La Tasca - Aberdeen in Aberdeen City

Had a great meal, plenty of choice, good service and great cocktails

The restaurant was lovely great food and service. We went for my birthday and they didn't disappoint

Yo estaba tan emocionada cuando mi novio me dijo que él había reservado una mesa aquí para mi cumpleaños. Fue mi primera vez tratando de tapas y te puedo decir que no me decepcionó en absoluto. La comida era absolutamente increíble y el personal era tan servicial, como no sabía lo que era. Me ayudaron a recoger sólo las cosas por primera vez. Sin duda volvería de nuevo.

Visitamos un sábado por la tarde con un pal para comer y no nos decepcionó. El personal era muy amable y la comida era fantástica. Fuimos por 6 tapas y me encantaron. El restaurante era tranquila para un sábado por la tarde, así que quizás le faltaba un poco de ambiente, sin embargo, esto no se me echó y sin duda volveré.

To start they had no chorizo left ( Spanish restaurant and no chorizo ) no Pinot Grigio , no Sauvignon Blanc , food was very poor, we constantly had to go up and ask for service, no one came near our table, and when I asked for desert - 30mins after finishing our mains ! We were told kitchen was closed! Wasn't even offered coffees!! Won't be back ..

Preciosa de principio a fin. El ambiente era muy relajado y el personal estupendo. Bueno era para morirse. Recomiendo encarecidamente

La comida, el vino y el personal eran excelentes. Tuvimos una gran noche con personal amable. Volvería de nuevo y lo recomiendo.

Realmente decepcionado. Cuando fuimos había otros 14 huéspedes y al principio estaban bien atendidos, pero las cosas fueron cuesta abajo rápidamente. Esperamos los eones para pedir más cursos y el tiempo de ordenar hasta conseguir la comida era vergonzoso. La comida estaba por debajo de la media de calidad. Cuando pedimos algo de pan para absorber el aceite del pil pil fue gambos costó como otro plato. La mayoría de los lugares dan una cesta de pan gratis. Esta fue la segunda vez de tratar y será la última. En Aberdeen, si quieres probar Tapas Cafe Andeluz recomiendo.

Presa ibérica sirve en La Tasca, ABZ. Felicitaciones al chef Jiri y gran servicio al Vlad. ### delicioso total #gracias #parapente muchas #comida

Excelente cocina española, principalmente la Paella y otros platos típicos. Es la mejor paella que puedes tener en Aberdeen. Bilingüe y excelente atención. Si te gusta bailar, también puedes ir allí!!!

Fuimos allí con unos colegas después del trabajo y no reservar una mesa muy, pero esperaba encontrar uno al final. Tuvimos que esperar, pero fue una gran oportunidad para disfrutar de una bebida en el bar. Y eso es cuando tuvimos que esperar 15 minutos para conseguir la atención de alguien como el barman estaba disfrutando algunos de fútbol de calidad en el portátil - cómo es que grosero!! De todas maneras, al menos las sangrías eran buenas, y procedimos a cenar. Pero de nuevo, ¿por qué tomamos tanto tiempo a la orden y te sirven? Como primera 20 minutos para realizar el pedido y otros 30 min para volver a nosotros? La comida estaba bien, pero el personal era muy decepcionante!

Been eating here for years & enjoyed every meal we've had & their new menu is just as good some lovely new dishes with some of the classsics remaining the Iberico Pork was delish as was the steak with blue cheese gratin & the gambas pil pil was great the king prawns were huge & juicy yum Well presented with just the right amount of seasoning! All severed to us by Vladimir great food great service & a nice relaxing atmosphere what else can I say we will see you again real soon!

We wanted a quick, tasty meal and La Tasca was perfect! We had a good selection of tapas dishes which were all delicious and finished off with the churros to share which were gorgeous! Great wine selection too and all the staff were friendly and helpful. All served really quick which was ideal as we didn't have a huge amount of time. Loved it - we'll be back!

In my view, there aren't a lot of great restaurants in Aberdeen but this is a fantastic place.Staff were very friendly and accommodating, nice selection of tapas which were all delicious. Great Ambiance.Good drinks, would like to see a bit more variation on the cocktail list but that is the only criticism!

Went for dinner with my Girlfriend. We were greeted in a very friendly fashion by the Manager, who showed us to your table. The service was exemplary, fast and friendly without ever rushing us. The food was all wonderful, i am big fan of tapas and the food here stands out as some of the best i have had. Well done to the chef Jiri. There was also a salsa dancing session going on while we ate out meal which looked great fun and gave the place a wonderful atmosphere. it was so good that long after we had finished our meal we stayed for drinks as it was just to comfortable to leave. Faultless from start to finish. 10/10 I plan on making this a regular fixture for date night and any other occasion i have.

We were a group of four and everybody ordered 3-4 Tapas. It was delicious! We shared our plates as there was enough for us all! The tapas plates are a bit bigger than a saucer but still smaller than a normal plate. So really enough! The service was nice and they were always up if we needed something. The music in the background was loud enough to build up the latin atmosphere, but still quiet enough to talk easily. We had Sangria, with and without alcohol. Both types where selfmade and really tasty! I really enjoyed my stay and recommend the La Tasca in Aberdeen!

La Tasca Aberdeen staged an acoustic set by Blair Davie of Paradise Found on Friday 8 April 2016. He entertained us with an array of contemporary covers ranging from Jolene to Paulo Nuttini's Pencil Full of Lead and Kodaline's All I Want. There was something for everyone. Coupled with this very enjoyable entertainment was tapas of a very high standard served by La Tasca's delightful staff. I have visited this establishment quite a few times now and it keeps getting better and better. Well done everyone!

Faultless as usual. Have eaten here several times and never been disappointed. I have no hesitation in recommending this restaurant.

We had a lovely family meal here. The staff were very friendly, food was tasty and price was good so we will definitely be back!

Well, most of the dishes (and we tried quite a few) were underseasoned. It was a pitty, everything just needed a bit more salt. We could put ourselves but it doesn't work like that. The service was great, though.

Not anything like a Spanish tapas, with very greasy fare. We sat in a virtually empty restaurant with no ambience to speak of.

Very friendly and helpful staff, explained the menu for us and also gave us a lot of suggestions on what to order! Loved everything about it!

Weekend away in Aberdeen we decided to visit La Tasca as we love tapas. Checked before booking that we could use our tastecard. On arrival was greeted by the manager (I think) who explained the specials for the day. He was friendly and welcoming and without me saying obviously remembered from my telephone call about me asking about tastecard and explained how it would work in his restaurant. Our server was a very pleasant young lady who was Czechoslovakian studying at the university. She was excellent. The food was very very good and we have eaten tapas on many occasions and the taste was as good as we have ever had. The portions were generous so much so we were not able for a dessert. Will definitely return if we are back in Aberdeen.

I visited La Tasca with my family before attending a concert at the Music Hall on 13th February 2016. We had to have a set menu for Valentine's at £25pp. The customer service was very poor, the food was mediocre and extremely poor quality (a dish of paella for 4 people contained only 4 small pieces of chicken).Service was slow to say the least and as our concert was about to begin at 1930hrs we had leave without dessert.On writing a letter of complaint, the manager (Samuel) called me and offered myself and my family 'the works' if we came in for another meal.We re visited the restaurant with high expectations on Sunday 27th Feb 2016. We showed staff the email from Samuel when we arrived.This meal was equally below par. There was no staff going about when it was time to leave, so we got up and left. We were later pursued down the street by a waiter shouting that we hadn't paid our bill! Never ever again!

Awful. Just awful!! We had such high hopes, but no. Very disappointing in every way. No, no. no. no. no!!!!!

I wish I could rate three and half stars as I don't believe La Tasca to be average but I also don't think it's very good. I went having seen an online promotion for 40% off with a loyalty card which I have however my server said this wasn't on even though the website said differently. I did get my usual 20% off though but I was still a little bit unhappy. All of the food was lovely however I was told there was no cheese which is surely a kitchen staple? Staff were generally nice but we waited 25 mins for our bill.

Pleasant staff, wonderful food and great value for money. Really enjoyed our meal

I can't say enough good things about our visit to La Tasca. I had arranged a salsa dance class with Daniel, followed by tapas for my sisters hen weekend. We were very well looked after by both the manager (who's name I now forget) and Daniel. Both allowed us to indulge in the usual silliness of a hen party and the dancing was fantastic..we even learnt a few new moves :-) Tapas was so yummy!! Arranged a set menu for £20pp and not only was it delicious, there was plenty to go around!! Sangria jugs were always drained and all my fellow hens thought it was a fab day out! Thank you so much :-)

La Tasca var absolutt en veldig bra restaurant. Spiste fire forskjellige tapaser - scampi, ansjos, kjøttboller og chorizo. Scampien ble anbefalt av servitøren og var den beste, men alt var veldig godt. Servitøren var også veldig oppmerksom og imøtekommende. Dette er en restaurant jeg mer enn gjerne vil tilbake til og prøve hva annet de har på menyen.

Five ladies for tapas! Portion sizes were generous, flavours were great and the wine was lovely. Great atmosphere and the service was reasonably quick for us.

We thoroughly enjoy La Tasca and this one did not disappoint. With it being the Saturday of Valentines weekend the service was a bit slower than expected but perhaps understandable in the circumstances.

This was my first visit to La Tasca, Aberdeen, and would recommend it to anyone who is a fan of tapas. From entering the restaurant, we were made to feel welcome with all the staff really friendly. The service was excellent and the food - fantastic!!!! Everything was delicious and we struggled to decide what was our favourite. Looking forward to my next visit.

Started off with messed up booking after phoning up to book the guy on the phone says ok for 19:30 and to confirm meals for when we went. Phoned the night before meal and a lass says no need to confirm and see you later. Got there waited 20 mins to get a seat whilst 4 groups walked past. Then another 40 mins for someone to come and serve us. Then one of them says you can have free bread and oils on the house which though fair enough. But they didnt get to us until 20 mins later. Then the food came. Great food but took a while, wrong paella came out. Nearly ended up walking out but we can sympathasise when its busy however no communication from the servers. 4 different servers we had. Normally its one.At the end they knocked off £12 to say sorry about the experience which we thought fair enough. Needs improvement for when its busy. Not sure if we'll come back though.

We had a lovely valentines meal from the set menu which was very good value, a couple of small issues but it was understandable as it was very busy but they were dealt with promptly and it was no problem to the efficient and friendly waiting staff. I would recommend la rascal for a relaxing meal for every occasion.

After a really good experience at La Tasca Edinburgh, we booked a table at La Tasca, Aberdeen for a half term holiday treat. I must say, the experience at this particular resto was dispiriting. On arrival, we were given the Valentine's Day menu only - we had to ask for the regular menu ( this always seems like a con!). The restaurant was cold and the music, at 1pm, was very, very loud. We ordered our tapas, and waited, and waited for our food. There were only five tables of diners, so the 40 minutes wait seemed inexplicable. When the food arrived, it was lukewarm, and the sauce tasted much the same in each dish - blandish tomato. The patatas bravas was mushy and tasteless and it seemed as if it had been cooked in the microwave. There was no salt and pepper at the table, and the food was underseasoned. The service was somewhat 'switched off' too, and given that this was Valentine's day I feel it was pretty poor experience overall. The waitress was decent enough to refund us for one of the dishes as compensation for the food being cold, and I appreciate her doing so. Whoever is in the kitchen, though, is not doing La Tasca' image any good. I would not go back, and that is a shame.

Booked this last minute and so glad we did. Great table and fantastic service. We ordered 6 main tapas dishes, 4 beers and coffees and total was £60. Great atmosphere and would be happy to revisit this place again.

tasty tapas, lovely wine, decadent desserts,service that was attentive but not overpowering.. and chilled fiesta atmosphere - why haven't we come here more often? We will be back, thank you!Great choice, well explained, succulent flavours made for sharing ... time to savour with no hassle to eat up/ move on... a lovely evening

Excellent food although some dishes were unavailable. A bit disconcerting to arrive at the restaurant to find not a soul present and we waited a good 5/6 minutes before anyone appeared - and we had booked a table. Atmosphere improved as more people arrived but general service was so laid back it was slow. Food good, nice small dishes so good for sharing. We had a 30% off all food discount card but while we were given some discount it was not 30%. Only noticed this after leaving.

a group of approx 12 of us go each year for a long lunch. There is no rush to get us out and we normally stay for about 4 hours!!! Music isn't too loud so we can catch up easily but there is still good atmosphere, excellent food as always and staff are friendly and attentive and don't hassle you with constantly asking if you want anything else. Wouldn't dream of going anywhere else that dictates when you need to leave!

The food was delicious and much improved since our last visit but advert stated that we would get fifty percent discount with our loyalty card but only got twenty percent so felt rather let down .

We visited on a Saturday night, which was quite busy. We booked late, but got a table. Restaurant was buzzy, but service wasn't great. It took ages to get served once we had sat down. Food was ok and was what we expected, but pricey for portion size. Be careful about ordering the pitcher of San Miguel (2 pints) - we just got a pint and a half out of it. We did ask for the glass to be topped up to make the 2 pints and this was done without any complaints, so I guess this wasn't the first time this had happened.Overall - it was ok but not sure I would rush back.

Food was amazing and the entertainment/dance class was awesome! But massively let down by the inattentive service we received. A shame really because otherwise I would return in a flash!

Ένα από τα δύο ισπανικά εστιατόρια της πόλης. Μέτριο προς καλό το φαγητό. Μεγάλη ποικιλία σε ισπανικά πιάτα. Το μαγαζί δεν είναι αρκετά καθαρό. Πήραμε την παέγια θαλασσινών και δυστυχώς μύριζε παράξενα, ίσως λόγω των γαρίδων. Το πιάτο Huevos Cabreaos μας άρεσε πολύ

La Tasca used to be one of our favourite restaurants in Aberdeen, however after couple of very disappointing visits we decided to stop trying and we have not been in for more than a year. However our last three visits (In two weeks! yes that how good it was!) were just spectacular! we were always served by Vlada and we've learned that the new chef is called Jiri I believe. Well the food has never been better! we enjoyed every single meal from tapas to paellas, all were just spot on! very tasty and fresh! staff were very friendly, chatty,funny, attentive and polite. La tasca is back on the top our list of best restaurants in Aberdeen and I already cannot wait to have another Paella de Mariscos with lovely Sangria.

We were lucky to find this place on new years day as so much was closed and were impressed with the experience. Staff were efficient and courteous and the food options wide ranging and good value for money. As my partner is vegetarian, the menu worked out well for her. The decor is attractive and we would love to see the space in full swing perhaps with a live band some day.

Staff were really lovely and attentive, 5 stars too them! Food unfortunately was very rich very oily well for me anyway! Didn't wow me at all all it did was give me indigestion, sorry guys!

Have previously visited for lunch on several occasions and have been trying to get to a salsa party night. We managed to get a good hotel deal and took in a Saturday night. From the beginning we were warmly greeted by Samuel and had a drink at the bar before moving to our table. We made our selection of tapas with help from Inge, had a few more drinks before the salsa and music started at about 9.30.Although we didn't take part in the dancing,the atmosphere was great.It was evident that a lot of couples came in later just to have drink and a dance.All in all we had a thoroughly enjoyable night.Great food, great service,great value.We hope to repeat it in the near future.

very nice to go out with your friends on friday . Food is delicious, and try the sangria, fantastic!

After booking a table online at La Tasca we arrived 5 minutes early, which seemed to fluster the waitress, who told us to give her 5 minutes to prepare our table. There was comfy seating by the window she could have showed us to, but she left us to hover. <br />Finally we were led to our table, past the quiet front of the restaurant, past the middle section, and all the way to the very back of the restaurant, where we could see into the kitchen and all the uglier goings-on of a part of the restaurant that isn&#039;t very well used. It was poorly lit and for some reason the waitress had seated us right next to a table of about 12 rowdy guys having their Christmas party. <br />We weren&#039;t ready to order drinks yet so the waitress said she&#039;d come back - about 10 minutes later we were still waiting for her return and the table of guys was getting even rowdier (which I don&#039;t have a problem with - but why seat a quiet couple next to a Christmas party when virtually every other table in the place is free?)<br /><br />We were just mustering up to ask if we could move seats when a different waiter came to ask us what we would like to eat. We told him he hadn&#039;t had our drinks yet and without saying a word he walked off to the bar to to retrieve said drinks, without giving us a chance to actually order them. After a couple of minutes of no-show, we looked round to see him talking to two other waitresses and pointing to our table looking confused. <br /><br />Not one of them came to ask us for drinks and the original waiter walked straight past us and into the kitchen. At that point we decided to get up and leave - and on the way out the waitress who had seated us gave a smile and said &#039;ciao, bye!&#039; - not even realising that we had left without even eating. We hovered outside for a second to see if anyone would notice we had left and it&#039;s like we were never even there - the waitress led another couple to the table we had just been sitting at. None of the staff have a clue in this place. Terrible service.

Me and my wife we went in there in few occasions and always liked .I can't say the food was the best as I been in better Spanish places but it's the atmosphere that counts here and it's really nice place to came with your partner.

We had the set menu for our team meal. Lots of different small plates of food, kept arriving. The food was nice and there was plenty of it. We had one vegetarian and she could order from the main menu. So everyone was happy.Nice atmosphere not to load, good place for a nice meal right on union street.

We all enjoyed our night at La Tasca. The food that we got was excellent and there was plenty for everyone to enjoy. I realise that the restaurant was packed but the service wasn't really on the ball. We didn't get bread and oils with our starter and we didn't get a choice of desserts they just brought the chocolate. Then our bill was really wrong - there was extra drinks and no discount for the pre-ordered drinks. I think that they sorted but took a while and was a bit irritating at the end of the night. All in all a great atmosphere and great food but must do better with service.

The setting here is very good and the salsa music and class makes for a lively setting.The food was generally good although a little plain with some of the dishes. Service dropped off towards the end.

Booked La Tasca for cocktail making and dinner for a friends birthday. The overall experience was great. Samuel greeted us on arrival and was our host for cocktail making. He then served our meal and was around for all our extra requests and drinks orders. I have been to coccktail making classes in other places but this was by far the best experience. Some of us went back later in the evening for the salsa dancing. Fantastic night, great staff, lovely food.

We had s great night at La Tasca Anerdeen. Great atmosphere, good food, lovely staff but did not see any sign of the £2.50 tapas Tuesday that was advertised on the outside window. So check the price if you go on s Tuesday night. They do dance lessons which seemed to be very popular and great to watch.

Really good good, at about 10pm salsa dancing started which brought to the atmosphere. Sat aand had a few cocktails as we watched.

Fantastic night of Cocktail making...followed by some amazing food and salsa dancing. The staff here are amazing, attentive, nothing is too much trouble and up for a good laugh. Would recommend this beautiful welcoming place to anyone. We will be back :)

Lovely good food, good portions,staff were very friendly and meal was reasonably priced. Would definitely go back again

Having been to La Tasca a few times before during visits to Aberdeen, I had spoken highly of it and promised to take my parents there-they were not disappointed!The staff were very friendly upon arrival and explained the menu very well. One of the specials was sea bass, which went down a treat with my parents, as did all of the dishes we had and the wine (reasonably priced for Aberdeen). Some of the other dishes we had were; calamari, patatas bravas, patagonian prawns, Croquetas de Pollo (chicken croquettes), and of course chorizo-all of them delicious. At the end of the meal all that was left were empty plates and big smiles. They recommend 3 tapas per person and if you include dessert / cheese then this is about right. By the way the cheese board to share is fantastic-4 delicious cheeses, lots of it and at the price, a cheese board to embarass almost every other dining place in Aberdeen! All in all there really is something for everyone-the youngest in our group was 12, the oldest 83. We will definitely be back.

Staff were friendly, accommodating, entertaining and the meal was spot on. We shared a paella chicken and chorizo between four. Drinks tasty and excellent prepared and served. Fun and five stars!

Lovely little restaurant which is very authentic. Food was superb, the croquettes with spinach and goats cheese were awesome.Only teeny downside was the batter for the calamari wasn't crispy, but it tasted so good I didn't care!

Going to La Tasca has become a birthday tradition for my friends and I and on this occasion the team surpassed themselves. There was a great atmosphere and they provided us with a group menu and plenty of drinks. Thank you for a fantastic evening and for agreeing to bring a cake in and sing happy birthday! We eill deginately be back.

During recent visit to Aberdeen visited this restaurant, served by a Spanish waiter which was lovely and added to the authenticity, service was very good.We tried several Tapas and they were all lovely, with the exception of the mixed seafood dish, unfortunately the seafood was so rubbery was we were unable to eat it, having said that the rest were lovely and the wine was also very good.We would return when next in Aberdeen.

Had a nice lunch out with friends, comfortable setting perfect for a rainy day. Service was very good also.

Was looking for quick service in hospitable surrounding with pleasant food. Got exactly what I wanted. Thank you.

Visited for lunch and spent a relaxing few hours in La Tasca Aberdeen. Sam, Vlad and the team always make us feel welcome and look after us very well. There is always a good atmosphere whether the restaurant is busy or quiet. And the food is good! We'll be back.

The service was excellent, the food was great. Cocktails amazing could not fault the place. Intend going back soon and would highly recommend to all.

Amazing place! Good food, excellent service from well knowledgeable staff! The place wasn't crazy busy but enough to create a great atmosphere. Goats cheese and spinach croquettes together with king prawns on garlic and chilli sizzle were our favourites. Sams caipirinha also went down as a treat! For a night out or catching up with friends... This is the place to be.

Having frequented "la Barca" in Helensburgh .... winners for the last 3 years of the Scottish Mediterranean Restaurant of the Year - then we were interested, whilst in Aberdeen, to visit La tasca... and met by Vladimir Madle (Deputy Manager) and a host of attentive and informative staff. set out on our journey of food drink and experience. Se told all the staff about our experience at La Barca... and they set out to prove their worth. !! Boy did they do it. Manchengo and sun dried tomatoes starter.. chorizo y morcilla (Spanish black pudding) .. langoustine, prawns, potatoes with spinach ..croquettes... all highly rated! .... we requested a cheese board and - wow .. loved it - washed down with an amazing jerez pedro jiminez (probably the nicest ever) - senor maxie was given a complimentary medium jerez to try... two bottles of Campo Rioja and a nice touch (savoury biscuit) with cheese which I shall follow upon. all in all ... fantastic food and service and perfect atmosphere for a romantic weekend for maxie and I.. La Barca (Helensburgh) you have a serious challenger on your hands - and we will definely recommend and return - hasta la vista y marelloso mis amigos xxxx

I visited La Tasca with 15 friends to celebrate my birthday. We had a drink or two in the bar before taking the salsa class and sitting down for dinner afterwards. It was an absolutely brilliant evening. The staff were extremely organised, helpful and friendly and really made the occasion special, even throwing in some free cava for us all! We all really enjoyed the salsa class and the food was excellent and good value. There was also lots of it! Thank you for a brilliant evening La Tasca, Aberdeen. I'll certainly be back!

We had a itison voucher for 6 tapas dishes to use for our dinner at La Tasca, Neither my wife or I have previously eaten at La Tasca so didn&#039;t really know what to expect, there was a varied menu with a selection of vegetarian options that suited my wife as well as a large option of meat dishes for me. Although there does not look to be a lot of food when it comes in the tapas dishes, as you eat your way through your food you soon realise there is more than you think. I would have liked the food to be hotter but maybe this is Tapas.

I had attended a birthday meal and arrived on time, food was served, service was mediocre. The problem arised when the bill arrived. Each member had paid a good £20 for some food, slightly pricey I think. We got called back just as leaving to be told we still had a £135 left to pay, how had this come about. WELL, bad management, bad service and poor staffing. The reciepts did not show all the payments made and they would not listen or be accommodating. I had spent £80 alone at the bar and had given good service. Ruined the entire evening and consdering it was a birthday meal, really not happy. WILL never go again and telling everyone how bad it is...because it sucked.

Visited today (13/10/15).Warmly welcomed as always by Samuel.Made our selection of tapas which included two of the daily specials, 7 in total. All were absolutely delicious.Would recommend the Montaditos de cerdo and the costillas de cerdo, but if the truth be told we have tried a large variety of tapas on the menu and have never found cause to complain.Finished off with trenza with salted caramel ice cream,(amazing) and double espressos and sambucas. Great food,great atmosphere,great service.What more can I say.

We were greeted promptly and warmly by the host and waitresses and taken to our seat. The selection of tapas was amazing and mixed various regional dishes from Spain. All of the food was fantastic and there was a live salsa band/dance. We waited quite a long time for the food, but they were busy and the multiple tapas dishes would have been timely to prepare. We had plenty of wine to keep us replenished though ;)

Unfortuately the food was luke warm when it arrived and also the quality has gone downhill.It has been sometime since we last visited, but the quality of the food was definately a lot better on our previous visit.

Awful service. Booked a table for 2 for 7.30pm on Saturday 26th. We got there to be told by a waiter that he couldn't see our booking though the lady front-of-house said we did have a booking. No idea which one of them was correct. Ordered 2 drinks when we arrived and were shown to the table opposite the lavatories at 10 to 8, asked to be moved as a number of tables around us were free. They moved us which was fine. Drinks still hadn't been seen. The lady manageress said she would get them immediately and that was the last she came near us. We were told we would get our food within 25 minutes of ordering as they were busy. We ordered tapas (3 of the original 7 tapas items we asked for were off the menu). Forty minutes after that we were told that the kitchen hadn't started preparing our food yet and they couldn't say when the food would be served. In the meantime our drinks came (half an hour after we ordered them) but we were told that we couldn't have more than 1 Margharita as they had run out of limes. We suggested that the Co-op in Union Street had limes in abundance, but they said they were all too busy to go. Seemed odd as around a quarter of the tables around us were empty. Having been in the restaurant for an hour and ten minutes with no sign of our tapas coming (and having been told they didn't know when they would arrive) we left. Think the manageress in charge front-of-house was out of her depth - if you say you are going to do something, then do it. The 1 Margharita we did see was very nice, but we won't be back.

much better service than when we visited last month staff this time wre attentive, polite and did not just ignore us as happened on our last visit

We booked a table at La Tasca for 7 arriving at 6.50. We were advised that the table would be ready shortly and to take a seat and get a drink at the bar. I stood for 10 minutes waiting and finally gave up waiting for a drink. I had been given a nod from the bar manager but he seemed more interested in chucking bottles about than actually serving. It wasn't as if it was busy, it was a tuesday nght for crying out loud. We sat down at 7.10 and the waitress asked if we were ready to order at about 7.20, we ordered paella and two tapas dishes with a bottle of wine then sat and waited, talked and watched the salsa class that was going on. We finally got our food at 8.15 which was hurriedly plonked on the table. We were never asked whether the food was OK and couldn't catch anyones attention to let them know that they had forgotten our bread. The paella was hot but very dry and overdone and the tapas dishes were cold (the chicken was very poor and tasted awful).When we finally ended the ordeal and advised the waitress that she had forgotten to bring our bread and oils from he deal we had she gave us 20% off the bill for the extras we had ordered. This didn't even cover the cost of the bread and oils. Very poor service, food was

The Spanish ambiance of the restaurant is unique for Aberdeen and leaves you with a feeling that you have really "gotten away"....even though it was for just one evening. The dance classes available for anyone is another great extra that we took advantage of, even though we do little dancing and had never danced "Salsa". We will be back for both the food, the environment and another lesson!

Had a lovely meal, waited for ages to be offered a sweet so ended up not having one.Also was double charged with my bank card - waiting for this to be resolved.Bit disappointed in this since not local and last time we tried to visit the restaurant was closed due to a kitchen fire

Table for 5 booked for 7.30. Arrived and asked to wait in bar area until they "got the table ready". After 5 mins seated at large table in bar area. Asked if they could shut the double door open to street due to draft (all sitting with coats still on). Shut one door, left other open, so still had draft. Asked if they could shut the other door. Told that would mean the people in the restaurant area would be too hot! Asked if the could get extra heating c. our table. Decided then to shut other door. Order taken, food arrived - ok, but nothing special. Decided to have sweet and coffee. Ordered sharing plate (8 different things). Came with 5 things, asked and was told they had run out and given us extra cheesecake as a result - no apology! Asked for bill. Came and put card and £15 tip on plate to pay. No one came. Eventually paid at bar, leaving no tip!

We love tapas and la tasca is always a reliable option for a meal out. The food is always good and there is a good selection to choose from. However portion sizes have shrunk over the years!

Lured in by itison voucher we shared six tapas - very tasty and good value. Music a little loud and mushrooms saltier than I would have preferred but overall certainly intend coming again.

Really fabulous food ! We had 6 tapas dishes and every one was delicious . Thought the jug of Sangria was a little expensive at £16.99 !!

Food okay, but service utterly dreadful. No welcome, left waiting for ages for a table, left waiting ages for my drink to arrive. Need to get their act sorted out

Overall my partner and I really enjoyed our experience at la tasca. The staff were extremely friendly and accommodating. We received lots of beautifully cooked food and the atmosphere was perfect. There was, however, one factor that both my partner and I felt could be improved... Our food was completely over seasoned with salt. Apart from the over seasoning with salt, the food was all beautifully cooked and there were some fantastic flavours but unfortunately the amount of salt, particularly on the 'festival of mushrooms' dish and the lashings of sea salt on the beer battered fish meant that we did not enjoy our food as much as we would have. I hope La Tasca Union St take this comment on board as we hope to visit the restaurant again in the near future.

We visited one Saturday afternoon and I thought it was very mediocre. If you're a meat eater, it's pretty good but if you're veggie or vegan, be warned you will leave hungry. The vegan tapas were out of stock but chef kindly made a dish for me but it was just one dish which was beetroot based. I asked for an aubergine item with no cheese and was told the cheese was already on. Thankfully the bread, olives, almonds and peppers were good or I would have left with barely anything to eat. Service also appallingly slow and we had to wait ages for drinks and after waiting about 30 mins after we had finished, plates still on the table, we had to just go to the bar and pay.Interestingly, called Cafe Andaluz (new Spanish restaurant) and they advised 6 dishes I could have, four of which have minor modifications, which shows their commitment to fresh products and those with dietary requirements).

My wife and I really enjoyed our lunch, such great hot food and service. One not to be missed !Fantastic.

Took a visit to La Tasca on Saturday for a Paella and on Sunday for Tapas and loved every mouthful and minute of it. Great atmosphere and excellent food.Helpful staff sorted out a wee issue,We'll be back....

Would definitely recommend this place. Went with a friend for an impromptu dinner. It was brilliant. Lovely staff, very friendly and on the ball. Food was delicious and arrived fast. Definitely going back!

Staff very friendly, menu choice great- something for everyone! The tapas selection my MIL and I had were excellent. The cocktails are lovely too.

We had lunch on Saturday and guys we could not fault it. Food was great, staff were great and wine great. Looking forward to coming back.

treated to lunch here by my son &amp; daughter in law for my birthday, very friendly welcome, no problem changing to a different table to the one reserved, in fact nothing was too much trouble for the staff,the tapas we shared were perfect, great choice of dishes, in fact we were spoilt for choice!, thoroughly enjoyed the experience &amp; would definitely recommend it &amp; most certainly will go back,

Very let down after we looked forward to this mealThe food took about 5 minutes to arrive and when it did it was nothing to shout about. The prawns were cooked to death and dry. The mushrooms were seasoned with copious amounts of salt and it is my first experience of crispy mussles. I will not be going back during this lifetime.

We had 17 different tapas. All were mouth wateringly good. Had a vegetarian and a chicken paella which were also good. The deserts were to die for. Loved the two of the chocolate ones. Service was great. Very friendly and attentive staff.

We had a lovely afternoon hereFood was excellent Service was excellent the waiter was spot on. Definitely would return again

Stopped in for lunch midweek, great food and truly exceptional service. A great way to recharge the batteries. The staff here are super friendly and very attentive. 5 out of 5!

booked table with the its on voucher ordered 7 dishes and the food was excellent nice n quick and piping hot we will be back

We have been to La Tasca many times and the food was excellent as usual, our visit was spoiled though by inattentive staff , we were still eating our starters when our main tapas arrived, then after we had enjoyed our tapas the server asked if we would like the sweet menu we said yes and we also asked for more water , it took more than 20 minutes before we got our water and menus by although the restaurant was by no means busy but the servers were mostly standing around idly chatting , we had changed our minds about sweet by this time and we asked for our bill instead.

This was a first visit to the restaurant. We were met by the friendly staff and settled down to have a pre meal drink. The atmosphere was very relaxed and had a friendly Spanish bar feel. The waiter explained the menu and recommended some dishes. The tapas selection was great as was the jug of sangria. I would highly recommend this restaurant if you want a chilled out meal
