El Tarasco is a Mexican establishment in the south end of Lousiville Kentucky off of new cut road. Me and the whole family stopped in here for lunch the other day. The inside is very colorful and vibrantly decorated. A bit on the smaller side but it has a nice vibe. We were able to sit down immediately and received pretty good service. Food came out hot and fast so no complaints there. You do get complimentary chips and salsa which is always a much appreciated expectation I have when eating Mexican. There chips and salsa has a real nice flavor to them too. Very good. For our orders i personally got the Burritos Gigante. It was as the name suggests a giant burrito smothered in queso. The queso was very thin and didn't have much flavor. Wish it was a bit thicker and prominent. But it was more like a brown gravy type texture. The burrito was solid. Had a lot of beef in it and not much else. The beef actually overwhelmed the very thin queso and made it a bit overpowering. My wife got the Burrito Deluxe and said it was Really good and had solid flavor and filled her appetite. My two middle daughters got the kids pizza and said they was just ok. But you don't really expect much from a kids pizza at a Mexican establishment. My oldest got the steak street tacos and said they was just average. She ate about 2/3rds of them before throwing in the towel. Said they were slightly bland but overall she enjoyed them. Overall a nice little establishment with a nice sized menu, good vibes and good service based off our visit. I would be willing to return. I'd probably try the enchiladas supremas or quesadilla next time if so.

Don't let the sign out front full you. Even though this is a chain, this is one of the best mexican restaurants in South Louisville. Their queso fundido with Chorizo was PHENOMINAL. The wait staff was beyond courteous and even went out of their way to engage in a conversation. I would highly recommend.

I had never been here before Sunday which is weird since it's practically in my backyard. The place is tiny but that's OK since it's definitely better than the larger places like El Nopal.The chips were hot and fresh and the salsa was yummy and spicy.My seafood chimichanga was really tasty and I enjoyed the beans, too.I'll be back!

Typical Mexican restaurant, like many others. This one is very small and located across the street from an El Nopal so it's not very busy. But great daily and lunch specials on food and drinks! Today was 2 for 1 margaritas. Chips and salsa are great! Lunch menu is unbeatable for an inexpensive meal. They also have a lunch reward card, ask for one! They are usually in the Val PAC coupons mailed to your home. The service is SUPER fast!Waiter was not super friendly, but order was correct and fast! My favorite is the chile relleno, best in town!!

Was craving Mexican food so I stopped in, I left still craving Mexican food :(I ordered the 5 enchiladas, the food came out quick but I felt like the enchiladas were super tiny and I was skimped out on the meat. The mole like sauce they poured on top was runny and watery. The salsa was really runny as well, you couldn't even scoop salsa it was so watery. Might've as well have dipped the chips into water!On top of that, the $2 margaritas had hardly any alcohol. I mean, at least I didn't taste any.

I only visited this place once before like 5 years ago and it was something to remember cause i learned what a hot plate was burning the memory of that place into my head but what i remembered was that one of the things i had from there was amazing but it was like a faded memory so when me and buddies decided to go out to eat i pitched going here and we all ordered the same thing Gigante Burrito with the power punching cheese drenched over it and it was just absolutely amazing it was literally Gigante weird eating a burrito with a knife and fork but it was worth it in the end cause i left wanting more.
