Obviously a different taste than expected. I ordered the wok salmon, the chef depended way too much on some version of soy sauce.

I couldn't eat all my food so all that was left, was for me to leave it. Not happy!

Unfortunately, this meal didn't live up to its rave reviews. Their famous croquettes were very good - certainly the best croquettes we've had, with super thin fried shells - and the salmorejo was also very flavorful with jamon bits. However, the main we ordered (baked cod with toasted garlic) was fried with not a hint of toasted garlic in sight; the cod itself was also far too salty. We admittedly were not very hungry when we arrived, so perhaps their other mains which they're more known for (eg, suckling pig) are tastier, but the main was definitely a disappointment. The restaurant's environment and service were nice. Dined: September 10, 2022

We were seated right away (a fairly large party) and ordered Muhammara and bread to start and a sangria pitcher. The sangria glasses came with a cinnamon stick and fruit inside them- which added a nice touch and made this one of our favorite sangria experiences of the trip. The muhammara and bread were the perfect start. The bread seemed fresh and the muhammara was rich and deep in flavor. We ended up ordering the reinvention of hummus and reinvention of falafel for the table and they were devoured by all. Definitely recommend! Two other dishes I'd recommend trying are the eggplant with honey and sesame seeds dish as well as the gazpacho with mango. Both these dishes sounded unusual to our American tastebuds, but we were thrilled we ordered them because they hit that ideal balance between sweet and savory. Once again, I cannot recommend this place enough. Everything from service, to ambiance, to dishes were superb!

Para pedir, nos atendió Dave Ryx, con otra sonrisa y contento de guiarnos a travez de un menú desconocido. Comenzamos con las croquetas y las berenjenas fritas - versión tapa, ambos deliciosas. Comimos media porción de deditos de pollo frito que sirven con una salsita espectacular - lo recomiendo. Y, por supuesto nos convenció a tratar la torrija hecha de forma inigualable y calientica. Pedi una sopa que no nos agrado y rápidamente la retiro sin problema ni costo. Aparte de la comida, lo mejor fue conocer a Jose y David- ambos, atentos y zalameros, que no dudaron en complacer nuestro menu infantil. Gracias chicos, hasta la próxima!

We arrived at exactly 8 pm for our 8 pm reservation, but the glass door was still locked and the…read morestaff inside just glared at us until we walked away. Not a great start. Once inside, the atmosphere was very pleasant, having been seated in a large, open atrium with ornate carved stone walls and doorways. We asked for a large bottle of sparkling water but were told that they only had small bottles at €2.50 a pop. Small bottles mean more profit for the business but are inconvenient and more expensive for customers. We started with a bottle of the Speak of Silence /Extremadura, a dark red wine made with Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Tempranillo grapes. At €22 it was a decent value (average price = €19) with a 4.1 / 5.0 rating on Vivino and rated one of the top 2% of wines in the world. It was good, but I am not sure about the top 2% claim. We ordered and shared several dishes, so I will elaborate here: - Mixed Salad with Tomato Vinaigrette (€6.10): Nothing special, just an overpriced salad - Cordoban Salmorejo (€5.10): A local cold tomato soup emulsified with olive oil, Iberian ham, and egg, it probably would have been better warm or hot. It was tasty, but different, not something I would order again. - Cordoban Flamenquin (€14.75): Another local dish, pork loin stuffed with ham, breaded, and fried. It was good but a bit dry so I dribbled some sauce from the oxtail on top. It would have been better with an accompanying sauce, but then it would not be Cordoban. - Cordoba-style Oxtail (€13.95): Two small knuckles with barely any meat and eight small french fries scattered on top. The sauce was good and what meat that was there tender, but €13.95 for four or five mouthfuls? Definitely NOT a TravelValue. - Solomillo Boletus (€19.25): Iberian pork tenderloin topped with a mushroom sauce, it was delicious, but €20 seems a tad high for a few pieces of pork and a smattering of fries. Our server, Jose Rey, was professional and attentive and we were very pleased with his service. Another thing I did not like was the coercion to submit a 5-star review at the end of the meal. We were handed a card stating Ïf you don't like something, say it here¨but ¨Ïf you liked something, say it outside¨. I tell it like it is, so I do not appreciate being coached on what to submit in my reviews. The meal was good and the experience pleasant, but the few shortfalls we experienced kept me from giving them one of my top ratings.

My guests took a salad of mushrooms and shrimps, calamares (squid), and several other tapas. We drank a red wine the waiter recommended us. I found the service quick and firendly.

When this place is busy, you will need to sit around for at least 20 minutes to even be acknowledged, the server has a bad attitude, they forget orders, and the sangria seemed to be none alcoholic. You have been warned. Don't do what we did and wait more than 20 minutes to even be glanced at. I understand that it was very busy... families of 6 at a couple of tables and smaller groups of 2 and 4 everywhere else. But my understanding stops when our server Paco, walks past us almost a dozen times without so much as an "Hola!" or eye contact. Maybe things are done differently here in Spain and maybe I am on the wrong. But there was another couple that patiently tried to get Paco's attention and even attempted to ask if they can place an order. He ignored them. After 30 minutes, they gave up and walked out. When my wife tried to ask if we order at the table or at the register counter (BTW, you order at the table but have to wait for a server to come to you) he snapped back "Patience, patience. I have to serve 3 tables before I get to you." He rudely proceeded to point out each table. There is no need for the kind of tone he used and the bad attitude he displayed. I have worked as a Starbucks cashier and barista at a busy store and I know that when things get busy or rough, you need to get nice. Moving on... we selected the spinach croquettes, berenjenas con miel (fried eggplant with honey), bacalao frito (fried cod), and a pitcher of sangria for a typical 3pm Spanish lunch. Paco brought out some hot rolls, which were delicious with a bit of extra virgin olive oil. 10 minutes later, he brings us our salvation: the pitcher of sangria. It looked different than other red sangrias that I have seen because this one had carbonation. It had a nice taste but no alcohol. My wife and I looked at each other. Had we ordered a soda?? Nope. This was indeed the sangria... all favor and no alcohol. We eventually finished off the entire pitcher without either of us having even the slightest buzz. Terrible. About 10 minutes after bringing the sangria, Paco brought the fried eggplant topped with honey. It was nice, but a bit too oily (perhaps due to frying the eggplant at too low a temperature). About 10 minutes after this arrived our spinach croquettes. Very tasty. The spinach was pureed, mixed with pine nuts, battered, and fried to a crispy goodness. This was the highlight of our meal. Oh, and good ol' Paco forgot my bacalao frito. At this point, we decided to simply ask for the check. This took another 15 minutes. We settled the bill and left our worst experience in Spain. Good riddance.
