First visit was late in the afternoon and we all had drinks and light snacks (crepes with ice cream and nutella were awesome) while seated outside. Second visit was for breakfast before we headed off to go sight seeing. The main dining area was a bit busy and we graciously accepted a nice table on the lower level. Food was plentiful and was one of our favorite dining experiences during our trip. Definitely recommended!

My travel companion, who booked this, did not tell me the name of the restaurant beforehand. I was completely in the dark. Upon walking into the restaurant at 8:30pm, when they open, we were the first ones there, and were presented with a menu. So........ La Tasqueria's specialty is, erm, offal (this is more punny if you pronounce offal as "awful", since I'm not sure exactly how to pronounce this...). All offal. This was a surprise to all (there was not adequate research done beforehand, apparently). Now, I do love me some tongue (and the tongue appetizer they had was amazing)....and the pate from the tasting menu was one of the best things I've ever had. This was just...unexpected. And totally on us for not realizing. But we figured, what the hell, they specialize in offal, it must be offal-ly good. And it really was. The tasting menu was 4-5 dishes, and like I said, the pate was one of the best things I had ever put in my mouth. I could eat that all day. There was also sweetbread, which I thought at first was brain, but turns out it's throat glands (like, thyroid). This was delicious as well.....but I'll admit, we both had a hard time psychologically getting over the fact that it was...offal. The last dish was a stew made of cheeks (I can't remember if it was sheep or cow or pork), and this was my biggest regret -- I was SO full I could only take a few bites, because it was so heavy, but the stew was hot and flavorful and sticky, and just, delicious. I wish I had the stomach for it. They also had a cheese dish (we ended up taking home the cheese) and dessert. All in all, a really interesting and unique experience! Service was great.

Odds restaurant prides itself on catering to an extraordinary diner, with a variety of culinary treats to please a range of guests. They even offer specialty items for those sensitive to gluten. Along with one of my dearest friends, I enjoyed a fabulous lunch in Salamanca at Odds Restaurant. The restaurant's modern design drew us in immediately, as the fluidity of the curved chairs mixed with the straight angles of the square tables and bench seating heightened the contemporary feel. The restaurant also has a beautiful terrace right in the action of the city. We took the server's suggestion of sharing some appetizers, truly engaging in enjoying the gastronomic adventure together. We started with tuna belly and tomato tartare over guacamole with alfalfa sprouts and lime vinaigrette. Punchy and citrusy thanks to the tomato and lime flavor, this dish excited the taste buds. The sprouts added a nice crunch. We also opted for homemade croquettes, which are made every day and the fillings vary. The Foie Mi-cuit was delicious, cooked exactly as expected, and served with a sweet wine sauce on toasted bread. For my main, I chose stuffed meat ravioli with mushroom sauce, Parmesan cheese and truffle oil, which was earthy and balanced in flavor. My friend loved his grilled octopus with slowly cooked potatoes and red paprika oil, served on a stick. The octopus was expertly grilled, and the potatoes had a soft, creamy texture. The braised veal cheek stew over mashed potato cream seasoned with truffles was a major hit as well, a truly unique dish. Not able to forgo dessert, we opted for a red velvet cupcake with violet ice cream, and fritters stuffed with chocolate and banana, served with wild red fruit sauce. Indulgent, sweet, decadent. A wonderful finish!

Maybe because we really craved meat I mean don't get me wrong hummus is nice but it's not steak The tortellini was good but the mushroom really was just meh.

The Service was Terrible I have never had a waitress roll her eyes at us bc we were giving our orders and she wanted to x2 the order. And we had some people in the group that don't have perfect Spanish and she had 0 knowledge of any English. Which is fine until the eye rolling especially when they would bring out the wrong drink or took 30 min for a drink. I can't blame the Bartender bc he was by himself and got slammed, and the place was full. But the drinks he made were VERY GOOD. So for the Bartender and the food I give a 5, but the waitress a -1. I can't say that I would be back, but you never know.
