I'm not the world's biggest fan of Spanish food. I was in Spain for business for about 9 days and…read moredid some traveling while I was there, so I ended up in Salamanca one night. I went out for dinner expecting the usual fare of bread and jamón and other such things but didn't have a place in mind. I chose Montero because it looked nice and cozy and was pretty close to the beaten track of tourist restaurants between the Plaza Mayor and the Cathedrals. This place however blew my mind. Everything we had was excellent. The rice tapa dish which sounded boring turned out to be the most flavorful stew of rice and cheese I've ever tasted. The picarones were the best I've had in Spain, and the salmorejo soup was as tasty as any I have had. I considered going back to Montero on my 2nd day in Salamanca, but decided to broaden my horizons by trying another place nearby, which turned out to be lackluster. If I ever travel to Salamanca again, I will definitely have to visit Montero.

My Spanish is very limited, but the girl at the counter was very patient and helpful while I fumbled and ordered my tapas. They have an extensive list of mostly meat tapas, with a throw in of a few vegetarian ones as well. I loved their recommendation of white wine as well. This place made me feel welcomed which only enhanced my experience. I definitely recommend it!

While a little thick, the batter was just perfect (and I usually don't like battered food). I also had the octopus. It was outstanding. It's easy to overcook octopus, but they didn't here. And I enjoyed a great white wine. A thoughtful place with declicious food. And the server was friendly and quick.

We left full of great tapas & wine for two (generous servings & pours) for a surprisingly low price!
