La Tarasca - Centralia

Amazing experience all around! Great food and great service !! New favorite!

I’ve never had Mexican food quite like this. If you’re looking for free chips and salsa and a frozen margarita, this isn’t the place for you. However, if you’re looking for a unique and authentic Michoacán food experience, La Tarasca is definitely for you! The carnitas were perfectly cooked and served with the best beans I’ve ever had, plus a very fluffy and tasty Mexican rice. The homemade tortillas were perfect for wrapping up the carnitas and salsa (which was a much more subtle tomato and chili affair than I was expecting). My partner got the sopes, and from the bites that I sampled, those were some of the best I’ve had. I came here because I was already in the area for something unrelated, but knowing that La Tarasca exists, I would drive down here just for this food!

Amazing- the food, the people, the atmosphere.... probably the best we've ever had. Be sure to get the flan for dessert- it is amazing!!! The tamales and tortillas are homemade, fresh, and spectacular Dietary restrictions: this restaurant is gluten free/celiac friendly- the only glutonous item on the menu is the bread pudding. The staff is attentive to this and I made it in and out without being glutened :

Great gluten free place..relatives said best Gf food ever.

Had my favorite, a chile relleno, plus rice, refried beans freshly made corn tortillas. Mercedes is such a sweet, efficient lady offered me homemade flan for dessert. It was so good!
