Editorially verified August 3, 2026 by Lewis Vaughan, TableJourney editor. Source.
Must order: Whatever the bodega board recommends; the carta runs past eighty plates.
Tip: It advertises itself as open every day but publishes no clock times, so call ahead in low season.
Address: Calle Deanes 2, 14003 Córdoba
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 Regina opened on its small Córdoba plaza in 1904 and still serves albóndigas de la abuela and a flamenquín stuffed with rabo de toro.
Try: Albóndigas de la abuela
Order: Albóndigas de la abuela, then the rabo de toro flamenquín.
Tip: It shuts Monday and Tuesday and serves dinner on Friday and Saturday only, so a midweek evening walk-in finds the door closed.
Taberna Casa Luis faces the rose window of San Lorenzo in Córdoba, a neighbourhood room built on pescaíto frito, callos and other home-kitchen plates.
Try: Pescaíto frito
Order: Pescaíto frito, the plate the barrio has always come here to eat.
Tip: No hours are published anywhere, so treat an evening visit as a gamble unless you phone first.
Taberna La Montillana has run beside San Miguel in Córdoba since 1948 and is one of the very few kitchens in the city still serving mazamorra.
Try: Mazamorra
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.

Try: Cordobés tapas and raciones
Order: Ask the counter what came in that morning; the carta is short and changes.

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.

Taberna Salinas serves salmorejo, flamenquín and fried aubergine off Córdoba's Corredera, in a barrel-lined room the Salinas family took on in 1924.

Tip: An earlier tavern stood here from 1879; the Salinas family business itself dates from 1924.
