Casa Córdoba

Authentic delicious Spanish food the best we could find in all Southern California. Beautiful ambiance. The owner Genie fell in love with Spain and brought it here. We went to Spain and loved it. This food and beautiful decor takes us back every time. Exceptional service every time.

At 7 on Thursday, the patio was filled. We made reservations on the website + answering machine, but the restaurant didn't have a record. They were able to seat us and we had a delightful meal. Excellent service, knowledgeable but not intrusive. Diners around us were enjoying a sequence of tapas but we had appetizers & an entree. I started with an excellent Amontillado sherry. When my beefsteak arrived, I wanted a fruity red wine so my server brought 3 samples. The charming patio, Spanish guitar, the buzz of conversation, good food and drink, produced a European experience of sensory satisfaction.

Best to make a reservation. The atmosphere is lovely, especially outside. Romantic feel. Live music just adds to the pleasure of it all. I love the sauteed mushroom appetizer, salmon, and white wine. Remember, tapas are for those who love to share plates. Great service, too. I've been here many times over the years and it's consistently a positive experience.
