Is the best butcher El Zoro in Parque Del La Reina, Tenerife?

After a conversation with my neighbour who has been here for 5 years & didn't know about this butcher, I thought I would share this in case there are others too.

El Zoro in Parque Del La Reina, wonderful, his staff are friendly, multi lingual, you can buy beef joints with fat, pork joints with skin (crackling) lamb, mince good enough for steak tartare, pork chops, marrow bones for your dog etc. At Xmas the choice is never ending, the usual turkey etc. he also has wild boar, venison, & more. The meat is the highest quality also, as he told me he imports from Andalucia on the mainland, it is chilled not frozen, unlike the meat from Brasil & Argentina mostly sold here. He has now extended the shop to a restaurant so you can pick the meat from the butchers & they cook it for you, yummy & very cheap too. Enjoy !

Is it on the main road that runs through Parque del la Reina? If not could you post some directions as I would like to try it.

I have also been told to try the butchers in Guargacho (the first shop on the right heading from Chafiras) as it is excellent pricewise and quality wise although I havent got around to trying it yet.

Thats it now we will have the members attacking our super steak supplier and we were all trying to keep it a secret.

I can also vouch for the quality of meat from El Zorro, living just around the corner i also have the pleasure of the wonderful smells coming from the restaurant. Its always really busy day and night so they're obviously doing something right.
Directions - Come of the TF1 at Parque La Reina straight accross at the crossroads and take the first right turn its just round the corner on your right hand side. Enjoy!!

Hi Sunny 1

Thank you for that as I live there and did not know, thought it was only a restaurant, did not want to go into to find out more, so great will go there for my meat...
