I love this restaurant, Ashley has been amazing both times I dined here, she is definitely the Tasca experience expert, the food she recommends is amazing, and don’t get me started with the drinks that are to die for. This restaurant has become one of my favorites to dine at. If you are ever in the neighborhood stop by and ask for Ashley she will treat you well :)

Tasca is a superb addition to the UWS cuisine scene. The menu and daily specials are exciting, and all our choices were executed perfectly. Service was outstanding. Lively bar scene up front on Friday evening. On a hot night, recommend dining downstairs which has a wine cellar vibe and in fact is much cooler than the main floor dining room. Tasca is located in the former home of Kefi's, for those who know that restaurant.

Tasca is my favorite restaurant on the upper West side. Absolutely everything I have ever ordered has been amazing. Frequently, I have a paella, but have had many of their other fish entrées as well. Always amazing. The service is always very good. A gem of the neighborhood.

We enjoyed ourselves. Three of us really liked the entrees. Unfortunately, the kitchen did not pay attention to the no garlic order on one entree and that was a disappointment.

It was an enjoyable meal, with attentive server, nice interior, and subdued lighting. The food was good, though expensive compared to the other Spanish restaurants on the Upper West Side.

We live in the UWS for many years and I decided to celebrate my husband’s birthday at Tasca. The overall experience was not great The food was good but the portions were too small for the price. Furthermore, our waiter was conceited and indifferent. We finished our main courses and our waiter disappeared and we were never asked if we wanted dessert and coffee. We never saw the dessert menu. Definitely the service needs a lots of improvement. We went to Tasca with high expectations but, we left with a feeling we will not return anytime soon. My husband is in the hospitality industry at the highest level for many years and was truly disappointed with the choice.

An early dinner brought us to La Tasca. We were warmly greeted and enjoyed a meal full of Caribbean flavours. We would recommend the Cod, which was expertly cooked and served. Regretfully we had to leave for an after-dinner appointment so could only enjoy one of their delicious shared deserts. Try this restaurant you will not regret it.

Our waiter was amazing. Very attentive. Appetizers were delicious. However I think they fired up our food kind of early mid appetizer as it was not hot just Luke warm and my medium duck seemed tough and overdone.

The Brunch from 1 point to 10 Point I give it a 5 points But the service and attention was Wonderfull 🥰 from 1 to 10 I give it an 11. Regarding the Sangría from 1 to 10 I give it a 9. I would go back but not to the Brunch... I think that if you want to enjoy Spanish-Cuban food, it is better to go after 5 pm and ask for some Rioja beer, wine, or sangria, and some tapas or a dish directly from the menu. They say they also have a Flamenco Show but on specific days; with reservation. I still had a great time; the waitress a super attentive charm; actually everyone. oh! You can also take your dog and sit at the tables outside. That’s so GREAT! 🥳

Great addition to the Upper West Side. The food was excellent, very flavorful, good selection and good for all kinds of diets. Service was attentive, not cloying. Noise level was quiet, until we were about to leave at 8:45, but you could still carry on a conversation.
