Signature dishes: Berenjenas con miel de caña, Tortilla de rabo de toro
Must order: Berenjenas con miel de caña, then the tortilla de rabo de toro.

Order: Whatever the kitchen is running from the Sephardic side of the carta.
Tip: It closes on Wednesdays, and bookings run through a dedicated reservations line rather than the main house phone.
El Churrasco has grilled Iberian pork over oak charcoal on Calle Romero since 1970, its churrasco cordobés arriving with red and green Arab sauces.
Signature: Churrasco cordobés, Berenjenas con salmorejo, Presa ibérica
Order: The churrasco cordobés, grilled pork loin with the house red and green sauces.

Signature: Cordovan classics, Mozarabic-inspired dishes
Order: Whatever leans Mozarabic on the day's carta; this kitchen built its name on that revival.
Tip: It is steps from the Patio de los Naranjos, so book ahead for lunch; the bar takes walk-ins that the dining rooms cannot.
