Don’t pass this place up.
Burrito was massive as he11and was as good as it was big😋
Got the California burrito with carnitas. It was very good, but not the best I’ve had (more fries and flavor of meat would seal the deal).
Deluxe wet burrito with chicken was alright.
Salsa and chips were fantastic.
Good price.

El Tarasco on Rosecrans is an old-school, no-frills Mexican counter a few blocks from the beach. The food is solid, delicious, and satisfying, with massive, affordable portions packed with flavor. Menu highlights include the best hard shell fried chicken taco, the super deluxe burrito with red sauce, the junior burrito deluxe, carne asada tacos, and the wet carnitas burrito or carnitas plate. Be sure to try their habanero salsa, guacamole, and extra pico.
The vibe is genuine and perfect, with counter-style service and bar stools. The staff works fast with quick, no-fuss, and friendly service. It is a perfect stop for lunch, dinner, or post-beach and late-night cravings, open late after surfing or biking. While parking and seating are not so good, it remains a worth-it, inexpensive spot that never disappoints.
