Caracas Grill La Taberna Leeds 16 York Place, Leeds LS1 2EU

"Iron steak is beautiful and brilliant that you have to try. If you expect crispy bread with tomato on top then you have to lower your expectations here. The bread is truly in British. The garlic prawn is okay, normal range. The glass of red wine is good."

"Booked here based on reviews, was stopping at The Chambers just round the corner so was within perfect walking distance. Quite possibly the best dining/tapas experience we've ever had, the service was quick and pleasant, the food was absolutely amazing, the Chicken roll being the main stand out from the 6 dishes we ordered. Lovely atmosphere as the tables aren't too crammed in like others and just overall a brilliant experience! Highly recommended."

"We’ve tried a few tapas places in Leeds and La Taberna is by far the best! Lovely cost interior, very intimate with good lighting and good music at just the right level. Service was excellent, staff were lovely and the food was outstanding. We stayed for a while after finishing our food to finish our wine and it was just a great atmosphere, we didn’t feel rushed to leave at all. Food came out at a good pace. Great veggie options too!"

"Starting off with the restaurant vibe, which is great as it’s dimly lit with each table separated at a good distance so no one can hear you or you hear theirs. However, when it’s busy, it can get a bit loud, especially when everyone’s had one too many sangria. The services and friendliness from the waiters were amazing, nothing else to add. Now about the food. Generally, the food was amazing and perfectly seasoned, but if I am to be critical, I’d say the lamb was a bit under seasoned as it was a bit bland. Personally, I wasn’t a fan of the flavour profile of the octopus, it was overly seasoned with chorizo flavour or smoked paprika, but if that’s what you like then it’d be suited for you. I highly recommend you get the aubergine fritta and steak, both absolutely delicious. The pricing is on the more expensive side, but the flavouring and quality justify it. If you’re a big eater like me, then expect a hefty bill because you’ll eat a lot! Overall, I highly recommend here."

"I would definitely say this basement Tapas restaurant has a good atmosphere, less commercial than some, albeit in a good, maybe even authentic way. The dishes were provided promptly and the quality of the food was of a high standard. Two of which we enjoyed in particular was the Aubergine fritters and Chorizo al Vino (Spicy sausage, red wine, onions). On this occasion we visited during the week and would consider a return perhaps on the weekend in the future."
