El Tarasco (Rosecrans)
4.6 (979)restaurant
4.6 (979)Hearty, homestyle Mexican cooking served from the snug counter spot where this South Bay institution first opened.
Description
The Rosecrans Avenue location dates to 1969, when Moises and Celia put their home savings into a tiny restaurant after eloping in Michoacán. Despite being told it was a bad idea, they launched with little more than a grill and a counter, focused from the start on serving filling, homemade Mexican meals at a reasonable price. That original Manhattan Beach spot still stands today, remaining under family ownership.
