Andalusian€€centroMon-Sat 12:00-16:00; Sun closed

Signature: Pisto casero con huevo, Rabo de toro, Ensaladilla rusa, Callos

Order: Pisto casero con huevo, the plate that gave the taberna its nickname.

Tip: The operator lists lunchtime hours only, so treat this as a midday stop rather than a dinner plan.

Andalusian€€centroMon-Thu 13:00-18:00, 20:00 until close; Fri-Sun 13:00 until close

Signature: Croquetas de jamón, Mazamorra, Flamenquín cordobés

Order: Mazamorra, the almond purée that predates salmorejo in this city.

Tip: The kitchen rotates a recommendation board, so read it before ordering off the printed carta.

Andalusian€€san-basilioDaily 13:00-16:30, 20:00-23:30

Signature: Flamenquín de queso La Viuda, Atún marinado en cítricos

Order: The flamenquín de queso, the house rewrite of the city's fried classic.

Tip: San Basilio wins most of the patio prizes in May, so book here well ahead during the festival.

Signature: Fino en rama, Cordobés tapas

Order: Fino en rama, poured cold, with whatever is on the tapa board.

Tip: The kitchen stops at 23:00 and the place shuts Mondays, so it is an early-evening rather than late stop.
