“Are you in for a perfect day? El tarasco is just two blocks from the Pacific Ocean. Go for a dip in the waves and go support
an establishment that’s been open since 1965 and known for their good prices, generous portions and juicy burritos. It feels like a diner - bar top open kitchen, stools surrounded by stickers and signed photos of celebrities such as George Lopez. My boyfriend described it as Chicano style with their fresh cheddar cheese, shredded lettuce, guacamole and gratis freshly fried corn tostadas and delicious cantina style salsa. I got a crunchy chicken taco and a fish taco. While my boyfriend got a bean and cheese burrito. He said it was the best bean and cheese burrito of his life.
Some little surfer dudes came in and were all ordering the carne asada burritos. They were going to get it to go… but truly the vibes are so strong inside you want to stay.
Service was 10/5.
Will be back!!!“

“We stopped in hoping for a good, quick bite between Redondo beach and our Airbnb in Culver City and this was just right. The portions are big and everything we tried was delicious. The chips and salsa were perfect! I had the grilled mahi mahi tacos and my husband ate the carne asada. Our kids enjoyed their cheese quesadilla, cheese enchiladas and Shirley Temples. Our waitress was friendly and our food came out quick. The house margarita was also just like I like them, not too strong and not too sour. Great place for good food and quality service. The parking lot is small and shared with Baskin Robbin’s but since we were there in off peak time we were able to park in the lot.“
