Las Tarascas Michoacanas Mexican Restaurant

We last were at Las Tarascas on July 21, 2015 and as you can tell by that review we were not happy with the food and had not returned until this past Sunday when we were looking for mexican food in the neighborhood. Walking in a little after 9am we were the only ones in the restaurant. We were greeted nicely and seated and Lalo was quick to the table to take our drink order and bring us chips and salsa. As we looked at the menu, Lalo brought us a complimentary chiles toreados. We are a great fan of these but while good we like them a little more cooked and browned. We ordered Huevos Chorizo and the Chilaquiles. Lalo then brought us the Fideo soup and this was a big dissapointment and it had no flavor whatsoever and had maybe a dozen star shape pasta in it. Igncaio called this «sopa de calcetines» as not even the salt or lime made this soup flavorfull. We took a couple sips and that was it. Menu items seemed to be a little high for the area but we have noticed you can always find a coupon on groupon or
and I was told there is a BOGO in the Friday Review Journal. Food was quick to the table and a vast improvement over our last visit and to say we both cleaned our plates. Viri informed us that they had a new chef. If he only knew how to make soup! Lalo was very attentive in keeping drinks & chips full and clearing plates as needed. I think he needs a quick promotion to waiter. Viri, our waitress was nice and personable but could have visited the table more. I have attached some pics of our meals and the bill and I believe we will come back for dinner but not without a bogo coupon.
Enjoy!

Great service. Tasty, authentic food. Yummy complimentary appetizers. Delicious margaritas!

This is my second time here and I am loving it!!! Great customer service, super friendly staff and well treating. Love when u first sit they bring a small samples of chips and 2 salsas with yummy soup. Incredible delicious food and well served. I definitely recommend this place for everyone!!!

Wanted to take a minute and review this place! Great clean atmosphere. Hard to find good authentic mexican retaurants around the east side. Staff is always friendly and very attentive. Prices are very reasonable and food is delicious!

Words cannot describe how bad the food is. The place looks nice and the staff is friendly, but the food was the worst of my entire life. The salsa was very bitter and not edible. The soup was store bought alphabet soup, not anything remotely Mexican. The queso was just melted and charred onto a skillet and was very rubbery, so you cannot even eat it with chips. The cheese enchilada had more tortilla than cheese, the wrong kind of cheese, and the sauce almost made me gag. The tamale had store bought bland tomato sauce on top and just tasted bad. We will NEVER go back, and please do not be deceived by the new appearance and good staff.

Soo where do I start reason they got 1 star from me was there food so i ordered Pollo al naranja something like that it was NOT good at all there chicken was nog soft and it was slightly cold then I ordered a michelada very nice little cup but it was just clamato or it tasted like it thats not a michelada other than that there service was GREAT NOT THERE FOOD

First time here. Love the food and the service was great. I had a taco and chili relleno.

Amazing! I love their attention to their customers. Even before we came inside someone rushed to open the door and right before we left same thing. Food was amazing and very authentic. The drinks were pretty good too. My dad loves Lindo Michoacan made a comment that this is his new favorite place! The waiter, Lalo and hostesses were so friendly! Definitely coming back! Thank you :)

Ate here for New Years Eve dinner last night with the hubs and my 4yo. Got a groupon. It was really good! Very nice & attentive service, good food & drinks.

Food is amazing! The chiles toreadosCeviche made in front of you! I also had there margarita, very yummy. The whole staff was very polite and attentive! Portions on the food are more than enough

Amazing service, amazing food, great place to hang out with my love while we talk and stuff our faces. YUM coming back for more tamales for sure.

Excellent! Best Mexican restaurant I’ve been to in a long time. Had the carne asada burrito and tacos, it all was very good. Food and service is great.

The food was delicious and fresh. The salsa and bean dip was great. The fideo soup was like home made. The waiter was kind and polite. The only thing that’s was not too good was the coffee. It was cold. The prices are OK. Good place for some good mexican food.

First time here earlier today
It’s so hard to find good restaurants in the east side but I found this place on Unilocal and it had high reviews do I decided why not let’s give it a try
this place is great everyone was so nice and helpful (I don’t speak spanish lol) nor does my grandma
They were very helpful with helping us make selections I usually eat the same thing but I saw somthing that sparked my interested I forgot the name but it had strawberry cream sauce which I thought was interesting‼ I must say I wasn’t disappointed it was super yummy
I would totally go back I’ve never heard anyone recommend this place to me before but it totally needs more publicity!!!

Pollo a la zamorana. #cerveza #pollo #fambam #thankyamaam #rhymes #postworkoutfoodadventurethursday #nomnomnom #turnedmyfamilyintofoodies #food #adventures #authentic #love

Had to try this restaurant since we LOVE Mexican food and we were very happy. The food is fresh and hot. Salsa is unique, very tasty and the bean dip w chips are awesome. The fideo soup was fun with alphabet pieces (kids will love it) but has a great flavor. I was pleasantly surprised when our server, Cesar, brought us lightly sautéed onion and jalapeño slices. Very fresh and tasty. I ordered beef taquitos and my son, Chris, ordered carne asada tacos. Yum to both. Definitely recommend this restaurant. Nice and clean too.
Alan told us about the weekend special that his grandmother makes called Corundas. Gotta try them!!!

Everything was great! The server, Daniel, was one of the best servers I’ve ever had at any restaurant. He was friendly, passionate, and knowledgable. He seems to know everything about each dish. All the employees we met were nice and we will request Daniel in the future.
As for the food, huge portions that are delicious. We got the jalapeños with shrimp and chorizo as well as a four item combo. The four item combo was massive. Had to box up half of it. My dad got the fried fish and they let him try multiple sauces. One of the sauces had strawberry in it and was the only thing I didn’t like that I tried. The fish was great though and the garlic sauce was amazing if you’re a garlic lover.
We wanted to try desert (they have fried ice cream) but got too full. We will be back!

Second time here and I would have to say i am definitely coming back for more. Super friendly service and very nice décor, makes me feel like I’m at my grandmas house. I enjoyed a specialty cocktail called la Michoacana, the perfect combination of sweet sour and alcohol. Then queso fundido came out sizzling and tasted just as
Good as it looked. Next table side presentation of ceviche made just the way you like it. Finally my entrée of chicken fajitas did not disappoint, I heard my plate sizzling across the room made for an exciting reveal. Very good! my new go to place for Mexican food!

You know?.. there are plenty Mexican restaurants in town, but every now and then you you run into one that totally stands out from all the others and lucky for me this is the case with Las Tarascas Michoacanas. The food is amazingly good!
The place is nice and clean with minimal decorations and although it lacks some more Mexican colors, the arches on the wall are a nice touch giving it a feel of authenticity.
Service was great, this is a family owned restaurant and they really make you feel like you are part of it. They constantly check on you to refill your beverages and to make sure you’re enjoying your meal to the fullest.
I ordered the gallina Zamorana, thats chicken covered with a special strawberry sauce and mushrooms, something I never had before and it was delicious, specially with the freshly handmade tortillas. We also tried the enchiladas Doña Andrea and we loved them but let me warn you, this are authentic Mexican enchiladas and not the ones most people are accustomed to here on the states, so if you’re a «green grow», I recommend you try the regular enchiladas.
We really had a great time here at Las Tarascascas, ask for Viri (I think that was her name) she will definitely take good care of you! I can’t wait to come back and try other items on the menu that sounded delicious, the only bad part is that I live so far from this place, but as my friend would say… I usually don’t hang around on this side of town but when I do I eat at Las Tarascas Michoacanas… don’t stay hungry my friends.
try them!

«The Best Mexican Food I’ve Had In Las Vegas.»
Food/​Drink: For starters, I ordered the combo of the Beef Tamal and the Chicken Enchiladas which came out pretty yummy. First it was served with the bean dip and chips. The chips were fresh and the bean dip was hot and tasty. Also their salsa is to die for! (it really doesn’t need too many seasonings in it because the flavors of the chili are fresh, well ground up, and blended). It was also served with a soup that came with it on the side as a nice little surprise and that also was very tasty.
Service: when I first walked into this place I was greeted with a smile. The servers here look very polished and the ambiance here is warm. From the waiters bringing timely service and having the food brought out in a short amount of time to the manager coming out to offer discounts for his new business all seem too good to be true from a place that look like it was a hole in the wall.
Atmosphere: the inside of this place looks absolutely fantastic the TVs are set up to listen to music and watch Spanish videos and the décor will make you feel like you are in a five-​star classy yet traditional restaurant in Mexico. Only reason why I gave it before is because from the outside it looks like a hole in the wall and that takes away from how wonderful this place truly is!
Price: I paid a little less than $ 11 for a 2 item combo which came with a very generous portion of hot beans, salsa, and even soup. The prices here are reasonable for what you get!
Parking: there is parking available in the front of the restaurant.
MY THOUGHTS? I am absolutely amazed by this place and can’t wait to tell my family and friends about it. I have now found somewhere on the east side that I can enjoy coming to instead of being worried about weird smells, insects, and the food tasting like its been sitting for hours. Also, the service with a smile is definitely a nice touch.
RECOMMENDATIONS: just try it! is my suggestion! Take it from a hard core foodie like me who takes my food personally… the food and service is 5 star!

Came on their grand opening! I got to try «Viri’s Specialty Drink» while enjoying the music by live mariachi.
las Tarascas had very friendly staff & tasty Authentic Mexican food! I couldn’t stop eating
