Did not want to drive into town in search of a good menudo on a Sunday morning. When I entered the restaurant, it was an average Mexican stop with gas station attached. We sampled the menudo and was acceptable. So I ordered. But keep in mind no prices are listed. $19.51 for a 32oz of menudo, that's was the most expensive I've ever paid for menudo. 3 quesabrillas, the same price! I know prices are higher now days, but damn! Sorry, but won't return. I'll just learn from TicTok videos how to cook these items and feed my whole family. The restaurant should put PRICES on the menu. read more

So they have a sign that says "Drive through open" yet they never have anyone working it, been here three times in a month and o one ever responds. Then the lady up front they have working in the mornings has such an awful attitude. If she doesn't want to work here she needs to get a new job. Have me my order I told her thank you and she just turned around and started bagging the next order, mind you I was the only customer. If the breakfast burritos weren't so good I'd stop coming here. read more

I agree with most of the previous reviews, way over priced for what you get. Please note, no prices are listed on menu, so have to ask how much each item is. Quality is not great either. Today was my first visit here, decided to try it in a pinch since we were working nearby. Ordered the pastor rice bowl. Was expecting at least a decent size bowl. What I got was a small portion of pastor meat, roughly 2 table spoons worth. With about 4 table spoons of rice all covered with some lettuce, total was close to $12 with tax. Food tasted like it had been cooked somewhere else moved to this location, and then assembled as orders come in, so pastor was on the dry side. Flavor was ok, I've definitely had worse. Overall not great and prob will not be back. read more

Grabbed lunch here the other day. Got the lunch special. Both enchilada and sope were really good. Don't know why the rating is so low this place is a good 4/5! read more

This location is one of my personal favorites. The service is always really helpful & upbeat. The food is also really great & quickly made! read more

See all

I recently visited this location this past Friday with my girlfriend for the chili verde wet burrito special. The burrito comes in a decent sized portion filled with chili verde, rice and beans. Everything was flavorful and filling. Just the right amount of food without leaving you too stuffed or yearning for more. The special comes with a drink and a order of chips if you would like. Definitely busy when we came in to eat but they got us our food and everyone else's food just as quick as they take your order. Definitely will be back to try out the rest of their menu and specials. See you all soon read more

Meat was too greasy and salty, I loved the homemade tortilla, salsa was tooooo spacey (HOT) for me

Food is always great here no complains but the customer service from the cashier is trash. The young girl is real short with her responses when asking what comes on the order, she literally rolled her eyes when I asked her what came inside the Rice bowls. As a cashier you should be able to greet people not just walk up to them and not say anything and expect someone to know you are ready to order. read more

Took my mother here for for lunch. The chips were cold like they dumped a bag of store bought chips I. A bin although the bean and cheese dip was very good. . The ground beef taco meant tasted like the rice and nether were good. Some weird taste in the rice that didn't scream Mexican rice. We will not be back. read more

This place is trash!!! Service sucked both lady's that worked here are rude my burrito was $8.33 Carne asada rice beans I asked if they can put cilantro and cabbage last looked at me like I was bothering her then told me next time ask for it before burrito was over priced I didn't know because all there prices are covered last time I come here. As for the flavor on the food asada needs some salt or something no flavor but the salt and limes I added. Please do your self a favor and go down the street there are 2 taco trucks usually open much better or across the street for some chicken and rice plates for 2$ with some delicious egg rolls! read more

Stopped in and ordered two breakfast burritos. Online menu states low prices but once there, menu does not list prices. Paid over $20 for two breakfast burritos. Wtf! Felt like walking out but didn't. I questioned the price and they looked at me like I was in the wrong. Burritos were good but not $20 good! I won't be going there again. read more

Food is overpriced. The won't take orders through the drive-thru, you have to call in or come in to order. No sign telling you it doesn't work. The enchilada was burnet with dark meat chicken chucks tasted ok. Bean and cheese burrito was very greasy and salty. Carnitas taco was ok except for a chunk of fatty meat I removed and fed my dog! There are much better places . read more

Tiny burrito for $8. Meat beans and rice gtfoh. Nothing else, shoulda went to Taco Bell. read more

Really good carnitas tacos. The asada burrito was amazing! And still warm enough when I arrived to Fresno. Free chips and salsa. Customer service was awesome. Love the family owned business atmosphere. read more

We were on our way to the Sequoias and were planning to quickly stop at Subway located in the same lot when I spotted this joint. Granted, it's a gas station so I was not expecting much from the interior or stellar service so don't go in with that expectation. It's just to eat good food. All I can comment on is what we ordered which was the bean and cheese burrito. Good lord! I think it was the best bean and cheese burrito I've ever had - please don't tell my Mexican mother or she will kill me! I'm been craving it for the last few days. For sure stopping there on the way back home. Beans seem like they'd be pretty easy to make but over years and years of practice and eating at many places I realize that most places just don't make good beans. read more

I called ahead for lunch and it was packed and ready when I got there. Complementary salsa, jalapeños & onions are available. It filled the lunch time appetite. read more

El Tarasco - 4 Carne Asada tacos were good enough to fill the lunch time hunger. I called ahead and the food was ready. - Mexican Near Me - Visalia, California

Overpriced paid 15 dollars for a shrimp cocktail with five shrimp. You get different serving sizes at different locations it should be the same across the board. This location is at the worst of all 3 because they're at the gas station with no waitresses like the other locations so I would think the prices would be lower not higher. read more

El Tarasco - Tiny missing the other half. - Mexican Near Me - Visalia, California

I love good Mexican food. This place was packed and I thought that must mean the food is good. I ordered the enchilada and taco lunch, no rice, all beans. Well it was busy so it took awhile... no big deal.but then they didnt substitute beans for rice. The meat was bland. The Chile Verde sauce was good. But that was the only good thing. If that was where my visit ended I wouldn't be writing this review. Mediocre food doesn't require a negative review to me. However, I then watched as they prepared other food. The lady putting chips with food used her bare hands then touched her hair, the phone and the cash register. Then I see the ladies in back also no gloves picking up cheese and lettuce... no gloves. Where is the level of cleanliness? I wont ve eating here again and I suggest you dont as well. read more

Wow! This place is worth driving off the freeway to eat the fresh, handmade tortillas and steak tacos. The variety of homemade pico de gallo and 3 different salsas are ready for any taste preference. Plus, this family owned restaurant group is staffed by friendly family members with great people skills, knowledge, and hospitality! We ate here twice in two days!!! I can hardly wait for the next opportunity to eat in one of their 3 locations. read more

Over priced food, they should be a little more reasonable with their prices. Although, their menudo is really good! Served Friday & Saturday, ask for chile de aceite (chile in oil) on the side, adds a great kick to the menudo, you can also have it with or without hominy. Good price on the menudo and good amount. read more

How hard is it to get a breakfast buritto, two attempts and an hour later and it's still wrong. Instead of making things right and offering up my refund and give the second buritto as complimentary and a sincere apology they seemed bothered. ..smh!! Oh and way overpriced! read more

The food was really good. The papa nachos are really good. My family liked the food as well. We will be repeat customers for sure.

The food here is nasty that's all I got to say. The meat tastes old and bad. Never again

Food is way overpriced for the quality you get. Breakfast burritos don't even include cheese and are expensive. Really wouldn't recommend this place. read more

All i have to say is wow!!! The food is great the ambience is amazing the upscale taqueria style restaurant concept is one of a kind. I visit all Tarascos and their quality and attention to detail is always the best. Friendly staff and great salsa selection. Will definitely tell friends and family about this place. Keep up the good work. read more

Just ok food, expensive for what is served. I didn't care for their beans, too much like a chili bean flavor. Mediocre service. Decent drinks. There are better and less expensive Mexican Restaurants near by. read more

This is my go to spot for a quick lunch when I'm wanting Mexican food. Nice environment and friendly staff.

Way too overpriced for what you're getting. The food is OK. But 2.49 for a small taco. 9.99 for a burrito with only rice beans and one meat. They should have a lunch menu with cheaper prices considering it caters to mostly people on their lunch break. This place has dinner menu prices for a lunch meal. They would get a lot more business if they had appropriate prices. I've watched several people walk in, look at the prices, and walk straight into subway. read more

Worst quesadilla ever the plate was full of grease! Had them make another one and same thing! Also their $3.99 breakfast burrito is a joke its so small and no flavor.. never stopping again. read more

$9 for torta? Too expensive for the quality of food. I don't mind paying xtra. Menu has prices cover up.

Great Food, Great Service at El Tarasco. The food has all the flavors like eating at Nanas house. -Mexicali

Food is way overpriced. They don't know how to answer their phone. Called the restaurant when I was in line to see if they would answer and the lady at the register just looked at the phone and didn't answer it. Customer service is not good at all. Plus, they got my order wrong. read more

I have been to this location more than a few times. The food is not bad, but nothing special. The problem is they aren't friendly there. Twice I have been there and had to ask for the price of the breakfast burritos. They have a big sign promoting breakfast burritos, but they don't have any prices on them. So when you ask them how much it is, you get "well...which one do you want?" If I had a price I would tell you which one I want. It has happened to me two times. Also, I have seen somewhere about breakfast burritos being a cheaper price but between a certain time. I don't remember how much they were or between what time, but maybe they should make that clear. I guess the breakfast burritos are actually pretty good. I would give them 3 1/2 stars for the Breakfast burritos. read more

The worker that helped me grabbed the chips out of the container with her bare hands after she handled money from working the cash register. Not only did she use her bare hand to serve my chips but she was going through the chips as if she was looking for the best ones. Yuk! read more

Great food.... service was very nice well worth it the only thing my mom said she would like if they would pick up you're plates being that some elderly can not do it on there own with out falling. read more

This place doesn't even deserve 1 star... The lady working the register is extremely rude and there food is way overpriced! never again....

For the price of the food you'd think it was just as good quality as their other locations but it's not. I've given them multiple opportunities trying different things but it doesn't change.The meats are oily therefore everything they put it on becomes oily and ruins your meal. You're better off going next door to subway. read more

Food was good but overpriced for the amount you get. Drinks also overpriced and refills cost a dollar. Was disappointed with pricing and customer service could have been better. read more

Horrible, the girl taking our order obviously didn't want to be here and it showed, bad attitude if you don't want to be here I'm sure there someone else willing to work, her name was marisol btw, food was sub par, I was honestly eating 3 day old rice that was repeatedly warmed up, the beans sucked,very disappointed compared to the Main Street location, our tortillas were cold, not cooked correctly, I don't think they even threw it on the grill to warm them up, will not come back to this location..the presentation of the food was just thrown together quickly no pride in it, if there was an option for zero stars this place would get it read more
