La Tasca Restaurant, Cambridge - Spanish Tapas Restaurant

Spanish has unique culture when comes to food, variety of dishes spread across the dining tables where friends and families will tuck in with joy and laughter. Remarkable seafood variety in Spain with sea surrounding their country. Amazing fresh and delicious seafood dishes like Fritos (fried fish), Calamari (fried squid), regional dish Paella  (with 3 variety of  with meat, vegetables or seafood with rice) and many more. 

Las Tasca Restaurant, with 4 categories; 
FROM THE SEA, FROM THE FIELD, FROM THE SALAD GARDEN & FROM THE VEGETABLE GARDEN. Wide variety and selection for Vegetarian & Gluten-free dishes also available in this restaurant. 

With Spain traditional music on the background and restaurant decorated with a strong feel of being in Spain, cosy seats with couch and pillows to high chairs with barrel as dining table available too. Bar counter serving wide variety of cocktails (Sangria, country wine or other wine if preferred) 

Food: If you like to try their varieties, look out for their promotion (Buy 1 get 1 free Tapas to Share) on Sunday to Friday, subject for promotion validity. Normally I go for this promotion with friends, had lots of dishes with a price of  £12.00 to £15.00 per pax. (Including non-alcoholic drinks)




Tapas to share, price range for each tapas is £3.95 to £5.95

Author note
I like to provide honest reviews for each dining experiences. For a couple times, when restaurant was quite busy. I have left waiting for around 20 to 30 minutes to place my orders and another 30 to 45 minutes for my food. I have walked away once after seated, as it no one came to us for orders at least 30 minutes so we are forced to leave. Reservation does help in getting seated, but avoid peak period (Fri or Sat dinner) if you doesn't want to wait. 

Personally there is a dish, that I tried and dislike in this restaurant; Tortilla Espanola which is Spanish Omelette. It was hard and dry so I never ordered it again.
