Casa Paca

This restaurant was a disappointment. The food was mediocre at best and the service bad and slow. You can find much better options in Salamanca. Not recommended.

Visited (at hotel’s recommendation) on Christmas Day for dinner. It’s a busy place and I found the waiter service, food quality and value good. What I did not appreciate was the attitude shown by the manager/owner who barked at me for daring to enter for my reservation at 20:00 15 mins early. There was also finger pointing. Quite inhospitable and unwarranted - We could easily have been seated and offered a drink, but instead had to freeze outside in -3 or go somewhere else for a drink (which we did and was very welcoming).

We asked our hotel receptionist where she'd go if she could go anywhere and someone else was paying. She said "Casa Paca" without skipping a beat! All around amazing.

A delightful place that conveys authentic Spanish gastronomic culture. The food, along with the wine served, was impeccable. While the senior waiters were professional, and maintained the appropriate style one would expect in a restaurant of this kind, the junior staff—particularly the two young lads—seem to lack an understanding of their role. Of course, no one expects a waiter to bow these days, but a decent level of politeness and respect towards guests wouldn't go amiss. So please, behave, and stop being rude.

We made a reservation for our family group, and the experience was pretty disappointing. The owner/manager that took our order was pretty rude and condescending while trying to impose on us some orders we do not want. The food, although looked OK was pretty "flat" with some common base sauce that made most dishes taste the same. The specialities around oxtail are simply disappointing. The only dish worth trying was the stewed "toro" tomatoes with cheese sauce. Service was overall bad, with an awful maitre taking the order and the exception of our nice waiter (a tall gentleman with white hair) that was clearly overworked but tried its best and was always courteous and attentive. A very disappointing experience after a long weekend of excellent food experiences in Salamanca. The restaurant itself was nice, but our table was located in corner with uncomfortable access to half of it (The table needs to be moved and the rest of the people stand up in order to get in and out)
