Made another visit to La Tapa after very busy days for both my wife and I. We were both tired, hungry and looking to have a good meal in a pleasant environment, which meant that this restaurant rose straight to the top of our list.
Of course, we made our Degusta reservation and we were warmly welcomed when we arrived. and seated right away. Love the vibe at this place - always playing Caribbean style music, the servers wear AfroCariibean headgear, comfortable seating, with great food and service.
My wife ordered the One Pot Colonese - can't miss with this selection. Everything was clearly made fresh and served hot and tasty. I ordered the Costillas Afrotaki (Afrotaki Spareribs) - my first time trying this dish and it was a delight. The grilled ribs were done to perfection with an African style rub and served with a sweet Teriyaki sauce. I had it with the coconut rice and peas, which, along with a couple of Tiny Winey beers, made for a perfect pairing. Our son had his usual, chicken fingers and french fries, which he fully enjoyed.
To finish it all off, we shared a special chocolate cake desert, called "Close your eyes good". This was our first time trying it and it was a definite hit amongst the 3 of us. A great cap to an enjoyable evening at this fun restaurant.
I highly recommend this place for anyone that enjoys food with flavor in a cozy setting with relaxing ambiance. You just can't go wrong at La Tapa!
