La Tasca Del Barrio

The food and service was absolutely perfect! Booked a table a few days before we came and the process was smooth. We had an Iberico pork paella and it was lush. Prices are very reasonable. Definitely recommend if you’re in Alicante x

I'm always a little offended when I speak Spanish and the staff decides English works better. It does for the group but... We came without a reservation as we wanted to sit outside. The website states outside reservations are not possible yet there was a reserved table there. However, we got a spot, probably the last one. Prices are very reasonable for a central place. We came for tapas. Some of them have been prepared ahead, which is reasonable but a little disappointing as well. Our gambas al ajillo didn't bubble, a little sad. The waiter was helpful, letting us know that we probably reached our stomach limit when ordering, and it was also quite true.

It is the second time I'm dining in this place. We were lucky to find a table without reservation on a Thursday night for 2 people. We ordered ensaladilla rusa which was amazing and soooo tasty and of course arroz con mariscos. We don't have enough words to describe our experience. The service was 10/10, really helpful and super friendly, we felt like we were being special treated. The food overall was really delicious and the price we paid was totally worth it. Keep up the great work guys and I'm definitely coming back!!

Diego and Janet were great. The octopus, the calamari, the black ink arroz, the gambas al ajillo, the meatball - all was finger licking good. Probably one of the best we had in Spain!

I want to thank David and Gabi for the perfect service. They spend a lot of time with my friends and I to explain us the menú.
I can suggest to take fish, it was amazing and the taste was really good.

Highly Recommended🤩🤩🤩5 stars are not enough to describe the reality ! Diego was so professional and friendly! All the dishes were amazingly delicious, waiting for the table was worth it 😊🤩🤩

Food was great, service was amazing. Geraldine was very helpful with making choices and booking the table:) All in all, highly recommended!

Excellent food, very kind staff, I love this place. I am sure, I will come back here with my love.

great place if you are looking for an authentic tapas meal. would recommend booking as we walked in but did wait, however we grabbed a drink round the corner and managed to get an outside table later.

paella was lovely along with some really fresh seafood.

the waitress and waiter were absolutely brilliant, both accommodating and welcoming. would highly recommend

Great service, excellent tapas, and good paella. The dessert is also wonderful. Thank you!

A hidden secret in Alicante. Out of the way, excellent food and drinks and of course top class service. You won’t be disappointed.

I have been going to Spain for many years now and I can confidently say this is the best tapas restaurant I have ever visited!

The food is extremely delicious, staff is attentive and well organised and the prices are very reasonable. This restaurant is so good in fact we decided to go back two nights in a row.

Loved it and thank you again!

This is possibly the best restaurant in Alicante. Lovely authentic food (tapas and paella), brilliant service - we made our reservation with Tatiana, who made everything so easy for us. We were also served by a man (I didn’t get his name) who served us a few nights before and remembered us, a very lovely gentleman. This is one of the best authentic Spanish restaurants in Alicante and I would recommend it to everyone who visits this city!
If you are going, I wouldn’t recommend reserving a table as they get very busy.

Honestly so delicious and so worth the money!! My boyfriend and I wanted authentic tapas that wasn’t solely around fish and this place was the perfect sweet point. Gorgeously decorated with lovely fairy lights outside, perfect place to people watch. The food was to die for, staff so friendly especially Nico, service was super quick and so reasonably priced. Don’t sleep on this place!

delicious vegetable paella, patatas bravas and drinks. good prices for size and quality. lovely atmosphere and efficient service. need to book in advance, as very busy. would happily go back again!

We had an excellent meal here! David was lovely and attentive, made it a really fantastic experience. Also very accommodating to vegetarians. Would definitely recommend!

The staff is great, correct and helpful.
The mejillones was very good. The paella with secreto very tasty.
The prices was fair.
I would repeat the visit.

Festival time in Alicante means the best places are often pre-booked, but Nico and Geraldine welcomed us in and managed to get us a sneaky table for two if we were quick before the reservations kicked in at 3pm. Lovely inside away from the heat and noise of the city, and the tapas is some of the best in town. If you get the garlic prawns then don’t let them take the skillet away as it’s perfectly to dip your bread. We were assured everything is made in their own kitchens, and it definitely shows in the quality and taste of everything we tried. Hope to come back soon to try the bigger dishes!

We had a lovely meal here last week. We booked for 19:30, when it opened. I recommend that you book as it is a busy place.

We shared a meatballs to start as we wanted to save room for the rice. The meatballs were nicely spiced and tender. They were served in a sauce and with fried potatoes on top. Nice dish.

For the main course we had the seafood rice which was delicious. It had prawns and squid in it and had a wonderful flavour.

Definitely visit this place if you like well cooked authentic and local cuisine. Great service too. I will be back.

Amazing restaurant, good tapas and even better service. Our waiter Nico was super kind and had great suggestions for our meals. We recommend this place, 10/10!
