WORTH GOING TO SPAIN FOR!…read more By far the best Tapas bar I have been to in Spain and on par with some of the best gastronomic experiences I have ever had! Although I do admit that this statement is limited as I haven't been to many Spanish Tapas bars, but as I know good food, and I know that with every bite I was amazed at how delicious it was. It's that sort of experience: Where you find yourself wishing you'd eaten far more slowly and savored each bite, potentially putting less on each fork to draw the experience out for longer. That it nearly trumped the desire to travel as we discussed staying in the area just so we could come back the following day, however having flight commitments found this impossible. That might encourage us to take another holiday including specifically this area.... VERY soon! That encroaches on your dreams. I wouldn't recommend the Patas Bravas (chips with a horrible tomato sauce) or the Gamas al Ajillo (these prawns were tiny and whilst tasty weren't up to par with the other food), however I'd happily recommend (and re-order) every other plate. Each plate came in 3 sizes, tapa, medium/half or full plate and they do have an English menu if you need it. My favourite three: The whitebait was amazing. Mushrooms with garlic moreish. However the Presca Iberica was outstanding, two little pork fillets perfectly cooked with a Iberica ham slice between; Mouth-watering and divine! At 27.50 (EURO), or just over £20 for two which included 6 beers (1 EURO each), this was absolutely amazing. The service was great, although we did sit at the bar which meant a rather informal meal, but that we could order as frequently as we liked. If you are in the area I'd recommend you make that you swing by and come here.

Al llegar te recibe la sonrisa de Jose Rey quien se ocupa de casi todo! - tiene control de cada detalle y se hace conocer. Habla, ríe y conversa con todos los patrones no importa de donde visites. 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.

The service was good. However, they sold a Sauvignon Blanc that was only 30% Sauvignon Blanc, and…read more70% of another, more intense, varietal that had been aged in wood barrels. 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 the food I had ordered, I plan to take the rest for dinner back at my hotel, so I asked for take away box. They had no take away containers, they had run out the day before. I couldn't eat all my food so all that was left, was for me to leave it. Not happy!
