A man does not stumble upon a place like El Torasco by accident. He arrives hungry from the…read moreroad--sunburned perhaps, a little tired, and in need of something honest. The door opens. Warm air scented with roasted chiles and grilled carne asada greets you like an old friend who knows exactly what you came for. The room hums softly--families, laughter, plates arriving with quiet authority. No pretension. No theatrics. Just the confident rhythm of a kitchen that understands its purpose. The salsa arrives first. Bright. Alive. The sort of salsa that makes you pause mid-conversation and look down at the bowl with respect. Then the meal. Enchiladas wrapped in velvet-soft tortillas. Rice with the quiet depth of slow simmering. Beans rich enough to remind you that comfort can be served on a plate. And the margarita--cold, unapologetic, perfectly balanced--arrives like punctuation at the end of a long day. You sit back. The noise of the world recedes. This is not simply dinner. It is the rare satisfaction of a place that does exactly what it promises--and does it well. Five stars.

I ordered a deluxe burrito with shredded beef! I honestly did not like my food. The taste wasn't great & there were large chunks of fat still on the beef. Overall, these place has cute vibes and I love how breezy and open the restaurant is. I love how they open the side up so the store still gets airflow & all the Hermosa passerby traffic. I probably wouldn't come back here for Mexican food.

I just stopped at this restaurant for a snack on a Tuesday afternoon. I saw on yelp that they had a…read moretaco Tuesday thing going. The salsa and chips were great! The taco Dorado was OK but I really like the street taco with the Carnitas. I used up all the salsa from the first order. So I asked can I get some more salsa? What kind of bothered me was that the waiter should say the next order of salsa they charge which I had no idea. It's just a matter of principle that he could've told me! The bottom line it's all good and I know in the future. I would still come back to this place. And I really like their patio!

Order: two asada tacos; chicken flautas and asada burrito…read more The tacos were full of meat and great flavor, the green salsa was just spicey enough and the lime brought it all together. The flautas were not bad - packed with chicken but a little dry with little flavor. They needed a lot of juice from the limes and salsa which was ok but not great. The burrito was made perfectly to order, and very good. A decent size and filling. Each of the orders came with enough salsa and consume that made each dish extra flavorful. Yummy place all around

Walked past this place on my way to the beach and I just had to come back and try it!…read more Ordered 4 tacos dorados de birria (really they're quesabirrias). They were absolutely delicious. The tacos are nice and crispy and have a generous amount of cheese and meat. I'm sure they're good on their own, but I feel you can't enjoy birria tacos without lime, salsa, and a good dunking into the consome. The tacos came with an acidic green salsa and a red spicy salsa, both taste great. They also give you two slices of lemon, which is honestly enough for the tacos. I think the only way they could improve this plate is by adding a bit of extra cilantro and onion or radish on the side. Service was good. I was attended to quickly at the counter and had my tacos in like 5 mins. Given, I came while it was slow (12pm, weekday). The restaurant is small, but there's seating indoors and outdoors. I grabbed my food to-go and honestly I'd do it again to enjoy it on the beach. Definitely would come back!

I rarely eat breakfast out, but this past weekend I was walking by on a Saturday morning and…read morethought a breakfast burrito might be the move. I stopped in to Guisados and ordered the Chuleta con Chile Verde - pork chop in chile verde with crema, diced tomatoes, onions, and jalapeño over scrambled eggs. My wife ordered the Mexicana - diced tomato, onions, and jalapeño scrambled with eggs and topped with salsa and queso amarillo. We took them to go since we were almost back to the car. By the time I got home, I was pretty hungry. When I opened the bag, I found what were essentially kid sized burritos. Even my wife immediately commented on how small they were. Definitely one of the smallest burritos I have ever had. The flavor was good, actually very good, and the sauce was solid. Unfortunately that was also portioned light, with the container only about half full. No chips with the burritos, and they were $10.50 each, which was higher than the listed online price. Bottom line, the taste delivers but the portion does not. Barely three stars

Also, tricky parking lot getting in and out. Indoor seating for small groups only.

Everything tasted incredibly fresh and perfectly seasoned. We ordered the carne asada and carnitas, and both were amazing. The meat was tender, flavorful, and not fatty at all just perfectly cooked and packed with flavor. My daughter had the bean and cheese burrito with rice and beans and loved it too. They bring out three different salsas with the chips, and each one had its own unique flavor. You can tell the chips are house-made because they're fresh, crisp, and just really good. Some Mexican restaurants can make things overly salty, but everything here tasted balanced and fresh. I also had a Paloma and it was made perfectly. Before we left we decided to try the churros and I'm so glad we did. They were filled with this amazing cream and came with a caramel sauce for dipping. I'm not usually a big dessert person, but these were seriously incredible. Great location, great service, amazing food, and everything tasted fresh and well made. We will definitely be back!

Service was very friendly and attentive and we were promptly seated and served fresh chips along with a trio of salsas which were fresh and had the perfect levels of spice. My son had the kids enchilada and enjoyed his meal. I ordered 3 tacos from the à la carte menu. The chicken was fine but the fish and shrimp were undercooked and I couldn't eat them, which is why I deducted the one star. The other deduction was for the underwhelming flavors in the meals themselves. Usually when a Mexican restaurant had amazing salsa, the same vibe carries through with the entrees , but unfortunately it wasn't my experience. I would probably try once more and edit my review based on a second experience.

I came here for dinner on a Sunday night and my experience here was pretty good! My family and I shared the following dishes: -Chicken and Steak Fajitas: The meat was flavorful and tender. They came with warm homemade tortillas and it was tasty. -Chicken Taquitos: These were tasty, but a little less crunchy than I would like for my taquitos. -Chicken Enchiladas: Solid, saucy, and cheesy. -Chicken Tamale: Also solid and moist. -Shrimp Fajitas: Plump shrimp and tasty. -Chips and Salsa: Tasty and crunchy and I love the heat from the salsa. Birthday Flan: Creamy, custardy, and not too sweet. Honestly, there were no misses here. Everything was tasty, flavorful, and nothing was too dry. The prices were also good and not too overpriced for Mexican food considering the area. The service here was pretty good and efficient. Parking is metered parking. The food here was not mind-blowing and I would still opt for other places though. However, it is a solid pick for a restaurant and Mexican food in Manhattan Beach.
