    The quality and above all the size of the meats exceeded our expectations! 🥩 They went super well with the traditional Roja wine 🤭 The place is quite small, but certainly worth recommending!

    Great little place, beautifully decorated, very welcoming with fantastic friendly service. We had a prawn dish and Salmorejo for starters, Entrana and Hamburguesa 'Pecado carnal' for mains. All beautifully presented although the steak was very chewy, hopefully we just got an unusual cut. Their burger version was great, with the meal built to look like a burger rather than the usual. The other too dishes were very nice but unfortunately not quite as good as others around. Definitely recommended though

    Excellent food. Refreshing to find alternatives to the typical Andalusian dishes. We had patatas la tranquera, an empanada de carne, and choripan. All were fantastic. The shaded patio was peaceful.

    Absolutely delicious. Great service and well priced. Argentinian empanadas are very good. We really enjoyed our lunch here after the mosque cathedral.

    I truly enjoyed eating at this restaurant. Maria was such a nice waitress, perhaps the nicest in Spain that I have met so far, she went above and beyond, gave amazing recommendations, and knows how to have a good conversation. A true master of her craft. The food was also delicious, the steak was cooked properly and the flavors were right on point. When I come back to Córdoba, I am eating here again. Delicious!

    Good, simple food in a cosy space. The grilled vegetables were great - the aubergine just needed a little less oil. The meat was well-cooked and very generously portioned... Slightly too much salt on the entraña (skirt steak) but that's only a minor gripe. Very friendly service. The only real downside was the overly strong reed diffuser smell, but that seems to be a regional tendency

    Skip the premade "stamped" empanadas across the street or at one of the other shops. Freshly made when you order, These are the best I've ever eaten. Beef filling is so savory. Get your empanadas here!

    Had a great meal here. The ox-tail empanada was great Entrana was amazing - really tender and very tasty. We preferred it to the presa iberica, which was good, but not extraordinary. Great deserts. A short but tasty wine list. Friendly waiter (his English better than my Spanish). Good value. We ate in the downstairs room, which was fine, but a bit pokey. It was too chilly for us weaklings outside!

    Very cosy little place in the middle of the city. Totally delicious food - even as a vegan you can find vegetable plates that taste just amazing! The beer is from the barrel and also very good. And the waitress was just a dream! So friendly and easy understandable. She took a lot of time for us and made our stay very special. Thank you! (greetings from the Erasmus Students)

    Only slightly away from the main tourist thoroughfare of Córdoba but nice and quiet. Decoration is a nice mix of traditional Cordovan motifs and nods to Argentina. The staff were immediately very helpful and happy to make suggestions with orders and such. Service was fast and the steak was not only cooked to perfection (and as requested) but the portion was also really generous. Really friendly service throughout, attentive but not imposing. I would strongly recommend.

    The Argentinian empanadas are delicious, the best one is the meat one but the cheese one is also really tasty. I had dinner one day and lunch on the next day. I highly recommend this place.

    It’s was ok. The cheese starter was bland. The pork was nice. We sat inside which was a bit grim

    This is one of my least favorite places in Cordoba. We came by one morning, and there were hardly any people on the patio. The waitress told me that we could sit anywhere we wished, but when she saw that we were moving chairs from one table to the next to accommodate our small family of four, she intervened, saying, we can't serve four people. At the time, there was a table of five next to us and there were two other guests seated on the patio with about seven tables available. I said, I guess you're not the owner of this place, but she ignored me. We walked away. I can't stand the way they treat tourists in a tourist zone where there aren't even any locals whatsoever. Sin virguenza.

    Really nice resturant. Open area, but not in a main walkway, so much better.

  • 3/5 Márton D. 1 year ago on Google
    The wine was really nice but way too cold. Empanadas were good. The steak had too many tendons for my taste.

  • 3/5 Ulrich S. 2 years ago on Google
    Seated before 1 pm outside on the last small table looking to collective garbage bins where as there were four tables reserved under a shaded roof. We ordered meat empanadas that tasted good, a tranquera salad was ok but creamy sauce and a splash of strawberry jam did not look tempting.

    Beautiful place but, I order to go because they are fully booked one week ago, my recommendation is to book with time

  • 5/5 simon r. 2 years ago on Google • 2 reviews
    I was in Cordoba for 5 nights and went to this amazing restaurant 3 times as the food and staff were superb. The house special beef steak and the house special pork steak were both off the charts. The hosts Alfonso and Maria were so attentive and friendly and they made the atmosphere there so tranquilo and fun. I will definitely be back !
