About La Taska de Isozaki
La Taska de Isozaki is a casual Basque and Spanish seafood & grill tavern in Abando. The details point to a direct place for seafood, grilled dishes and tavern-style Basque cooking rather than a page built around ceremony or extras. Héctor Velasco and Rodrigo Rotela lead the kitchen, and the price is about $30 per person.
The clearest reason to consider it is the sea-and-land format. Signature dishes include chuletón de vaca gallega, mariscos y pescados a la parrilla, croquetas caseras, chipirones encebollados, zamburiñas and tartar de atún rojo. That makes it practical for a table choosing between grilled seafood, shellfish, familiar tavern plates and beef. For a broader scan of the area before committing, use our full Abando restaurants guide, then treat this as a casual seafood-and-grill tavern option.
Use the hours to plan lunch or dinner
La Taska de Isozaki serves lunch Tuesday through Sunday, with dinner service Tuesday through Saturday. As of July 2026, the hours are Monday closed; Tuesday–Saturday 13:30–16:00 and 20:30–23:00; and Sunday 13:30–16:00 only. Those hours make it usable for both a midday meal and an evening meal on most operating days.
For ordering, build the meal around one clear anchor. If the table is seafood-led, focus on mariscos y pescados a la parrilla, zamburiñas, chipirones encebollados or tartar de atún rojo. If the table is meat-led, make the chuletón de vaca gallega the point of the meal and keep the rest simple with tavern plates such as croquetas caseras.
