“Food was great! Unfortunately they were out of refried beans but i can't hold that against them as they gave me 4 sides instead of 2 to make up for it! Crazy. Very generous portions of delicious food. The mexican fried potatos were not my favorite but they were made well. Would recommend this place to anyone looking for high quality mexican food. Service was excellent, refills of chips, salsa, and drinks were fast and they checked on us often. One of my favorite mexican restaurants of all time!“

“10/10 The best friendly atmosphere Relaxing Great customer service Fresh food with in mins The Dodgers game was on I really enjoyed the restaurant I will recommend this to my friends and family please visit and enjoy The best in months“

“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.“

“Their "Ricardo's Super Burrito" is the best! I order it wet style with enchilada sauce and melted cheese on top. They also include chips and salsa with the order. Delicious!“

“Love the service and food. A true gem in the south bay.“

“chiles tellenos and mole negro👌👌👌“

“Friendly staff, tasty food. A staple of the South Bay.“

“Tried this place for the first time, I couldn’t decide between the torta and the chimichanga so I got both. Shredded beef chimichanga and chicken torta. Chicken was white meat and juicy, but a bit bland. Needed some salt and pepper, but for some reason I find shredded chicken bland at a lot of Mexican restaurants (maybe just me). Other than that, food was great! Called in order and picked up, cash only! Friendly service, will definitely be back. In total, this was like $26 but it’s enough for 3 people. Small seating area, I would not recommend dine in for more than 2 people“

“Muy limpio buen servicio al cliente y el menudo y café muy rico.“

“Mercado Manhattan Beach: A Review That’s 90% Enthusiasm, 10% Queso Coma

I walked into Mercado Manhattan Beach expecting solid tacos and left questioning whether I’d just experienced peak human achievement or simply overdosed on crema. The answer, it turns out, is both.

Let’s start with the star of the show: the Al Pastor Tacos. These little corn-tortilla miracles arrive looking like they’ve been drizzled by a hyperactive Jackson Pollock who only owns green paint and a grudge against restraint. The pork is shaved so thin it’s basically prosciutto’s tropical cousin, caramelized toueto edges that taste like someone figured out how to bottle campfire. Then they hit it with pineapple that somehow manages to be both sweet and aggressively tangy—like if piña colada grew up and started doing CrossFit. Topped with onions, cilantro, and enough green sauce to power a small salsa cartel. One bite and I actually whispered “dios mío” unironically. My dining companion heard me and nodded solemnly, as if we’d just witnessed a religious event.

Up next: the Queso Fundido, which should come with a warning label and a waiver. This is not “cheese dip.” This is molten queso Oaxaca doing its best impersonation of a lava flow in a cute little bowl. Chorizo chunks bob around like spicy little life rafts. You will attempt to be civilized with the provided tortillas. You will fail. You will resort to spoon. You will consider bathing in it. The waiter will pretend not to notice when you guard the bowl like Gollum with the One Ring.

And then, because apparently we hate ourselves, we ordered the Flautas de Pollo. Picture taquito’s fancy older sister who went to culinary school in Guadalajara and came back with strong opinions about presentation. Perfectly rolled, fried to a shattering crisp, then piled so high with lettuce, crema, queso fresco, and pico that it looks like a edible Jenga tower. One wrong move and you’re wearing half of it. Worth it.

Service was the kind of attentive that makes you feel mildly famous—like the staff genuinely wants you to have the best night of your life, and they’re willing to sprint for extra limes to make it happen. Cocktails are dangerously good (the mezcal situation is reckless), and the patio is prime South Bay people-watching real estate.

Only complaint: portions are aggressively generous, which feels like a trap. I left in what can only be described as a full-body food hug, waddling to my car while mentally drafting my will to leave everything to Mercado.

10/10, would sell my soul for more of that green sauce. Bring stretchy pants and zero shame.“

“This is one of our favorite spots in the south bay! We love it so much we actually had our wedding reception at the rooftop. Food and service are always great and Andrew has been fantastic at taking care of our guests on our wedding day. Love their Iris Azul, El Pistachio and all the mezcal drinks. As for food - die for tortillas and decadent Chimichangas!“

“Great service and good quick food! Will definitely be back!“

“CH y Birria was absolutely delicious! The birria was flavorful, tender, and perfectly seasoned. Every bite had that rich, savory taste you hope for. On top of that, the service was excellent—friendly, fast, and welcoming from start to finish. Highly recommend if you’re craving authentic and satisfying birria. I’ll definitely be coming back! 10/10“

“Riquísima comida y excelente atención“

“This place has the best burrito I’ve had in my life 🤩

The food is really incredible! 🤩🥰

Service staff are sweet but they did give us the wrong check and mixed up our drink order. I’d 100% come back again for that food!“

“Beef tongue burritos, taco are the best in Mexican restaurant and salsa bar too“

“Food and service was awesome! I had fajitas combo with chicken beef and shrimp. A lot of peppers onions and tomatoes on a sizzling skillet. \nBeans and rice were seasoned to perfection!\nMy wife had a taco salad. Served in a baked tortilla bowl. It was so big we could have split it.\nI recommend green onion for a wonderful meal“

“Hechas con los mejores ingredientes orgánicos toda la variedad de especies hacen un sabor exquisito y delicioso“

“Came because we love the Baran’s breakfast burrito, but their lunch menu is just as fantastic. Tried the Cali burrito with carne asada and the jerk chicken taco and both were a 10/10. Perfect spice level and the salsa was killer too. Will be back!“

“First time eating there a will most definitely go back. The flavors were delicious! It was mom was cooking“

“Great Food Chicken tacos and beans and cheese burritos and Chicken burritos and Horochatos with Coke I went back twice to enjoy Rosa's La Cabana Great smile,customer service,environment, Great price“
