Increíble este sitio. Justo al lado de la mezquita, donde crees que te van a clavar por ser turista, y resulta que es un sitio tradicional a unos precios imbatibles y con una calidad excelente. Fuimos en dos ocasiones y me comí su clásico bocadillo de tortilla, por 5 euros, que está para chuparse los dedos. Es un sitio pequeño, donde compras y comes en los escalones de la mezquita, pues no hay mesas. Te atienden genial. Imprescindible.

Espectacular las tortillas de patata gigantes que hacen y espectacular también la amabilidad de los camareros. El local es muy pequeño, pasamos por allí un domingo a las 2 de la tarde y había una fila de 20 personas. Hoy lunes a las 11:30 estaba casa vacío.

Quién puede faltar a esta visita obligada en Córdoba? Ole ole de bar, a parte de su tortilla y cañita, el sitio es acogedor y el servicio de cátedra, super simpáticos y amables! El ambiente no solo en el bar sino en las inmediaciones es estupendo, todo el mundo con sus tortillas sentados en el murete en frente de este fantástico bar. Genial ! Relación calidad precio buena. Totalmente recomendable

Empezamos por el camarero,un encanto! Nos explicó con que acompañan la tortilla que es con el salmorejo, nos hizo cogerla para ver su peso de nada más ni nada menos que de 8k, tortilla de 30 huevos. Estaba buenisimooooo!!! Tuvimos la suerte de que la barra estaba libre cuando fuimos pero lo más bonito es ver como lo típico es comerlo fuera en los muros de la mezquita. Es obligatoria esta parada. Excelente!

¡Parada obligatoria! Después de quedar extasiad@ tras visitar la extraordinaria Mezquita déjate caer aquí para el aperitivo. Pide recomendación a los camareros, que son simpatiquísimos y tienen mucho rollo. Pincho de tortilla y aceitunas partidas. Cerveza y vermut (este último demasiado fuerte para mi gusto, como son los vinos de esta tierra). Mi paladar no está acostumbrado a este sabor, pero el sitio y el ambiente que tiene Los Santos nos encantaron.

Encantadora taberna muy auténtica, la tortilla de patata es un espectáculo que merece la pena ver y comer! Mojarla en salmorejo la hace aún más exquisita. Totalmente recomendable si paseas por el centro histórico de Córdoba. Los camareros encantadores.

Durante nuestro viaje a Córdoba estuvimos comiendo en el Bar Santos, está situado justo en frente de la Mezquita. Nos gustó mucho el salmorejo y la tortilla de patatas.

Un gran lugar, famoso por su tortilla de una altura increíble. Lugar cálido y acogedor, con personal súper amable y atento que nos hizo grandes recomendaciones y nos hicieron sentir muy bienvenidos. Nos gustó tanto que repetimos otra noche más.

Good Tortilla de Patatas. There is a long line up, but it worth a try. The staff are friendly but if they talk a bit less which each other, the waiting time could be reduced.

Absolutely delicious tortilla which is what I expected but what I loved even more were the atun pimientos - best I've ever had. All washed down with a cana! Don't let the queue put you off, well worth the wait.

Veronica Suarez

Yes, the torta de patatas really is that good! It’s absolutely worth waiting in the queue for a slice. Velvety, full of flavour, and an absolute must when in Córdoba. The man behind the counter was friendly and genuinely charming.

Casa Santos is the ideal place to stop after visiting the Mosque–Cathedral of Córdoba. The location is perfect and the experience is simple but genuinely good. The tortilla is excellent, soft, fresh and full of flavour, easily one of the best in the area. The draft beer is also very good, cold and refreshing. It is important to know that Casa Santos is very small, almost a counter-only space, so you typically order your tortilla and enjoy it outside. This actually adds to the charm, especially on a nice day, and creates a relaxed, local atmosphere right by one of the city’s most iconic landmarks. A very recommended stop and one I would gladly return to.

Very pleasant staff serving the best, and most likely the biggest, tortillas of Cordoba. Besides that, you may also enjoy the Victoria draft beer. Do as the locals and enjoy your meal across on the steps 😉

Rian Gostling

The ultimate Spanish tortilla, a huge thin slice served hot on a plate with a breadstick, other dishes available also drinks and draft beer, some standing room inside, but best to sit on the wall opposite, easy to find on the East side of the mosque.

Teresa Ruiz

Great tapas bar, super friendly , efficient & affordable. The tapas are delicious, our favourites were the salmorejo (which was incredible) and the pisto con bacalao! Love that it’s take away and you sit on the wall and eat your tapas, great vibe & very local.

Jord Althuizen

Wonderfull and cheerful staff that is super friendly and accommodating. We loved the tortilla which is a must when you eat here. The pinchos Muranos were a bit dry and disappointing compared to all the other great food items.

Ptite Soff

Nice place to eat a few things as appetiser. Definitely try a slice of the massive tortilla waiting for you at the entrance. Delicious

angelique vasileiou

Perfect authentic bar, quick self service, with traditional dishes and beer. You can take your food and sit across out of the Mesquita to eat. In the evening, there’s usually a guy playing music on the street and many people dance. Everything is just perfect!! Famous for the tortilla but everything we tried was yummy

Jessica Yan

Very very affordable price and good hospitality (which is so so rare in Spain for our 2-week vacation). The signature potato cake is really amazing. We even went there 2 times for that haha. It does not come with beautiful plates, but trust me, you won’t be regret waiting in the line after you taste it.

Joel Dare

If you're visiting Córdoba you have to drop past and try some of the delicious tapas from this classic Bar. There is a very small stand up area inside or you can eat opposite on the stone wall. We walked just into the gardens of the Mezquita Catedral and ate our lunch there within the lush gardens. The food and atmosphere was so good we had lunch from the Bar 2 day in a row. Prices are fantastic, our lunch for a family of 5 was €43

Steve Young

So many good things to say about Bar Santos. It's a great old school bar and tapas place. Yes tourists know about it, but locals do too. The food is great and affordably priced. The tortilla is famous, but branch out and try more. The staff is great and really efficient.

Stumbled in hungry, left obsessed with their tortilla — hands down the best I’ve ever had! Thick, soft, flavorful… just perfect. Right by the Mezquita, super authentic tapa bar, exactly how you imagine it. Friendly, fun staff and real local charm. Don’t leave Córdoba without trying it. 🥔

Alejandro Javier Garcia

Excelente choice for tortilla just in front of Mezquita. Very frindly staff. Be aware that the place has no tables nor bar. They serve dishes in a plastic plate and give you disposable forks. To eat you can sit all around que Mezquita.

Krysta Kostrubiak

We stopped here for an afternoon snack after some sight seeing. My husband found this place in a book at our airbnb and read about how this place has the biggest tortillas. We really did this for the experience. We waited in line for a few minutes standing outside the place. Once we got to the bar we ordered our tortillas that came as a pretty big portion on a plate with a fork and bread sticks. The service was friendly and quick. The tortillas was great, but if I did it again I might split one.

Life changing food spot. This stuff was inspired. The Spanish have figured out how to live and this institution is a testament to that. Hidden among the shops this place is authentic and historic. Eating outside on the ledge is communal and beautiful. Met some lovely dudes from Madrid. Thank you Spain!

Santos es todo un icono: situado justo al lado de la Mezquita-Catedral, es el lugar perfecto para un descanso mientras exploras la ciudad. Su tortilla de patatas (pincho) es famosa, y la cola en la puerta lo dice todo. No es un sitio sofisticado, sino muy en la línea del bar tradicional: tapas sencillas, buen pan, vino o cerveza y bastante concurrido. A mí me gusta porque es honesta, sin pretensiones, y te permite reconectar con esa Córdoba más genuina, de calle y de historia. Sin embargo, no lo pondría entre mis cinco favoritos para una cena tranquila: acaba siendo bastante turístico, y eso a veces resta algo de autenticidad. Pude inmortalizar el grosor de esa tortilla, que es fantástica.

Pros: - Tortilla muy rica. Merece la pena probarla. - Personal super amigable. Contras: - Difícil encontrar sitio en el interior, por lo que toca pedir y comer en la calle. - Precio un poco elevado en base al tamaño de las tapas.

Fuimos a probar la famosa tortilla. Muy rica! Recomendamos ir por la tarde, como para “merendar” porque antes hay mucha fila y hay que hacerla al sol. Lamentablemente la gente deja mucha suciedad en la calle, proveniente de la vajilla descartable que entregan, lo cual obviamente no es responsabilidad del lugar.

Una visita obligada si vas a Córdoba. Aunque reconozco que me sorprendió que no era para nada un bloque seco de tortilla a pesar de su increible tamaño, al final cobrar casi 3€ por una "rebanada"... es quizás algo excesivo.

Situación inmejorable. Comer una tortilla de patatas con Cerveza Victoria Málaga en la plaza de la corredera a los pies de la Mezquita no tiene precio. La tortilla estaba escasa de sal, pero buena y jugosa. Buen ambiente y trato por parte del personal.

Llegaba ayer de viaje y un pinchito de tortilla siempre hace bien; opté por Bar Santos, que lo conocía hace años y estaba cerca de mi alojamiento, la tortilla está muy rica, teniendo en cuenta que son 30 huevos y 7kg de patatas, según el camarero, se queda pelín seca, pero tiene un sabor y una textura muy rica. La sirven con dos picos cordobeses, y yo la acompañé con una cervecita. El lugar es mítico, con fotografías taurinas y una limpieza exquisita; los camareros son muy majos, uno de ellos decía ser hijo del jefe. Sin duda repetiré.

Their signature tortilla is just excellent - large, flavorful, and just the thing to eat before your Córdoba stroll! The bar is unique in atmosphere, it was one of the most tapas bar of the tapas bars we visited in Spain!

Bar Santos is a well-known traditional bar in Córdoba, Spain, famous for its tortilla de patatas (Spanish potato omelet). Located near the Mezquita-Catedral de Córdoba, it attracts both locals and tourists looking for an authentic Andalusian experience. The bar is small and often crowded, with people enjoying their food while standing outside. Their tortilla is massive, thick, and incredibly flavorful, served in generous portions. Aside from the tortilla, they also offer salmorejo (a cold tomato-based soup typical of Córdoba) and other classic Spanish tapas. If you visit Córdoba, stopping by Bar Santos for a slice of their legendary tortilla is a must!

Un bar taberna muy popular en Córdoba. Se encuentra justo al lado de la Mezquita. Un local que conserva su esencia a lo largo de sus años de historia. Aquí se viene a tapear. Es un sitio muy pequeño que cuenta con una barra y varias mesas altas, pero sin asientos. Si quieres sentarte te vas enfrente y te sientas en los escalones de la calle a comer. La decoración es de la época. Su principal reclamo: las tortillas de papas gigantes que venden en trocitos, y el salmorejo. Su opción de tapas no es muy amplia, pero se puede comer. El servicio es rápido y en ocasiones tienen el típico sentido del humor del lugar que no todos saben captar. Para ir, probar y tomarte algo, no está mal. Te lo recomiendo sin que lleves amplias expectativas. La tortilla no está mal. El salmorejo no es el mejor de Córdoba. Igual a ti te puede sorprender más. Sobre gustos, nada escrito. Yo, volveré.

Sólo hemos probado la tortilla de patata. Así que es lo que voy a comentar. La tortilla es inusual y muy distinta a la línea contemporánea. Tiene unos 15cm de alto, y te sirven una cuña fina -de 1 a 3cm- que presentan como rebanada en un platito de papel, acompañado de un tenedor de plástico y unos rulos de pan tostado en envase individual. Como el bar apenas tiene espacio para que quepan los usuarios de la barra, dan por hecho que te vas a ir afuera a tomar tu consumición, en una repisa del muro de la Mezquita que queda al otro lado de la calle. El trato por parte de los camareros es ágil y correcto. Tratan de atenderte lo más rápido posible. 2,90€ a finales de 2025 por la tapa de tortilla de patata; 2€ por un vaso pequeño de cocacola de grifo (y no te avisan de que no tienen botellines ni latas; te sirven la coca de grifo, y a funcionar!)… Muy caro para los estándares de vida de Córdoba. No repetiré, pero tampoco es que lamente haber venido… Mi mujer, que no soporta la coca de grifo se ha llevado una decepción.

Se recomienda mucho, en parte, porque la tortilla es muy alta, pero tampoco es para tanto. Está todo bueno, pero la tortilla es la de siempre, el rabo de toro está un poco duro, el salmorejo está bueno y las albóndigas saben a recalentadas. Es barato, eso sin duda, pero es que no hay ni sitio para sentarse. Tienes que hacer cola en un sitio incómodo y estrecho donde te atienden con prisas y te tienes que sentar a comer con cubiertos de plástico en la piedra de la muralla de enfrente, junto a las palomas.

Te vas a comer una tortilla sin más, en el lugar más famoso de tortillas de Córdoba. Te lo recomiendo, si tienes hambre, por el ambiente que se genera en la calle, al estar todos comiendo y bebiendo. La tortilla como tortilla tortilla... la patata está cocida y le faltan huevos, por lo demás bien 🫤

So this is "THE" place apparently to have spanish omlette/tortilla de patatas in Cordoba. Or so my friend ChatGPT told me 😄😄 First things first , the first thing you would notice about their spanish omlette is I would much rather call it a spanish cake. I think each one weighs 5 kgs or something like that. The visual of these spanish cakes is stunning, but when it's served to you, they basically serve you a slice. We took a slice to try. It was quite good, but personally as someone who is firmly "pro-cebolla/onion" in the tortilla debate, I wish they had put some in ,🤪 also there was a hair in the tortilla, so that kinda sucked. We also got a patatas bravas which was also good. Service was excellent and the staff was very friendly. Finding a table apparently can be very hard but most folks including us just took the food to go and ate outside by the facade of the mosque cathedral. Having a hair in your food can be harrowing, so since I'm giving 3 stars it means the food was good 😅😅 but personally I think I had better tortillas elsewhere and make better tortillas at home myself too LOL, so while I would recommend a quick pitstop, I'd also ask you to set your expectations accordingly

La tortilla es un puré de patatas nada bueno. La ubicación buena pero una decepción. Los chicos que atienden son muy simpáticos, eso Si.
