Editorially verified August 17, 2026 by Lewis Vaughan, TableJourney editor. Source.
Must 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.
Address: Plaza de Regina, 14002 Córdoba
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.
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.
