Tarascó — Restaurant in Albuquerque

I thoroughly enjoyed the Prescado Le Piedad and encourage you to give it a try. I did find that I had to get the attention of my server in order to get what I needed a few times. But, that aside, I found the servers to be friendly and seemingly eager to please once you had their attention. The menu has sever items that make me want to return to try more!

Update 5/24/22: I decided to try this restaurant again on Tuesday, hoping for a Taco Tuesday experience. I first asked if they had brewed tea but was informed they only have Good Peak fountain tea. Yuck! But, since the only other option was sugared drinks or water, I chose the Gold Peak tea (did I say yuck already?). It's not hard to brew tea. While I was looking over the menu, another couple sat down and asked the same question. They wrinkled their nose at the tea option and opted for soda and lemonade.

You should know that on Taco Tuesday, they ONLY offer tacos, like a Taco truck. I asked for chips and salsa but was informed that they don't serve that on Tuesdays. Ugh. Oh well. I am quite disappointed. How hard is it to serve chips and salsa with tacos??? Well, not my restaurant, not my rules, but I'll know where not to go again on Tuesdays.

I hope the owner will seriously at least consider fresh brewed tea. On another note, the taco options look good and I expect they will taste great. I'm writing this while I wait for them to be prepared since my hands aren't busy eating chips and salsa.

I loathe giving bad reviews but I also won't mislead anyone. The one thing good I will say is the...

This Texas girl finally found some interior Mexican flavor! The food here is very good and completely different from Anita’s, Los Cuates, etc... Simple and delicious food where the flavors stand out. I am not a fan of red and green, and I like for my enchiladas to have form on the plate... Not to look like an aluminum takeout bowl full of slop. Quite the opposite. I had the Camarones al Ajillo. Guajillo Chile is a flavor that I really miss from my favorite place in Austin, so this was very exciting to find on any menu! Really tasty, very spicy. Beans and rice on point. My man had the Tampiqueno (ribeye with cheese enchilada) and he was very happy. The guacamole was plentiful (2 large scoops), served with tostada chips, and tasty for the $6 price... It’s not mushed to order and doesn’t seem green enough to be made fresh, but it’s also not $10, so I am ok with that. The corn tortillas are thick and seem homemade, and you get three per serving instead of two like at many other places. And the CHILE SALSA rocked my world so hard that I am still crying. I am excited to try the Suizas and the Ceviche next. Only 1 less star than perfect due to what seemed to me to be pretty small portion sizes for my shrimp plate (maybe that is why the extra tortilla, to fill you up?) due to the new, super spicy flavors and good prices, I will definitely be back here and giving this new small business some of my Los...

AMAZING AUTHENTIC MEXICAN FOOD! I have been here more times than I can count and it has been a great experience every single time. My recommendations would be: Enchiladas Michoacanas, Fish Tacos, and the combination Fajitas (Beef, Chicken, and Shrimp). The food is incredibly flavorful and different than what you’d typically see here in New Mexico. They do not offer red or green chile to smother burritos or enchiladas, as it is Mexican food and not New Mexican food, but that does not bother me or my husband. There are plenty of spicy options on the menu that use chile so you don’t miss out on the spice. For dessert don’t forget to try the apple-filled churros; they are to die for! Great food, kind owners, and good service. Beware that all orders are made fresh, and it is not fast food. Your order may take longer depending on what you order, but my family and I have never had to wait longer than 20 minutes for good, fresh food.

P.S. @ Matt Lynn: I noticed you reviewed this restaurant three times for the same issue. Very unkind to try to tear a small business down for one servers mistake. I asked the owners about the review and they said that server is no longer with the company. Let’s ring in the New Year doing something productive Matt! Take a deep breath, and let the anger go. It’s very unbecoming for a grown man like yourself to be so upset about something that happened months ago! Good...
