"The food here is always excellent, and they don't scrimp on their portion sizes, especially the paella which is very generous! Don't be lulled in to ordering paella for the exact number in your party, as the portion size will be HUGE unless you don't plan to have any tapas starters. We were a party of 2 adults and 2 children (11 13). We had a selection of tapas starters (approx 3 pp) followed by a Paella Mixta for 2 people, and we were stuffed! This was more than sufficient, enough in fact for us to take away a doggy bag, which later fed 2 adults for dinner. The restaurant is consistently packed, especially on Saturday night so reservations are advisable to avoid disappointment or long waits. My only gripe is the service is very slow. We have eaten there on 2 separate Saturday nights and it always feels like they're a little short staffed. At one point in the evening I saw 5 staff behind or at the bar, and only 2 tending to customer tables. To give some context, at this time there were only 2 customers seated at the bar, but a full restaurant. If you're not in any hurry, then slower service isn't going to be an issue, however the absence of staff tending to tables does make getting the waiting staff's attention very tedious, and delivery of things like drinks very slow. My biggest issue with the restaurant is the toilets, in particular the ladies room. On this occasion 2 out of 3 ladies cubicles were unuseable, blocked with paper and other waste matter presumably this is due to poor water pressure and flushing, but whatever the reason, does not make for a pleasurable experience, resulting in a long wait for the 1 working loo."

Although the interia is funky and it looks ad though it would be good for evening cocktails, the food was extremely bland and tasteless. You can tell it is a chain with batch cooked food
Mila
Excellent atmosphere, great selection of tapas and Spanish draught beers. Very attentive service throughout. Had booked but no reference of booking at location, not a problem this time because we arrived early evening, an hour later the place was full.

I highly recommend this restaurant. We booked last minute on February 13th and our table was ready upon arrival, which is a rare occurrence on a busy evening. The waiter promptly took our drink orders as we perused the menu, which had a fantastic selection. I wanted to order everything on the menu! Our food arrived quickly and was absolutely delicious. The atmosphere in the restaurant was wonderful, and we didn't feel rushed at all. Many restaurants seem to usher you out as soon as you finish your meal, but La Tasca did not rush us. Well done La Tasca for a fabulous evening, I definitely recommend it!
