwiches; here a half sandwich is the size of a whole one anywhere else,” they state.
Enormous Value for Money
Among the options offered, they tried the chicken sandwich, the Spanish omelette sandwich, and the pork loin croissant, where the servings of meat were huge and it contained three portions. “This place has a reputation for enormous servings,” they note. Another highly praised aspect of the establishment is its competitive prices, which are considered low given the size of the portions they serve. During their visit, the content creators paid €25.50 in total. Both the sandwiches and the croissant were priced at €4.50 each, a very reasonable price considering their size and filling.
More Than Just Sandwiches
In addition to sandwiches, the establishment also offers natural juices like strawberry with banana or orange with papaya. “Here everything is XL,” they joke. Cafetería Dulcería San Pedro is located at Plaza de San Pedro, 9, in Güímar. It boasts a 4.4-star rating on Google, reflecting the satisfaction of those who have visited and who highlight the quantity served at economical prices.
