We were there very late at night. We were not sure if they were still open. Luckily they were. We…read morewere hungry after a night of drinking. We sat at the sticky bar and ordered some tapas and wine. I don't remember what they were, but they must have been good. It was expensive. Probably because they are located right on the square. It's an old, established restaurant. Lots of history here. The staff preformed pretty well, considering the late hour. My husband speaks Spanish, so it was easy to order and pay.

There are local tour guides who can walk you through the city and tell you some tidbits about the history and architecture. This was a refreshing place to get a decent lunch. Several outdoor tables, attentive waiter service and good geared toward most tourists - my companion opted for a steak with eggs and French fries : huge portion but she said her steak was tough. I got a theee course Plato de dia : the first was a revuelto or scrambled eggs with garlic chives , followed by slow roasted pork with a sweet sauce and lastly a custard made in the local style -it was a large portion again! I was not prepared for the huge servings, which also included a bottle of water plus €1 for Al fresco dining. I wanted to try the business across from it which was for takeaway Argentinian empanadas but there was no room for more food!

For €13 and following the waiter's recommendations, I had a beer, a quite sizeable appetizer of black rice with cuttlefish (I would say meal-sized), an entrée of "Tostón", fried suckling pig served with tast potatoes, and finally, a large portion of lemon bar with fresh fruit to garnish. Service was attentive and friendly. Would definitely recommend!! Me lo pasé genial a La Mariseca. No sabía por dónde ir a comer, y cuando pasé por este sitio, el camarero dirigió mi atención hacia unos platos en el menú del día. Por sólo €13, según las recomendaciones del camarero, tomé una cerveza, una entrada bastante grande de arroz negro con sepia, un plato principal de Tostón, un plato típico salmantino, y una porción de crostata de limón servida con frutas como guarnición. El servicio era atentivo y amable. Seguramente recomendaría este sitio a mis amigos!

It was fun watching the chefs prepare the dishes. We felt like we were watching Top Chef. Great atmosphere. We had a variety of tapas, all excellent. We had the Pork skewer marinade Moorish style, the smoked Iberian top shoulder pastrami bun, grilled pork belly roll, the lamb "pincho" oaxaca, and white wine. The most interesting item was the lamb "pincho". We were told to eat it from the bottom. The top had a chocolate syrup. It was a combination of savory and sweet. We really liked it! I really wanted to try the braised scallop, but was pretty full by then. In fact, we gave some of the pork skewer to our friends who were at the next table. For tapas, it's on the pricey side, but the taste, quality, culinary experience and presentation outweighed the prices. The staff was friendly and helpful when we were looking through the menu. If we ever get back to Salamanca, I would definitely dine here again.

This place has the added advantage of having some seat cushions they add to their seats. Dinner doesn't start until 8 PM, so be warned. We had some lovely dishes. The watermelon salad did not say that it came with chunks of salmon on it, so FYI if you order that. Pick a spot show was huge and very good. The order of croquettes is probably meant for three or four people, and for two people there were too many of them we couldn't eat them all. We shared a monk fish main plate after all that and it was also very tasty. The potatoes were a little plain that came with it but otherwise really good. Service was OK, it was very difficult to get the waiters attention when we finally wanted to leave and even after asking for the check.

My Spanish is very limited, but the girl at the counter was very patient and helpful while I fumbled and ordered my tapas.

This place made me feel welcomed which only enhanced my experience. I definitely recommend it!
