Lovely spot for lunch. The more the merrier as then you can order even more tapas. Everything we had was delicious including jamón serrano, beets, chorizo (courizo), and a delicious sangria. Waitstaff were friendly and attentive. Surprisingly it was easy to hear each other, maybe due to the very high ceilings. Would definitely recommend!

Great place to grab some nibbles while wandering around Sonoma Plaza. Of course, I'm always looking for a Tapas type place so I feel like this was destined for me anyways. Portuguese in style and flavors, they have a number of tapas to pick from. How it works.... First figure out how hungry you are. Then take a look at the menu to see what catches your eye. Then determine how many you want to try... 3, 5, 7 for lunch. I wasn't super hungry and I knew we'd be having a wine and snacks later. So, we each went with 3. We pobably should have just ordered the 7 for the 2 of us as that would have been the better 'deal' so to speak. Oh well. Live and Learn. Serrano Ham - Great flavor, savory, tender, melted in your mouth. Not super salty. More Please. Beet salad - Big fresh chunks of beets! Light and Tasty! Picles (aka pickled veg) - These were fantastic. I would have purchased a jar to go if they offered it. Tosta Mista - SOOOOO Good! I mean... literally cannot go wrong with serrano ham, melted cheese on a lovely piece of toasted bread. Piri Piri Potatoes - Good but I would have preferred the outside of the potato to be crispier... Still they went well with everything else we ordered. Boquerones (white anchovies) - Yum! Now .... before you turn your nose up to anchovies.... you really should give these a try. White Anchovies are nothing like their cousin - the anchovies that are typically put on pizzas or used in the Caesar salad dressing. Those are very strongly fishy flavored and super fishy oily. White Anchovies are not. They are more delicate in flavor. Yes, they still have a fish flavor, but it is not as off-putting in flavor or smell as the other kind. I first had these in Spain and now look everywhere for them. Still the best was the ones we had in Spain. The search continues.... until I can go back. Would definitely come back to Tasca Tasca if we find ourselves in the area again. PS.... they are next door to my fave bubbly bar... SIGH! So, if you can start at one and then go to the other ... since they are next door to one another.

Very good! I had never been to a Tapas restaurant. Make reservations! This place was very busy on a Saturday night. I would love to go back there!
I had the pleasure of dining her with a group of friends. The food was delicious, and our server Peter couldn’t have been friendlier. He was very attentive and thoroughly answered Al our questions about the menu. A great place to try something new, and share “family style” if you have other diners.

Busy night at film festival. All tapas served on 1 plank except potatoes. More individual attention needed. Wines ok.

Absolutely perfect flavors, lots of options and the food was impeccable, scrumptious and to die for!! Wonderful service, great ambiance! Definitely coming back here! We had: mac and cheese, linguica, goat stew, tosta mista, crab empanadas, olive oil ice cream & rice pudding... I could eat all of this daily. Perfection!

Came to Tasca Tasca for dinner and overall had a really great dinner! The service was prompt, and food came out quick, even for a busy Saturday night, price was great for the tapas menu, we started with 7 savory bites, and then decided on 3 more bites for dessert, sliders and oysters were the big winners for us! Will definitely be back excited to try more items!
Stopped in based on the menu of Portuguese tapas and was not disappointed! We chose the 7 items for a set price and enjoyed every choice we made. The cheese was great after a little wine tasting. The fried empanadas were excellent as well as the beet salad. Staff was super friendly and service was prompt. I'd return when in Sonoma again!

Amazing authentic tapas! Everything is served tapas style so you have to decide how many you want and if you want to share. We did 8 tapas for 4 people and it was a great way to kick off the night. It’s a smaller restaurant but very calm and romantic. The food is delicious. Every single thing we had was Devine. I highly recommend the scallops. They literally melted in my mouth. If you are looking to try lots of new things this is for sure the place to go.Vegetarian options: The bites are small here so sharing is perfect for vegetarians and meat eaters. I was able to eat enough along side 3 meat eaters.Parking: There were plenty of places to park when we came in February.

We had a 12:30 reservation for three made at at least a week in advance, but it was not honored. They had no table for us. We opted to wait at the bar for an open table which took another 25 minutes. During that time we saw two other parties who also had reservations come in and also not get a table without waiting. The food was very good. We also did the red wine flight. Two of us had about a tablespoon of sludge at the bottom of one of the wines. The server did not offer to reimburse a flight or even replace the two glasses, but instead opted to bring us one glass of port to share amongst the three of us. I hope this place gets act together because we're locals and we would go again, but not for a while...

I kind of like the unknowns at this place, because they add to the ambiance. The food is always as advertised, so listen to the servers. I'm getting the goat stew next time for sure.
