El Bodegón Tavern
Mesón El Bodegón
An affordable traditional tavern serving only Cuenca home cooking, with excellent reviews for its morteruelo and ajoarriero.
A traditional mesón (tavern) in the new town, with a menu made up almost entirely of local Cuenca dishes. Several food guides recommend its hot morteruelo, house-made ajoarriero and braised pork knuckle, and it also offers a weekday set menu. Average spend is about €20–30 per person, with a Google rating of about 4.4. It has a semi-enclosed terrace with a heater, but seating is limited, so calling ahead on weekends is wise. Service can be slow during peak hours, and some reviews describe the service as average.
