"A little surprise in Toledo! First time my kids had venison and they loved it! Chipirones were the best so far… and my favorite was the Iberian pork patty sandwich! Lovely friendly staff."
Herns Hermida
"We stopped for lunch at La Tarasca in Toledo, Spain, a cozy spot that serves classic Spanish flavors with a homestyle touch. Their patatas bravas come crisp on the outside and very tasty, while the huevos de corral highlight the richness of free-range eggs, cooked simply to let the quality shine. The ensaladilla rusa was creamy and light, while the blueberry cheesecake was a bit soft on the inside. We all thought service was excellent: I thought the food was good but other family members considered it average and a bit pricey."
