Spanish Cuisine, Tapas, Paella - La Tasca del Norte restaurants were born in Guayaquil in 2004. The first of them, now temporarily closed due to the effects of covid-19, in the business area of ​​the city, in Kennedy Norte. Years later, in 2016, the second of them was opened in Samborondon, in the Plaza Lagos urbanization and shopping center; this attends normally. The main idea was, and still is, that of a restaurant where you can eat Spanish specialties. Traditional Spanish food, paying attention primarily to the quality of the product and with traditional preparations. Fresh fish and seafood, classic rice dishes, meats and roasts.The menu maintains a first section of portions and tapas to share, starting with the potato omelette, and from the Galician octopus to some garlic shrimp, from some serrano ham croquettes to Spanish cheeses with D.O. certified. Then, typical stews such as tripe or lentils, rice in paella or broth, cuts of grilled meat or good fish, tuna in various ways, iron, Biscay, or white fish in traditional stews, Galician style, or in a seafood sauce. From our oven, suckling pig and shoulder or shanks of lamb and, why not, some roast pork ribs or knuckles. The desserts, classics too.
