El Tarasco is an authentic Mexican restaurant known for its unique atmosphere and delicious food. The menu features well-made tacos, such as the marinated pork tacos, and enormous, flavorful burritos. The Al Pastor tacos, made directly from the trompo, are a standout item. While the portions are generous, the restaurant has some drawbacks, including a cash-only policy and a lack of attention to cleanliness. Despite these issues, the food is delicious, and the ambiance is authentic, although it may be intimidating for non-Mexican or Latino American visitors. The restaurant has plenty of parking space, including for oversized vehicles, and is wheelchair accessible.
The restaurant is known for its El Pastor, and customers have praised the tender and juicy pork. The decor is casual and a little old, but customers appreciate the charm. The staff is friendly, and the atmosphere is welcoming. Customers have described the carne asada as "bomb," with a great grilled taste and a homemade, fresh, and truly authentic feel. The restaurant is a "hole in the wall" and not very nice, but the Al Pastor tacos are said to be really good.
