Staff were friendly and service was decent, but we went at 6PM on a Saturday and were served food that was clearly frozen before. Additionally, there are some cleanliness issues with crumbs on the chairs and a puddle of grease/oil underneath my plate when we first arrived. Could have been a bad day and hopefully food is good when made fresh

Good and consistent, at least for the last ten years.

It's such a lovely place to go with a date or with a friend. I recommend the eggplants with honey as well as the patatas with aioli. They have a great selection of wine, so I advise you to try at least 3 of them.

Moved to the area a few months ago and Tasca has become a regular favorite! Each dish has been delicious, every server has been kind and attentive, and the drinks are also great. They are only open in the evenings which provides a nice atmosphere as well. Overall well worth it!

Food is always great but service is spotty. The place has changed since we first started dining here but the food is fairly consistent and worth the visit.

Wonderful! Tasca is a great place to bring a friend, a date, a group of friends, and share some tapas with! The whole menu looks delicious and everything is very reasonably priced! You get great portions with each item and you leave feeling full and happy!

Casual place with good tapas selection. The sangria is good but wish the pitchers were larger. Our favorite thing we ordered was the brie with apple chutney.

Best tapas restaurant in Boston. Delicious food, kind staff and great prices.
Wow, THAT was disappointing. The family went expecting some delicious tapas, but instead we got an approximation of what a person who has never eaten tapas, thinks what tapas should be. Ox tail: greasy and lacking seasoning. Pan tomat: this is supposed to be a crunchy bread with fresh tomato rubbed on it and just a little taste of garlic, finished off with a flavorful EVOO. Instead, we received an orange-colored cream dumped on some soft and doughy pizza bread. Disgusting. Setas al ajillo: nope. Not even close. Pulpo a la gallega (octopus): this is where they get that one star. Perfect! Charcuterie board: featuring cheeses from a nasty corner bodega, not too impressive. Thanks for the guava paste, though. Meat empanadas: delicious. Not Spanish, per se, but delicious. Service: perhaps train the service to be careful putting things on the table so they don't stick their hands into the other dishes on the table. I feel like the chef is not from Spain. I bet a/he is from a Spanish speaking Caribbean country. This would be a great restaurant for Cuban, Puerto Rican, or Dominican food. Well, now you know.

The restaurant overbooked and had a line of 10+ guests with reservations waiting outside in the cold to check in. Not worth it.

One of the best Tapas restaurants you'll come across in Boston. This spot is always bustling and everything is delicious. The servers are all friendly and understand the timing on your order. Love coming to this place, always.

This place is a total waste of time! They overbooked by DOZENS of people on Valentine's Day. I had a 7:30pm reservation for 2. Got there a few minutes early and there was a line out the door of 15 or so people, all waiting for a reservation, meanwhile there was not a single open table in the restaurant. My girlfriend and I waited another 20 minutes and watched another 5+ couples show up, while not a single person got seated. Spoke to a hostess or server and they said to just get in line and wait - no apology or anything for the blatant disregard for people's time. What a horrible business. DO NOT GIVE THIS PLACE YOUR MONEY.

I've been coming here since the early 2000s when I lived nearby. While I applaud anyone who can keep a restaurant going in this economic climate and understand whatever compromises are needed to make that possible.....the food just doesn't taste the same now.For example, a favorite dish was always the gambas al ajillo (shrimp with garlic), which was juicy, crisp shrimp served in a ~6 inch skillet full of still-sizzling oil with the most amazing huge slices of garlic. Now it's the tiniest dish with maybe 5 overcooked shrimp, little oil, little flavor, and a ridiculous sprinkle of paprika on top to emphasize the overall desiccation. We also had chorizo croquettes and steak with chimichurri that were newer menu items, and fine but not amazing.We did really like the bread pudding dessert served warm with ice cream and caramel sauce, and the tortilla espanola was still amazing and just how I remembered it. I just really miss the shrimp how it was before! <sob>Parking: Restaurant has placards available that allow parking in nearby Whole Foods lot.
