La Tasca

This is a below-​average branch of La Tasca. Well-​presented and slightly pricey Spanish tapas as usual, but there was an uncommonly pushy waiter.
Dined at the restaurant during my November 2014 trip to Liverpool. I’ve been to various La Tasca restaurants in England (Norwich, Leeds, etc). The menu is the same everywhere, of course, and the food is generally really good, and nicely presented. A bit pricey, too. The décor is also streamlined, and quite pleasant.
The thing that bothered me about this particular visit was the pushy waiter. Apparently, servicing a single traveler was beneath him, or he was not expecting a tip (which he did get, despite his behavior). It was obvious that he thought that 3 tapas and bread with olive oil for a single person were not enough. With a pint of on-​tap San Miguel these came to about UKP 25. So, why was he complaining?
Won’t go there again, if I ever get back to Liverpool. I like the La Tasca style, and their food. I did, however, not enjoy that particular dinner.

Very nice food and atmosphere. Service is a little bit ropey. Highly recommended for a loud and social night out with friends.

Nowhere near as good as other branches I’ve visited. Deafeningly loud, so that not only could our waiters not hear us but conversation was impossible. Our plates were cold, while our cocktail glasses were steaming hot from the dishwasher. Food was mediocre, service poor.

Lovely food here and the lunch time saver menu is first rate value well worth a tenner

Visited during Matthews Street Festival but was able 2 get a table no problem. There is a nice selection of tapas available but the highlight was the range of paella dishes which was very very good. Me & a friend shared the fish dish & it tasted amazing. Cooked 2 perfection. The house red went down a treat also. Left satisfied & impressed.

My boyfriend and I visited this branch on a recent trip to Liverpool, and although I think the service could have been quicker, but it was busy at the time. Expensive for what it was, as the portions were very small, but it was very tasty.
I especially enjoyed the chocolate fondue for afters. We used the doughnut sticks to sop up the last of the chocolate. We also had a Crema Catalana liqueur, kind of like Dooleys with an orangey twist.
Maybe next time we will try La Vina, as per henryslater’s recommendation.
Embarrassing gaffe of the holiday from my boyfrind # 5 646 435: He planned to say: Donde estas las cagaderos? which literally means Where are the bogs, please?

we love la tasca, food is cheap, service is fast and atmosphere is great to. Often bust so sometimes have to wait for a table, but worth the wait. Good if there is a group of people because you can order lots of different dishes to share. Saying that its also good if there are only a couple of you.
Also has great deals on like 50% off until 13 feb and meals for a tenner, you really can’t go wrong. Well worth a visit

I can imagine how nice it would be to dine outside this place on a summer day; I have only so far experienced its joys inside in the winter.
Nonetheless, it was a great experience. They have a number of deals available such as the Tapas For A Tenner menu, which has a good selection of items available, or you can just order a la carte and explore the entire menu.
Food is well presented and delicious, and a joy to eat. The staff are all Spanish so it adds to the authenticity of the experience and because of the interiors, it’s easy to think you’re actually in Spain; it’s cute and rustic.
The wine list is impressive and varied and there’s something to suit everyone; I find the descriptions they give to be accurate and reliable.
Do save some room for dessert as they have some really nice items on offer. Service is friendly and hospitable and you get a great deal whether you’re on your own or in a group.

Really used to like going to La Tasca a lot especially in the summer but have found on the last few occasions its lost quite a bit of its charm. Yes the choice and prices of food remains good (and the price is always a factor in trying something new in case you dont like it and you’re stuck with a full plate of it!) but drinks are very expensive and this can really make a big difference to the bill.
Service is always quick and staff are helpful but taking all this into account there are a lot of fabulous places to eat in Liverpool in competition and I would tend to choose other places first.

I don’t think you can go too wrong with La Tasca. They make great Tapas that actually is like the stuff you would get in Spain and they have a fantastically fun and friendly atmosphere. I always go for a pitcher of Sangria! When the tapas for a tenner offer was on you got such great value. All the tapas you can eat for £10 from their special menu (which had all the top dishes on it). I’ve always had really good and efficient service and have really enjoyed the food.

A great place to sit in the summer with a cool drink outside (weather permitting) watching the world go by as you tuck into delicious food. My favourite time here would be lunch in the summer, as I feel the interior is a little but crampped. For a girly lunch we’d normally order about ⁴⁄₆ plates to share and that is plenty.

Portions are very small and found the atmosphere dead.

Warm welcome, comforting Spanish Tapas, good value! If you have never done tapas before then get a few dishes each ¾ seems to work for me (as they are only small plates). The food is tasty and there is plenty of variety. The dessert deals are good value too — get a dessert and a drink from the list for a set price.
