    Super Nachos
    Ashli S.

    My Uber driver recommended this spot (specifically the chicken tacos), I knew we had to try it the next day for lunch. The pricing was very reasonable, the space itself was nice and clean, and I appreciated the outdoor seating since the weather was beautiful. Restrooms were also available (a plus!). The server was very attentive, helping us decide what were the best options for us to try. We ordered a mix of items to try a little bit of everything: Seafood tacos, Chicken nachos and a taco plate with rice and beans (with the option to mix and match meats !) The nachos were good overall (7/10 for me), but the chips got soggy pretty quickly and the bottom of the plate became a bit watery. Flavor was there, though. My friend really enjoyed her seafood tacos said they were fresh and light! I ordered the taco plate with chicken and steak. The rice was flavorful and well-seasoned. I skipped the beans since they came topped with cheese (something I didn't realize beforehand). The chicken tacos were solid, but the true standout was the carne asada! Very tender, well-seasoned, and easily my favorite item of the meal. Overall, this is a great, casual spot!

    Excellent food always fresh and excellent service. The salsa and home Fried tortia chips are fire. Plenty of outdoors seating.

    Ordered a shredded chicken quesadilla and was really disappointed. The chicken wasn't even shredded properly -- it was in large clumps and just thrown inside, so the quesadilla wasn't evenly filled and didn't look appetizing. I ended up not eating it. When I called to mention it, the response was dismissive and they simply said "okay, next time we'll make it better" and hung up. Very disappointing experience.

    Very fast and kind food is always great 100% recommend , the place is really getting an upgrade service is quick and reliable the environment is always great

    Awesome service and convenient right by the airport ! Good atmosphere and lots of seating

    LOVE FOR ELTarasco

    My family's go to Mexican spot. We love the food and I'm soo addicted to the chips and Salsa. Carne Asada burrito is my daughter's favorite and my mom loves the Asada Fries. #ElTarascoInglewoodislife

Our service was Miguel and he was awesome , very attentive and friendly . We both got bottomless mimosas and baby they were only $15!! A steal if you asked me . I ordered the blackened salmon, but I got potato's instead of grits . I don't like grits I also got the Mexican roll (with no avocado). Maneeeeee my whole meal was delicious!!! My homegirl enjoyed her food too! Here's her sentiments about our experience! "The restaurant was pretty empty when we first arrived, but it filled up pretty quickly after that. The service was excellent from start to finish. The shrimp roll was honestly the highlight for me, so flavorful and definitely something I'd order again. My steak was just okay, nothing too special, but the grits were FIRE and completely made up for it. We also did the bottomless mimosas with cranberry juice on the side, which was a nice touch. Overall, good vibes, great service, and some standout dishes. I'd definitely come back for the shrimp roll and grits alone." I personally have a few more things I need to try in the menu, so trust and believe I'll be visiting more than a few times! P.S. there's meter street parking. Do with that information as you see fit.

This place is a gem. Of course, I had to start with a margarita served in one of those huge goblet glasses, and wow--it did not disappoint. Strong, smooth, and full of flavor. My wife, who's pregnant, ordered a virgin cocktail, and honestly, it was just as impressive. It was refreshing, well-balanced, and fairly priced (which is rare for non-alcoholic drinks). For food, we went all in. My wife ordered the fish taco meal, which was generous and packed with flavor. The portions were no joke. Our son got the kids burrito, and it was massive--definitely not your average "kids meal." I went with the quesabirria tacos from the appetizer menu, and they were perfect for my appetite. Rich, flavorful, and satisfying without being too heavy. The ambiance really stood out. It strikes a great balance between authentic Mexican culture and a modern, clean dining experience. It's the kind of place that feels lively and welcoming without being overwhelming--perfect for a casual night out or even a small celebration. Service was top-tier. The staff was attentive without hovering, quick with recommendations, and made sure we were taken care of from start to finish. You can tell they genuinely care about the customer experience, which goes a long way. Parking is a bit limited right in front, but there's plenty of street parking and nearby lots, so it's manageable. Bonus: right next door is Drobe Stogie Cigar Lounge, which is a great spot to check out if you enjoy cigars. It's the perfect way to wind down after a solid meal. Overall, the pricing is very reasonable for the quality and portion sizes, and this is easily becoming one of our go-to spots for nights out. Highly recommend.

I opted to get the California burrito with the rotisserie chicken as the protein choice. The young lady taking the order was helpful in describing the rotisserie and chipotle chicken offered. Burrito and fountain drink came out to about $20. I chose to sit at a little bar top table across the side walk, the little place stayed busy. They do have a sign that says no public restrooms, somehow people still miss it. And there's one doorway between the patio seating and interior which seems to attract people oblivious to the fact the server is coming in and out with orders. Usually after getting in the way 3-4 times they have an epiphany. When the burrito came out on a plate with some chips I was honestly underwhelmed by the size/form factor. Good weight, but not the typical tight rolled cigar. All doubts were put to rest at first bite. The chicken is so juicy and flavorful, the guacamole is even throughout and the chicken is plentiful. Absolutely no bad bites. Definitely coming back here again, easy stop when coming to LAX and worth the time for the detour.

    I used to be a regular customer at this restaurant a couple of years ago, and the food and service…read morewere always solid. I even used their catering for a party of 50 people for my 7‑year‑old, and everything back then was excellent. My recent visit to the Manchester location was a completely different experience. I ordered the Chicken and Steak Fajita and waited 39 minutes for my food. During that time, none of the tables were cleaned, trash was left out, and the entire dining area had an unpleasant smell that made it impossible to eat inside. I ended up taking my food to my car. The food quality has declined dramatically. The fajita was almost entirely onions and green peppers, with barely any chicken and only three tiny pieces of steak that were extremely tough, as if they were old and reheated. The Mexican rice was undercooked, the beans tasted like they came straight from a can, and even the nachos had that same canned flavor. They used to serve excellent fresh salsa, but now it tastes like processed canned salsa as well. Based on this experience, I will not be returning, and I cannot recommend this place anymore. The positive reviews reflect how the restaurant used to be, not how it is now. For me, this was a zero‑star visit.
