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. 🫶🏽

It might be just coffee, but the bit of spice added just ads this little something
