" As a Mexican food enthusiast, I was eager to try El Tarasco. The atmosphere was vibrant and gave off good vibes, but unfortunately, the food didn't meet my expectations. While it looked great, the chicken in my enchiladas was overcooked, and the flavors felt a bit muted. My partner enjoyed their burrito, but they too mentioned it wasn’t as spicy as they anticipated. We also felt our server could increase attentiveness. Overall a decent place, but I don’t think I will be rushing back anytime soon, as I seek authentic flavors from my meals. Hoping it was just an off night! " (*Curated Review*)

" Such a delightful experience dining at El Tarasco! The staff was friendly and made us feel right at home. My partner and I shared a couple of dishes, including the fajitas and beef tacos, both of which were not only substantial but also tasted amazing. The flavors were authentic, and everything was made with care. We appreciated the large portion sizes, as we managed to take some leftovers home. The atmosphere was lively, and you could tell it was a popular spot, making it feel welcoming and vibrant. A wonderful evening, will definitely return when back in town! " (*Curated Review*)

" El Tarasco truly exceeded my expectations! The varied menu was filled with enticing options. I decided to try the fajitas and loved how generous the portions were—they filled up nearly the entire plate! The flavors were rich and authentically Mexican. I also loved their mole sauce which is often hard to find in the Northwoods. The service was consistently attentive without hovering. A great dinner overall, and I will definitely be back for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" We came for a special occasion and were delighted by our dining experience at El Tarasco. The restaurant was bustling as it was Friday night, but we felt well taken care of. Our server was friendly and made some great recommendations. I tried their tres leches cake for dessert and it was so delicious—the best I've ever had! The portion sizes were plentiful, and I left feeling pleasantly full. The environment was festive, which added to the celebration vibe. Would highly recommend visiting; it has surpassed my expectations for Mexican cuisine. Thank you, El Tarasco! " (*Curated Review*)

" El Tarasco did not live up to my expectations based on the reviews I read beforehand. While the space is beautifully decorated, the food served was quite bland, lacking the authentic taste I was searching for. It was a busy evening, and though they had many servers, our waiter seemed stretched thin and inattentive. I wanted a better overall experience but left feeling disappointed. Perhaps I will give it another shot during a quieter time! " (*Curated Review*)

" Visiting El Tarasco was an absolute treat! The moment we walked in, we were greeted with a warm atmosphere and colorful decor that reminded me of my travels to Mexico. The food was incredibly authentic; I tried the carne asada tacos, and they were seasoned perfectly with just the right amount of spice. The portions were generous, and we couldn't stop ourselves from indulging in the homemade guacamole, which was the best I've ever had. Service was prompt, with our waiter checking in just enough to make us feel cared for but not intruding on our meal. Overall, a wonderful experience. I will definitely be returning for another fiesta! " (*Curated Review*)

" Our group recently tried El Tarasco, and it was a delightful experience overall! The ambiance was festive and lively, making it an ideal spot for a fun night out. I personally had the chicken taco plate, which was tasty but maybe a bit on the salty side for my taste. However, I appreciate the generous portion! Service was friendly but slightly slow at times. Despite that, we enjoyed every bit of our meal. The drinks were fantastic too, enhancing our experience. I would certainly return on a less busy day for a second chance! " (*Curated Review*)
