EL CORTIJO Spanisches Restaurant & Bodega in Isernhagen

Excellent place!! The food is exquisite, everything is super good!! Unbeatable attention!! The owner, Joaquín, a great host, was very attentive and friendly at all times!!! The location is beautiful!!! Recommended 💯

Very good food in a great atmosphere. The service was extremely friendly and personable. The food ranges from tapas to meat and fish dishes to desserts. I can highly recommend the rack of lamb... the meat was on point and very tender - simply delicious!

Perfect restaurant. Great food and service. ;)

A very nice place, with an atmosphere. I definitely recommend booking a table because the place is very popular.

A great authentic Spanish restaurant with a very attractive ambience. The conditions were very attentive and friendly, the food was wonderful. It was a great evening with you, thank you very much.

Very cozy, food was good, service a bit grumpy

Mega tasty, great service. Very popular, so reserve in advance.

We were there for the first time yesterday and will definitely be back. Everything was right here. The service, ambience and food were amazing.

One of the best Spaniards I know so far. What particularly struck us (5 people) was the very good price-performance ratio and the fast service. The food is not only delicious, there are quite large tapas portions and a huge selection, especially for a Spaniard. If you especially want to eat tapas in all variations, I highly recommend it. 😋

Nice restaurant in Altwarmbüchen with friendly staff, good service and great food 👏👍 I also liked the atmosphere, it's very cozy and you feel very comfortable there 😉I'm already looking forward to my next visit and can happily recommend this Spanish restaurant 👏👍😄

My first impression was very positive. Cozy little restaurant with an open design. Versatile menu but without any labeling of vegetarian or vegan dishes. Unfortunately, the staff was very dismissive and monosyllabic from start to finish. I also had a piece of broken glass in my drinks. When I spoke to the waitress about this, my statement was not respected and even doubted. My drink was only replaced after active inquiries. There was no apology or any kind of accommodation. All in all, I have to say that this restaurant will not be considered for me again!

It was our favorite Spaniard, unfortunately only until yesterday Monday. Full of anticipation, we visited the restaurant and got a table for two people upstairs without a reservation. We took a seat in a cozy atmosphere and were served promptly. After a short time we were quite cold because there seemed to be no heating upstairs. We quickly ordered drinks and food. After a really short wait we got this too. When I ate the griddle, I quickly realized that the turkey steak was not even remotely cooked. Of course I criticized this. After a good 5 minutes I got the plate back on the table with the cut steak in question. With a quick apology it was done. Of course, something like that can happen, but I wouldn't have expected the cut steak on the plate. As a starter there is delicious bread with garlic dip. When we saw that the waitress had put a guest's bread, which had not been completely eaten, back on the new plates with bread, we really lost it. We have always thought highly of this restaurant, but after this unfortunately very negative experience, it will probably be our last visit.

Great food - service was a bit “special” and perceived as invasive.

Wonderful! Only recommended because of the menu selection and the great service. Always my pleasure.

Breakfast was served very quickly. The tappas on Tappas Wednesday are nothing special for the price of almost 30 euros per person, excluding drinks. Mushrooms in sauce, pasta and potatoes and a platter with some meat. Unfortunately I didn't find it appealing at all. Since there is a lot of activity there, it feels like mass processing. Just clear the table quickly for the next people.

Had a great evening at El Cortjo for the second time. The Basa wine was a delicious recommendation and the tapas all you can eat promotion was a filling decision, great selection. The finale was an orange ice cream. See you next time. :)

The food was a delight! A wonderful tapas restaurant with an excellent ambience and service! Simply recommended.

Simply great! Ate very tasty baby calamaris, batatas bravas and steamed vegetables. Even seemingly mundane things like the latter are absolutely delicious. For me the best Spaniard in Germany so far! Unfortunately, because of all the deliciousness, I forgot to take photos.

Super attentive service, great food!! Grilled baby calamari, amazing. Great mussels, great children's menu. You sit adequately and appropriately, the toilets are very nicely decorated with traditional tiles, we will definitely come back. You too?!

Nice atmosphere with very good Spanish cuisine. The service is very attentive and friendly.

The food is the best Spanish food I know in Hanover and I write that as half-Spanish. Not the cheapest restaurant in Hanover. Also, always make a reservation otherwise it won't work. Unfortunately, public holidays are closed. I can understand for the families of the employees as a guest... Food as usual, excellent! Price very high.

Not bad at all. But I always expect something special from a restaurant. The small squids were tasty but the other food was ordinary. There were many people in the hall on the second floor, who were placed close to each other. It was tight and there was not enough air. Not all waiters were friendly.

We had a lovely evening at El Cortijo yesterday. The food was of very good quality and super tasty. Everyone was enthusiastic about the starters and main courses. The service was very attentive and quick, even though the restaurant was packed to capacity.

Ate and drank deliciously. You felt like you were on vacation. Very nice staff.

All the tapas were excellent and the steak was also perfect. The red wine sauce was sensationally delicious. We had a great evening here.

A great restaurant with a nice atmosphere inside, friendly staff and fantastic food. We ate outside because the weather was great. The atmosphere there isn't that great, but it's okay. One of the best Spanish restaurants we have ever been to. The super delicious aioli tastes divinely good, as do the different tapas, the sangria and the Spanish beer. We will definitely come back again and again.

The most important thing: eat really good. Ambience very nice and cozy. There is still room for improvement in the service. Our service was a bit peculiar. At least the boss did a good job afterwards. 👍 Hence all the stars.

A little too loud. Service a bit brisk.

Really nice Spanish food in the town😋

Four of us sat outside. The ambience right on the thoroughfare in Altwarmbüchen is not that great. In addition, at times you will be bombarded by loud music from the adjacent fitness center. That might not please everyone. The service was attentive when we arrived, the food order was taken quickly and the food was delivered in a timely manner. Afterwards, however, they neglected to ask again about any further drink or food requests. With an outside temperature of 28 degrees, there was definitely a need. The quality of the food was otherwise good. The restaurant is recommended.

1st visit invites you for many more.. I'm already looking forward to the next evening

Delicious tapas & Vino Tinto Verano... Gladly again and again 😊... Service friendly & ..dominant..😉 Ambience ..actually nice .. but unfortunately no barrier-free access to the toilet/stairs ..and unfortunately the background noise is too loud... Ambience...hence only 4 stars..

After a long time, another lovely evening at El Cortijo. Attentive staff and a cooperative boss. Thanks to Juan - also for the short conversation.

If you like tapas, you can't miss El Cortijo. I can't rate the ambience inside; outside you sit separated from the street in front of the restaurant by a hedge, so you can easily hide it; similar to the neighboring fitness studio. The food is the focus here and rightly so. The tapas menu is extensive, mini calamari, mussels, anchovies, grilled shrimps, garlic chicken and much more are offered and enjoyed.

We ordered tapas and they were very good. Maybe pay more attention to asking for drinks again.

Always delicious. Not cheap but inexpensive.

Delicious food, great atmosphere, good service - gladly again

The other reviews are not misleading. The food is excellent, the service was very friendly and the food came quickly. You can't ask for more.

Always a well-rounded affair. Steak is on point and the service is always attentive. My personal favorite is the pepper steak in cream sauce. Coconut ice cream or Creme Catalan is always an option for dessert. Anyone who is a fan of presentation will be happy about the meat skewers. I recommend making a reservation as the location is always busy.

Quality of the food is very good. But too many tables outside for the number of staff, who are very friendly. So bring your time (only one person will collect).

1 kilo of prawns, only recommended.

Food is good average... Service leaves a lot to be desired with some waitresses... Unfortunately, the risk of recurrence is low

Great service and delicious food. Priced humanely. 🙂 Very tasty beer! Recommendation: grill plate or salad with chicken strips.

Considering the quantity, the tapas are sometimes too expensive! 4 bacon-wrapped dates €5.90. 2 small slices of fried Manchego €7.50. I don't understand why the aioli has flavor enhancers according to the menu. To be honest, I find it quite a shame. At least it was put on the table for free with very tasty bread. When our meal was coming to an end - mind you, we weren't finished yet - the waitress wanted to start clearing away. I would have at least asked if it could be something else. So the feeling arose that sitting for a longer period of time, even with another drink, was not desirable.

Wordless service, no information received about Wednesday's offer. Overall the treatment was below average.

Once again “to the Spaniard” with family. All of course the garlic chili prawns + A few little things. As always, delicious.

I'm not a strict vegan, but try to eat vegan if it's not too complicated. Unfortunately there is no indication in the menu as to what is vegan, so one star is deducted. Based on my guess, I ordered the following tapas: wrinkled potatoes with spicy red mojo sauce, bread with tomatoes and garlic (the Italians call it bruscetta) and pimientos de padron (small green peppers with delicious sea salt). All three were delicious, varied and, for me, enough to keep me full. Since I suspect that the three dishes were vegan, I would say there are delicious options for vegans too. It would just be nice if these could also be marked in the menu so that you can be sure and don't have to ask :-) In addition to these tapas, Misto could also be vegan (stewed vegetables) - but it doesn't sound that exciting to me, so I didn't order it . Otherwise, the tapas of my companion also tasted very good (dates wrapped in bacon, chicken in whiskey sauce and prawns, although it has to be said that a few of the prawns did not reach the good standard of the others (that was the majority) in terms of taste , but I think that's a problem of overfishing and completely normal when you order prawns that not all prawns are at the top taste level). You can sit outside or inside and the service is attentive and quick. The wine prices are comparatively cheap. Tip for anyone unfamiliar with Spanish food: it's very garlicky, so order plenty to drink! We'd love to come back - El Cortijo is the best Spanish restaurant we know in Hanover and the surrounding area!

Great service and super good food. A really great place!

Simply brilliant in all respects

Super delicious food and great service. The only criticism is that it feels like you're sitting outside in a parking lot and some of the tables and chairs are crooked because the terrain slopes down. Otherwise everything was great! We'll definitely be back.

- our drink request was only accepted after we had eaten the bread with aioli - Drinks were brought quickly, just before the meal - it might be funny for others: The waitress at the neighboring table thought she was having a joke, she offered the guests our food (despite her knowledge that these guests had ordered tapas) with the statement: "It was just a joke, it's not their food, it's them Never order something like that. It goes to another table." And then put the food in front of us... - Grilled chicken breast with vegetables and potatoes + Grilled pork with vegetables and potatoes => the chicken was so oversalted that it could only be eaten with pork sauce, but the potatoes had no salt and were not crispy, as you would expect from patatas bravas elsewhere. The entire plate was very carelessly arranged, spread chicken with a spoonful of vegetables (carrot/mushroom/zucchini) and the potatoes for toothless people. The pork was OK, but it was swimming in a sea of ​​gravy. Arranging things beautifully is something else. I expected something different when I go out for Spanish food and don't order tapas. I could have had this in any restaurant. - After clearing away we were offered an “ice cream parlor” card. This is now the second time that I've gone home disappointed from this restaurant (the first visit was tapas evening, we didn't like it at all/portions weren't appropriate for the tapas price) small trivialities: - our table wobbled with every movement -Next to us in the window sill were all the charging stations for the table lamps, they couldn't be anywhere else than in the guest room - I totally missed the Spanish atmosphere.

Finally went there after many recommendations and I was thrilled. We'll be back 😋

The first visit - there will be a few to follow! I recommend this restaurant and can actually only report positively: despite other prophecies of doom here, the service was completely normal and absolutely good. Food: experienced Spanish guests certainly know which tapas taste like - I'll try them out (not "have to", I want to ☺️). I had the beef skewer: super tender, meat and vegetables full of flavor. Great. My son had chicken in almond sauce and loved it, I forgot to try... My daughter fish in a clay pot with mussels and vegetables - a taste explosion! Very very tasty! Attention: Gambas are only available on Mondays. I have to take photos of the food again and can't wait to go back.

Prices are reasonable. Food average. Service unfriendly and arrogant.

A small company event took us with nine people to the Spanish restaurant El Cortijo in Hanover Altwarmbüchen. Not knowing what the weather would be like, we reserved our table in the cozy interior of the restaurant. Now the weather was open and warm and we quickly rescheduled without any complications and we were able to spend our evening on the cozy outdoor terrace. The cold Spanish beer was served to us immediately and then rounded off with recommendations from the kitchen with the most delicious dishes. Spanish classics, plenty of shrimp, fish and meat, everything was perfect. The service was prompt, the food was on point and the price-performance ratio was right. Finally, a Spanish schnapps on the house's account. All in all, a real recommendation and our special thanks go to the friendly staff and of course the owner family. Gladly again… P. S. Daniel we will miss you and always carry you in our hearts. :)

Eat in Hannover~ This Spanish restaurant is located on the outskirts of Hannover. There are probably not many tourists coming here. The menu is only in Spanish and German. I ordered seafood risotto, grilled rolls, and fish soup. I always wanted to drink hot soup when I came to Europe. , this bowl of fish soup did not disappoint me, the soup is fresh and delicious! The seafood risotto, grilled rolls and pre-dinner bread are all very delicious. I will come again next time I come to Germany! !

A really wonderful evening yesterday with my wife. Start with mixed tapas, then a skewer of turkey for her and beef for me. Everything was very tasty, fresh and hot. Friendly service and nice atmosphere. We will repeat that.

Simply a MUST HAVE!!! We love it in winter, simply cozy and authentic... We love the terrace in summer... The food has been top for years, super delicious wines, a piece of Spain 🇪🇸, we go to Juan and Elena's at least 2-3 times a month, a wonderful break from everyday life. We recommend 3-4 tapas to share as a starter and then a wonderful fish or skewer as a main course.

Super tasty paella eaten... pleasant atmosphere, friendly service. You just feel comfortable...

One of the best Spanish restsurants with a wonderful ambience on every floor to make you feel good. A delight for the eyes and palate.

Highly recommended, food was on the table after 5 minutes... was hot and tasty....

Hello everyone, I was with you last night with my two children and my best friend to celebrate my 55th birthday a little. We had reserved a table for 4 people on the upper floor and received it. All of the dishes tasted very, very tasty and were absolutely fine in terms of price/performance ratio. The food was warm and the side dishes were plentiful. Our drinks and additional orders were brought to our table quickly. We really liked the ambience of the whole restaurant and felt very comfortable. Unfortunately, our service lacked a certain relaxedness and friendliness. The 4 of us found the good ladies quite unfriendly, both when we first ordered and when we re-ordered dessert. An example of several situations that have struck us as unpleasant: Here the lady thought she wanted to teach us what a closed menu meant for the service, which was simply not right. At the beginning we took this with a certain sense of humor and wanted to lighten the situation a little. Unfortunately, the service here was not up to the task and seemed rather instructive to us. Even though your house was very busy at the time and the ladies were definitely stressed, we found it inappropriate to react like that. We will certainly be happy to visit your restaurant again as we really liked and liked everything else. We just don't want to be served by this lady anymore. With this in mind, I wish you and your team a successful rest of the week. Best regards Rainer

Recommended! I will definitely come back for dinner. We went to the restaurant for dinner. We were welcomed straight away and a table was immediately prepared because it was very busy. The food came to the table quickly and there was always someone at the table you could talk to. We were also occasionally asked if everything was OK. Everyone was very friendly and the food was very good and freshly prepared. I can highly recommend the skewers.

Super nice and attentive service. Drinks and food came very quickly. Food was tasty and prices are okay.

We were in transit, discovered by chance, what a stroke of luck. Very good food (tapas!) paired with fast service. Reservations from 6:30 p.m. seem to make sense, we were there earlier and it became full over time.

Super tasty and good value for money 👌

Der einzige Spanier weit und breit, der wirklich echt spanisch ist. Von unseren spanischen Freunden aus Madrid verifiziert:-) Ambiente toll, Essen super und mmer voll… einfach ein Kurzbesuch in meiner Wahlheimat!

Very nice service, super delicious food. The ambience was also ok, just a bit very loud.

Delicious food and a friendly staff.

Definitely worth a visit again and again. 👌

Very tasty food! I can only recommend.

Very tasty tapas, friendly service

My dinner: Beef skewer (at least 200 grams) with vegetables for €26.80 - sounds good - tastes very good - but for 4 pieces of meat + 4 half potatoes + 2 pieces of pepper + 2 mushrooms + 4 pieces of zucchini + 2 pieces of onion + 2 slices of carrot - too expensive. There were also 2 large kola and a crema catalana for almost €7, all in all €43.30 Well, a good dinner if you don't want to eat a lot.

What a beautiful restaurant, simply great value for money and definitely excellent again every time.

We were able to enjoy very good tapas and great main courses! Despite a full restaurant, the service was smooth, friendly and quick. We come more often now 😃

Finally found what I was looking for ☺️ We are absolute tapas lovers but we hadn't 100% found what we were looking for in Hanover until last week, but now! We were very pleased with the atmosphere and the friendly staff as soon as we arrived. The tapas were quickly at the table and delicious. We also had a pint of sangria which was also very good. Gastronomy where there is still friendly service and good food. Thank you very much for the lovely evening and we would love to come back.

Everything was great, it was actually a positive surprise for us

Business lunch for 5 people, excellent from A to Z,...completely great service, very tasty, absolute recommendation, thank you very much

Dieses Restaurant ist etwas besonders. Das Ambiente ist sehr stimmig, ich habe noch nie einen so schön eingerichtetes spanisches Restaurant besucht. Die Speisekarte bietet einige Überraschungen, die ich sonst auch noch nirgends gesehen habe. Noch dazu schmeckt es ganz hervorragend. was will man mehr?

Stopped there for dinner on the way to Hamburg. The best decision. Great ambience, very good food, top service. We can only highly recommend it.

Delicious food, good drinks. However, a bit too expensive for me personally.

Great restaurant. Tapas as a starter was very good. Nice ambience. For my main course I had a meat skewer with vegetables. The vegetables were cut a little too roughly. Unfortunately, dip was only a very small bowl. Overall but good restaurant. P.S. The waitress wears her glasses on her chin, which just seems strange and bothered several of us. 😜

Top, tasty and high quality. We will be back.

The food you get is top! We were there with a fairly large group and had a few problems with the service, which originally prompted me to write a negative review. However, the operator reacted immediately and took care of the matter seriously and promptly. Really good! Maybe it would be good to communicate directly with the guests in the case of large groups and staff absences and prepare them for waiting times... I can't offer a better solution for the shortage of skilled workers - but talking often helps. P.S.: there are errors in the wine list between the menu and the printing/contents of the bottle...this should be checked and corrected if necessary 😉. Thank you for the good reaction 😊!

Great Spanish restaurant with lots of tapas, delicious red wine and a pleasant atmosphere. However, very tight seating is authentic, like in Spain.

We had the mixed tapas plate that was really tasty and plentiful. Great service, friendly, fast. Any time.

Was in the restaurant today on Monday around 6:30 p.m. and just managed to get 2 seats without a reservation. The store was completely booked, but everything was well organized, very friendly service, food and drinks came very quickly. I visit a lot of restaurants, but I haven't experienced such top service in a long time. 😃👍

This Spanish restaurant in the Hanover region exceeds all expectations: excellent tapas, authentic dishes and a very good wine selection. The atmosphere is warm, the service is attentive and super friendly. A culinary highlight that truly deserves the title of the BEST Spanish restaurant in the region. An incomparable experience that should not be missed. Highest recommendation and five well-deserved stars!

It was a very successful evening. The food was very tasty and plentiful. We had a Tappas platter for 2 people. We received a very friendly welcome and the service was very attentive. The atmosphere is very nice to look at and you feel comfortable. The price is reasonable. We look forward to your next visit! Thank you

Nice and well-equipped restaurant. Menu with enough good offers. The food was excellent today.

Simply the best Spaniard there is.

I'm really excited. Went there with some nice colleagues. We felt completely comfortable. The speed and quality that was offered there was simply great. We will come back. Thanks to the team.

Absolutely great atmosphere, super nice and fast service. The food can only be described as amazing and the time from ordering to eating was amazing. We'd love to come back.

Attentive and quick service. Tapas and main course were very tasty. The prices are worth it. We'd love to come back!

It was my first but definitely not the last time there... Everything was just right

Unfortunately we only get 4 stars for the service because drink requests were not recognized. Otherwise a great restaurant. However, the cloakroom at the entrance needs to be reconsidered. 😉 The food was super tasty and, above all, quick. So I will recommend it and come back if I'm nearby.

Great food, great service, good grappa!

Unrivaled good!!! We've been eating here often since 2009 and have never had a reason to complain. The food is without exception very good. Highly recommended, especially the tapas. This is also supplemented by daily recommendations. It's also worth taking a look at the wine list. There are some very good wines to be found here. The ambience is fantastically beautiful and bodega style. Whether you just want to have a few tapas with wine or beer or want to go out on a festive night. Everything is possible here. The service is excellent. Fast, friendly and competent. And that, even though it's quite stressful with the crowds. Reservation is actually a must. Instead, you dine in what we consider to be the best Spanish restaurants we know.

Spain meets Altwarmbüchen! Exceptional tapas & main dishes, plus great, friendly service. Always happy!

Super delicious food. Nice service. Come to El Cortijo and let yourself be pampered in Spanish. 😀👍
