Bodegas Mezquita Ribera - Córdoba

Pronpruksa P.

​"We chose Bodegas Mezquita for our final night dinner in Córdoba, and it was the perfect end to our road trip! The atmosphere on the terrace was fantastic.
​We booked easily via Google Maps and were seated right away, which was a huge plus since the restaurant was so busy (highly recommend booking ahead!).
​We ordered a wide selection of tapas, but here are some highlights from our table:
​Berenjenas Califales (Fried Eggplant with Pedro Ximénez Reduction): This Cordoban specialty was divine! Perfectly crispy and the sweet wine reduction was the best we've had.
​Carrillada Ibérica (Iberian Pork Cheek in Oloroso Wine Sauce): This was the star! The pork was incredibly tender, melting in the mouth, and the rich sauce was full of deep, savory flavor. (This dish is a must-try!)
​Croquetas (Various): Creamy and delicious, a great classic.
​The entire team was efficient, friendly, and kept our table flowing with food and drinks. A fantastic experience—great company, great atmosphere, and truly authentic Spanish food. We highly recommend this restaurant! Thank you, Bodegas Mezquita!"

Mr. Nicolas was very kind and provided excellent service. The restaurant offers a great variety of dishes, and everything we tried was delicious — Berenjenas Califales, Salmorejo Cordobés, Atún con Mango, and Croquetas de Rabo de Toro.
I especially recommend the Berenjenas Califales, Atún, and Salmorejo Cordobés. The restaurant is not far from the Mezquita, so it’s easy to visit.
If you’re Korean, make sure to try the Salmorejo — you’ll love it! Highly recommended.

It was a great dining. experience. We walked in so could not get a table inside, hence we took a seat outdoors. It can get really hot in Cordoba in the summers but we were lucky as it was breezy at dinner time. The food was exceptionally delicious. Our server was very courteous and helped us alter the dishes from the menu to suit our vegetarian preferences. Their Sangria was one of the best we had in Spain. A great experience and a must visit restaurant in Cordoba!

The worst dining experience of my life — pure racism.

Even with a reservation, we were seated directly in front of the bathroom, while plenty of better tables were empty. From that seat, the toilet was clearly visible every time the door opened. When I asked to move, a young staff member rolled her eyes, shrugged, and ignored us. Only the manager finally changed our table.

But the service continued to get worse. Drinks came fast, but our main dish never arrived. We waited an hour before asking, and only then were told “five more minutes” — with zero apology.

The final insult? The table we were originally forced to sit at in front of the bathroom was completely removed, as if it was never a real table. On the receipt, they even drew a heart asking for tips. Who could possibly tip after this?

This chain is well-reviewed in Korea, but for me it was open racism and disrespect. This restaurant ruined Córdoba for me. I will never return, and I’ll tell everyone I know to stay far away.

We tried 5 different items and they were all amazing. The oxtail croquettes were next level good! Campillo was very nice and helpful. We really enjoyed our lunch here!

Local guide recommended this and it is great. The staff were very attentive and made good recommendation. All the dishes were spot on. The sangria made a lasting memory. It had a good kick and we were all tipsy coming out of the restaurant. Good memories !
