Delicious food. Had four birria tacos & four quesabirrias, coffee & chocoflan to finish. Give them a chance & you will leave with the ITIS & be ready to relax. Excellent customer service & good music vibes.

J'ai mangé un excellent pozole & leur gâteau tres leches est à tomber par terre. Cela goûte le fait maison dans le meilleur du sens. Les tacos sont aussi excellents. Restaurant familial & chaleureux.
On a goûté aux quesabirrias, tacos carnitas & les enchiladas rojas. Gros coup de coeur pour les quesabirria!! Tellement juteuses & savoureuses. Les tacos de carnitas m'ont surpris parce que c'est pas ce que je préfère normalement mais ça & les enchiladas j'ai beaucoup aimé aussi. Tout goûte frais, ça paraît que c'est un restaurant familial, vraiment authentique. Je recommande définitivement
Came for 25$ all you can eat, & it's probably the best all you can eat deal in Montréal right now. Amazing tacos & you must get the horchata it's amazing with the tacos.

The carnitas tacos are super flavourful & tender, & the birria is absolutely delicious. Highly recommend if you're craving authentic Mexican food. Also the 7$promo are such a great deal. Thank you!! Ps. Don't miss the chocoflan!! 🤤🤤
Wow! Le Tarasco, c'est vraiment un p'tit bijou! La bouffe goûte vraiment le Mexique - les saveurs sont authentiques, riches, pis pleines de caractère. Les tacos, les enchiladas, le pozole, les quesabirrias… tout est incroyable! On sent que c'est fait avec amour pis du vrai savoir-faire mexicain.
Le service est super sympathique, l'ambiance chaleureuse, pis on s'croirait presque à Mexico. c'est clairement une place à essayer. Une de mes meilleures découvertes à Montréal!
Gracias Tarasco! 🤠❤?
Excellent restaurant mexicain, on a mangé des tacos de plusieurs viandes différentes & tout le monde a adoré ! Ils nous ont proposé de goûter la viande qu'on ne connaissais pas avant de commander. Les hôtes sont très gentils & généreux, le service excellent. On reviendra pour sûr & on après avoir passé une si bonne soirée on reviendra avec tous nos amis ! On avait vraiment envie de manger des tacos mais ils avaient aussi une grande sélection de plats qui ont l'air très bon ! On prendra ça la prochaine fois.

Le Tarasco is cozy, colorful, & full of flavor. This family-owned Mexican spot in Hochelaga is all about heart … from the Spanish music videos playing on the TV to the traditional blankets used as table runners & traditional masks decorating the walls.
I stopped by during their Thursday to Sunday special this month:
🌮 $7 for 2 tacos (you pick your meat)
🍺 $7 beers instead of $9
Great deal, great vibe.
Here's what I tried:
🌽 Pozole - A warm, comforting bowl of soup that tastes like tradition.
🌮 Carnitas Tacos - Juicy & tender with no frills, just flavor.
🍺 Michelada Pequeno - Tangy, spiced, & perfect with tacos.
🍹 Cantarito Pequeno - Zesty & refreshing, like summer in a cup.
🍮 Chocoflan - Soft, rich, & dreamy … part chocolate cake, part flan, all delicious.
The staff was super kind, the portions were just right, & you could feel the pride in every dish.
✨ I spotlight my favorite local gems on TikTok @foxy.appetite & IG @foxyappetite - come hang out!
This meal was comped as part of a media preview - sharing my honest thoughts above. 🫶🏽
I past by 2-3 days ago & Food was Amazing & i'm actually upset that i didn't know this place before. Authentic at 100% i think they need to work on their marketing if people started to know where this is & how to get here. It would blow up ( for now i must gate keep) the cashier/server mention to scan something but i totally forgot.. couldve got me a free Taco smh but anyways i'm planing on coming next week again ( my go to Mexican place)
