El Tarasco (Rosecrans) Reviews
Always enjoyed this place but after tonight i will never go back. Next time you eat her look closely at your reciept. The automatically charge a tip with your bill without telling which is very dishonest. I had always liked this place, but no more, Their scam is this when its time to pay their manager will automatically add a tip of 21 percent without asking you. They will then say its programmed in the system. So if you want to get ripped off eat here.

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.
