“ We stopped in for dinner while visiting the area and had a great experience! I was worried about having to wait since we arrived a bit after 5pm on a Saturday, but service was even faster than I could have hoped for. Everyone was friendly, the food was amazing, and we didn’t wait on anything. All around wonderful. Thanks so much! ”

“ Wow!! Another gem! Food was authentic and VERY tasty! Service was lightning fast and the staff were friendly and made us feel welcome. Prices were amazing as well, albeit worth so much more in our experience. One of the best Mexican cuisine we have had in some time! I highly recommend El Tarasco! If you are local, feel blessed to have such amazing food close by. If you are passing through, definitely stop for a quick bite! Thank you El Tarasco!!! Muy Bueno! La comida esta perfecto!! Muchas gracias!! ”
“ I liked that the menu was under the clear table top but the writing was a bit too small to read. We used the QR code and pulled up the menu on iOS and on Android and still couldn't see it well. Took a screen shot and still couldn't see it well. Staff was great and the chili relleno from the combo plate menu was AMAZING! The chalupa was a taco shell with no meat (unless you pay extra) but was delicious and served with refried beans, white queso, and fried rice with lettuce. The quesadilla and taco from the combo menu was good for a quick, inexpensive meal. This place has that “hole-in-the-wall” feel but doesn't feel cramped inside. It is wheelchair accessible but it would be a bit tight. Plenty of parking and clean bathrooms. ”
“ Absolutely amazing spot! The Mexican vibe is authentic and on point, the staff is super friendly, and the prices are unbelievable. I had a glass of beer and a bowl of soup for just 15 — as someone from New York, I was blown away. Great atmosphere, great value. Highly recommend ”
“ “Fantastic Mexican food! Every dish is bursting with authentic flavors, from the perfectly seasoned tacos to the rich, spicy sauces. The fresh ingredients and generous portions make it a great value. Highly recommend for anyone craving a true taste of Mexico!” ”
