I went to Tasca on a recent trip to Boston for my birthday dinner and felt completely cheated. I do not know how this restaurant can have such high reviews, my only guess is that these folks have never had truly good tapas. The sangria tasted very watery and the fruit in it had poor texture. We ordered five dishes, only one was something I would order again (the goat cheese fritters). The cuban potatoes were boiled then tossed in sauce, not at all crispy. The pork loin tasted like it was in gravy from a jar. The vegetable timbale was overcooked and very bland. The pepper corn meatballs were OK, but the ""sauce"" tasted more like Heinz gravy with pepper (LOTS of pepper) added. Worst of all was the dessert. We ordered the ice cream crepes which had obviously been prepared DAYS in advance then frozen poorly so they tasted like freezer burn. The chocolate torte was just downright disgusting. We ended up sending both desserts back. I will say that our waiter was wonderfully attentive and very apologetic about our dissatisfaction with the food. I would NEVER eat there again and would sooner recommend McDonald's for a birthday meal. YUCK YUCK YUCK!
Pros: Service, atmosphere
Cons: the Food
