El Tarasco

Andrew Rodney

Very good food, huge portions, pretty authentic. Had Fish Taco and Shrimp enchilada Friday special, sat outside with the three dogs on their nice patio; perfect.

I ordered the Egg and Cheesy Quesadilla with a mimosa, and it was the best breakfast I've had since I've been in LA during my week stay! Monica was a nice and sweet waitress! As someone who eats a lot of Mexican food in the Bay Area, I highly recommend getting a bite to eat here 👌🏿

Super Deluxe Burrito with shredded beef was amazing and too big to eat! Everyone enjoyed their food. Service was good. Not crowded either.

Watched Dodgers win the World Series over dinner!

Wow, was told by family that El Tarasco had killer burritos and they were right. This is a local must go to! The original one has been around for over 30 years and even the branch offs are amazing! When we went nice staff little to no wait time. And food was brought out quick. Great portions even leftovers.

I had the jr super deluxe wet burrito with chicken as my protein choice. The burrito was everything that I had hoped for. Great sauce, fresh ingredients and tender meat. The service was top notch. I was welcomed with a smile and exceptional customer service. The atmosphere can't be matched. It's located close to the beach, the day was perfect. Not to hot and not to cold. Everyone passing by seemed to be enjoying life. Thank you for a relaxed and peaceful experience while dining in at your restaurant.

Best Carnitas we’ve had, adorable place with outdoor seating and very friendly staff . Ate there 2 days in a row !

We enjoyed it, the food was tasty. Service was good. Took a little bit longer to receive our food than expected. Unfortunately my burrito couldn’t hold together, it started falling apart after the first few bites. But it was tasty. My brothers California Burrito was a bit greasier than we’re used to at Mexican restaurants. I had the Chicken Burrito. Prices are reasonable.

The service was great, very friendly. Clean and nice place. The food was a little underwhelming, though. Under seasoned, got chicken tacos and it was basically a solid chicken breast in a taco. Just interesting vs other Mexican places.

Average Mexican fare. Decent prices. Does not have a full liquor license.

Service with a smile! I enjoyed the outdoor eating area. Our server was positive and great with providing options about the menu. Our food was hot and fresh. There is dinning inside as well as outside. The salsa and chips was tasty. Not salty! A refill of Horchata is delivered fast.

Having grown up with El Terasco in MB I've been going for years and also to the Redondo location. So I had to try this place, large interior space with. A roll up door makes the inside feel like outside, also a patio for outdoor dining.. We came here for dinner and I remember the burritos to be huge, my carnitas burrito was way smaller than other locations... the food wasn't special like in the original location...

The wet burrito was very mediocre. I got the one with chunky beef, thinking it was steak. But it turned out to be shredded beef.

Inauthentic, cheap a.ericanozed Mexican for really high prices. The wait staff is unseasoned to say the least but nice. Had to go inside twice and ask for drinks and service after being told to seat myself. The patrons were absolute trash. Little League parents finished their meal and dinner while the team hung out informally but loudly next to us, not ordering at all. When parents did finish the coach or at least a dad put his butt in my companions face to talk to another parent far away from their table or other open sidewalk oblivious to our existence. Rude people. Bad service but nice. Poor food. Expensive.

Absolutely garbage “Mexican” food. Paid $30 for the worst shrimp fajitas I’ve ever eaten in my whole life. Shrimp had absolutely no flavor or seasoning and was overcooked. The rest of the plate was just as terrible. Stay away from this establishment. Might as well go eat at Baja Sharkeez since they have more authentic Mexican food than the filth served at El Tarasco!

After 2 years of being a client at this location, the food quality went super down, i always go with my mom and sometimes with my family, but this time i asked for a soup and for my mother a pork tamales, the soup has a bad taste and the flavor was like with a lot of limon, to my mom the waitress didn't asked if she wanted with salse or without salse, so i don't know what is going on with the food quality or the waitress's customer service, but it is bad now.

Ground beef in the burritos, sour cream tasted more like yogurt than anything very chunky, the fish tasted like quiona, and the torta was very very greasy none of my party finished there food would rather miguels jr.

I’m a hermosa beach local and go to El-Tarasco often. This branch however is closest to my house and I’m is always served from the same waitress (I won’t state her name here to be nice). Today we couldn’t get much service because she was having a family event at the front of the restaurant. Always terrible service, but today was cherry on top. She did not give me and my partner water the whole time I had my meal. My partner had to go in twice to ask for water and still no service. She gave her other tables water immediately when they sat down without an ask all smiley and giggly. We will never go to this branch ever, the service to even get my check was a hassle. We could’ve walked out and still no service, terrible terrible service. On top of that the food tasted like dry biscuits because my neck was trying hard to not chock on my food.
