" My experience at El Tarasco was quite disappointing. The food was acceptable, but there were several issues. Firstly, my order took too long to arrive, and when it did, it wasn't exactly what I had asked for. The tacos tasted fine, but I've had better elsewhere, and the portion sizes seemed smaller than I expected for the price. I might give them another chance, but this visit didn’t impress me much. " (*Curated Review*)

" El Tarasco has the most authentic Mexican food I've had in a long time! The flavors in their tacos are vibrant and fresh. The tacos I ordered came with a generous portion—definitely worth the price. The environment is unpretentious, giving it that authentic hole-in-the-wall feel. I hope they keep up the great food quality and service as I plan to return often! " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve eaten at a lot of Mexican places, but El Tarasco stands out far above the rest! The tacos here are genuinely fantastic; the meat is always well-seasoned and the toppings are fresh. My go-to is the steak taco, which is phenomenal. I also appreciate that they keep prices low without sacrificing quality. It can get pretty busy, especially on weekends, but the service is always decent. Can’t recommend this place enough! " (*Curated Review*)

" I have been a fan of El Tarasco for years! Their tacos are simply unbeatable. Last weekend, I treated my family to a taco night, and everyone was raving about how fresh and delicious everything tasted. The birria is my personal favorite, bursting with flavor and perfectly spiced. My kids love the queso dip, too! The only downside is the small seating area, but we typically get takeout anyway. Prices are very reasonable for the quality of food you get. Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" I adore El Tarasco! Every visit, I've been blown away by how fresh and authentic their food is. The margaritas are also worth trying; they’re refreshing without being overly sweet. The staff is always friendly and attentive. I've yet to find something on the menu that I didn't like. The taco portion sizes are great, and the quality is consistent. A wonderful experience every single time! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had such high hopes for El Tarasco based on the reviews, but my experience was a bit mixed. I ordered their birria tacos, which were decent but didn’t quite live up to the hype. The meat was flavorful, but I found the portion to be a bit lacking. The ambiance is friendly and welcoming, but the service could use some work—my order was a little slow coming out. I might try again in the future but I need a better experience to fully commit. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a fantastic discovery! El Tarasco serves some of the best tacos I’ve had outside of Mexico. The steak was perfectly seasoned and the tortillas were freshly made, which made all the difference. The staff were friendly and provided quick service despite the busy lunch hour. The only complaint is the limited seating, but that speaks volumes about how popular the place is. I can't wait to go back! " (*Curated Review*)
