Tapas and paella - just made for sharing!
Spanish food thrives on the freshest, quality ingredients and the cultural identity of 17 contrasting regions.
Our menus are just bursting with Spanish flavours. Authentic paellas, cooked in a traditional style in a classic paella pan, are a great way to enjoy the taste of Spain! Fragrant ‘jamón serrano’ (cured dry ham) from the cool Spanish mountains and rich and creamy ‘Manchego’ cheese from La Mancha (land of the windmills) are just some of many highlights waiting for you.
Following the government's decision to reinstate the 17.5% VAT rate from 1 January 2010, La Tasca will adjust its menu prices accordingly when customers are paying their bill. La Tasca is pleased to announce, however, that it will not pass the VAT increase on to its promotional menus including '2 for £10' lunch menu, 2 dine with wine for £15, 'Tapas for a Tenner', 'Menú Español' which remains at £15.95, 'Menú Fiesta' which will continue to be £19.95 or 'Menú Excelente' which will remains at £24.95.
