They're known for Cordovan dishes like their oxtail and manzamorra, so we got the classics. - Mazamorra: cold cream of almonds with pear jam and almonds - super thick and almost like a dip, definitely get the small portion to share - Tartar de atún con ajoblanco: a generous portion of tuna with ajoblanco, which is similar to mazamorra but more liquid and with some acid. The tuna was fresh and was a generous portion. I would recommend sharing this also - Rabo de toro: their signature oxtail - super tender, falling off the bone, with a rich collagen reduction Staff were friendly, pacing was pretty quick, which I appreciated since we were only in Cordoba for the day. It's worth coming here to try these traditional dishes!

Q: What would you recommend? A: I can't. Took order. Did not ever come back. Meh. Food was good. Fried Eggplant was on point. Meatballs with the saffron curry also good. Cod, Egg, Lemon salad was a pretty plate but lacked flavor. High points were the Tajin and the oxtail stew. It is a good value. They have 3 sizes for each dish. The whole dinner with the bottle of wine was $30 per person.

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.

We learned which foods were local options and why no one ate the oranges on the trees in the area when he brought out a plate of orange pieces I could eat.

I've always been a huge fan of fresh juice... but theirs was way better... most likely due to their combination of fruits. We had the one with apple, pineapple and lime. Refreshing! To date, I still think about that glass of juice! Please note that there were no English menu and the servers do not speak much English. This is a sign that they cater to locals and not a tourist trap! We had to use google camera to translate the menu while we were there. However, the translation didn't work properly so we didn't understand most of what was on the menu. LOL. 1) We had the duck pate dish. Note that this is popular dish in Spain: duck pate, marmalade sauce and bread. This was our 2nd or 3rd time having this dish and we loved it each time! 2) Sardine pate - it came with lettuce, capers and bread. While my husband liked it, I swear I will not have sardines anymore in my life. (The other time I almost puked was when I tried sardine sashimi in Japan.) The fishy taste was just way too strong for me. I ended up just devouring the duck pate dish and sipped juice and latte. It was such a simple meal but I really enjoyed the experience!

We were a bit full from the empanadas that we had earlier but we heard that Ordonez's fried eggplant was exceptional and should not be missed.. I thought, when will I be back here, to this narrow side street?? Not for a long time, I reckoned. So, despite not being hungry, we stopped in and very much enjoyed the fried eggplant!! It was light, crispy on the outside and soft and moist on the inside and it was a bit hot too, having come immediately from the fryer to our table and bitten into immediately. (English majors - go!!) It's coated with a light batter and they drizzled some sweet balsamic vinegar on top with sesame seeds. I suppose I should have had some dry vino to pair with this appetizer but it was a bit too early for me. The non-complimentary bread (they unilaterally decide to serve it) was a little dry but I ate most of it, dipping it in some olive oil with more of that balsamic vinegar. It's noteworthy that I was extremely full heading into dinner time.
