My semester-in-Spain daughter wanted to take the 'rents from the burbs to an authentic tapas place, so we tried Tasca on Comm. Ave. On a Friday night, this place was packed; the upper level has a few tables, a bar and a hostess stand; the main dining room is much larger and on a lower level. It was pretty hectic;... More

My wife and some good friends were in Boston for a fun Saturday.We were looking for an early dinner before heading home and found our way to Tasca after seeing an interesting Zagat listing and checking out the menu online. We liked the place immediately on entering. There is a comfortable dining room in a pleasant traditional Spanish that is... More

Went here for my best friend's birthday. Food was good, and came fairly quick. Our table of 9 all ordered tapas. I shared the calamari and cod fritters with my boyfriend, but got full quickly so I didn't get to try anything else. Restaurant is a bit crowded. only enough room for walking in one direction. Our server was nice.

Yummy Sangria, Yummy Tapas, Yummy Service. They should change their name to "Yummy" hehe! Flamenco adds for an entertaining evening if you're feeling bored of the ordinary "get up, go to work, come home, eat food, go to sleep" type of life. Once a month you can "get up, go to work, come home, eat fo- WAIT THERE'S FLAMENCO" Nice.

Best thing on a weekend is to have reservations, as this place fills up fast. We had a group of six and it was quite tight seating, but the food was worth it. If you go, you have to have the Sangria by the pitcher, it was delicious!! We had 2 pitchers for 6 people which was perfect. The Tapas... More

Went on a Friday date night with my wife when staying in Boston for fun. Great food- had croquetas y pollo, potatas y aioli, Parma jamon, short ribs and potatoes, goat cheese empenadas, escargot, and sangria. Plus we shared dessert. The bill? $69. Amazing. Livia was our waitress and was great- kept the tapas coming and good suggestions. Highly recommend.

I had passed this restaurant hundreds of times before I finally went in and was surprisingly wowed by the food. This is a Spanish style Tapas restaurant and it is truly marvelous. The inside of the restaurant is beautifully decorated to take you back to the plains of Spain.

Have been to Tasca a few times. Went with friends, all of us mature women. We were treated like royalty each time, possibly because this restaurant is located in a student area. At any rate, the service was fantastic and the tapas were all fresh and tasty.
