This place has food that brings me back every time. Service is good but even if it was bad the food is good enough to make it a gem of joburg. Feels like Lisboa away from the tourist trails, eating with the locals.
Often find myself returning to this little restaurant, but never sure what to expect. Service is always excellent, ambience unpredictable but usually vibrant, food always very affordable and edible but quality varies. Last night, however, I had the best espetado and chips imaginable and my friend a superb chicken peri-peri for an unbelievably good price, served by one of the best waitresses I've come across in years. In addition, a bottle of Beyerskloof pinotage was marked up by less than 50%. The entire experience was faultless.
It is the best food in the world .the food is to die for the chicken is tastey and delicious and ❤the service is so friendly the design is like madeira it's self
This is one of those hidden gems - really good, down to earth food at a good price with good, friendly service. We'll definitely be back soon!
So second time back after nearly two months and I have to say so much better this time around
Had the chourico and calamari starter and then the lamb chops as a main
Food was outstanding and service was excellent
Originally I had a 3.5 for this place but after yesterday it's upped to a 4.0
Well done Tasca I'll def come back for more
Keep up the good work
Good quality food at reasonable prices. Their daily specials are value for money and service at this restaurant is exceptional. I've had their prawns twice and will definitely be back to try other menu items. Although located in an odd spot, Tasca is well worth a visit.
Food 4/5
Service 4/5
Ambience 3/5
A good Portuguese restaurant hidden away in the suburbs. Ideal if you are not in a rush and prepared to take in the ambiance. Chicken and fish dishes a firm favourite. Konichiwa
Great authentic Portuguese food!
The resturant itself reminds me of sitting in a caffe in the countryside of Portugal.
The food is delicious and the staff are super friendly.
Be still my beating heart. These are the little gems that made me start reviewing in the first place. If you've read my reviews in the past, you will realize, I love a good beer, I love a clean place to eat, I love good service and the experience needs to be worth the money I'm spending. That being said, when you finally reach Tasca Dos Amigos you will experience all of the above. It's not untidy but rather Rustic. Quick hint, ask for Sam... she has a sense of humour and she brought food on time, always asked how we doing and wasn't scared to crack a smile. Love it love it love it. Yes, it's in Fairlands, yes it might not be mainstream but yes you should drive out of your way to get there. It's not fine dining, it's not flashy but a good meal out is more than that.... it's about how you feel when you leave, and if it's not... your a snob. Boomshakalaka....
There are hidden gems in Joburg and Tasca dos Amigos is definitely one of them. No-frills attached. It relies on the pillars of good restauranteering: great food, friendly service, and an authentic vibe. (It is a pity that they are not open on a Sunday).
I rate the peri-peri Chicken at No2 in Johannesburg.
Wonderful food...my fourth time...no nonscence just great food every time. Thank you. Would like to think that more people should know about this amazing just great food place. Highly recommended.
Surely the Fairland community can help this local place to stay alive? There arent many "local" family restaurants left. It's not what it used to be ie a total bar.
The food is still excellent and the staff, Zenobia and Ashley, are doing their utmost. Louis would hate to see it close after so long.
Let's be a community and help our local out in every aspect
Really had a great night out. Casual atmosphere. We had a large party.
The food was great. Not one person complained about the food. Everyone really enjoyed themselves.
I had a Portuguese steak. 500g of tender beef.
Our waitress Jess was really great and looked after us all. Thanks Jess.
Well recommended.
Great waiters. Great food (especially the ribs!). Great party atmosphere. It's a nice, rustic, comfortable place to chill with friends. Simple seating and decor.
GREAT food hidden on the Suburbs of Fairlands area.
Food took a bit long to arrive but was worth the wait. Nice size portions and good value.
Food quality was fantastic the best prawns and calamari. will debility go back and refer people there. The waiters and floor staff was so professional and friendly making the customer feel like the king. Would go back over and over again. the beer the food the vibe and people are awesome.
Keep up the good work
Awesome experience, very traditional need more places like these.🤩🤩
It's a little run down and beverage stock very low, but food was good as always.
Great restaurant with a great vibe and the food was excellent, waitress was efficient and friendly and we watched the Springboks vs Wales first test and we won so it was a good evening. We had the Prawns mains and the Beef Enchiladas, very very good.
The food is amazing!! Portion sizes are more than enough for an average eater! We did wait a while before we got our food but we were also a large group of 16! Next time we'll definitely order ahead! Good place for a work lunch or family/friends outing
