Culinary tradition in Córdoba
since 1970
In the heart of Córdoba's Jewish Quarter, El Churrasco has been part of the city's culinary history since 1970.
A restaurant where traditional Cordoban cooking, holm oak embers and hospitality come together to offer an experience that keeps the essence of its origins.
Our story: the origins of El Churrasco
The story of El Churrasco begins in 1970 with its founders, Rafael Carrillo and Mari, who created a restaurant deeply rooted in Córdoba and its traditions.
What began as a family tavern grew into a restaurant known for its cooking, its personality and a speciality that would become part of Córdoba's culinary identity.
A tradition born in the family
From the very beginning, El Churrasco has followed a philosophy based on respect for the produce, careful preparation and a warm, personal welcome.
An approach to hospitality that links the founders' legacy with the experience the restaurant offers today.
The birth of the authentic churrasco cordobés
In 1970 our kitchen gave birth to the dish that would give the restaurant its name and personality: the churrasco cordobés.
Made with Iberian pork tenderloin grilled over holm oak embers and served with its traditional red and green sauces, this dish became one of the house's signatures.
Over time, the churrasco cordobés grew in popularity until it became a signature dish of local cuisine.
Holm oak embers and our traditional sauces
Fire is one of the stars of our kitchen. Holm oak embers give our meats their distinctive aroma, while our red and green sauces complete a recipe tied to the restaurant's origins.
A combination that looks simple but represents decades of culinary tradition.
From family tavern to historic restaurant
Over more than five decades, El Churrasco has evolved while keeping the character it was born with.
Traditional cooking, attention to detail and respect for its Cordoban roots have shaped its journey, adapting to new generations without losing its essence.
Today, the restaurant is still a place where Córdoba's culinary memory meets the pleasure of sharing a good meal.
