"Service was great, our waiter was friendly and made some good suggestions. Food came quickly and was always hot. Everything was delicious, we each did the $30 unlimited tapas menu and tried about 15 different things. Particular favorites were the empanadas, albondigas, bacon-wrapped pork, and the paella valenciana."

"We really enjoyed our dinner here. Very crowded in the bar for happy hour, no tables available. Service a little slow. Sangrias great and our food was really good. We selected the 65 tasting meat menu. Really good. Only reservation we could get was for 5, however, not really sure why, bc place didn't fill up in restaurant section til around 7 ish."

"This is an adequate spot with good tapas. Part of an international chain. Not a destination restaurant, but a good place to go before Verizon Center events or for after work drinks/snacks. Just not in the same league as Jaleo."

"We ate dinner at La Tasca on Sunday evening. Despite ordering a few minutes after 6pm, our food didn't show up for over 30 minutes. Our waiter clearly forgot our order as the table next to us sat down and received their food within 10 minutes. Once the food came out, we received no explanation of what each dish was nor did we get our full order. One of our tapas was never delivered HOWEVER it did manage to make it on our bill. We also had to ask twice for our pitcher of Sangria to be refilled. I understand the restaurant was packed, but plenty of restaurants find ways to satisfy their customers during peak dining periods. Never once did we get an apology or receive any sort of indication of concern from our waiter."

"Great sangria, fun tapas to share. Service was a little slow but we made it to Verizon in time for Soringsteen. Would come here again for a fun night out, good food, great sangria. It was hard to get a preconcert reservation anywhere near Verizon, but there were plenty of tables until around 6pm. Then it got busy."
