La Tasca Tapas & Bar

La Tasca appears to be a clear restaurant snack bar with small tables outside where the smokers are placed among the dishes of of italian spiced sausages and sangria. Once inside however, the downstairs (not immeadiatly noticeable at street level) is a large cool dark spanish taven with full bar and quaint tables bathed in soft candlelight. The well stocked bar offers a very comfortable Sangria from a traditional goblet (which, as it turns out is a little pricey at £12). The staff parading around are a little less impressive, they add a foreign element to the atmosphere and it instantly becomes difficult to convey a correct order.

Overall the place is not overcrowded but a nice quick stop for food before and evening out in the surrounding area of Oxford Circus and the west end. 5/10
