El Tarasco

If you are looking for good Mexican food with a great vibe, this is the place to be. Bring your family and friends to El Tarasco located in Archer Heights. I've been coming here since 2016, every time I get something different and Every time I get blow away by how good the food is. The first time i came here i was wondering the neighborhood walking around looking for a place to eat and found this Mexican restaurant around the corner from the park. I walked in and I was welcome by the friendly staff and they sat me right away. I was amazed by the theme of the restaurant, butterflies everywhere and a beautiful mural of the Island of Janitzio right in the entrance, the walls were really fun to look at and every-time i come back i find something new. My order was simple, I order one large Horchata and 3 Al pastor Tacos with everything and let me tell you, it was astonishing with so much flavor. The Horchata was cold and creamy, it's perfect for my tastebuds. The tacos had lots of meat on them and there were so delicious. The salsas had so much taste, the spiciness of the salsa complimented the sweet of the Al pastor tacos. In overall the experience was phenomenal and the prices were average. This is a place i will recommend. If you are looking for something fast and good this is a place to be

I really wanted to like this place, and maybe it's hit or miss and I chose the wrong dish, but I wasn't the most satisfied. The shrimp seemed to be cooked lazily and the sauce was runnier than I'm used to. The only flavor you got was the spice of the salsa. Fries were soggy, but whatever. My husband got a quesadilla, and the good thing is the tortillas are handmade, but this one was SO thick, and didn't look cooked all the way through. That was super disappointing cuz all you can taste is maza.Chips and salsa was good though - nice Smokey taste.Service was ok - she was nice, but not really attentive. We ordered queso fundido and she forgot about it.Would we go back? I honestly don't think so. I don't know if trying a different dish would change my mind/review.

Wow this place is so under rated. I truly am obsessed with the food.It taste home made. The restaurant is also very welcoming and happy. Service is always amazing.The prices are great, you can find breakfast starting at $6, and leave full.The cafe de olla is to die for! Must try it :)They also offer parking in the rear.I love that they have a special menu for lent for us that celebrate.

food isnt fresh. Beans tasted microwaved. Meat is bad quality and sopes are very greasy.

Solid option for authentic good Mexican food at a reasonable price. I came here with my family and got the carne adasa tacos and loved them. Everyone else really enjoyed their food orders as well.

Wow they stepped up there game the food is much better. The salsas are very tasty too. Wow I came and got Barbacoa tacos yum tacos had so much meat and they were delicious. The pozole was not that good but much better and they gave us all of our condiments too.We got complementary calendars they were so nice.

Always amazing food and service. We go here often and sit at the bar. Staff knows us by now and treat us like family. We go once a week during the weekend. Sopes are amazing and huge! Tacos de tripita are fire! But staff is who makes this restaurant amazing! Thank you

This is our neighborhood go to spot-the service has always been great and the food overall is good. Every time we visit, I get the sope de al pastor and a michelada. The servers are amazing ladies, always friendly and welcoming!

I just picked up our dinner and my son's hamburger burned both sides, why give it to us like that !! Come on !!

Food was delicious and plentiful. Service was excellent. Atmosphere was delightfully pleasant. We will come back when we can. We are from the South New Jersey/Philadelphia area. Thank you for a great meal.
