Restaurante Rancho Texaco

Restaurante Rancho Texaco is a well-established beach restaurant in Morro Jable, the resort town at the southern tip of the Jandía peninsula on Fuerteventura in the Canary Islands. Morro Jable and the adjacent Jandía beach — a long arc of white sand backed by the turquoise Atlantic — attract visitors seeking the island's most refined southern coast resort experience. Rancho Texaco occupies a position with sea views and a terrace suited to long, relaxed midday meals in the characteristic Fuerteventura sunshine. The cooking covers a practical middle ground between Canarian tradition and the international repertoire typical of well-run resort restaurants: grilled fish from the Fuerteventura coast, mixed grills of meat, and fresh salads using local tomatoes and peppers sit alongside more widely accessible dishes such as pasta and grilled chicken. The house grilled fish — typically vieja or sama depending on the day's availability — is a reliable main course, and the fresh salad selection is particularly cited by returning visitors as unusually well-prepared for a resort restaurant. Canarian wines by the bottle and glass are listed alongside Spanish and international options. The atmosphere is easy and unhurried — a terrace restaurant designed for visitors who want a proper meal without the pressure of a fine dining format. Mains average €16; a two-course lunch with wine sits around €30 per person. The restaurant is open daily from 12:00 to 22:00 and takes reservations, which are recommended for beachfront terrace positions.
