I had chosen Atasca in Kensington, Durban North for dinner on the last night of 2018. I was highly impressed with the food selection, quality of food, presentation as well as friendly and informed service from the staff. Excellent vegetarian options as well and a fantastic dessert menu. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone in the Durban area.
I was waiting for my lunch "date" when I discovered A Tasca. I was staring at their lunch special without really seeing it, when the manager approached me. I made an impulsive decision and changed our lunch venue. We both enjoyed the food so much, that I totally forgot to take photos. Luckily I remembered when I saw the creme brulee's presentation. A very lovely place and the food is great! Try their lunch special, it value for money.

Love the new decor... Used to go there years ago.. I don't know if there is a new owner. Well done with the new look.. Love it.. And food absolutely Devine.. All three of us enjoyed our food... Very good idea with the Sunday menu.. Friendly staff.. Good vibes.. You definitely see me again.
Portuguese chicken is awesome- juicy: you can taste the lemon and garlic, without it being overpowered by the chilli-heat.
Live music on Sunday is great and adds to the atmosphere ( it just needs to be turned a tad ).

The meals are well prepared. Table service is good. Waitrons are friendly. Good atmosphere. Parking at times can be a bit of an issue. I prefer the Durban North branch as opposed to the Westville one.
Okay so firstly.. food was good.. the prices I guess are reasonable considering the size of prawns and type of calamari used.. I loved loved loved loved the rice that comes with the meal.. goes great with the food.. and I LOVE the mash too..
When you sit down, you get 6 rolls brought to your table along with butter..
The only negative thing I guess is that on their menus.. they don't specify prices of ordinary cool drinks and milkshakes yet they do offer this.. on the food menu they don't specify prices of rolls or additional sides.. like garlic rolls etc.. and this can sometimes leave you guessing till you get your bill..
But other than that.. waiters are extremely helpful and efficient.. very friendly and approachable..
Loved this place.. took our moms out for Mother's Day and the only thing I regret is not trying their brownie dessert..
Worth it!
We visited on a Tuesday evening. Despite it being a week day, with cold windy conditions, there were a fair number of patrons in the warm comfortable interior of the resturant. The resturant also has an outdoor seating area.
The menu caters for most tastes although this is a Portuguese style restaurant. We settled for the full chicken with half rice and half wedges. The food was served piping hot and was delicious. The service was attentive without being intrusive. The prices were fairly reasonable.
Atascadero is a good, family oriented resturant, serving scrumptious food. We will definitely be back.
I had an amazing time here. The ambiance, friendly service, scrumptious food. Do try the squid head starter!!! My peri peri calamari was also quite good, actually everything was. Perfect date night
