Extra points because it was surprisingly hard to find a halal restaurant that served local cuisine…read more Most served shwarma or pizza that was average at best. This place had a nice courtyard and the outside seating in a shaded area. We had the salmorejo cordobes for a starter. It was cold cream of tomato with bread and olive oil. I really liked it and so did my wife. We shared two main course dishes: the pastela de polio y verduras (chicken and vegetable patties). They were okay, they had a ton of dry turmeric inside which was odd but I would still order them again. Rabo de toro (ox tail). I picked this because I saw it at every Spanish restaurant we had been to but couldn't try. Definitely the best dish we had! #1 for both my wife and myself. For dessert we had the cordovan cake (average) and fruit juice made from some local fruit (I forget the name) but the juice was disgusting. Smelled and tasted odd. Great restaurant overall. I definitely recommend it.

Good location, but rude service. My sister and I are American and speak a little Latin American…read moreSpanish. We attempted to order a traditional Spanish breakfast (cafe, Zuma, tosta con tomate). The first waitress rolled her eyes when we struggled to understand her questions in Spanish, although we were apologetic. The cafe con leche was only ok and the tostado was only slightly toasted. Wouldn't return here. If you can mostly get by with your Spanish, this is probably a nice place to start your day. But otherwise, I'd avoid it.

This place has easily the best paella that I've ever eaten in my entire life…read more I arrived around 1pm on a weekday and this place was empty so I was a bit worried. However I soon realized all the locals were flooding in a little after 2 when the restaurant was full to the brim. Obviously I had to order the seafood paella which was a thing of pure beauty. The rice was perfectly cooked and was bursting with amazing seafood flavor. The top of the rice was moist and fluffy while the rice on the bottom of the pan was perfectly crispy. The combination of the contrasting textures was a treat for the palette. The prawns and mussels were fresh and sat on top of the rice was highly addictive. The little bits of fish in the rice were light and fluffy and a great addition to the rice. I can highly recommend this place for the paella. I just wish I was able to try the various other paellas they offer!

Cheap but not worth the price, at least not the pastas. My sister got the margherita pizza and…read morewhile it wasn't as good as NYC pizza, it was the best thing off the menu. My dad got the seafood soup and my mom the seafood spaghetti and they both tasted the same. I think they just used the same sauce for both, but put one in a bowl with bread and another on top of thick noodles. I got the pasta with salmon walnuts and black caviar. There was barely anything but sauce and penne. Also, the menu said macaroni but I got penne! Now I can't read Spanish but I thought I had a decent understanding of pasta names. Unfortunate. Service was lacking as the waiter did not check in and we had to flag down someone else for our check. This is not real pizza or Italian food. I would go elsewhere!

Cafe Niza has some of the best churros in Córdoba. There's a bit of seating inside, but most of the…read moreseating is outside on the plaza, where they have tents and heaters for when it gets cold. The staff is super nice and will put up with your broken Spanish. I recommend the churros chicos with a cup of chocolate - perfect for studying or just enjoying the day. The only caveat is that in the summer it gets really hot here, and they don't have air conditioning, so expect to sweat a bit if you come on a hot day.
