Company Description
Being a native of Andalucia, I wanted to bring the dreamy tastes, sights, and sounds of Spain to Brighton. We aim to provide the best cooking, undeniably relaxing and fun atmosphere, along with a higher level of customer service. Our goal is delighting our customers with the romantic rustic atmosphere in that special place we know as Tasca Restaurant, in Brighton, MA.
Review & Rating
Place used to have value, but after dinner tonight I feel like I was fleeced. I hate that feeling.
Big selection of tasty tapas and a few entrees
Have had better experiences there in the past. Food was good as usual. Server though...not effective at reading the room, or the table at least. Was sounding either exhausted or altered. Announced to table next to us that for rest of night he'd sing the specials. I don't need table side entertainment. We tipped him close to 15%, which seemed generous given his inability to figure out we were deep in conversation. At end, after paying the tab he stopped me in the bar to ask what was wrong. Never had that before, although we rarely tip below 20%. I was not going to stand there and explain. Haven't been back since.
Good tapas place. The eggplant dish was overly sweet and bitter at the same time somehow.
Great new menu, excellent tapa, still a good deal, despite higher prices
Cozy environment, great food, and amazing pricing
Charming but dead as can be on a friday night where it ahould be jumping. Idk if this is bc they only reccomend their more expensive dishes to all customers or bc they can make u a margarita but they wont make any other drink w tequila. They have gin and tonic but we dont serve liquor? Of the 4 dishes we ordered 2 were excellent and 1 gross 1 so/so. Prices were reasonable. If u are in the are definitely check them out if looking for a cozy laid back atmosphere for a date or place to be low key w a few friends.
Decent tapas restaurant. Portions are very small (even for tapas). Most are very tasty. Service was a bit slow, but it seemed they may have been down a server. Atmosphere is that typical Spanish dark/dated scene. Two of us shared 6 plates and 2 glasses of wine for $75 including tip, so it's pretty reasonable.
Good food but small portions even for a tapas bar. For example, my husband and I ordered the crab cakes for $7 I believe, it said 2 came with it, which is fine but the size of the 2 crab cakes were smaller than I anticipated but they were good and the sauce was delicious. Would be worth going back.
I am so happy to live within walking distance to one of the only nice restaurants in the area. They clearly label everything for people with allergies or special diets. There’s a waiter that I’ve gotten a few times who is so nice and provides really good service. And the food is so good!!! :)
