Food is not overpriced either
Vonnie M.

It is in a posh location with many other restaurants along the same street. My friend and I decided to give this one a try and was rather disappointed. Whenever I experience poor service, I don't blame the waiters but the manager, because he/she didn't train and manage the staff sufficiently. After ordering a G/T while waiting for my friend to arrive, another waiter asked me if I wanted a drink. In a proper restaurant there should be sufficient internal communication to avoid this. The food, braised ox tail which I was told a Madrid specialty, was mediocre. Honestly I cook more tasty ox tail. He didn't give me the correct cutlery for the main until I asked otherwise I had to eat with the best knife and the tiny salad fork! The problem was towards the latter part of the dinner, the waiter cleared my friends players while I was still eating! And asked me 3 times if I have finished!! My ox tail was only half way through and I didn't put my knife and fork together, a simple and clear sign of finishing the food. It's not particular late that he was rushing to go home. There were still 70% of the customers at the restaurant so they didn't need to kick us out and make space either. The plus side is that the wine list is about 15 page long and reasonably priced. The street is hustling with well dressed people so it's a nice spot for people watching. The outdoor seats are very pleasant. As long as you stick with the winner and olives, it's still a nice spot for a glass.

I have a funny story about this place. I like going to at least once nice-ish meal each time I'm in…read morea new city. My travel companion, who booked this, did not tell me the name of the restaurant beforehand. I was completely in the dark. Upon walking into the restaurant at 8:30pm, when they open, we were the first ones there, and were presented with a menu. So........ La Tasqueria's specialty is, erm, offal (this is more punny if you pronounce offal as "awful", since I'm not sure exactly how to pronounce this...). All offal. This was a surprise to all (there was not adequate research done beforehand, apparently). Now, I do love me some tongue (and the tongue appetizer they had was amazing)....and the pate from the tasting menu was one of the best things I've ever had. This was just...unexpected. And totally on us for not realizing. But we figured, what the hell, they specialize in offal, it must be offal-ly good. And it really was. The tasting menu was 4-5 dishes, and like I said, the pate was one of the best things I had ever put in my mouth. I could eat that all day. There was also sweetbread, which I thought at first was brain, but turns out it's throat glands (like, thyroid). This was delicious as well.....but I'll admit, we both had a hard time psychologically getting over the fact that it was...offal. The last dish was a stew made of cheeks (I can't remember if it was sheep or cow or pork), and this was my biggest regret -- I was SO full I could only take a few bites, because it was so heavy, but the stew was hot and flavorful and sticky, and just, delicious. I wish I had the stomach for it. They also had a cheese dish (we ended up taking home the cheese) and dessert. All in all, a really interesting and unique experience! Service was great. (From January 2020)

Warning, shady reservation cancellation fees not disclosed when booking…read more.. Poor customer service. Had to cancel two hours ahead of a reservation due to illness and they insisted on charging us 100€ anyways. I talked on the phone with them and asked for help waiving the fee but they insisted on charging me anyways. Feels like a scam because it says "no reservation fee" in large type when making your reservation.
