The is our first time here and we have to say, it's going to be a regular place! We've lived in Fort Collins for a long time and I wish we would she's tried Los Tarascos immediately. WOW. Food. Service. Drinks. Vibes. ALL SO GOOD. anyway, very please. Bre was amazing. read more

Yelp defines 2 star reviews as "meh I've had better" and that is exactly what I thought when coming here. I have eaten here twice now, and I come from the west coast so my expectation for mexican food is high. There food is expensive for the portion size you get and for being a sit down experience. The one benefit of coming here is a chips and salsa bar which is complimentary with the meal, although the salsa are bland in my opinion it is still a nice gesture given by the restaurant. The wait staff was friendly. If you are from Colorado then this joint will probably fix your craving for Mexican food, but if you are from California you'll probably find the flavors and portions lack luster. read more

This is our go to Mexican restaurant. Amazing food. Friendly staff. Awesome salsa bar. I've never liked margaritas until I had one here. It was so good. Sundays are 1/2 priced drinks for men. That's a rare find. Great atmosphere. Great patio dining during the warm evenings. read more

First time I order from here. It was great. Had the chicken tacos. I went in to pick up my order and the place looks nice. Since it was take out, I have very little to say about the service except that they forgot to include eating utensils. But the food was very good also the salsas. I tried them all. read more

Got to try this place out for their happy hour and wow was it good! Although I did not get the full experience I will be sure to go back. I got a margarita, chips with salsa, and lastly an appetizer, all the options were very good. One thing that really stood out was there were multiple different salsas you could taste and all of them were pretty different but all high quality and FREE!!!! Last off the staff was great, very friendly, helpful, and fun during our experience the owner even came over and interacted with us multiple times and you could tell this was a leader that the staff liked. read more

So me, my girlfriend, and my brother and his fiancé came to Los Tarascos because we had just gotten done rafting and the local guides recommended it for their Sunday 2-1 special for margaritas and while the experience was going so-so and the food / drinks was good, I leaned over to get a bite of my friends enchilada and the chair completely snapped on its leg leaving me to fall in front of the entire restaurant. While the staff did not ask if I was okay (although I was bleeding), they were very quick to remove the chair and immediately take it to the back to remove the evidence. As a "courtesy", they comped a few items, but left a $65 tab. When Gema (the manager) came back she said "I'm sorry we have these janky ass chairs, that's on me, I need to replace them". When she came back my girlfriend said it wasn't very respectful that she didn't cover the whole tab, she said "well it's a free country so stay and have your margaritas and do whatever you want." Pictures attached of chair and my knee. Good atmosphere and food but unfortunately a poor display of professionalism and hospitality. read more

Best authentic Mexican food downtown! Had the shrimp cocktail, chicken fajitas, and carnitas burrito.

I can't have a spec of gluten and I have eaten safely here at least 10 times. Menu has gf items marked and they use a separate fryer for the chips. Their salsa bar is also gf. Cilantro is my favorite. Like white queso dip? Order the los torascos sauce with your chips. I always order the carne asada, It's amazing!! And the Paloma margarita is also a must have.(limit 2) read more

I had lunch with friends a Los Tarascos- my first time to eat here! They have several tables out front on the sidewalk which would be fun and provides a view of Old Town Fort Collins street life. Inside is an old-style Mexican Restaurant decor and vibe. Our server was great and took good care of us. My friends introduced me to the salsa bar which is a highlight of the offerings. The cilantro salsa was my favorite. Little paper cups are provided for our use. The chips were tasty and hot. After eating my weight in chips and salsas, I ordered chiliquilas for my main dish. They were good and a little dry - could have used some green chili sauce. They tasted good and I enjoyed my experience here very much. I tend to judge Mexican restaurants based on how tasty their retried beans are. Los Tarascos passed that test with flying colors! read more

The food here is pretty good. The recipes for many of the entrees seem a bit unusual which can be both good and bad. I had tacos and stocked up at the salsa bar. I thought the green salsas were good and hot. A plus! My partner had a burrito which instead being smothered in a green chile sauce had a sour cream sauce on it. It didn't taste too bad to me but he thought the sauce was just a bit too unusual for him to really like the dish. I liked the bite myself that I had from his dish but agreed I wasn't too sure I would want all of that all over my burrito and have it smothered in that fashion. The flan that I had for dessert was pretty good and the atmosphere was nice and interesting. Margaritas were decent. Los Tarascos was all in all not a bad meal but it didn't make on my admittedly stringent list of top Mexican restaurants that I would frequent often. read more

The food was good, service was terrible. We received the queso before the chips ever came out. Had to ask for water to be refilled and our ticket. They did not appear to be short staffed as there were several workers hanging around the front desk, just terrible service. Go if you have a lot of time on your hands. read more

Service was horrible and slow - food not that great...will never eat here again! After finally receiving the food and drinks we ordered our sopapillas to go and that took forever as well - maybe your experience will be better!!! read more

My new favorite Mexican restaurant in FC. I've been to nearly every one in town and this place beats most of them hands down. More authentic, spicier, better-tasting food. Finally, another place in town with strong margs but better food. Chicken mole is a difficult dish for most Mexican restaurants in this area, so I use it as my barometer. It was the best I've had in this area by far. Their salsas are really flavorful. We ordered a lot of food to see what they could do. No fails, not one. Everything was top-notch. Service was attentive and friendly. Prices were very reasonable. The booths are comfortable, the place is clean. I rate Mexican restaurants based on my several trips to six different areas of Mexico and my use of well-known (Diane Kennedy) Mexican cookbooks at home. I am seeking authenticity to a particular region. Senor Camaron had it, Inca has it with some of their food. Give this place a try! read more

THIS PLACE HAS A SALSA BAR! Over 10 different types of salsa all varying in heat. The food is always consistently good, I love the enchiladas! That is always my go to on this menu. The Margaritas are incredible but holy smokes are they strong. Be careful! Happy hour is incredible, pitchers of margaritas are a must! Just a little outside of Old Town so perfect location for a day out in Fort Collins. read more

What a great spot. I love margaritas and they've got two of the best: cucumber and also jalapeño.

Want a damn good margarita? GO HERE.We got the Cadillac Pitcher and wow. So fresh and well balanced. I'm not even a fan of margaritas but these were just perfect. The food was also fantastic. I got the shrimp acapulcos enchiladas. Atmosphere, margs, food, service...just everything is delicious. In fact, I think I will go there today during happy hour to get another pitcher:) Oh and also the salsa bar is phenominal. The cilantro salsa=orgasm in my mouth. read more

We had our first in restaurant meal in months tonight at Los Tarascos. It was recommended by our checkout gal at Trader Joe's. What a great experience! Sam was our waiter and he was great. He actually listened to us and didn't miss a beat! Thanks Sam! The food was great too. We ordered guac and chips and had 2 different salsas, then I had Carnitas Uruapan and my husband had Chili Verde. Everything was amazing. Thank you Sam and Los Tarascos for a great first night back to dining out!! read more

Los Tarascos - Carnitas Uruapan - Mexican Near Me - Fort Collins, Colorado

Great burritos. Lots of good flavors in their food. A Little bit pricey but my dad bought so I didn't care!!

September 20, 2020 Tonight, we decided to eat out for the first time in quite a while. We were excited to go back to Los Tarascos, which we have frequented for the last 10 years at least for family dinners and date nights. We had a group of 7, with 4 adults and three children (8 yo, 2yo, 1yo.). We arrived and were seated in their back area by the bar and kitchen. This booth was perfect given our larger party and children. We ordered drinks, then shortly after ordered dinner. Dinner took a bit to get out, no biggie. Kids were loud but nothing abnormal or anything more than I would expect. We were away from most of the patrons and didn't feel we were out of line. Our dinner was delivered, the group ate and we were enjoying the end our dinner when the "manager" approached me and said, "we have had multiple noise complaints about your children." I felt as though we had been discriminated against because of our children at this point but took it in stride and asked for our check. Meanwhile, they had tabled a large party of young adults next to us that were loudly speaking cuss words and specifically the F word. We paid and expressed our sincere concern with the service provided. I am truly sad to say we will not be back after the concern expressed regarding our children. Kids will be louder than expected at times. One time during the dinner another child screeched out and we joked that it was part of our party at a different table. I did attempt to discuss our concerns with a manager and the concerns were unheard and dismissed. Please note we feel Los Tarascos was a great place for your family to get dinner, but now, if you intend to take children to this restaurant you might be asked to leave because of them. It will not be tolerated and you will be asked to change your children's volume level and ultimately leave. We are deeply saddened by our loss of great restaurant to include La Buena Vida to go to but can't keep going to a restaurant that won't take our kiddos. read more

My wife ordered a meal from here and asked for no beans but the order was messed up. And once she called back the manager was extremely rude and made it seem as if we ordered incorrectly. read more

Los Tarascos - Two enchiladas, with beans that have spread all over into the rice and over the enchiladas. - Mexican Near Me - Fort Collins, Colorado

¡You had me at Hola! Any Celiac falls in love with a restaurant when their standard menu has gluten free entrees designated with a GF right on it, and even more so when the delicious meal is followed by zero gluten reactions. I had the enchiladas tricolor and each sauce was unique and flavorful. The salsa bar in the back is killer, and of course the margs are excellent. 100% returning, recommending to friends, and spreading the gluten friendly word around FoCo! read more

I came here with a friend who told me this was one of the best Mexican restaurants in Ft. Collins. Being from Southern CA, I had my hesitations. They didn't prove me wrong. I ordered the 2 cheese enchilada plate, one with red sauce and one with green sauce. I was told they're known for their enchiladas, and that's my favorite Mexican food dish. If that's the case, that's pretty sad. The cheese was hard. It was more like a solid block with tortillas wrapped around it. There was barely any sauce for either enchilada. They were pretty dry. I will say that the staff is very friendly, and the margaritas were pretty good. I would come here again for happy hour, but not for another meal. They also have a pretty good salsa bar. read more

Thank you to Los Tarascos for providing free food on 3/30/20 to those of us in the medical field. We know you were slammed and we placed a large order for employees working in the emergency department. The food was delicious! I, along with my coworkers, greatly appreciate your gesture and I will definitely be supporting you in the future! read more

The restaurant it self has nice ambiance, the hostess was polite and nice, the same is our waitress and that I think nice things end up right there ... The food is weird for Mexican good. First of all never in my life have I had beef fajitas with the meat not having been grilled. That's beef was cooked in some sort of sauce and the meat was stewed not grilled ... For kids we got tacos, enchilada and tamales , all of there food were mushy and did I forgot to mention that waitress forgot to bring each of it for kids, she just got one of each for kid. Green chilly didn't have flavor and burrito was mushy as well. My husband was really unhappy with food and he know what is good Mexican food. He gives 0 stars for this place and made to wright review Two stars from me only for the waitress, ambiance and cleanliness. read more

Los Tarascos - This is a beef fajitas - Mexican Near Me - Fort Collins, Colorado

You have to understand that my family & I love great Mexican food. We go to several excellent places near where we live. However, we were in Ft Collins visiting our son at CSU, and were looking for a good Mexican place. Long story short, my beef fajitas (skirt steak) were just okay, with 3 tortilla shells & adequate amounts of fixings'. My wife's bean burrito was good, but my son's "crispy" Chile rellenos were soggy & inedible. The frozen margaritas were decent. Overall, a disappointing meal. read more

Los T's, never a bad experience! I come in from time to time, sometimes with friends and often alone. The wait staff is phenomenal, food is excellent (never greasy or oily) and the Margaritas are BOMB AF! Luis is always my server: prompt, polite, and always cheerful. He doesn't make you feel like a jerk for not knowing how to order in Spanish. Folks, I hate seeing this place empty at lunch time, so call in your friends and make reservations for work meetings! Salsa bar? To die for! There's something for everyone here, and none of the salsa is onion flavored lava. At least get your limit of margs, which is 2, because they pack a punch without a sugary stomach ache! Final word: Sopapilla. If you haven't had it here, you owe it to your taste buds and spare tire. Do it for the children! read more

The unique menu brought me here. The food and friendly service will bring me back. Chips are served fresh and they are nice and thick, very tasty. Then there is the excellent self serve salsa bar for those of us that like variety, lacking my favorite Pico de Gallo I just mixed a bunch of onions and cilantro in with the chunkiest salsa there and all was good. I judge all Mexican restaurants mostly by their Chile Relleno and refried beans. Never heard of a Relleno with mushrooms so that's what I had. It was huge as far as Relleno's go and very tasty. Not so true of the refried beans and chicken enchilada, somewhat lacking flavor. Can't wait to go back and try more specials. read more

So So good!! Shocked only 3.5 stars on yelp. Our group of 5 loved all our meals. The salsa bar was a nice and great tasting surprise. We live in Denver and thinking of coming back already. It was nice inside and server was nice and helpful too! Food is expensive but worth it! read more

I ordered online and paid for chips and salsa. I called because I had requested pico de Gallo as a special request and wanted to ensure that was okay. I was told by an employee that it was alright and that was it. When I received my order I got no chips so I asked can I please get my chips. I was then told no I couldn't because when I got the pico de Gallo I said on the phone I'd be fine without chips, which NEVER happened. I then asked to speak to someone else a woman came out who I was told was the owner. She proceeded to tell me "they don't give free things out here" and I need to "pay for my stuff" when I PAID. She then told me a side of pico de Gallo was $2 and I needed to pay it. I told her no it's not it's $1 on your online ordering which she said was wrong. I then returned to my vehicle to look it up and it was $1, I then went back to show her where she completely disregarded it and told me I was rude. I did love this place, but their customer service is horrible. Especially over chips and salsa, which is usually free if you dine there. never will be coming back read more

Good food and staff, great experience for me and my family. I definitely recommend coming to enjoy a meal you won't regret the Mexican food is good read more

Checking out the university and medical facilities. We ran across a young man during Cheyenne Frontier Days who just moved from Ft Collins, and asked him where the best Mexican restaurant was, and he recommended Los Tarascos. It is a Michoacán family restaurant. Everything is stepped up and updated for the American palette and trendy setting. The salsas were great, the margarita was just right, our server was very sweet, the food came out quickly, the place was clean. The food was tasty - your meal will not disappoint, I promise. I would give it 5 stars, but I cannot because I must compare it to other Mexican restaurants that are truly authentic. read more

I was up in Ft Collins and was looking for an eatery and ended up here. It was nice enough day to eat outside so we did. Patio facing College so plenty to watch. Close to campus and there is a row of places to eat. There is a salsa bar which had some nice choices from mild to hot. Our waitress steered us right. Margaritas were quite good. Food was very good too. My creamy shrimp with tortillas was excellent (tortillas from local bakery). He was happy with his chicken enchiladas Large dining room but parking along College is tight. read more

Great service!! We love the free salsa bar and the house made chips. The margaritas were good and tasted like real fruit- couldn't taste the tequila so either weak or well hidden. My steak tacos were a little overdone but everything else was great! read more

This place is not the same like I used to love to go there because best margarita and food so I recently went there and its not the same. Price is expensive, I ordered carne asada plate without rice and bean so they got me a very small carne asada with burnt and salad is very simple just lettuce and tomato. Not even included guacamole so I asked them the menu said included guacamole and they said oh sorry. Seriously their price is insane, food is not the same, margarita is not the same. Everything is changed. I dont know what happens to that restaurant. Sorry that I will not come back again. So far INCA restaurant in Fort Collins is very good and food/price are good deal. read more
