You can't really say that Cafetería San Pablo is a fancy restaurant or the kind of place that will offer you the best meal of your life. It's more like a casual bar that serves cold beer and tasty snacks at fairer prices than other, more famous restaurants in the city of Córdoba that specialize in full meals. That said, it's a good spot to sit down and satisfy your hunger without expecting a grand dining experience. We ordered some good croquettes and an excellent homemade pisto with a fried egg. The service was friendly, and as a bonus, the outdoor terrace offers a great view of the square and the city. Just be aware that on hot days, you’ll suffer a bit.

Stopped in for a beer and tapas to escape the tourist traps in old town, albondigas and stewed solomillo tips in gravy were very good

El menú del día estaba muy bien para el precio: 1,2, pan, postre Córdoba, consumación y chupito <9 euro Cash only (see below) but decently priced lunch menu, even includes an alcoholic digestif drink on top of the normal/simple three course meal. Note this isn't a fancy resto, but a simple neighborhood place to get a drink and pass the time. I almost missed my train because I was enjoying it so much! The owner and staff were very kind. Spanish helps in ordering. If you need cash, the two closest ATMs don't play well with non-spanish debit cards. I finally found a different ATM built into a bank just outside the square that worked

Had coffee here a couple of times since it's so close to our hotel. Service is good, the barista is very nice, price for good value. Definitely recommend this to travelers.

Cheap and good food/drink. Service was ok, the server was a bit cold with us, for no apparent reason. But I recommend the place for breakfast!
