We had empanadas half a dozen times during our trip in Spain, and La Tranquera had the best empanadas out of all the places we tried. The crust was perfect, flaky, but not too heavy or oily. The fillings were even better, so many different interesting flavors to try and seasoned just right. Whimsical was a favorite among us, savory with a hint of sweet and sour from the tomato. Oxtail was rich and tender. Good old ham and cheese was also a favorite for the kids. Moroccan chicken had a such unique blend of spices and a hint of sweet. Yes, I am still thinking about these empanadas. read more

Enjoyable lunch of empanadas and cervezas. Sitting on the patio in 20ºC sunny weather. Empanadas: Queso - light Pollo - flavorful spices Robo de Toro - deshebrada of oxtail. Rich. Handmade, deep fried, delicious. Service was bit slow as our waiter had to handle 26 customers including a boisterous party of 10. We just relaxed and went with the flow. + flatware - Quittin with wooden handles - paper napkins €23.75 for lunch for 2. read more

Cominos unas empanadas deliciosas! Excelente servicio y servicio. Lo recomendamos, es un tentempié perfecto!

I enjoyed this restaurant a lot. The food was excellent and the service was top notch. I had the capresse salad and it was outstanding. I also had steak with potatoes and salad which was also outstanding. The steak was juicy and full of flavor. It is one of my favorite places to eat in Cordoba. read more

The lunch deal here was one of the best we found on our trip through Europe. For less than 10 Euro, we could enjoy salmorejo (a cold and creamy soup with a tomato base), flamenquin (deep-fried ham and pork roll) and flan for dessert, plus bread, drinks (tinto de verano) and service all included. All this served with good cheer in a lively and convivial atmosphere. Prices are still quite reasonable at dinner, when I believe reservations are recommended. The restaurant is centrally-located and therefore in a touristy area, but a number of the other patrons appeared to be locals and/or Spaniards, which is always a good sign. read more

Yum! If you like meat and tapas, go here! We enjoyed sitting out on the patio (we had a reservation) enjoying the sunshine. There were umbrella's to provide shade as it was in the high 80's. An average sized patio area with small tables (this was a down side) as they served large plates. Three of us shared tapas and several main courses. The food was FANTASTIC! Service was on the poor side as our server never came back to check on us or ask us if we wanted more beverages (and we would have ordered more!). Although we had enough food for a "take-home box", this is not very common. I would recommend going with a small group and sharing items. The sangria is recommended (although i didn't get to order it due to our server never coming back). read more
