Recensioni di El Tarasco Redondo Beach
Super good. More of an alternative to Riviera Mexican Grill than Casa Playa, even though they don't have a full liquor license. We stopped going to RMG when they stopped allowing dogs (why go anywhere in the area besides Ortega if you are dogless) and I'm super happy to have discovered this place. I highly recommend the adobada in whatever vessel you prefer (enchiladas are my jam, but the tacos looked good too). Easy to find a table, typically. Has a small patio for dog ppl. Serves draft beer and faux-ritas (alcoholic, but not tequila) on said patio.
Small friendly atmosphere, staff was very nice and attentive. Food was wonderful. I had time chicken green chiles enchiladas, so good.
Love this place! Great food! Hot and quick. Generous with chips and salsa. Great salsa! Thank you. The bathrooms are CLEAN and large. Love this place!!!!
I love el tarasco I been eating at the Manhattan beach location my entire life for 29 years now and I recently started working in the south Redondo beach area and they are just great everything on the menu is perfect and the staff is lovely !
So good. Got 10 chicken tacos, chips and salsa/ guac. A margarita. All under 25$ yum.
Always a solid place. Good food good service they've kept their prices within pretty close to normal all through covid. This is our go-to
Always great food, Great salsa! One of our family favs. We always come back for more. The kids love it too.
Love the tacos; each taco seems to be pan fried to perfection, somewhere between soft and hard. I ddrop in to order a large guacamole and a large salsa to go, for parties at home, it's always a crowd pleaser!
Excellent service. Real authentic mexican food. I had ordered a big order and they we're able to accommodate me. The food was delicious and everyone enjoyed it. Thanks again for the great service and amazing food.
Okay, I barely give 5 stars but this one is the real deal. Until today, taco way on sunset Blvd was my favorite but el tarasco has taken the number one spot now. The best veggie burrito until today. Man, gone are those days when I use to like chipotle.
Love this place; breakfast burrito and carnitas burrito hit the spot for us! The orders were generously sized and came with lots of chips and delicious salsa. Service was fast and friendly too!
The Wet Burrito was popular by all that are with me. I did like the Dry Carne Asada Burrito. Very tasty. The Flan was surprisingly good. Great job.
I’m going to go with five stars. Is there really did a good job on the many times we have been here. Good food and good people here. You should try it out.
Best taco Tuesday special three tacos with rice and beans and a drink for 13 bucks or three tacos for 10 Great salsa and great chips. Fast and delicious! I's my favorite Mexican restaurant!
The seating is comfortable with views of all the TV screens from any seat. The dishes are served in decent portions. It is an enjoyable atmosphere.
Food is Delicious! Chicken hard shell tacos are the brst, best beans in town, Waitress Jess is the best! very nice and fun to talk to.
The service was good, and the good was awesome and hot She was friendly and k ew when to walk up for drink refills and if we needed anything else Great service
SO amazing!!! Loved the food and the chips are huge! They gave me and my friend a free sticker too! It's right near the beach and the service is fantastic 😁😁
Great experience every time I eat here. The food is fresh and tasty. The folks working there are friendly and helpful. I will definitely eat from here again.
Fantastic food, great prices, and they had a small, but mighty vegetarian section. It also seemed they've remodeled recently, and the ambiance was delightful.
My mother In law LOVES El Tarasco. Whenever we are in town we go to this establishment. It NEVER disappoints. Really good food. This is the only Mexican sit down place that has flavor in their food. They are so friendly and accommodating. Thank you!
Best Mexican food in the South Bay!
This place is amazing!!!! You can tell they use quality meat. The carne asada plate is my favorite and the guacamole and homemade salsa are the best. The owners are always nice and go out of their way to make you happy. I come here frequently because I know it will always be delicious.
Food always arrives hot and promptly, very authentic, great affordable beer pitchers. I'm a big fan of their chilli and tamales. Free chips and salsa, great atmosphere. My favorite Mexican joint period.
Yummy yummy yummy Late night favorite of mine. The Chili Reano is FANTASTIC My dinner friend always orders the carnitas. Wait staff are serious about getting your food together and delivered before a hint of moisture escapes. Good location with street parking or lot in the back. Reasonable prices.
I love their taco salad,with chunky beef.sometimes we sit outside with our dog, they bring him water and are very accepting of him.just a nice place to eat .Good food , nice people, what more could you ask! update : no longer allow dogs.
They make the best hard shell chicken tacos anywhere. And the salsa is the best around hands down and they got good beans and the guacamole is not bad either that with a beer you're all set to enjoy!
Love this place! Have had the albondigas soup and the taquitos plate and both were on point. Also, if you like spicy salsa, ask for the spicy one. It does not disappoint!
The best & only dish I've had here isn't a dish at all. It's a Burrito & one of the best you'll ever eat in Redondo Beach. Its simply called the Taco Burrito. It's exactly what it says it is, its taco filling rapped up in a flour tortilla. I always get one w Shredded Beef. I've nvr tried anything else but that & you can get it in your choice of meat but I recommend the shredded beef. Trust me on this, your gonna luv it...
Not to many restaurants where I like all the food, but this is one of the exceptions. I'm hooked on #15 steak green chilli plate w/extra guacamole and a flour tortilla. No fork necessary. The chips and salsa are excellent and the perfect compliment.
El torascos Mexican food this is a place that is extremely friendly and also gives you large portions of food and they never left your table empty if you were out of chips or dip there on top of it I’ve been eating here with my family and on my own of course for 21 years we love the staff very much we actually Have a longer hello greeting then usual we get to sit anywhere we want everybody does and then here comes the food be prepared because it’s very very delicious when we talked about going out for Mexican food which there are many in my area nobody answers we just go straight to el torascos and have a wonderful meal. Thank you to everybody that works there as well as the owners
The quality of the food was very good indeed. The decor was pleasantly air conditioned, with good quality furniture. The food was plentiful and any eggs or other dishes that you wanted were cooked freshly for you. Value for money here.
Excellent food and service. Check it out if you're in town!
Ordered the green Chile plate. Great as always. we had a party of 9 and the server handled it great. No matter the location, always enjoy this restaurant.
Love their food & service. Music is too loud
WOWSERS! AMAZING FLAVOR! 5 STARS! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! I am from LA, and I've been eating burritos and Mexican food since day 1. I'm almost 50. I've seen the progression of lunch trucks, small restaurants, and Mexican food on a 'commercial' level to the masses since the 80's.. We printed some banners for Richie for marketing, and to show us his gratitude; he hooked up some "wet" burritos... I was not expecting so MUCH FLAVOR PACKED INTO A BURRITO!! WOWSERS! I MEAN.. WOWSERS.. let me tell you... the flavors IN THE RED SAUCE.. most places are buying canned goods.. but the DELICIOUS TANGY SWEET TOMATO SAUCE WAS AMAZING!!! DEFINITELY HOME MADE.. PERFECTLY SEASONED!!.. The STEAK!!! Most places; their meat is over seasoned with cheap salts.. the steak is OILY OR watery with from the steam sitting around all day.... OR; stale taste from freezing the meat..... but THE STEAK!!! IT WAS PERFECTLY SEASONED.. PERFECTLY CUT STRIPS!!!!.. PERFECTLY COOKED! IT TASTES LIKES CARNE ASADA.. WOWSERS.. IT WAS AMAZING.. also, THEY DON'T DO CHIPS! THEY FRY THE TORTILLAS AND GIVE YOU WHOLE TORTILLAS.. perfectly fried.. not oily... crisp, fresh, DELICIOUS!! WITH FRESH MADE SALSA FOR THE DIP!! TRULY IMPRESSED... THE REFRIED BEANS ARE DELICIOUS!! YOU CAN NOT GO WRONG WITH EL TARASCO... THIS MEXICAN FOOD IS AMAZING AN DELICIOUS!!! 5 STARS!
So, I been ordering from here for awhile can remember how long but I’m ok with that because I’m happy to just eat here 😊 And not long ago I took my mom, dad and some friends to eat here and they loved it my mom actually said that she loved the tacos on taco Tuesday night special order! I only eat Carne Asada fries and the tortilla quesadilla with cheese and carne asada from here so, I have never tried something else ops. My mom said they are better than that place called El Indio between Carson St and Sepulveda Street on Western Ave. she told me that the tacos are more fresh and soft. She ordered Fish tacos and barbacoa. One item that wasn’t that good anymore was the tostadas but, I understand why they were about to close in 30 minutes better to get tostadas in the day time not when it’s almost time to closing time. I ordered carne asada fries that night and they were delicious yum 🤤 thank you!
The Peeps here are awesome. Chicken soup is my favorite 😍 Love to take a jog at the beach, two blocks down the street. I would definitely recommend this place to my friends & family.
Great carnitas, this has been our go-to for that dish for years. Chili relleno was also delicious. Nice table in the large dining room by the window very comfortable and light. Hard working staff.
Chicken enchilada plate with rice and beans, and a Corona, please! That's my go-to here. Edit: I've been coming here for years now and it's the same consistent awesomeness! The staff does a great job. The salsa here is amazing, worth a visit by itself lol! I've enjoyed the street tacos on Taco Tuesday many times, but I always find myself circling back to the chicken enchiladas, just my favorite thing. There's a reason they have multiple successful locations for so long now. El Tarasco rocks!
We ate @ El Tarasco this past Sunday. We were welcomed with a warm greeting by the waitress. I started off with some ceviche (which was delicious and filling it's a must). And shrimp tacos that hit the spot. After walk down to the beach. Great location. Can't wait to go back.
El Tarasco has been one of my regular spots for years. Wife loves the spicy shrimp tacos but I stick with the Super Deluxe burrito. Endless chips and some of the best salsa I have tasted. Love this place!
On the spot review. Best breakfast burrito in the Southern California region I’ve had. Service was great atmosphere is chill and your by the beach so that’s a plus. Would recommend to a friend. Honorable mention the salsa was on point dine in!
We just arrived in Torrance and had the good fortune of finding El Tarasco. My chili relleno plate was perfect. Her enchiladas was excellent!!
Best Mexican food in all of South Bay. Chips are made fresh daily along with the salsa. Have not ordered a single thing from the menu I have not liked. Favorites are the burritos and tacos. The prices are competitive and lunch specials are great. Service is fast and helpful. Fun ambiance.
This was a nice local Mexican restaurant with very fast service and good food. It was a kid friendly atmosphere and we all enjoyed the giant circle chips. The guac was good and drinks priced very well. We will be going back soon!
Their street tacos are really good, the carne asada is cooked to perfection. The staff is really friendly and the service is always great. They also have a good selection of beer on tap to compliment the tacos.

not only did the food come out quick and hot, it's was DELICIOUS! totally recommend this please for anyone looking for excellent Mexican food.
I have been coming here for about 10 years even when I was living in Long Beach! I now live and few blocks away and love knowing I have an amazing Mexican place i can walk to.
Best tacos, and great $5 margarita on Taco Tuesday. I bring my out of town guests here and they live it.
Staff are really nice and the food is excellent. Taco Tuesday is great!
My husband and I came in for dinner on December 8 around 5pm. We haven't been here probably in over 10 years. We were waited on by 2 ladies, ordered asada fries, chicken taco n taquitos and of course a bucket of beer. Everything was AWESOME! The restaurant vibe was cool, 5 different TV all playing something for everyone. I enjoyed watching the animal Channel. :) I can't remember why we stopped coming here but will definitely be back again. Thank You for a amazing service and food!!
I grew up eating at El Tarasco, and it’s been my favorite restaurant for as long as I can remember. Even after moving down to South Orange County, I still stop by any time I’m anywhere near the area, and honestly, I’ve made the full hour drive more than once just for the food. It’s that good. The food at El Tarasco tastes like home. Every bite feels comforting, flavorful, and consistently amazing. They’ve managed to keep that same taste and quality year after year, which is rare these days. But what makes El Tarasco truly special isn’t just the food, it’s the people. They treat you like family from the moment you walk in. And it’s not just because I’ve been coming here my whole life. That’s how they treat everyone. The amount of people I see on a first name basis with the staff blows my mind. No matter the time of day, when you walk in, the energy is always warm, welcoming, and full of life. And every time I leave, I’m in a better mood than when I walked in. Everything about this place…the food (Crispy Tacos & Jr Super Deluxe - Asada) , the people, the atmosphere, just makes you feel good.El Tarasco will always be more than a restaurant to me. It’s my happy place, and no matter where I live, it’ll always feel like home.
One of my favorite Mexican restaurants of all time!! I recently had it for my brother’s birthday and it tasted just as good as I remembered if not better! The chicken enchiladas are so good and so are their tacos 🌮 🔥 Everything on their menu is delicious!! can’t go wrong with the margaritas too 😋

Very good! And have enjoyed mexican in five countries and 40 states. This is very good and reasonable pricing! If I lived in California, this would be one of my favorite repeat restrurants! Weekly! Go! Its pretty damn good!
Erica was awesome waitress. I had a potato Taco & Coke. Taco was ok, nothing spectacular. Chips & salsa was good, too. Coke was nice & cold. Good service.
My primary go to in Redondo Beach - F avenue / PCH location - pick up orders usually ready in under 15 minutes
This place has great food and drinks. It is extremely kid friendly. They even have a kid play area inside of the restaurant. It isn't a ball bounce, but TV and coloring books and blocks.
Sonora style Mexican food. Nothing fancy here, but good sized portions, reasonable prices $$, good variety of choices, bottomless chips and tasty food. Family run business. Wait staff are always friendly & accommodating. No reservations required, but sometimes you have to wait a few minutes to be seated. This restaurant is also popular with several area youth sports teams who take over the rear room on a regular basis after games or tournaments, but the restaurant staff seems to have become used to the increased patron load which generally doesn't significantly slow down service to the rest of the restaurant patrons. Ample parking is available on the front street (PCH) or in the large parking lot to the rear... can access via rear entry.
Carry out this trip. Roommate consumed the Chilli Releno and sides. Very nice as it is difficult to enjoy restaurant prepared at home. Great job! Only 1 concern 😟 access for a person with limited mobility is a disgrace. Extreme downhill slant in parking lot with deep downhill to reach PCH, where the entrance is located. Truly not accessible for handicapped patrons.
When I first walked in the dinning area looked smaller than expected but they have 2 dinning rooms with booths or tables which was really pleasant. The service was good, our food was brought in a timly manner and the people serving us were very nice. The food was much better than I thought it was going to be. I had a carne asada wet burrito, the meat was flavourful and tender and the sauce had a little kick. Overall a good experience, would go back again
We ordered breakfast on a Saturday. The waitress/waiter was great! Very friendly and personable. Street parking was good. Latin music made the atmosphere feel authentic. (I love hearing music corresponding to the cultural cuisine) The food was very good!
El tarasco bas been my favorite Mexican food since their first restaurant opened in manhattan beach. They’ve had some growing pains, and although the food was good in Redondo beach, it wasn’t as good - it was also barely warm. They can do better.
I enjoyed the food We had smothered burritos and they were giant. We had carnitas and some kind of beef proteins. The rice and beans were excellent. I would highly recommend that cheese and bean burrito as a side... Yummy They provide fresh fried tortillas but there's no getting around the cilantro in the salsa so that could not try it. I would recommend this place for affordable Mexican food.
This is a good neighborhood place and my friend has many memories from here. The taco was a bit weak tasting for carnitas, but the corn tortilla was delicious! Thanks Nansea for the treat!
Nice place to get some good Mexican food and watch the game. They have several large tv's in the dining area. And if you're thirsty, definitely the place to go. Their cups are ginormous. I tried to capture it in the picture, but you'd have to see it for yourself lol
The food was delicious. Hadn't been in a while. Tadted like I remembered it.

Burrito carne asada was served cold in the burritto. Not sure why. Probably need to ask to make sure meat is reheated. I like a hot burritto, not served cold meat. Ill try it again sometime, could have just been a bad day
I got the Sunday special. I was told that it was only a $2 up charge for the carne asada and instead they charged me an extra $5. They would not lower the price so that's why I'm giving this review. Very overpriced restaurant. They also don't take American Express which is very inconvenient for vacationers.
I have been a regular here for 20 years and unfortunately, the food has gone down hill and the prices keep going up.When dining in, the service isn't great. If you get anything to go, you can expect your food to be luke warm
the food used to be amazing, the flavors we delish. we've been a little disappointed the last couple visits
Very nice and friendly service. Nice parking lot in the back. But the tortilla chips were REALLY greasy. And the salsa was a bit too spicy for my taste. I wish they had a milder option. I liked how they had a grilled fish burrito, but the pollock was kind of fishy smelling and didn’t seem very fresh. Portions were gigantic at $11. The burrito itself was a bit bland without the salsa, but then I could barely stomach the salsa because it was too spicy. They gave a generous large cup of the salsa though. The breakfast burrito was tasty but very salty from the bacon and sausage and cheese.

Good food. Bad service. Seems they're chronically understaffed. The people who do work there are nice and are always hustling. Seems like they may be overwhelmed and it takes a long time to get anything. That's both for dine in and takeout. I was left in hold for almost 10 minutes recently and decided to go in. They had put the phone down and forgot to get back to me. Iwanted to order one of their daily specials that are not available on any food delivery app. The cashier looked at the handset and hung up my call after I asked if the phone were down. Worth the visit. Keep in mind time will not be on your side.
I went to El Tarasco with a friend who eats there whenever he's in town, but I wasn't impressed. I had the #21 combo. The tamale was dry but the chicken taco was passable. Overall, the food was average Mexican fare. It was noisy and there was no real ambience.
The drinks always taste like soap. The service was horrible! Last time we were there we had to go get our credit card cause the waitress didn't bring it back.
If you want to go to an El Tarasco with a better cook, go to the one on Western near PCH.....the quality was much better! I was disappointed here, $8 for a chili rellano? A chili....with a little cheese, an egg, and a little sauce.....not even Red Onion charges that much!!!
Quality not acceptable Service not so great. Everytime we have been there the bill seems to have different things (more expensive) than what we ordered. Chairs have holes and were dirty. I think we're done going there So sorry since this restaurant is walking distance from home.
Usually love this place but today had trouble finding the meager amount of meat in the burrito, waitress was missing in action. No offer to refill drink. I'll be back but if today was my first time here I would not be back.
Waited over half an hour for my family to get chips and drinks and we had to chase down waitress to get those. Table was sticky and gross and food wasn’t very good. The waitress wasn’t very friendly and we didn’t feel welcomed. I used to love eating here but never again.
My chili relleno burrito had a 2 inch square of Poblano chili. Very disappointed. The server was not interested in us...
My family and I are always hesitant to come to this location and it always comes down to the customer service. Don’t get us wrong the food is good, but todays experience was unpleasant because of the customer service. We orders two tortas and two chicken enchiladas, they brought the two orders of enchiladas and at that time they told us that they didn’t have the bread for the tortas. They should have told us in the beginning so we would’ve ordered something else, but no. We had to wait until they made our other dishes. So half of our table had food and the other half didn’t. This is not good. And this is why we always think twice before eating at el tarasco, do better.
I was eating here and the chicken wings were non edible, the ranch was watery and Sriracha was used for the buffalo sauce. They used old oil for fries and chips. I wouldn’t recommend this place

Not sure what happened to El Torasco but it has changed, and not for the better. My experience goes way back with ET, and it use to be good food and a good value, but not any more. I just brought home a LARGE Ground Beef Tostada. It's NOT large, at all. In fact it is exactly 7" Rd. and there is NO Beef. But there is .40 cents worth of lettuce whiich is a good deal, considering they charged me $10.00. In addition, the waitress's are not friendly, seemingly not happy. Thus, poor service and a bad tostada. Doubt I will ever return.
Bad add service ! Sat for 22 min, after giving our orders ! Watch other customers get their orders and still no service. I might go back but my lady will die first. Machaka is great.! Other location was great. Just saying !
Rude...Thoroughly disorganized....The guy at the counter has no idea of taking orders and getting them done in a organized manner. Has no respect for others time. I would stay away from this kind of service....I am sure there are other Mexican food places that treat you better and appreciate your business.
Did not get my order right! I ordered 2 #17’s, one with all rice and the other with rice & beans and I wanted the tacos crispy. I opened the bag and sauce was spilled all over the chips, both orders had all rice and the tacos were soggy!! When you order tacos to go open the bag and make sure they’re crispy. When I called to complain they said their tacos get soggy on your way driving home. They didn’t look like they were fried at all. I used to come here a lot before COVID. I ordered the same order 2 weeks ago and they came the same way. I thought it was a fluke so I ordered again Must be new owners. They can’t make crispy tacos!!
There is one old lady cashier, I haven’t seen any person in my entire life that will be even close to this one, she is the most unfriendly person I ever seen! What do you think, is there any one in this world who wants to go to the restaurant to see unfriendly cashier? I don’t think so!! She should not work with people!
I went in there twice, went there when it was busy and went when it was slow. Neither was a good time Service is terrible, once they give you your food they feel their job is done. You won't see them again untill you flag them down for the bill. Don't expect refills and make your napkins last......its all you get. Food is terrible, plate presentation is a sloppy mess and they are skimpy on the cheese and fresh tomatoes but load you up with plenty of lettuce and watery sauces. Makes the plate a soupy and soggy mess even when I ordered Tostadas, traditionally a crunchy dish. Plan to eat your tostadas with a spoon here. Guacamole is not mashed its blended and thin, and cost $5! Both times I had stomach aches most of the night afterwards. Not sure they are handling the food safely.
We were billed extra for our meal and drinks. They brought the wrong food and upcharged us after confirming what we wanted. Will not go here again. Not a trustworthy business. There are many better and legitimate mexican restaurants in the area.
The carnitas and steak plates I ordered were dry and old. I was disappointed, knowing very well what carnitas should taste like. I was beyond disappointed. They should have thrown away those old carnitas and made new ones. You can't charge full price for old food. The quality has gone down and the waiting time for two plates and only two people ahead of me was ridiculous. I waited 25 minutes unacceptable, regardless of the Covid-19 going on. I'm done with that Tarasco on PCH!
Worse business ever!!! Worker by the name of Ricardo is rude, slacks off, doesn’t pay attention to customers or orders placed online. Makes people wait almost an hour for their orders to be ready. He always looks miserable being at this place of work and makes the entire business look so bad. He also makes a lot of customers that are waiting forever for online orders to be made and deliver cancel. Which is wrong for business. Unbelievable management should look to hire people that want to work and that make their business look better.
Horrible in every possible way. First: RUDE STAFF! At the counter, a rude lady maybe the owner, she’s possibly the worst! But the same a short guy working in the evening. Unpleasant with costumers and we noticed even worse attitude with delivery drivers. Place is dirty, food is low quality and needlessly fat and oily, even the nachos! Go somewhere else, there are much better choices around the area.
I went to this restaurant with my family and they took for ever to sirve out food . My tacos dorados were burn and the salsa from a can . Worst Mexican restaurant we visited. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS RESTAURANT AT ALL !!!!
It's a shame the food is good because the service is a joke. Don't bother calling ahead, just sat in line for 35 minutes behind people who haven't called in/ordered yet so my food was cold. You might as well order there if you want your food to be warm or good. They also waited until after they charged me to tell me the cost (which he rang up wrong) and put my drink in a salsa container because they didn't have cups. Normally like the place but the service is careless and sloppy.
Apparently speaking Spanish is frowned upon despite the fact that my first language is Spanish and I couldn't look anymore Mexican. Here is pic of my $18.00 burrito ! Really ?! It was tiny and subpar on taste. My thumb is included for reference size. Avoid this spot if your seeking good Mexican food.
The worst fish tacos I have ever had in my life. It was mushy, not fresh, no flavor, and they burnt it.
Disappointed with el Tarasco as I really enjoyed the times I have come here to eat. On Wednesday July 30, my boyfriend and I walked in at 8:30; mind you their posted hours claim they close at 9 pm. I greeted the lady who was at the front and told her I would like a table for two, to my surprise she says Togo only. I’m a bit confused and perplexed as their hours say they close at 9 pm, it’s 8:30 and I see a few tables eating at that very moment. Whatever, I suck it up as I really enjoy their bean and cheese burritos, but then I think do I really want to pour money into a business that clearly does not want it as they were not willing to service us as dine in customers even though as I said there were guests eating in the dining area. I leave because if I wanted to take my food for Togo I wouldn’t have asked for a table. I think it’s a really bad look for your business if you’re basically pushing away PAYING customers because you don’t want to have to stay longer/ work longer or whatever the case may be, I too work in a restaurant and it is our policy to service ANYONE who walks in right up until the minute we close. If you only do full service until 30 minutes before close time, you should put that on your page/website so that way people will have the option to look elsewhere for a full service meal.
