La Tasca York La Tasca Tapas Bar and Restaurant
Having now been to this great restaurant many times I can
say if you like Spanish food, you will like this place. It is a
group of restaurants and I have visited one other that was very similar.
That being,
nice Spanish feel to it, good fresh spanish cuisine well cooked
and presented. Never had a bad meal or bad service at the York version.
Good all round night
out can be had here for you and all your friends.

Thanks Bob a real awesome review there! My own personal review goes more like
this:
Its 3pm and I forgot about lunch. I'm hungry so I look for somewhere to
eat in the middle of town. I went first to a Greek place that said
they had stopped serving for lunch and then down a snicket and
round the corner
to find La Tasca. I opened the door and the effect was just one
of wow ... how did I not know about this place. Subdued lighting
and candles on an
afternoon was quite nice and the decor gave the place a good Spanish
feel. Good latin music all around and the atmosphere was basically
set for a quick
bite of Spanish culture in York.
I wasn't there for a full meal just a couple of dishes would be enough. Had a
look at a good range of tapas and paella dishes then decided. Chicken Croquets
with garlic mayonnaise and some Aubergines in a tomato based sauce.
Had a drink while waiting and a good look round. I have got to say that it was
really a nice looking place. Presentation means a lot and this place has some
style. Reading the menu further I noticed 3 different types of Rioja (a spanish
wine) on the menu and one reserve ... This I am partial to I must admit so I
will be back for an evening meal here to try it.
Food arrived and was hot but not tongue singeing. Croquets were well cooked,
crisp, with a nice flavour to them. The garlic mayo smelt and tasted of garlic
.. which does make quite a change from the norm. Being England most garlic dishes
seem to have a clove waved at them and that's about it but this stuff was rather
nice think they must have made it in house. Salad it came with was a little disappointing
but edible. The aubergines were a nice vegetarian option and were quite tasty
as well. To be honest the food wasn't really up to the standard of the decor
and atmosphere, but, it was not bad.
