La Tasca Tapas Restaurant 25 West Davis Street, Arlington Heights, IL 60005

"This restaurant was a real pleasure from the minute that we walked in to peruse the menu and I asked if they had a nice sangria then promptly ended up with the answer in the form of a large sample in a cold glass in my hand. I mean, how do you deny the art of the sale in that? The experience never declined from that high point. We very much enjoyed the skillful table service and the array of dishes that we chose. Nothing too fancy about it; just really good and lovingly prepared food served by grateful staff. Like visiting Greece and Spain all at once... In Arlington Heights. We will be happy to visit La Tasca as often as we can."

"We ordered about 7 tapas dishes. The only dish that tasted pretty good was octopus. Rest of the dishes were average. The paella was also average. My son, who is 12 years old, can cook a better paella than this restaurant. The worse thing is that the restaurant charges a 3% surcharge if you want to pay by credit card. It is unheard of to charge a surcharge for credit card. I do not recommend this restaurant."

"Recently hosted a private party and the experience was nothing short of exceptional! The staff went above and beyond to ensure our celebration was flawless. They were attentive and friendly. The private dining area was intimate and spacious, providing the ideal setting for our celebration. Thank you Danny and the team for making it an evening to remember."

"Good food with plenty of options. The service was really good, friendly, and fast. The tapas are good-size portions for tapas. The peach sangria was mediocre. Amazing location in downtown Arlington Heights with plenty to do (and eat and drink) around. The outside sitting is pleasant when they close the street and the weather is nice. Good place to chill and grab a drink (but not the peach sangria) with friends, a date night, or even alone. Good vibe. Would go again to try more tapas."

"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 super delicious. Potatoes with cayenne sauce are must have with other dishes, it just goes perfectly. Dishes don't come together to the 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 is also very fresh and spiced well. Only dish we didn't like was the fried eggplant, it was very sweet from honey, so we didn't finish that one. Beef tenderloin was tender and fries were like chips from Europe.. Very interesting place and great menu! Only disappointment was cheesecake, it's not even close to any other cheesecake I tried, it could be different style, but it just wasn't prepared good. Service is friendly and easy going. Huge recommendation for this restaurant!"
