Taqueria El Tarasco

The veggie burrito, although cheap, didn't have much taste in it. I asked for avocado and they gave pretty little. The two sauces I got were pretty small and way too spicy so I ended up just using salsa instead.

Bought a gotta and 2 tacos of carne asada with some green sauce, to go.Both were very good, the meat was trimmed and seasoned nicely, which seems to be a hit or miss, here in Portland. I will definitely come back and recommend. They don't have aguas frescas so you can order an horchata but they have sodas and other drinks, which is fine.

I go here for lunch at least once a week for carne asada and pastor burritos. They're always great. Pastor comes with pineapple. Burritos are meat heavy but all ingredients have a nice fresh flavor. The green, red, and habanero salsas each have strong, individual flavors that aren't watered down. The red is often very spicy which I love. The man and woman who work here are always very fast, polite and friendly.

They like to make em tasty at this feeding wagon. I like tasty things, so I'm happy to stick em in myself. I like it ! Tacos are a right value compared to the neighborhood's other options.

Delicious! Had the chicken and the pastor tacos. They were authentic and it felt like being in Mexico

Not to shabby for a stationary taco truck tucked away in a parking lot of a market. Though due to the distance I can't help but compare Tarasco to Gonzalez.. I ordered the tofu burrito with avocado (minus cheese and sour cream) to go. When I got home I was eager to dive into this new found food cart food. I noticed from the get go that the burrito was a bit smaller than Gonzalez, i brushed this off quickly. I was excited that they as opposed to Gonzalez had tofu in their burrito but was disappointed it wasn't flavored that well. The additional veggies were a welcome sight and taste as well as the lesser amount of rice. The sauces were bland. I feel like I need to give them a second chance. They just opened recently and am sure they are working on their food. I know vegans can be picky and I'm super stoked that they are accommodating. Perhaps the future will be promising.

About 1 year ago I moved into the Humboldt neighborhood and was very excited to have a taco truck within 4 blocks of my house. While the food isn't terrible or anything, the proximity to my front door is the main reason I come here so frequently. My standard burrito here has been the veggie with avocado. It was in no way offensive, but I never leave feeling very satiated. The beans, rice, and avocado are all good, but it mostly consists of lots of boring lettuce and chopped flavorless tomatoes. More recently I decided to try out some of their meat options and I can't say it was a tremendous improvement. I tried the carnitas and the asada tacos, and while I've certainly had worse, they were nothing to write home about. The carnitas taco came topped with pico de gallo and while the flavor was good, the meat was fairly dry and required a generous dousing of verde salsa to make it adequately palatable. The cilantro & onion topped asada was dry like the carnitas, but unfortunately there wasn't much flavor to it. The tamales here aren't too bad, for $2 a piece they're pretty large and filling. With enough salsa drenching that masa I could probably eat two and be pretty satisfied. The folks that run this cart are super nice. They're always warm and welcoming, very appreciative of your patronage. I've never had a single order messed up here and can only say great things about their customer service. That fact alone makes up a big portion of why I continue to eat here.

Solid 4 stars for that Mole Burrito. Great balance of rice, meat and sauce. Two in there are super polite. Keep an eye out while driving, cause you could fly by it's parking lot and not realize it. It's just 1/2 a block east of I-5 (on Killingsworth, set back in the lot). Drivers can pull into the parking lot too, shared with the Asian market next door.

Pretty good pollo burrito - decent sized with solid fillings, but maybe a touch more dry than I would like. Problem is I ordered carnitas. They still could have earned my future business with a really killer burrito, but "pretty good" isn't enough for that. Too bad - it's so conveniently close to home!

After a lovely ladies night, I had a terrible hangover and needed to get straight before going to class. I needed a carby, greasy, artery-clogging taste bomb to soak up the previous evening's libations. I pulled over at the Taqueria sign. I walked up to the window and was greeted by a charming man and women who were very smiley.I picked a burrito at random without even reading ingredient list. It was their "Mole Burrito" ~ Filled with rice, pinto beans, luscious tender chicken, mole sauce and a sprinkle of cheese. The tortilla was grilled and warm and like a dream come true. Granted, I was hung over and this was just what the doctor ordered. But I think it was fabulous. Good thing they are near school and not near my house because I am positive I would weigh 20 pounds more if the were nearby. It had flavor, texture, and was just beautiful Mexican street food. Usually I am a salsa whore and use a ton of it... The mole sauce was so robust that for the first time in my life I ate a burrito without salsa. It had friendly, quick service. And the thing was so damn huge (as it typical of street food I suppose) that is was two meals and a snack worth of food and I only paid $5 for the delicious gut bomb and I made it through class and felt much better. :)Who needs Mom's chicken noodle? Not his girl. (I read below that they don't take credit cards, but they do. That must be new).
