This is not your local Mexican dive. Prices are about $20 a plate but worth every penny. The quality of the ingredients was evident in every bite. The flavors well balanced and the menu has a good variety of choices. The cucumber cocktail was refreshingly delicious and the Cadillac margarita was quite good as well. The ambiance was fun as well. This is a gem of a place.

Where are my lavender drink lovers at? The Lavender Margarita at Los Tarascos is worth every penny!
I also love their complimentary chips and salsa. The chips they serve are just excellent. Truly a cut above other Mexican restaurants in Fort Collins.
But the real star of the show is the margarita. Seriously, go get try one!
Enjoy!

The food was super tasty and we had a great time while we there. It’s in a great location and we loved walking there.
We are totally missing the amazing salsa bar that was there! Bring it back! We thought it was strange to pay an extra $1.50 for salsa that we used to get for free.
The portions were also pretty small and everything was very pricy for what you got on your plate.
The bathrooms also smelled like horrible sewer. We know it’s an old building but something needs to happen.

We were REALLY excited when our chips & salsa came out with HOT chips & a green salsa & a red one too! Unfortunately neither the chips or either salsa had any salt! All 3 were actually REALLY bland! I ordered the Chicken Soup, which at $11 a bowl, should come with a little more than overcooked rice, a handful of chicken, & a rather underseasoned broth. My dinner of Quail Asada was really delicious even though my corn tortillas left a lot to be desired. One of my friend's had a Quesadilla with Steak which was very tasty! Unfortunately my other friend was really dissatisfied with his Cheese Enchiladas with red sauce! It was completely bland, & the cheese wasn't completely melted either. We ordered a Cheese Relleno ala carte to try which was yummy as well. We were all used to a breaded relleno so when ours came un-breaded & with a creamé sauce we were nervous, however it was pleasantly devoured! So with all that being said that's why I'm only leaving a 3/5 ⭐... Perhaps next time I'm in the neighborhood I will have to try this place again.

I've been going to Los Tarascos for years, and I love it. Great food, great drinks, and a fun atmosphere. My only recent complaint is that the last time I was in, I was informed that the house margaritas are now made with Fat Tire beer, and are therefore not gluten free. I was told this has always been the case, but I don't believe that to be true. Now, in order to get a gluten free margarita, you have to buy a $15 margarita, even during happy hour.
