" What a disappointment! After hearing rave reviews, I decided to order takeout from El Tarasco. The chicken fajitas were nowhere near the quality I expected. The meat was dry and lacked flavor. Maybe dining in would offer a different experience, but I was really let down. And on top of that, the service seemed unorganized when I called in my order. Unfortunately, I won't be ordering again anytime soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" This is, without a doubt, my favorite Mexican restaurant in town! The atmosphere feels like an authentic Mexican fiesta, especially with the bright decorations and lively music. The staff is friendly and attentive, creating a welcoming vibe. I love their taco plates, particularly the carne asada tacos; they’re always cooked to perfection. You get generous portions for a reasonable price too. What’s not to love? I highly recommend El Tarasco to anyone! " (*Curated Review*)

" Honestly, my family and I have been going to El Tarasco for years and it has always been a favorite spot. However, our last visit was a bit disappointing. The food was good, but I expected more based on past experiences. My pork taco was quite salty this time, and I didn't appreciate that. It felt like a one-off mistake, so I'm willing to return, but I hope they get back to their previous standards! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited El Tarasco last weekend and the experience was quite mixed. While the food’s taste was decent and reflected authentic flavors, the service was terribly slow. We waited quite a while for our food, which was a bit disappointing. The vibe of the restaurant is nice though; it has a warm, homey feel that makes you want to stay. Overall, I might give it another chance to see if the service improves. " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing great things about El Tarasco, my family decided to try it out. While the food was enjoyable, with authentic flavors, I was disappointed by the service. We waited a lot longer for our food than expected, and even longer for the check. The atmosphere didn’t help since it felt a bit chaotic that night. I’d give it another shot, but only if it’s not busy. " (*Curated Review*)
