My family has been coming to El Tarasco for a long time. There are several Mexican restaurants in…read moreSebastopol, and we've been to all of them. This is my daughter's favorite, and in her top three favorite places to eat anywhere. We come to El Tarasco almost weekly, as tradition, on Sundays after my daughter's horseback riding. The family who owns the restaurant knows us well and knows all our regular orders. There are a few things that El Tarasco does really well. Their housemade salsa's, their chips, and their carnitas. It is my favorite carnitas taco around! I also really like the Diego Special. I feel like some of their dishes have changed over the years, but they have stayed consistent for the last 20 or so years I've been coming here. The ambiance is simple, but it's comfortable. They have a tv and sports playing most of the time. They are a great, small business and I will continue to support them for years to come!

OMG. This place is amazing. I love the food and the service. Prices are reasonable. There is a good…read moreselection of food. I personally love the carnitas an, soup, and the shrimp tostadas.

Was recommended Viva due to having GF tortillas as it's difficult finding when the burrito cravings…read morekick in, and well today was the day I got to check them out (after 40 yrs they been in business)! Got the marinated chicken burrito (GF in which was verbally stated to the cooks) and let me tell you- the flavor was popping that I scarfed the burrito down. Unfortunately, due to the wetness of the meat, beans, and salsa, the tortilla ended up ripping apart half way through and then got pretty messy... finger licking good if you know what I mean. As I was waiting for my food I overheard another patron order the coconut horchata (what?!!!) the lovely owner (who is very accommodating and sweet) gave me a sample; oh, it was phenomenal. I cannot tell you how excited I am to already return to try more items from their menu. Ps: in the evenings they serve Persian food. Indoor and outdoor patio dinning avalible, easy located off Hwy116 outside downtown Seb, with decent parking spots in front.

We have not been here for a while. Nice little place in Sebastopol. We went at 3 pm and there was…read morenobody in the restaurant. Of course, the service was excellent. We sat in the back patio, and my wife ordered a Sangria, and I just had water. The Sangria was tasty and just a hint of sweetness that I liked, but my wife wasn't as big a fan. She likes sour more than sweet. She ordered the Chili Relleno, and I ordered their special Relleno De Picadillo with Mild Poblano pepper stuffed with ground chuck, ground pork, sweet peas, carrots, potatoes, almonds, cranberries, a touch of chipotle and red wine, covered with our creamy ranchera sauce and Jack cheese. We have always liked their standard Chili Relleno, and today was no exception. It tasted fresh with lots of gooey cheese. My Relleno De Picadillo was sweeter than I thought. Then I re-read the ingredients and duh, sweet peas, carrot and cranberries. I liked it, but would have to be in the mood for a sweet Chili Relleno. It tastes similar to our stuffed bell peppers, which we sometimes do at home. It was large and tasty, but you have to be in the mindset of a little sweeter and not savoury. The salad, beans and rice were good. I love the back patio, fresh air and decorations.

It's the beans--the whole beans especially--that knock my socks off every time. Buttery soft…read morewithout falling apart, they are the beans I compare all other beans to. They nail it on all textures, really, and isn't that why we all love Mexican food, no matter your spice tolerance? What's supposed to be crunchy is crunchy, what's supposed to be crispy is crisp, what's supposed to be soft is soft, and you'll never find those weird chewy bits in the meat that no one likes. Flavors are bright and fresh...you will never wonder if you are eating yesterday's lettuce. And the guac rocks. On top of that, they are just a darling family. So glad they are part of our Forestville community! Did I mention the beans? So perfect

Odd vibe, lady took my order maybe the owner snapped at me was not nice, but realized it and was…read moreoverly nice. She patted my burrito with her hand before handing it to me.

So I rolled the dice given the reviews and came out on top! First things first, the food. Overall…read morethe food was very good. Ingredients fresh and made to order. Started with basic burrito and added avacado, and potatoes. Solid choice. What I did see before and can now confirm is the red salsa is fire!! Not super hot but really tasty. Like I had four salsa containers full lol. Service: was great. Greeted when I entered, order taken. Overall very nice and fast. The inside decor was sorta confusing for a Mexican cuisine joint. Place was pretty clean but the decor just throws it off. I would recommend to have a meal there just can't speak for meat based food options as I'm a vegetarian.
