We were delighted with our meals and the price, especially after being taken advantage of on the square the day before at Tapas Gonzalo. We highly recommend Azogue Viejo for lunch or dinner. Seating outside or inside is available.

Ordered the spring salad came with tuna, from a can, a bit disappointing. The squid with white rice was interesting. The tentacles of the squid were tucked into the squid. The squid was tender, just a slightly salty than perfect. But I'm sensitive to salt, I'm sure others will love it. The rice pudding was delicious, put it into a four star instead of 3.

It looked like a good spot for authentic Tapas as well.

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.

I was in Salamanca, Spain last summer. My travel buddies and I spent the majority of our free time…read morehanging out in the plaza mayor, especially here at La Tentazion, which was one of my favorite spots. This is a very chic and modern bar that also serves traditional tapas. They have some excellent wine choices and also offer a nice variety of drink specials for beer on draft and in bottle. They are open all day and very late into the evening as well, so it's a place to go at noon or at midnight. I mostly loved La Tentazion for the environment. They offer both indoor and outdoor seating on the terrace, but beware they charge an extra fee (1-2 euros) for sitting outside, which seems to be common practice at many places in Salamanca. This place is so hip, even the bathrooms, which are located down a narrow stairwell, are modern and well decorated too. One big downside here was the lack of wifi. Most bars and restaurants around the city offer it, and when you are a tourist trying to avoid using any data on your phone, having access to wifi is like gold! I was pretty disappointed with that. Overall, the service was mostly good, and everyone here was nice about being patient with some of my friends who didn't speak spanish well when ordering. I did have one weird experience here that was a tad bit annoying. I went one day to grab an amstel while waiting to meet a friend and when I ordered the bartender asked if my beer was "for here or to go". Huh? Since when can you take beer "to go"? I told her obviously it's for here, paid my tab and sat at one of the outdoor tables. This was before i knew about the terrace upcharge and within 30 seconds she came outside chasing me down and yelling about sitting outside without paying the fee. Apparently by her asking if it was for here or to go, what she really meant was "Are you sitting inside our out?". Geez lady, I was a tourist who had been there literally 1 week at that point, cut me some slack!!! Overall though, I think she was an exception to the rule of nice and friendly service here and I highly recommend it for anyone looking for an ultra cool place to grab a drink or a small tapa and meet with friends.

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!
