La Tasca de Baños

We came as a group, waited over 1hr to be served food. Food was nor hot, and everyone at the table wasv serve at different times. Some of the griup did receive therir dish at all. While other tables were served the same dish (clams). At the end he refused to give change, as we didn't want to tip, for the poor service.

This is probably the best restaurant in Baños. The food is incredible and unique. When I was in town I went there way too often, because it was so good. I doubt there’s another place within 1000 miles that does authentic Spanish tapas. I highly recommend the meatballs and octopus, but the papas bravas were also a big hit with our group. Oh, and we got paella a few times, which was divine (but you need to order it in advance, due to the long preparation time). The owner and kitchen staff are perfectionists, and it really shows in every aspect. Although the food is very high end, the prices are very reasonable. The atmosphere is versatile: It is a perfect place for a group celebration, but also great for a romantic date, or even a quiet meal or drink alone. I found myself stopping by for a relaxing sangria by myself more than once. If it is not busy, the owner may come talk to you - he is a fascinating guy. I can’t remember his name right now, but you will know him when you meet him because he is an excellent conversationalist and speaks several languages, including perfect English.

La Tasca has become our “go-to” place in Misahualli, for drinks and dining. Although a Spanish Tapas restaurant, often heavy in meat items, La Tasca offers some great vegetarian and vegan dishes, with more being added. We’ve tried the veggie paella (order ahead of time), the hummus platter, papas bravas, ensalada, pesto pasta (made fresh vegan without Parmesan for us), and Gloria is adding some fantastic falafels to the menu. We look forward to new vegan fare in the future. And the Vino Tinto de Verano really hits the spot on a warm afternoon.

I lived in Baños last year for 6 weeks and tried a ton of restaurants. Somehow I missed this place back then, but I just discovered it with my friend while we're in town this weekend. Definitely a standout restaurant in Baños, and I've tried all the best restaurants here. I can't name anywhere in Baños I've eaten as delicious. Make sure to get the meatballs and the octopus mango tartar which where the shining stars of my meal (although all of it was great).

It is spanish food restaurant. It's salty for me, but overall it was delicious. Especailly fried squid and octopus are very delicious.

If you're looking for Spanish tapas you defiantly need to come here. Great food and the owner and his wife are very friendly.

This is my favorite restaurant anywhere in the world. Luckily it's in my favorite town, as well

Lovely tapas and great wine! Would definitely visit again!
