Hands down...delicious....the owner was friendly, waitress and host! The food was beyond... I had the chili verde...plentiful chunks of lean pork in verde, the perfect runny but dense refried beans with cheddar cheese, rice and this slaw that was everything!! My partner had carne asada quesadilla with beans and rice and daughter had carne asada burrito... there was nothing left!! Thank you again for the delicious meal during our road trip. Ps chips were great and salsa had just the right amount of kick...I wanted to eat all the salsa and not share...cilantro in the salsa was read more

I absolutely recommend this restaurant. Great food, super friendly staff that make you feel like family and when a mistake has been made like "no beans" and I get beans, they make it right and you feel like your business is appreciated. I LOVE their margaritas, too!! read more

Tarasco just does it right! The menu is extensive and delicious, portions are very generous. The super burritos are huge and so tasty. I have never finished one in a single sitting. The Pollo Diablo is amazing. I've barely scratched the menu as far as seafood, pork and the desserts are crazy, deep fried ice cream; What? So amazing. The service is friendly, the dining room is always spotless and the drinks are fantastic. I highly recommend it. I feel so fortunate to live in the RR area! read more

Best I have ever had! The owner is very accommodating and friendly. The atmosphere is beautiful and clean and all the food is excellent! My 95 year old mom ate everything on her plate (which she often does not do now). My wife had a combination plate of enchilada and chile relleno and loved it and I had chile relleno also. We drove from Medford to the restaurant in Rogue River. Many people we have asked rave about this restaurant. Well worth the drive and great prices $ too! read more

Been coming here since 2017. Best chicken tortilla soup Ive had in Southern Oregon. Really good salsa! The owner is sweet and attentive. Excellent service always and a sweet little treat for dessert. Fair prices too. read more

Tarasco Mexican Restaurant - Delicious Picadillo Burrito - Mexican Near Me - Rogue River, Oregon

Pretty good, for the area. It seemed to me there weren't a ton of dining options for this tiny community. I got the special, pollo asada, it was very good in my eyes. The rice may have been a touch dry in my opinion but everything else was delicious. My husband enjoyed his steak fajita burrito although there were too many largely cut bell peppers for his taste. The complimentary chips and salsa were great. Really crispy, salty and thin tortilla chips. The salsa was fresh and quite spicy. Service was dutiful although not what I would call friendly. Atmosphere was really dated, with mostly booths and a bar to sit at. I did appreciate that the restaurant was decorated for Christmas. I was horrified in the restroom. Looked like haunted jail bathrooms from 100 years ago. Also, no baby changing table so I had to place her on a portable changing mat (that I brought) on the disgusting floor! Be aware of that should you be brining a baby in here. Prices are low here, which surprised me. read more

When you wonder through places that are unknown you often need to stop at some point for some well needed sustenance at this very point it came about coming here just as it sounded to be what's good! This was kinda interesting place because you park in the back then once you enter it's a big room that should be for Dinning but I'm not sure if they just moved everything because of what's going on but either way the room wasn't well lit had I not heard the voices of other people eating in the other room I might have walked out but I ventured through it to find the host stand where I stood for a min before someone greeted me and then seated us. We were brought chips and salsa the chips were good the salsa was better as it had a good flavor to it and just was yummy all around! Of the options I went with an enchilada and a tamale both of which were good flavorful and just perfect for this given day of lunch either way I enjoyed them. Overall interesting little place but hey the food wasn't bad who knows if I'll ever come here again but if your traveling through don't overlook it as there was some good things here! read more

My absolute favorite Mexican restaurant! The best food every single time I'm there! Love the extra cheese in everything.

The food is authentic; having a Mexican American background I can appreciate the down home flavors of Tarascos.

Always very good and Jose deserves an award for his hard work and excellent personality!

We came in for the first time tonight, I am SO glad we tried this place! The food was delicious! I ordered the cheese enchiladas and hubby got the Chimichanga plate with shredded beef. Both were fresh and awesome. Good portions, fast friendly service. I definitely recommend! read more

The food was very good. My husband and his brother and I really enjoyed our lunch. Clean restaurant and nice staff.

Damned good food and service here. I had a sampler plate and a plate of their carne asada. Very happy with all. Gotta give some serious love here for the salsa though.... soooooo good I left with a jar. That vanished from my pantry pretty quickly, son I'm planning a ride there again from eugene just to pick up more of the stuff. :) read more

Good food. Great service. Happy to have Tarasco in our town. They have a full bar as well. read more

Food is always hot and delicious. The service is phenomenal. Always a comfortable place to enjoy great food.

Fabulous food, service and clean. We will be coming back for the pork tamales for sure. Highly recommend read more

Tarasco Mexican Restaurant - Dessert - Mexican Near Me - Rogue River, Oregon

We love coming into Tarascos! They always know what we like and the service is wonderful. The food is also great, we are so lucky to have them in our area. read more

The food is ALWAYS fantastic with big portions for a good price. The staff is wonderful, and they offer free "dessert" cinnamon tortilla chips with whipped cream and strawberry drizzle. So yummy! The decor is beautiful with a large mural on one wall. And there is a full bar. The margaritas are fabulous read more

Good portions and food comes out piping hot! Drinks were fairly priced too. We ordered the chile verde and camarones a la diabla, food was great read more

Tarasco Mexican Restaurant - a plate of food and a glass of beer - Mexican Near Me - Rogue River, Oregon

Very good chili verde, very good crunchy corn tacos, finally found a good Mexican restaurant that's worth coming from grants pass for. Service was excellent also. We'll be back for sure. read more

Great food and terrific service. The lunch specials are a real bargain. Haven't been there dinner or Happ hour but will go.

Great food but not as many options as I would like. Especially, I wish they had smaller portion meals like a small combo. They make some dishes differently but that's ok. Flautas are usually flour but corn here and their taquitos are flour. Both are made larger and cut in half... more like chimichangas. Anyway, they are good and VERY friendly and hospitable! read more

Amazing service. They are very helpful and very efficient. Not only that but the food is AMAZING! I order the Pollo A La Crema each time I go. Each time it is amazing. I highly recommend Tarascos. read more

We stopped here for lunch before visiting a local winery and were delighted with our experience! There is plenty of parking behind the restaurant. We went in from the back door and were greeted and seated quickly. Chips and salsa arrived, and the salsa was a harbinger of things to come! It was spicy and had a wonderful flavor. My wife ordered the fajita burrito. It was large and the seasoning on the meat was outstanding. I had the Albondigas--highly recommended! The meatballs and vegetables were perfectly seasoned, and the soup was hearty. It comes with cilantro, onion and jalapenos so you can spice it up further to your taste. Our attentive and polite server was great, and the food came out quickly. We topped everything off with two sopapillas for dessert. What a great lunch! read more

We've been enjoying Tarasco's traditional Mexican menu for 15 years. They are our go-to restaurant for dinner with friends and family on the spur of the moment, when we just need to get out and go. There's a lot to be said for small-town Mom and Pop restaurants where they know you and really appreciate your business. We drop in, go to our favorite table and are brought fresh chips and dip (mild, not hot, without being asked!). My default beverage is the Tarasco's Margarita. The Super Burrito and Carne Asada are my favorites. Juan and Maria always greet us, and on a slow night Juan often joins us for a brief visit. It's a friendly place. We arrive hungry and leave happy. read more

Tarasco is in a new, larger space that looks nice even without the usual overwhelming Mexican restaurant decor. Service was friendly but a bit slow, because, like most restaurants lately it can't. hire enough staff. The pollo con arroz with bell peppers, mushrooms, onions & cheese had a mildly spicy tomato sauce that was very good. With three tortillas, it filled me up. As usual, there were corn chips and salsa. The chips with crispy and not salted. The salsa was. spicy hot. There is a full bar and a partitioned area from private parties. read more

Been coming here for over 22 years. Best Mexican food ever. Juan and his crew provide the best service as well.

We both ordered the steak fajita burrito, to go, and it was great. They made one that wasn't spicy at all for someone who doesn't like spicy food and one normal. I had a taste of both versions and they were both excellent, so if you don't like spicy food and let them know they can totally accommodate you. The portion size was very generous I thought. The burrito had a nice assortment of vegetables mixed in with the meat. One of the things in it was mushrooms which I wouldn't have expected in most Mexican foods, but it was a really great addition. The beans and Mexican rice were both quite delicious as well. It seemed like the refried beans were homemade rather than just canned. I'm not positive they were homemade, but I can say they were certainly delicious! read more

The food is ok. The beans are very tasty! The restaurant has a musky smell, but looks very clean. The bathroom is are disgusting!

I'm not sure if we came on an off night or it was too close to closing time (7:45), or what the problem might have been, but we had a mediocre at best experience at Tarasco Mexican Restaurant. My sister and I had cheese enchilada dinners, my husband had Chile verde, and my brother-in-law had camarones diablo. The enchiladas had a strange sauce, which was a light brown color, but the worst meal, by far, was my brother-in-law's camarones. It arrived at the table looking unappetizing, with mushrooms cut so large they looked like potato's. The sauce was extremely thick and tasted like Sweet Baby Rays barbecue sauce, with a dash of cayenne pepper thrown in. The sweet, smoky flavor was completely unlike an actual diablo sauce. We all ate a portion of our meal, then left. A very disappointing experience. read more

Tasty! Family came in last night to enjoy some dinner with a cousin I haven't seen in a while who lives in the area. We had the Chile verde, flautas and kids' enchilada. Great food, generous portions and authentic flavors. Excellent customer service, and if we're in the area again we will definitely come back! read more

We recently moved to Rogue River and Tarasco is just down the road. My parents suggested the mole and I am so glad I took there advice. I have eaten a lot of mole and this is up there with the best of the best. I ordered mole cheese enchiladas and I'm telling everyone go try them. read more

homemade food, excellent service, great experience; real mom and pop family feeling; better than many other places I've been

Excellent lunch and very reasonable prices! We will drive from Medford to eat here again!

But the owner, Juan, is very nice and genuinely cares about the customers and the quality of his restaurant. He took initiative to fix the issues we were having and was genuinely appreciative of our feedback to improve the restaurant and our experience. We always enjoy the food and service we receive and will definitely continue to come here. read more

Tarasco Mexican Restaurant - Lung tubing found in my shredded beef taco... Ick! - Mexican Near Me - Rogue River, Oregon

This place was a disappointment. The service was non existent, the waitress was rude and didn't seem happy to see us, she never came to take our order we had to summon her after about 15 min. The food...... I don't know where to begin. 1. The toco shells were out of a box not made fresh. 2. The Mexican pizza was more like a nacho casserole and yucky. 3. We ordered the Mexican pizza with chicken but it came with ground beef. I am no fan of Taco Bell but if I had a choice between the two I'd take Taco Bell. I live in a farming community that has more Mexican restaurants than Seattle has Starbucks so I know a bit about Mexican cook'n. Our experience was bad, maybe if I had visited their bar first and slugged down 7-8 double shots of tequila the food may have tasted better but at that point you'd eat a tic tac off the bathroom floor. I hope your experience will be better than ours. read more

I love their new location, bigger brighter. Im a big fan of their crunchy tacos Especially their picadillo with awesome roast beef. I just had their dessert Flan. Theyre "flan-tastic" generous servings, homemade in house. Take your time, savor every bite. Its tooo rich to rush.. Nice enough to just stop by and share with someone special read more
