This place was a disappointment. The service was non existent, the waitress was rude and didn't seem happy to see us, she never came to take our order we had to summon her after about 15 min. The food...... I don't know where to begin. 1. The toco shells were out of a box not made fresh. 2. The Mexican pizza was more like a nacho casserole and yucky. 3. We ordered the Mexican pizza with chicken but it came with ground beef. I am no fan of Taco Bell but if I had a choice between the two I'd take Taco Bell. I live in a farming community that has more Mexican restaurants than Seattle has Starbucks so I know a bit about Mexican cook'n. Our experience was bad, maybe if I had visited their bar first and slugged down 7-8 double shots of tequila the food may have tasted better but at that point you'd eat a tic tac off the bathroom floor. I hope your experience will be better than ours. read more

The best restaurant in the Rogue Valley period. 25 years of consistent quality. The new restaurant is kind of hidden in town and the locals want to keep it to themselves but it is worth the drive. Crab enchiladas are real crab and the Sunset margaritas are the best margaritas ever invented. read more

We've been eating at this family style restaurant for over 20 yrs. It is that family style that greets you with a smile, knows exactly how you like your food. What your favorites are. That calls you by name and treats you like part of the family. Even take out orders are thoughtfully packed. My new addiction is the crunchy picadillo tacos... little chunks of spicy pot roast, that melt in your mouth. Adds a little heat to the work work, Thank you Juan,Maria & Angela read more

Tarasco is never a disappointment. Delicious, authentic food. The service is always superb! The staff always makes sure your visit is a good experience. read more

Tarasco Mexican Restaurant - Cheese and onion enchilada. It is huge! - Mexican Near Me - Rogue River, Oregon

If you like good Mexican food and huge portions, it's worth hopping off the freeway to stop here. The restaurant doesn't stand out as anything special, but their food is fantastic. I had their "appetizer" quesadilla and it took up the whole plate. read more

I ate here once before I moved here Hoping the local Mexican restaurant would be awesome. It wasn't...., the rice was wet and soggy and the salsa was bad. read more

Always exceptional service by very considerate and kind employees. My favorite is the "Steak Fajita Burrito and Margarita" always a great meal. I've brought larger groups including my family in and they are all pleased with the meals and comfortable space to sit. I've also been to Taco Tuesday and it's worth making a religious appearance at this restaurant. They also have a New Menu with some great additions! read more

I went there last night and it was pretty empty which concerned me at first. Decided on a marg otr with salt. It was delicious! I ordered nachos w ground beef and they were excellent! The waiter and bar tender were both great. Highly recommend! read more

Great food, great service and a really clean restaurant. Staying in the area for a month so definitely will be back. Salsa was excellent.

My sister, mom and I go to Tarascos at least 2X a week. My 95 year old mom loves the margaritas (so do we). Juan, owner, and everyone else that works there is fabulous. Juan always has a smile on his face and very energetic. We love everything about Tarascos. read more

Not the best but Sunday and Monday not much to choose from. Ordered chicken got beef. Bit over cooked and not as flavorful as most. Wouldn't go back. read more

I went there today (actually it was on 11/25) on my way up North. The Chicken burrito was awesome. Great sauce, juicy meat, refried beans and rice. Service quick and friendly. I got a warm feeling that owner really cares about the customers! read more

We have been here twice. The tacos and the nachos were very good. The margaritas are great and at a good price! Service is excellent!

Came here after reading the reviews. We were not disappointed. I had the Machaca con Huevos, lots of meat but a little bland. Salsa added great flavor. Hubby had the Chili Colorado Burrito and said it was wonderful. Our server, Kat was the best!! read more

Very nice place. Friendly staff. Food is excellent and prices are reasonable! I like the new location downtown Rogue River.

Tarasco's is hands down my favorite Mexican restaurant! They are very friendly, the restaurant is extremely clean and the new building they moved to has lots of space so there's never a long wait. Try their Drinkers margaritas if you're looking for a good margarita, they're delicious! & the Chile relleno is my go to order, every time. (: read more

Food was good. Ordered the Chile relleno and it was pretty good. Salsa is good and I would come back.

We were a group of 11 who had lunch together. Fabulous service, delicious food, separate checks(!!!!); what's not to like? We'll be back for more. :-) read more

Nice, cozy place for some decent food. Right off the bat though I have to drop a couple of stars as we stood at the door for several minutes before someone came out and took us to a booth. I could see this as normal for a busy night but this was mid week and the place was practically empty with only 1 or 2 booths occupied. I had the steak tampiquena and while the flavors were good I think for the price the portion was really rather small. My girlfriend had the Colorado deluxe tostada Texas style and she said it was pretty good. Again it looked rather small to me. The portion was filling but I would normally expect to have leftovers to take home for the price we paid. I will give them another chance only if I don't care for the food at our other local place across the bridge. read more

There's only two reasons I'll write a review. The place is either really good or really bad, of which both deserve ratings and reviews. I guess you can tell by the five stars what this review is about. Not many customers when we arrived but the staff appeared to be ready to serve all. We had blended margaritas which were decent. I had the tacos al pastor. I knew from the description they were not true al pastor. But they were delicious. Double shelled tacos packed full of tender tasty meat. There were three tacos. I'm a big eater but I had a hard time getting it all down, but I wasn't gonna waste any. She had a beef quesadilla which she claims was the best ever. It also was packed full of meat. We have eaten in a lot of good Mexican restaurants but I think Tarasco do far is Number One. And the place was pretty clean. read more

There was one server present for the ENTIRE restaurant. We had to wait over an hour for mediocre food.

We eat here pretty regularly and enjoy the food. We generally share the fajitas. The refried beans are authentic and probably have lard and epispola in them the have a hot and mild salsa for your chip sining but you have ask for both if that is what you want. read more

Maybe it's because I am from San Diego where there's a different standard for Mexican food. The food was just barely OK. Although, the ground beef in my taco and enchilada wasn't great and the Chile Rellano egg batter were all weird. The drinks were very good and the beans and rice were very decent. The staff was very friendly. The decor could use some sprucing up. Overall, we were somewhat satisfied. read more

Great place to eat - don't let it fool you that it's tucked away and might even say 'hole in the wall. As locals we had not taken advantage of in some time. I remembered having chicken tortilla soup here quite a few years ago and it was wonderful, so opted for take-out during covid and happy to say we were pleasantly surprised again! The enchiladas were great as was the Carne Asada. Good little spot! read more

First, the food was great! Four of us w varied dishes and all exclaimed how much we liked them (I was the only one who'd been there before). And second, we'd come in shortly before closing, but Juan treated us as if he had all the time in the world! Great place, freeway close, totally worth it. read more

This is the ideal place to stop, Just blocks from Interstate five, the food is amazing and the service is even better! The carne asada is amazing. read more

"Meh. I've experienced better." That sums up this evenings visit, first time there. Very nice staff, prompt and courteous, and a cute little place. A little noisy, but very clean and cute. My Cheese Enchilada was just...meh. Not bad tasting, but not particularly good either. Both it, the rice, and the beans were very bland. Hubby ordered the Pollo Diablo, and he said the "diablo sauce" was more like bottled BBQ sauce, with no spices. He added the whole bowl of salsa to try to spice it up, and brought most of it home for a tune-up. On a bright note, he said the chicken was tasty, and well cooked, and lots of mushrooms. If I was starving, and there was nothing else open, and I couldn't drive another 15 minutes to get home and eat, I would go there again. read more

This is my favorite Mexican restaurant. I usually get the crab enchiladas or Mole enchiladas. Both are super yummy.

Passing through and found this place on yelp. Got a to go order that didn't take too long. Very well wrapped for takeout eating. A Pork Verde Burrito plate that was delicious. Everything I wanted in Mexican food. Beans were well seasoned and gooey with cheese. Rice was tasty and fluffy. Pork was tender and surrounded by a soft flour tortillas, smothered in Verde sauce. Yum. We also tried a shredded beef chimichanga. The meat again was tender and flavorful while the tortilla had a joyous crunch. Chips and salsa were also great. The only thing negative is how far away they are to where I live. Love to come back when done in is available. read more

This is a good Mexican Restraunt I've prolly eaten here 20 times and never gotten a bad meal... The staff is always friendly the food is good and fair priced It's been around for nearly 20 years so that should also tell you something Thanks for all the good food read more

The food is great and the service is always good as well. I like their Tortilla soup and their enchiladas. Their new location had a lot of room. I've been going there for over 16 years. read more

Recently moved to Rogue River & Tarasco was one of the first places in town that we tried. Mexican food is one of our favorite dining out choices, so, we tend to be picky. This restaurant immediately passed our repeat customer requirements with the fresh chips, attentive, friendly service & delicious food. Have been back multiple times now & tried several dishes & so far, have not been disappointed. The Chile Rellano's, carnitas, tortilla soup, asada plate & tampiquena with chicken enchilada have all been tasty with satisfying portions. The unexpected cinnamon & whipped cream tortilla dessert was a nice surprise & is the perfect finish to cure a little sweet tooth after a flavorful meal. read more

decided to stop in for dinner after driving by. We got seated after about 10 minutes in a quieter area. Service was great and super fast. Everyone was super upbeat and food was amazing! I had the cheese enchiladas and they were sooooo good. I also had a strawberry daiquiri which was huge and tasted fabulous! read more

Our favorite Mexican restaurant for take out during this quarantine. Juan and his sister are amazing people. The food is wonderful! Good place to relax on taco a Tuesday or any day! read more

Food and the service is great. One problem is having the bus boy's pants hanging really low.

This little Mexican restaurant just off of I5 in Rogue River is an integral part of the community supporting my nieces and nephews (two generations now) in their local sports teams. The people are friendly and customer service is a priority. Top it all off with excellent food. We have celebrated all of our family milestones birthdays graduations etc there. I would like to compliment the cook. Everything I have ever had there was good. A well run business as many others in town have come and gone. So to sum it up a restaurant deserving of community support, (I can't believe someone complained about noise from employees cars) with excellent Mexican food. We are fortunate to have it in our little town. read more

I was part of a group of 20 people; a reservation for same was made at Tarasco. The restaurant chose to assign ONE waitress for our party of 20. Taking our orders took 30 minutes, then we had an HOUR wait for food. The same sole waitress brought our meals out two at a time. Do the math, that's 10 trips to our table. No one was pleased. My wife ordered a VEGETARIAN enchilada. The waitress came back to check that she had that her order correct. My wife was served last, and was served a BEEF enchilada. The beef looked like fresh poo. SO, despite checking with my wife TWICE, they still got it wrong. Everyone in our party had finished BEFORE my wife got her order done correctly. Stay away from this joke of a restaurant; this was an epic fail on the part of Tarasco Mexican Restaurant. It is a horrible place. Spend your hard-earned money somewhere else. read more

Went here a month ago.....never again. I'm new to the area so I thought i would try it. The staff looked as if they would rather be anywhere else but there. The food was made quickly, but tasted like junk. The meat tasted like it was cheap ground meat, that was cooked the day before, stuck in the fridge and then heated up in the pan again. Hard to explain, but you know the taste right? Food was so bad I didn't even finish my beer, and for me, that says alot! Never again. read more

Excellent Mexican restaurant. Lots of good food to choose from. Hotels give out coupon cards which was great too. We had steak fajitas and steak quesadilla. Didn't get sick later which is a huge plus ha ha. We had enough to take back to our hotel too. For two the price was $30 and they serve a free little dessert too. It's also very close to the interstate which is great if you're traveling! read more
