The wait staff was inattentive. I stood by counter for at least ten minutes and they'd jus say wait a minute and help A table or the two other women standing next to me who were asking about EVERY meal on the menu. I had a quick question. I also patron the el tarasco in el Segundo where I'm not racially profiled. Clearly they didn't like me there. I was the only Caucasian, which shouldn't matter. Ignored shamed and then heard the young guy with braces talking And whispering about me to the two women of Color. Clearly I had to leave. Scary. I'd like To know why and would hope management will reach out To me As I was told by the young man in question I couldn't have a contact number to management. Thank you read more

We just love El Tarasco. It is now a small chain and some are better than others. We love this one. Their food is great traditional Mexican food at at fair prices. The place is always clean and very comfortable. You can eat there or get it to go. We like eating there. The service is just the best. Parking is free. All of their food is great. We love the tacos, the soft tacos give so much meat and their burritos are just stuffed with meat. We also love their guacamole and chips. They have great salsas and they have bottled drinks. Everyone there seems happy and it is just a nice place to eat. They also have great beans and rice. There is just nothing you won't like there. They have a great selection. Their Breakfast burrito is also super. Have fun. read more

El Tarasco can always satisfy a burrito craving. Whether it is a breakfast burrito or a California steak burrito they always hit. I also love the big chips and salsa that come with the burrito. I make sure to ask for extra salsa so you have enough for the burrito and chips. This time the breakfast burrito seemed to be a bit smaller than usual and wasn't as filled as the burritos usually are. I love that they opened this location on the west side. Service is always friendly and it's a great place to take out food. I like to bring the burritos to the beach and enjoy them there. Ambiance is also great and feels authentic and homey inside. read more

Excellent Food! VERY consistent! I've been coming here since 2000! Hot fresh food & ICE cold beer on tap!

El Tarasco in Los Angeles is a culinary delight. I went for the daily special, the junior super deluxe burrito with carne asada, and it did not disappoint--full of flavor, every bite was a treat. The service is prompt, attentive, and clearly aimed to please. Food arrives quickly, piping hot, and the portions are so generous they could feed a small village. A must-visit for anyone craving delicious Mexican cuisine that is in the area or just visiting LAX! read more

I'm one of those people that will stick my head in a dozen restaurants, Reading menus, deciding what I want to eat. I stumbled onto El Tarasco purely by chance, and saw chilaquiles on the menu. I love chilaquiles! The restaurant is long and narrow, clean, quiet, plenty of tables, but with a decidedly local vibe. Service was immediate and friendly. The chips were fresh and warm, and the salsa was really excellent. By the end of the meal, I had sweat running off me. The chilaquiles came on a hot earthen platter, easily enough food to share. The portion was very large. I added asada for $3, and was very pleasantly surprised how much asada they piled on. The meat was tender and tasty, eggs were fresh and perfectly cooked, rice and beans were tasty. Coffee was fresh and excellent. I thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of this meal, and I will definitely return to El Tarasco. If you haven't eaten here, I highly recommend you give it a try. read more

Our favorite of all the El Tarasco locations! Love the others, too, but we feel somehow the sauce here is deliciously different - 10+ every time. Just tried the chicken tostada and it was good, the chili relleno, too, but getting our favorite enchiladas is our best. Super friendly service -thank you Cruz! and kept very clean, easy parking, and a good value. read more

I came in after seeing some pretty bad reviews. I just wanted some quick breakfast and got the bacon breakfast burrito. They use actual papas (potatoes) not hash browns and it tasted like my mom made it. I was so surprised, I wasn't expecting it to be this amazing. There is so much bacon and it's PERFECTLY cooked. I EVEN GOT A CHEESE PULL!!! 10/10 recommend! read more

El Tarasco - Bacon Breakfast Burrito - Mexican Near Me - Westchester, California

Honestly i didnt think it was possible to have bad Mexican in LA but this place showed me it is possible: I ordered u er eats and it was late so i didnt expect a lot. I was happy that they had a bean and cheese option because im vegetarian and for some reason mexican places have a hard time allowing you to subtract meat from ordering online Anyway but.. burrito was soooo mushy and beans were sooooo light and i didnt even finish it. The side of rice was big like a full plate almost. read more

I only recently started going to this Westchester location again and had late lunch there today at 4:00 when it wasn't very busy. The short, corpulent server took my order and that was pretty much the last I saw of him. One of his co-workers delivered my chicken enchilada plate while the original server was eating a meal. He never checked back to see if I needed anything else and I had to flag down his co-worker for a soda refill and the check. The check was $12.50 plus tax and when it came, it clearly stated $13.72 for charge card or $13.21 for cash. When I paid, I gave that orginal server three $5 bills but he gave me change on the $13.72 amount. I told him that he overcharged me and that it should be change on the $13.21 amount since I gave him cash not 2 minutes earlier. He kept insisting that the charge was $13.72 since that was the amount he erroneously entered on the cash register and if it accurate then the change would have been correct but he would not check again on the printed bill showing a cash price. The 51 cents difference would be his only tip for the next-to-no service he provided and because he was not only wrong about the bill amount but belligerent about it as well. Because of this jackass server, I'm never eating at this location again. read more

The price is too high. $30 for 3 carne asada tacos, rice, beans fountain drink. It's good, but not nearly that good. Maybe $15-$20 TOPS.

A Beautiful Hole in the wall glorious California burrito spot. The flour Tortilla is made to perfection just like how they do it in San Diego. The fries are one of the crispiest fries but only if you eat it asap. Good guac portions. Meat, meets expectations but doesn't surpass it. I would get the California burrito over the carne Asada burrito because the carne Asada burrito just tastes like meat and beans. Still yummy though. Somewhat expensive as these burritos aren't as big as Bennys even though I think this spots California burrito may be higher in quality. All burritos come with salsa and chips. Huge Parking in the back. read more

OMG they have the best taquitos absolutely yummy. I wish that there were three I always order an extra one because the order comes with two, but their tortilla chips are very unique as it's like they just take their tortilla and deep fry it and then they just kind of put them in a bag I haven't tried anything else because we like what we like, right read more

Nacho best place to eat. Let's taco 'bout my disappointing experience. The ground beef was a texture so strange that I questioned whether it was genuinely meat - spongy and overly salted, yet somehow still lacked flavor. The chips were soggy, mucky, and stale. Two sneaky cubed potatoes ended up in my nachos? - I'm still confused as to how and why. I opted to get the flan for dessert and was throughly disappointed by the insufficient taste. I'm not a dessert girl, but this was a bland and sad excuse for something sweet. Cheers for portions and pricing - on that same note, you get what you pay for. Diners beware. read more

I have been coming to El Tarasco for a couple of years for breakfast and it never disappoints. Usually I get the breakfast burrito, but today I was craving chilaquiles. It was so delicious! My friend and I cleaned our plates! I added a scoop of guacamole for $1.50. Their red salsa is so delicious, I could fill up on just that with their fresh chips. The restaurant itself a has lovely and simple ambiance, very mom & pop which I really appreciate. Staff is also always so friendly. Anytime I come here I am left full and happy! read more

The food was great but, kinda heavy. We had the 'Super Nacho's' very greasy- but very cheesy..Eh, for it to be super, I hope the 'super' didnt mean portion. Anyhow, we shared it. They put Guac and Sour Cream on it, w/o the ask - that was a plus! And the service was great! Although the food was a little heavy and the portion was small, the service was great! Prices mediocre Warning, side note: Went to wash my hands, most of the restroom was clean and immaculate, didn't expect that, impressive. The pee-on needs a little work How clean a restroom is, say a lot about an establishment read more

If you're looking for El Tarasco, you probably won't find it. If you're not looking for it, you likely will find it. Folded into a boxcar length location bordered by Sepulveda and a maze-like, mostly-forgotten under-construction corner of a parking lot complete with One Way Lanes...it's easy to not find this place. One couple recently mapped it, set out to visit it and were lost for days, finding themselves almost not found. It wasn't until someone that wasn't looking for them found them. El Tarasco is like that...a Bermuda Triangle of food locations. All that to say, IF you find it, you will enjoy their food. It's quick, easy and good. Chips, salsa, guac', stuffed fresh and delicious burritos, crispy tacos and ice cold cerveza. That's the ticket. read more

I ordered a Carne Asada burrito. With light rice no beans and guacamole. And trust me when I say this burrito has no flavor. The meat tased so bland. If there was no guacamole it would really taste horrible. I would not even offer it to a homeless person. That's how bad it was. read more

The pork and potato chilli verde is excellent! They take cash or card and are always kind when you come on

Food is okay, don't know if it was a bad day for them but the California burrito was just okay. The male waiter was super sweet and nice but the lady at the register seemed annoyed which kind of kills your eating vibe. Chips and salsa were really good. Horchata was okay as well, was a little harsh on the throat. Definitely won't be coming back and maybe this place was just having a bad day. read more

DO NOT BUY BEAN AND CHEESE BURRITO‼‼ 2 years ago, I used to come here every week with my dad because i loved their bean cheese and rice burritos so much. Ever since management changed, i've only ever received Half-Assed burritos that are floppy and small. I hate to say it but it ruined the burrito for me. I used to eat a whole burrito and be full. Now i still feel hungry after eating one. I have mentioned multiple times to the staff to make my burrito nice and full, and every time i do so they dont listen. Im very disappointed in El Tarasco. I havent ordered here in over a year, and today i felt like why not give it a try. To my surprise they are still serving bullshit burritos. Dont get me wrong, everything else on the menu looks amazing but my problem is really with their shitty burritos. I miss the old El Tarasco. Not to mention making a burrito is one of the cheapest things you could possibly make in a Mexican restaurant, yet they charge 8$ without rice! (rice cost and extra dollar) comes out to 10$ for a limp d*ck burrito. read more

Always my first go to for chicken tacos or chicken tostadas. Service excellent and ambiance is simple clean and comfortable.

I ordered take out. Waited in restaurant while they made the order. It took some time. When I got home the order was wrong. I called the restaurant and the guy acted like I was crazy. I drove back and the order was indeed wrong. He never once apologized or offered a discount. He literally continued to act like they had done nothing wrong. read more

The shredded chicken tasted like it was right out of a tin can; soggy, rough, and dull colour. The tortilla it was wrapped in felt like it came from a school lunch, very hard to open and had the texture of craft paper. Rice was good, service okay we didnt get water refills or anything like that. Some of the tables weren't cleaned off from previous diners. read more

Have eaten here many times in the past but today was such an awful experience I don't think I will ever go back. I was with my mom, baby and toddler and we called in our order while we were leaving the park and we were told it would take 16 minutes. I got there a couple minutes early and paid. The food ended up taking 30 minutes with my kids and mom waiting in the car. Then once we got home the cheese enchilada I ordered for my toddler was not there and instead had chips with melted cheese on them which she cannot eat. I called and told them and asked how they would like to make it right and they said "ok" and hung up. So so terrible. read more

First time having el Tarasco since moving back to LA and i was super excited about it. I ordered a super burrito w carne asada ans has it made dry. When i got it, i picked it up and the burrito fell apart and it was so oily i couldn't eat it w the tortilla. There tortilla looked so yummy too but so oily i put all the contents in a bowl. Probably won't be going back. At least the chips and salsa were amazing! Update: i couldn't eat the bowl, the meat was so fatty i ended up tossing it all Update 2: i ended up throwing up later that night from the meal and i reduced the stars from 3 to 1 for this review read more

Excellent service, food was great! Ordered the cheese enchiladas and hard taco combo. Quick service and plenty of seating.

Not the best ever, but always hits the spot and open late! Ordered delivery from here and enjoyed all items, some items I knew wouldn't travel well but a craving is a craving. Really enjoyed the carne asada burrito covered in red sauce, and the taquitos were solid. The nachos and taquitos got a bit soggy with the travel etc. I'll definitely order again and dine in forsure when getting the nachos. read more
