Reviews for La Tasca Tapas Restaurant in Arlington Heights, IL
Service was great, music...nightclub? and food, very good. The smaller tapas we tried were delicious - the bacon wrapped dates,... stuffed mushrooms, and empanadas. The seafood paella was decent, but really wished the rice was a bit crisped at the bottom ofthe pan. I would definitely recommend this upscale tapas though for trying out a variety of smaller dishes.

The food was mediocre. The rapas specials, sea bass and calamari steak, were pretty good. Everything else was nicely described... on the menu but just didn't taste like anything special. The vibe in the restaurant was casual but not too vibrant, like atother Spanish restaurants that we went to in the past. This wine was actually very good (see attached) Read more
First time I had Spanish cuisine - Tapas (small Spanish dishes) All dishes are small and shareable. We ordered too many I think,... but we finished all of them since everything is so tasty. I was never fan of dates but bacon wrapped dates in sauce are superdelicious. Potatoes with cayenne sauce are must have with other dishes, it just goes perfectly. Dishes don't come together tothe table, it comes as soon as it ready, which I don't usually like but I was patient enough to wait for all of it to come.Probably the best dish is the Goat cheese in tomato sauce, so thick, rich and complex, goes great with toasted bread. Octopus isalso very fresh and spiced well. Only dish we didn't like was the fried eggplant, it was very sweet from honey, so we didn'tfinish that one. Beef tenderloin was tender and fries were like chips from Europe.. Very interesting place and great menu! Onlydisappointment was cheesecake, it's not even close to any other cheesecake I tried, it could be different style, but it justwasn't prepared good. Service is friendly and easy going. Huge recommendation for this restaurant! Read more
Right next to the tracks, this beautifully decorated Tapas restaurant offers a variety of fresh seafood options on small... shareable plates. The main event was the seafood paella, which typically takes 30-40 minutes to prepare. When it came out, ourserver carefully divided it into potions for all members of our party. Everything was absolutely delicious and fresh tasting. Definitely will be back next time I’m in town. Read more

Overall food are very delicious. Especially the calamari, so tender and tasty. Seafood patella has various big mount seafood in... it. The portion for two is quite big and enough for sharing with 4 peoples. But the taste can be better. Read more
An upscale Spanish place in downtown Arlington Heights. Delicious food with a very wide spread of options for vegetarians. We... tried a few hot tapas and then feasted on the veggie Paella which was fantastic. Definitely big on the proportions for a partyof two but it was absolutely worth the wait. Would definitely come back again and recommend this place to anyone looking to tryout Spanish cuisine. Read more
