Editorially verified August 3, 2026 by Lewis Vaughan, TableJourney editor. Source.
Must order: Mazamorra, the white almond soup that came before salmorejo.
Tip: The operator writes its closing time as until close rather than a clock hour, so late arrivals are a gamble.
Address: Calle San Álvaro 5, 14003 Córdoba
Taberna Góngora is the family taberna on Conde de Torres Cabrera in Córdoba, adapting most of its carta for coeliacs on a separate chickpea-flour fryer.
Try: Rabo de toro and boquerones
Order: Rabo de toro, then boquerones, both at taberna prices.
Tip: It closes Tuesday and Sunday, an awkward pair that catches out anyone planning a long weekend.
Casa El Pisto has fed Plaza de San Miguel in Córdoba since 1880, a bullfighting taberna where a plate of pisto with a fried egg costs almost nothing.
Try: Pisto casero con huevo
Order: Pisto casero con huevo, then the ensaladilla rusa.
Tip: The operator publishes lunchtime hours only, so treat this as a midday stop rather than dinner.
Taberna El Abanico is the small flower-hung tapas room on Velázquez Bosco in Córdoba, a few metres north of the Mezquita and open seven days a week.
Try: Cordobés tapas and raciones
Order: Ask the counter what came in that morning; the carta is short and changes.
Tip: The operator runs three sites; Velázquez Bosco 7 is the original Mezquita branch, not the Ribera one.
Taberna La Viuda runs more than thirty tapas and raciones in San Basilio in Córdoba, including a flamenquín stuffed with cheese rather than ham.
Try: Flamenquín de queso
Order: The flamenquín de queso, the house rewrite of the city's fried classic.
Tip: It opens all seven days with a full split service, rare in a barrio where most rooms take a day off.
Taberna Salinas serves salmorejo, flamenquín and fried aubergine off Córdoba's Corredera, in a barrel-lined room the Salinas family took on in 1924.
Try: Salmorejo and flamenquín
Order: Salmorejo, then flamenquines de jamón serrano.
Tip: An earlier tavern stood here from 1879; the Salinas family business itself dates from 1924.
El Astronauta cooks mezze and a full plant-based section in central Córdoba, a vegan moussaka and vegan burger alongside the standard carta.
Try: Vegan moussaka and mezze
Order: The vegan moussaka, or the mezze spread if there are several of you.
Tip: The operator publishes no hours, though the Córdoba directories agree it shuts on Sunday, so phone ahead before building a plan.
