El Tarasco Mexican Food

There is nothing better than el Tarasco, rosecrans Manhattan beach. I come back to socal twice a year to visit family and we never go back without stopping here. The chicken (hard shell fried) taco is the best in the world... make sure to order a side of guacamole, their habenero salsa and cheese quesadilla. If u want to branch out carne asada tacos or the junior burrito deluxe.. ,ant go wrong. Sitting at bar stools 300 feet from the beach at a genuine taco stand that's out of this world checks all the boxes. Bring your appetite morning or late night.

Stopped for dinner at El Tarascó before flying out of LAX. Everything was delicious!! Would definitely recommend to anyone in the area. Service was quick and all of the employees were friendly and welcoming. Prices are fair and portions are huge! Vibes were perfect, with counter style service and great music

Old-school Mexican counter with solid burritos and salsas. The staff works fast and portions are big. I like the carnitas plate with extra pico. They’re open late enough for post-beach cravings. Nothing fancy—just satisfying
