Last night we went to La Tasca for dinner as it's my brother's birthday today. We didn't get there till nearly 8 as it was super last minute & I had to wait for me to get ready as I went the gym straight from work. The shortest gym session ever was only there for 30 minutes then had to rush home to wash my hair & shower. Got to the restaurant & realised I hadn't even washed the conditioner out my hair properly.
La Tasca was dead only 3 other tables when we got there.
We got the large calamares, slow cooked pork cheeks, boquerones (white anchovies marinated in olive oil), paella Valencia La Tasca (chicken breast, mussels, king prawn & squid) & fritas.
By the time we got our food it was 9. Wasn't even hungry by this time, more like bed time for me.
The portions were tiny - I know it's meant to be tapas but the large calamares? How small must the small be?? They didn't even look like squid rings they looked like tiny onion rings, the chips looked awful & the anchovies?? Just looked like they've opened a tin & put them on a plate!
The paella was actually alright - nothing on the one I had in Spain though.
Students get 25% off with Unidays from Sunday - Friday so it wasn't too bad but I probably wouldn't be going again & wouldn't recommend the food we ordered apart from the paella!
