    Overcooked yet cold and extremely bland. A great disappointment, each dish sent back as it was just too cold, we then get a complementary dessert of what must have been reheated stale churros. On the positive side, excellent staff, good service, and very apologetic - maybe it was a one-off occurrence, but once too many for me.

    I have dined in La Tasca a few times in the restaurants near Oxford Street and near Covent Garden in London. We usually order some tapas and then the paella for two. I totally loved the food, very well prepared and very delicious, the service we had was immaculate, friendly and helpful staff, the prices are reasonable for central London, the atmosphere is very pleasant, the restaurants were clean and tidy, so were the bathrooms. All in all I really enjoy La Tasca and would definately go again an ...

    As there are quite a few negative reviews about La Tasca on here, thought I should report a good experience of La Tasca in Kingston last night.

    We turned up mostly because we had a 50% off voucher - always a bonus, and I have to say that at full price it might be a bit over-priced (but then I'm a cheap-skate)!

    However, though the place was busy, we were found a pleasant table outside (by the river), and served quickly with a selection of tapas which, while not perhaps what you would get in Sp ...

    I have dined so many times at La Tasca in London and will be coming there very often when there is a chanse. The place has a great price-quality ratio and wonderful atmosphere. You don't have to be an expert in spanish cuisine to order something at La Tasca, but merely relax and enjoy almost everything in their menu. Starters and main meals have the same size and similar in price, and that's what makes it so special, to have 3-4 different and delicious meals, combine them so that they would comp ...

    My first and only visit to La Tasca in Solihull. Paella, dried rice with a few peas and bits of carrot, Croquetas de pollo - supposed to be chicken and was is fact mashed potato with chicken flavouring deep fried in batter. Salad, a few bits of lettuce and cucumber. All dishes were approximately £5. each. It was all a big rip off. We left with a feeling that we had been 'had'. No wonder the restaurant has to give away money off tokens for people to go there. Avoid at all costs.
    I wi ...

    The recent menu changes at La Tasca are a disappointment. When they advertise paella why fob customers off with long grain rice, a cheap alternative and an insult to any Spaniard, not to mention against the trade description.The batter for the gambas garbardina, is now a cheap 'Farmfoods style' alternative. The light beer style batter was far more authentic.The patatas bravas is now far from 'brave' and is nothing more than a tin of tomatoes thrown on potatoes.

    Just visited La Tasca on Greek Street in Leeds. I have to say that the service was quite good - our Autralian waiter from Perth was excellent! However the food was terrible. The paella should have been done under the trade descriptions act. Its was greasy, it had been cooked on an oven, they had used tumeric instead of saffron BUT - the worst thing was that they used black (Maybe squid) ink to colour the bottom of the paella pan to simulate the burnt/crunchy bottom that is the best bit of an aut ...

    I love tapas but La Tasca shouldn't be allowed to use the word- the food we had in the Tring branch in July was the worst I've ever had and would make a Spanish person weep. 'Paella' like a boil-in-the-bag frozen job, squid rings grey and rubbery, the meat in the meatballs tasted so awful we wondered if it was off and left them, and the Spanish omelette was also grey ( a bit of a theme) and dry as cardboard. They charged £1 for bread! The children's menu 'generously' allowed 'one scoop' of ...

    La Tasca bristol Cabot circus. Lunch . The food was in general poor but edible. The deep fried prawn dish was good. However the bread dish was like a findus frozen pizza, the chorizo tasted reheated a number of times and the paella was just rice. We ate , we were hungry. The main problem was the price 4-5 pounds per tapas plate . We actually counted what we got for our money. Prawns £1.25 per prawn, 4 in the dish. Olives 30p each, ten in dish . Did not count the rice , paella dish, but pro ...

    Have been to the Durham branch twice, and recieved good, if a little slow, service and good food. So we decided to try the branch in York - a big mistake. The food took well over an hour to arrive, much of it was cold and fairly bland, the service was terrible - none of the waiters wanted to be there and we never saw the same face twice! Will not be going again.

    Inconsistent is the best I can say. We have had pretty good, acceptable and terrible food at a variety of La Tasca restaurants, and worse in the same meal. Our local La Tasca is one of the better ones so we do go back, but it is a bit of a lottery

    Very unsatisfactory meal at La Tasca. my girlfriend and I went to La Tasca for the first itme in years. It will be several more years before I go again!Initially, the bread was slightly stale. Not a great start. Then, the paella arrived. Seafood paella. It had 2 musslels in it, one peice of squid, and a limp prawn. That was it!The mixed salald was okay- if bland. It was mising the advertised egg though. The tiger prawns though! Yuk!!! hey were just mushy, horrible things. We sent them back and ...

    Recently visited La Tasca in Derby for the first time. Not being well versed in Spanish food, I was really looking forward to trying something different. One of our party of four had got a BOGOF voucher for the Tapas to Share menu, so it seemed like a good deal. What a disappointment! We had booked a table and arrived on time, only to be kept standing around by the sole waitress whilst she finished a conversation on her mobile. She did say it was the manager, but so what? Customers is cust ...

    Cambridge Branch of La Tasca.I went in on Saturday the 18th of April 09. Although the restaurant was almost empty, the staff were in a panic mode for no apparent reason. they failed to serve us correctly such as missing the cutlery taking away the empty plates. they delivered the potates burnt non edible, the food was such a disaster. this is one place i will never visit again! i have been to many la tasca before, they were all either good or excellent, this branch is absolutely rubbish!!! ...

    We went to La Tasca for Valentines lunch as we thought we could have a nice leisurely Spanish Tapas style lunch - How wrong we were!! The food was completely tasteless and we couldn't wait to get out. The only thing that tasted authentic was the Sangria. The Paella looked like Batchelors Golden savoury rice and tasted the same, the Gabas al pil pil which is supposed to taste of garlic and chilli and still be spiting when it arrives on the table tasted of neither and the oil was as still if it ha ...

    I'm a bit of a fan of La Tasca. I have eaten in a few branches. The one in the Trafford Centre in Manchester is nice because you enter the restaurant and you no longer feel like you are in a large shopping mall. I've had a few good meals in the one on Deansgate, Manchester as well. This branch can be pretty busy on Saturday nights though as they don't (or at least they didn't last time I went) accept bookings and people also go there for a drink as well as to eat. I have also visited the branch ...

    We went to La Tasca with a 50% off voucher and thank goodness we did, there is no way I would have paid full price.
    Before I even get on to the food we were asked to move table twice, as friendly as our waiter was, being asked to move for the second time just as your food arrives is seriously poor effort.
    Unappetising bread, tiny portions (yes I know its tapas but still...) TERRIBLE prawns, DRY chicken and HUGE salt crystals sprinkled far too liberally over all dishes.
