Xy XXMarch 11, 2015Sangria is amazing. Happy hour starts at 4- come early, seats fill up fast! It can be busy. Pitchers of sangria are cheap and strong and delicious! I got the sparkling cava. Amazing
MellissaMarch 26, 2013We didn't enjoy the seafood paella as much as we thought. We able to order a Spanish omelet off the menu, which is very nice. The La Tasca sangria with cinnamon and apples was delicious!
Zach NellFebruary 5, 2013If you have a chance to go there for restaurant week, Feb 4-10, I highly recommend this place. This is easily a top ten for me on best food overall. I fell in love with the Datiles dish. Fav eat in DC
nanako CandykoFebruary 6, 2014So packed in happy hour time, if u design to come for happy hour and it must be at the bar, u should come earlier because the bar is always packed. Drinks is good and enough strong.
Happy hour at the bar has amazing tapas and sangria. Highly recommend the patatas bravas, fried cheese, chicken skewers, and the bacon wrapped dates.
Yulia AMay 8, 2013Delicious!!!! Try Ensalada de Tomates and Salmon a la Plancha. Their lunch special: 2 tapas for $13 and 3 tapas for $19, unlimited tapas for $25.
Kirk GrayMarch 10, 2013Great food! And if you know me and my restrictive palette then you know that I could find stuff to eat! Was a great meal, with a great group of people!
myLoyalFamilyJuly 2, 2012Join La Tasca of Chinatown & myLoyalFamily to get a complimentary bottle of champagne, Virginia vineyard get-away, trip to Spain and more- just for visiting as usual! Be Treated Like Loyalty.- Alaa ShakerAugust 27, 2014I liked the seafood paella, the tapas were good too. It's a bit pricey so that's why everyone obviously just sticks with deals and happy hours.
Sebastián RománJuly 10, 2015good ambience. draft stella beer not as expencive as in New York. Good Calamares a la Andaluza.
Patrick McDermottJuly 3, 2012The selection of Sangrias they have at the bar is quite something. Some are better than others though, like the Raspberry Limonada! Their chicken croquettes are also good… (3 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more
Dizzie TotJanuary 6, 2014you get salsa and bachata lessons 10pm onwards and have two dancefloors to choose from. cover is $10 and we did it on weekends idk bout weekdays :)
Yilen RodriguezFebruary 19, 2012everything is delicious here! from the drinks to the food, to the vibe! Great spot to start off a girls night with a few drinks, some tapas
Tom MaxwellMarch 25, 2018Pollo en pepeteria was very good! Same with the chorizo sausage. A bit pricey for how little you get, though.
Jim AndersonJuly 18, 2015Try the Black And Blue Martini - Belvedere Black Vodka with Blue Cheese stuffed olives...and a side of Jamon Iberico (via @Foodspotting)
Sophia HMarch 11, 2017mango blackberry sangria is the best! very unique and strong blackberry taste with subtle mango-smooth mouthfeel
Ashley ShumwayNovember 17, 2013David is an amazing waiter and all of his recommendations are delicious. I want to go back just for the empenadas. #mco435
Ray HartjenJune 18, 2016Lunch special offers two tapas for $14, and the plates are big. Try the paella and shrimp skewers.
Kelly NelsonJuly 30, 2011Eggplant was fantastic (try sauce on everything!) Potatoes, also fantastic! Asparagus was so so & tomato salad would be better with only red tomatoes. Bread was ok. Sauteed spinach was very good.
Not the best tapas in DC but the HH is totally worth it. Unfortunately, the only place you can get HH deals are at the bar. There is a 2nd bar (downstairs) but it's only open on certain days.
Laura WongAugust 20, 2014Great menu, lots of choices for suite any appetite. Good place to meet friends and share plates
Sheila LampitocOctober 10, 2014Went for HH before an event at Verizon. A good selection of drinks, tasty food, and they have free pallea on Fridays.
Miss GraceJanuary 1, 2014Happy hour tapas and drinks are the business!! The fried egg plant is a must! You're welcome!
HH here is amazing, but get here early!! The bar area gets super packed so you might end up downstairs, which isn't as fun
Ashley ThorntonFebruary 11, 2014Everything is delicious... seriously. Get the shrimp and scallop skewers and the brussels!
Trishal KhetiaOctober 6, 2012Loved it. Had a live band playing some upbeat Spanish music and the entire crowd was into it.
The Cava Sangria is out of this world! Catch the happy hour (only at the bar on the first floor).
Madame MeowDecember 26, 2012The current lunch deal is really good. Also, they were open Christmas Day, which was a happy convenience.
Thaís SoaresFebruary 14, 2019Pricey, but still a good option if you're craving seafood paella in DC.
Everton BatistaAugust 14, 2013The sangrias are the best. Tinta has tons of fruit. Pitchers are the best value
Chris LinnNovember 13, 2013Don't go for happy hour unless you enjoy waiting for one or two bartenders to take care of table orders, glassware, and (if you're lucky) eventually you.
Excellent! Great wine! Perfect amount of food. Pricey but worth it!
Felicia RamosNovember 27, 2013Try the churros con chocolate :) and ask for a scoop of vanilla icecream
Really good happy hour but so frustrating that it's only at the bar...which is tiny. So get there early or no chance.
Sandra RubinchikSeptember 28, 2014Add a booster shot to your sangria. All the cool kids are doing it.
Nicole GoetzMarch 5, 2011Tried a bunch of dif tapas, my favorite was the dessert flan. Calamari was ok, not the best. Salmon and meatball dishes were good. Veggie Paella was very bland. All in all, good place to go for lunch.
Neil DarmaninMay 28, 2011Sangria = delicious. The paella was great as was the solomillo de credo (bacon wrapped pork)
Adam KampJune 17, 2013Make sure you order from the bar at happy hour cause finding a server in the bar is a lost cause...
David AllSeptember 26, 2010If you prefer dry, tasty sangria, give the Cadillac White Sangria a go. But, remember, when in España, ordering/drinking sangria is frowned upon.
