Pleasing to eat
Tasty describes food or drink that has a pleasing flavor: a tasty meal, tasty snacks.
It implies satisfying rather than refined—you'd call street food tasty, not a Michelin-starred tasting menu.
Informally, tasty can describe anything appealing: a tasty profit, a tasty goal.
In British slang, a tasty person is sexually attractive.
