We ate here early on a perfect hot evening and we were glad we had checked out trip advisor rather than take a chance elsewhere. The waiter was very helpful and we thought the food was extremely good and value for money. We had the empanadas to start and they were delicious, second course we both had meat which was... More

We missed out on our first visit to La Tranquera as it is an intimate and cosy venue. We booked in advance to make sure that we had a table the next night ...It was well worth the wait. The menu was extensive but as with many Spanish/south American menus there was a lot of meat and fish which my... More

A pleasant-enough lunch for 8.90€ consisting of salmoreja, followed with flamenquín and a forgettable dessert. However, it is close to the Mezquita and outdoor seating is available.

Place is a bit small you will have to book but the food (meat) was really good with great wine for an affordable price. the service and place was also top class.

If you go here BOOK first its very small and on our first attempt we were given a table directly facing the door - there are only 5 or 6 tables in all. Food Very Good.

We just went to La Tranquera for some wine and tapas, we sat outside, it has a really pretty seating area at the side of the restaurant! Nice for warm summer evenings!

Just made for tourist, the waiters have a single statement: No!! Food is poor, even if you order "a la carte", service is rude and extremely slow. Quality of meat also poor (incredible for an argentinian restaurant)

Small place, 6-7 tables, so avoid busy times. Food is great, especially the grilled meat, and its great value. My only remark would be the wine selection: we tried 2 types of wine by the glass, one undrinkable argentinian malbec, one passable wine from Cordoba. Considering that in Spain you can buy a decent wine botle for eur4 in the... More

All five of us loved this restaurant. We sat outside on a sunny Christmas Day afternoon and enjoyed nice glasses of wine, empanadas, steak, bread, salad, and every dessert on the menu. The outside seating was on a nice plaza so the kids could run around a bit. Service was among the best we had in Spain.
