This spot really impressed us from the moment we arrived. The indoor and outdoor seating area are great and and manages to feel both authentic and welcoming, with beautiful details that give it a real sense of place and history. The team working here deserves a huge shoutout. Even though it was clearly a busy night, they handled everything with so much grace and efficiency. They stayed calm, focused, and kind throughout the entire experience, and it never felt rushed or impersonal. You can tell they really care about what they do. The food was fantastic—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The menu offered a great selection, with something for everyone, and each dish we tried was delicious. From the atmosphere to the service to the food, everything came together to create a memorable and enjoyable visit. Highly recommend stopping by if you’re in the area!

The Rocket salad was perfect. We also ordered the flamenquin which was good. Did not enjoy the cod loin. Cheesecake and bread pudding were amazing.

My family and I really enjoyed the food! We did some research and ordered some special cuisine of Córdoba. “Salmorejo” - This was the first cold soup we tried in Spain and it was delicious. “Flamenquín” - We loved this as well. “Fried Aubergine” - The honey and cheese made the fried aubergine not that scary so even a family member who never tried egg plant, tried it! “Iberian ham croquette” - If you like a lot of cheese you’ll like it as it’s very creamy (my parents are not a big fan of creamy texture) Calamaritos Fritos was just ok, perhaps Córdoba wasn’t famous for seafood since it’s far from the sea. But my dad wanted it so we ordered

This is my favorite taberna in Córdoba because I really like the food I’d definitely recommend the rabo de toro (oxtail), croquetas (croquettes), berenjenas con miel (fried eggplants with sugar cane syrup), and for dessert, the Manolete (especially if you like the Pedro Ximénez wine). You might wanna make a reservation, because the wait can be a bit long. If you don’t eat meat, you can check out the salad section or menus on the blackboards on the wall for veggies and fish dishes

Everything we ate was absolutely delicious. The fried eggplant, in particular, was quite different from most places , I should note that it had a slightly sweet flavor. The portions were very generous. Service was incredibly fast, and the place was very clean. Even though we didn’t have a reservation, they quickly arranged a table for us. All the staff were very polite. Our waiter, Manuel, was not only very kind but also highly professional! We will definitely come back next time we’re in Córdoba!

We went there for dinner. Upon arrival we were told outside is fully booked despite quite few tables were empty. They insisted to take us upstairs where there was no one there so we refused to sit there and eventually they were kind to get us seated outside. Food was fantastic especially the oxtail which was magical. Service a bit slow but acceptable

Great little Taberna with a fantastic range of regional wines. The food is also local which they are very proud of. Our young waiter was excellent and helpful. We had grilled courgettes with Brie, Lamb crepes with ras hal hanout sauce and fried anchovies. We followed with two desserts, the bread pudding and puff pastry filled with quince and sherry sauce All were very good.
