    We came in simply because the menu outside included a LIST of vegan options and they were all…read more€12.95. Nothing on the menu over €20! (We fed five for less than €100 - note: no appetizers or alcohol and just one dessert) Vegan options at the time of this review: Quinoa and veggie soup Seasonal salad Veggie tartar (veggies, lime, ginger, avacado) Hummus and pita Moroccan-style tabouleh Rissoto w/zucchini Veggie (fried) spring rolls w/orange sauce Thai-style noodles and veggies And... The veggie burger (with carrot sauce) We ordered a single order of bread to start (€1) and also got two little shots of spiced garbanzo soup with it. We heard the server make sure it was vegan before she brought it. Tasty and a warm welcome on a cold day. I'd order a whole bowl of it if I saw it on the menu. Our server recommended the rissoto - an excellent choice. It's made with wheat and a creamy sauce, with zucchini and carrots mixed in. Portion size was perfect. If you can't tell in the photo - it's a pretty thick cylinder! Overall - impressed with the food quality and the service. Vegans rejoice. If you're eating with non-vegans - everyone will be happy!

    First of all, the photos on here are massively out of date. This place has obviously had som kind…read moreof refurb at some point and does not have any of the garish pink walls or zebra print. Instead they have done a modern yet tasteful look with branding that I love. We visited on a Thursday evening and after spending a few days in Salamanca soon understood why El Pecado wasn't doing a roaring trade. It was quite expensive compared to it's competitors. Now I understand what they are trying to do... what they are 'trying' to do, is be a 'fine dining' establishment and this is reflected in the prices and the presentation of the food. Now they are not quite a fine dining restaurant but this does not mean that they aren't doing lots of things right. The food we had was great. Not fantastic but certainly delicious and I enjoyed every part of my meal. I particularly loved the prawns I had as a starter and would definitely recommend them. The service we had was also very good. Maybe a little slow considering there was only one other table, but still I left satisfied that our waitress had attended us well and with a smile. Overall, I would recommend this place to eat... but I would suggest having the set menu at €25 for 3 courses as that would seem much better value than our bill which I thought was far too steep.

    I had a fabulous experience at La Mariseca. I was at a loss of where to go for lunch in Salamanca,…read moreand when I passed this place the waiter pointed out the "Menú del día" to me. 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!

    Very touristic.....but it tastes fine......I hope. Generally…read moreit's not bad since it's very cheap but let's just say the food is just mediocre and boring. The price is but fair for the food in this area. I have to say, you can find much better food everywhere else in Spain.
