El Tarasco - Downingtown

Simple, yet welcoming restaurant serving plentiful and delicious food. The decor is very colorful and like the food, feels authentic. Service is a mix between Hi, sit here and this is the menu and Get up to ask for a desert and pay the smiling lady on your way out . I am not complaining, just an observation it 's just small enough where this level of attention is just fine and the exit reminds me of Nudy 's, which is a very pleasant, diner like experience. The food was delicious and inexpensive. We might have another dinner and a half left from it. Especially the burrito just you look at that thing! My fajitas were crisp, with great flavors through and through, and piping hot so I couldn 't just dig in and eat (again, not a complaint). We received a recommendation to come here and overall, it didn 't disappoint at all. We love supporting small, local businesses and think that we 'll definitely be back sevaral times in the near future! Thank you! Vegetarian options: There are a few vegetarian options like Burrito Loco, or you can hold the meat on other dishes. Parking: Parking is just a very short walk down the street and is paid during the day, but free after 5pm.

Horchata! Horcata! Horcata! The best drink I have ever tasted. Update: last time I went here they stopped making homemade horchata. ?

Delicious authentic Mexican! The Quesadilla Tarasca with pork Al pastor was extremely good and I loved being able to have some solid deep fried Mexican food gluten free. The tamale could use a little less dough or more meat and a little more sauce but the flavor was good! Vegetarian options: Not too many, although my vegetarian dad was able to get a vegetarian Quesadilla Tarasca Dietary restrictions: They seem to have a decent awareness of gluten and have plenty of options with corn tortillas!

Excellent real Mexican food. Will be back!!Updated, stylish indoor decor. Nice.

Absolutely horrible. Ordered the taquitos with lettuce and tomato. This is what I received. The taquitos were filled with dry, flavorless chicken that had no marinade, seasoning or spices. Topped with a quarter sized whole piece of tomato. It tasted like my Irish grandmother made Mexican food. Never again.
