We ordered the cod over the creamiest mashed potatoes of our lives and calamari over black ink orzo. Both equally delicious. I thought the calamari serving was skimpy (only 2 of them) but tasteful and cooked perfectly. We were "scared" to try the black ink orzo but wowsa was it scrumptious. Note though that the menu is fairly small. It's one page that they have printed on a clipboard in several languages. It's not the menu you see on line. My hubs also enjoyed a Spanish beer. We do recommend. It gets you away from the touristy areas.

Fabulous breakfast!!!…read more This was the most delightful breakfast that we've had since in Spain. The restaurant was small and cozy, with seating inside and outside on the sidewalk. The owner really wanted everything to be perfect and appealing- from the music to the taste to the visual. Very eclectic decor and music playlist, but very warm. The owner does speak English and the menu has English and french(?- I forget, but think so). You can get coffee and tea, but, as opposed to other breakfast places where it's only bread with toppings or muffins, Él Arbolito has fresh fruit salad, bowl of fiber cereal mixed topped with yogurt and fresh fruit, freshly squeezed juices, a homemade cake, or even a sandwich. I got the cereal with the fresh fruit- the fruit was so sweet, that it didn't need any other sweeteners. It came with fresh juice- which he made me grapefruit- orange-strawberry and coffee or tea. It was a large, filling breakfast. My husband got a vegetarian sandwich with coffee, and for everything it was 10.20 €. The food was delicious. If we were to be here longer, I would be going here daily for breakfast. A wonderful find. I highly recommend it!

We were seated right away (a fairly large party) and ordered Muhammara and bread to start and a sangria pitcher. The sangria glasses came with a cinnamon stick and fruit inside them- which added a nice touch and made this one of our favorite sangria experiences of the trip. The muhammara and bread were the perfect start. The bread seemed fresh and the muhammara was rich and deep in flavor. We ended up ordering the reinvention of hummus and reinvention of falafel for the table and they were devoured by all. Definitely recommend! Two other dishes I'd recommend trying are the eggplant with honey and sesame seeds dish as well as the gazpacho with mango. Both these dishes sounded unusual to our American tastebuds, but we were thrilled we ordered them because they hit that ideal balance between sweet and savory. Once again, I cannot recommend this place enough. Everything from service, to ambiance, to dishes were superb!

Al llegar te recibe la sonrisa de Jose Rey quien se ocupa de casi todo! - tiene control de cada detalle y se hace conocer. Habla, ríe y conversa con todos los patrones no importa de donde visites. Para pedir, nos atendió Dave Ryx, con otra sonrisa y contento de guiarnos a travez de un menú desconocido. Comenzamos con las croquetas y las berenjenas fritas - versión tapa, ambos deliciosas. Comimos media porción de deditos de pollo frito que sirven con una salsita espectacular - lo recomiendo. Y, por supuesto nos convenció a tratar la torrija hecha de forma inigualable y calientica. Pedi una sopa que no nos agrado y rápidamente la retiro sin problema ni costo. Aparte de la comida, lo mejor fue conocer a Jose y David- ambos, atentos y zalameros, que no dudaron en complacer nuestro menu infantil. Gracias chicos, hasta la próxima!

We arrived at exactly 8 pm for our 8 pm reservation, but the glass door was still locked and the…read morestaff inside just glared at us until we walked away. Not a great start. Once inside, the atmosphere was very pleasant, having been seated in a large, open atrium with ornate carved stone walls and doorways. We asked for a large bottle of sparkling water but were told that they only had small bottles at €2.50 a pop. Small bottles mean more profit for the business but are inconvenient and more expensive for customers. We started with a bottle of the Speak of Silence /Extremadura, a dark red wine made with Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Tempranillo grapes. At €22 it was a decent value (average price = €19) with a 4.1 / 5.0 rating on Vivino and rated one of the top 2% of wines in the world. It was good, but I am not sure about the top 2% claim. We ordered and shared several dishes, so I will elaborate here: - Mixed Salad with Tomato Vinaigrette (€6.10): Nothing special, just an overpriced salad - Cordoban Salmorejo (€5.10): A local cold tomato soup emulsified with olive oil, Iberian ham, and egg, it probably would have been better warm or hot. It was tasty, but different, not something I would order again. - Cordoban Flamenquin (€14.75): Another local dish, pork loin stuffed with ham, breaded, and fried. It was good but a bit dry so I dribbled some sauce from the oxtail on top. It would have been better with an accompanying sauce, but then it would not be Cordoban. - Cordoba-style Oxtail (€13.95): Two small knuckles with barely any meat and eight small french fries scattered on top. The sauce was good and what meat that was there tender, but €13.95 for four or five mouthfuls? Definitely NOT a TravelValue. - Solomillo Boletus (€19.25): Iberian pork tenderloin topped with a mushroom sauce, it was delicious, but €20 seems a tad high for a few pieces of pork and a smattering of fries. Our server, Jose Rey, was professional and attentive and we were very pleased with his service. Another thing I did not like was the coercion to submit a 5-star review at the end of the meal. We were handed a card stating Ïf you don't like something, say it here¨but ¨Ïf you liked something, say it outside¨. I tell it like it is, so I do not appreciate being coached on what to submit in my reviews. The meal was good and the experience pleasant, but the few shortfalls we experienced kept me from giving them one of my top ratings.

Furthermore, flamenco is suppose to be small scale in an intimate setting instead of being performed on a big stage.

Not being a connoisseur of this traditional dance, I thought it was impressive and high energy. They performed for about an hour with a short break in between. The food here was much better than expected. They have all the traditional Cordoba cuisine such as salmorejo, mazamorra, flamenquin, berenjenas con miel, rabo de toro, and pastel Cordobes.
