    Delicious fried chicken. This place is a hidden gem. Don't let the lack of reviews fool you. Nice relaxing place off the beaten path.

    Worst dining experience in my life. Abbreviated summary: horrendous service, lying employees,…read moresub-par food, innumerable mistakes in orders and checks. Don't go here. Go anywhere else, and have a good time dining in beautiful Córdoba. Read on for details. We were initially drawn in by the wide selection of menu items and varied choice for sizes - you can have a tapas, half portion, or full portion all for very reasonable prices! Sounds great right...? We arrived as a group of 17 (high school students and chaperones) and asked to be seated indoors, not necessarily together, just nearby. Indoors since we were dressed for the warm afternoon and the temperature was quickly falling with the setting sun. They told us there wasn't enough room for 17 indoors so we proceeded to split up the group at the small tables outside (since apparently we weren't allowed to move the tables together either - fine.). They "cleaned" the tablecloths by waving off the crumbs on the floor next to us and flipping it over to the other oil-stained side. Bread and drinks are brought out to our table. We wait for 10 more minutes for anyone to come out again. We ask for olive oil this time. 10 more minutes pass without any attention and my colleague proceeds indoors to ask again for olive oil again, finds no one, and ends up retrieving some for herself, only to discover that the 20 seats inside the restaurant were completely unoccupied. As the sun is completely set and we are quite cold, we ask for the heat lamps to be turned on. One employee catches my eye from a distance and I gesture at the lamp, motioning for it to be turned on. He seems to acknowledge and walks away. 5 minutes later nothing has happened and when I see a different employee I ask him verbally to turn it on. He tells me the lamps are broken. Yet another different employee comes by two minutes later and turns them on. Unfortunately, a third of their tables aren't covered by the heat lamps, so some of the tables were left in the cold. A few dishes come out. I am told they are fine at best. Fast forward 90 minutes later and only 8 of our group of 17 have been served any part of their meal, while other tables who arrived 45 minutes after us had eaten and paid already. We ordered several half-portion sizes of dishes and received different sizes of the same dish separately at long intervals of time apart. One student was served the wrong croqueta order, let the waiter know (not asking for a correction, just informing them of the mistake that she was happy to forgive) only to have the plate snatched away and replaced with a plate of the correct croquetas... completely frozen. She asks for these to be cooked fully and never sees them again. My own meal was supposed to be a Spanish tortilla and some spinach croquetas. The tortilla takes 40 minutes to arrive and is flavorless. The croquetas never showed up on a plate, but they sure showed up on the check! I ask for a corrected check and a lower priced croqueta dish is erased while the order that was never served is still listed. I cannot name all of the mistakes that were made by the wait staff during the course of our meal. Unlike every other restaurant in Spain, the bread served at the beginning of the meal is not complementary. It is a surprise 2€ that shows up on your check with no warning. Also unlike most restaurants in Spain, none of the menu prices are tax-inclusive, so you will need to dig for those single-cent euros to pay for your food. We did not leave a tip.

    Pro : for what we ordered the food was good…read more Cons : this is the only place I've been in Spain where the prices are written off VAT so it's not a good surprise on the bill ! The service was just ok and really slow even if the terrasse wasn't full. They tried to charge us the bread even though we hadn't touched it. There is manny other restaurant on this street which seems to be better, so avoid el Museo.
