" El Tarasco really knows how to serve authentic food! Just had their flautas, and they were absolutely amazing. The presentation was great, and the taste was even better. I was surprised by how quickly the meal came out, given how busy it was. The staff were attentive and made us feel right at home! " (*Curated Review*)

" El Tarasco is perfect for casual nights with friends. I've always loved their tacos; they have great flavor and variety. The staff is usually quite friendly, but I have encountered a few instances where they're not attentive enough. Still, it's a fun place to unwind and enjoy good food without worrying about frills. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited El Tarasco after hearing so many good things and unfortunately, my experience didn’t match the hype. The service was slower than expected, and though the food was decent, it lacked the vibrant flavors I was hoping for. My taco was quite salty and the rice didn’t feel fresh either. It was a letdown and I might reconsider going back. " (*Curated Review*)

" We had a fantastic family dinner at El Tarasco last weekend! The kids loved the cheese quesadillas, and I enjoyed the shrimp enchiladas. Everything came out perfectly and flavorful. The staff was friendly and engaging—which made the night even better. I appreciate that they accommodate our smaller kids as well. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was rather disappointed with my meal at El Tarasco. The posole I ordered was more like a gravy than the soup I expected, and it was way too thick. I also didn’t appreciate that they were not flexible with customizing my order. While the ambiance was nice, this visit falls flat for me. I might not return after this experience.

" I recently ordered the shrimp tacos here for the first time, and they were packed with big, juicy shrimp. The flavor was delightful! However, the guacamole on the side tasted old, which detracted from the overall experience. I will still come back for another try, hoping the guacamole might be fresher next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Visited El Tarasco after hearing several recommendations, and it definitely did not disappoint! The ambiance is vibrant and the food… oh my, the food! The carne asada plate was perfectly cooked, and the homemade tortillas were a delight. The service could be improved a bit as we waited longer than expected for our drinks, but overall a wonderful experience! " (*Curated Review*)
