Taberna La Niña del Pisto

Andalusian tapas (home-style Córdoba cooking) · Casco antiguo

Must try

The pisto (what comes up most in reviews) and the salmorejo. Also flamenquín, oxtail, pig's trotters, aubergines with cane honey, boquerones in lemon, croquettes and Padrón peppers.

About

Tiny tavern serving Andalusian home cooking in the Córdoba tradition, in the same alley as Bar El Estrecho, a step from Plaza de los Naranjos.

Good to know

Book by phone or on their website: it fills up as soon as it opens. The tables are tiny and the dishes come out one at a time. The house wine is not cheap (€27 for a bottle of Ribera, April 2026). A 2026 review complains about the manager's attitude.

Getting there and parking

In the heart of the old town, which is pedestrianised: park in a car park in the centre and walk in.
