I grew up eating at El Tarasco, and it’s been my favorite restaurant for as long as I can remember. Even after moving down to South Orange County, I still stop by any time I’m anywhere near the area, and honestly, I’ve made the full hour drive more than once just for the food. It’s that good.
The food at El Tarasco tastes like home. Every bite feels comforting, flavorful, and consistently amazing. They’ve managed to keep that same taste and quality year after year, which is rare these days.
But what makes El Tarasco truly special isn’t just the food, it’s the people. They treat you like family from the moment you walk in. And it’s not just because I’ve been coming here my whole life. That’s how they treat everyone. The amount of people I see on a first name basis with the staff blows my mind. No matter the time of day, when you walk in, the energy is always warm, welcoming, and full of life. And every time I leave, I’m in a better mood than when I walked in.
Everything about this place…the food (Crispy Tacos & Jr Super Deluxe – Asada) , the people, the atmosphere, just makes you feel good.El Tarasco will always be more than a restaurant to me. It’s my happy place, and no matter where I live, it’ll always feel like home.

Very nice and friendly service. Nice parking lot in the back. But the tortilla chips were REALLY greasy. And the salsa was a bit too spicy for my taste. I wish they had a milder option.
I liked how they had a grilled fish burrito, but the pollock was kind of fishy smelling and didn’t seem very fresh. Portions were gigantic at $11. The burrito itself was a bit bland without the salsa, but then I could barely stomach the salsa because it was too spicy. They gave a generous large cup of the salsa though.
The breakfast burrito was tasty but very salty from the bacon and sausage and cheese.

I enjoyed the food We had smothered burritos and they were giant. We had carnitas and some kind of beef proteins. The rice and beans were excellent. I would highly recommend that cheese and bean burrito as a side… Yummy
They provide fresh fried tortillas but there’s no getting around the cilantro in the salsa so that could not try it.
I would recommend this place for affordable Mexican food.

Good food. Bad service. Seems they’re chronically understaffed. The people who do work there are nice and are always hustling. Seems like they may be overwhelmed and it takes a long time to get anything. That’s both for dine in and takeout. I was left in hold for almost 10 minutes recently and decided to go in. They had put the phone down and forgot to get back to me. Iwanted to order one of their daily specials that are not available on any food delivery app. The cashier looked at the handset and hung up my call after I asked if the phone were down. Worth the visit. Keep in mind time will not be on your side.

Best Mexican food in all of South Bay. Chips are made fresh daily along with the salsa. Have not ordered a single thing from the menu I have not liked. Favorites are the burritos and tacos. The prices are competitive and lunch specials are great. Service is fast and helpful. Fun ambiance.

This is a good neighborhood place and my friend has many memories from here. The taco was a bit weak tasting for carnitas, but the corn tortilla was delicious! Thanks Nansea for the treat!
