El Tarasco - Best of the Best
Mi Casa Es Su Casa
The story of El Tarasco starts with an
elopement back in the early 1960s in the
Mexican state of Michoacan. Despite the
wishes of her family, a young woman named
Celia saw something special in the poor but
industrious Moises Palomo and married him.
He worked hard picking strawberries, avocados,
or whatever needed to be harvested,
until he was able to send for his wife. Celia
arrived and began working in a factory while
Moises worked a number of jobs.
Moises and his wife had saved up enough
money over time to buy a little house,
but decided to buy a restaurant, despite
everyone telling them it would be a bad
idea. They stayed in their one bedroom
apartment and invested their money in a
small restaurant (nothing more than a grill
and a counter.) This all happened in 1969,
and the location of the first restaurant is the
very same El Tarasco that is there today on
Rosecrans in Manhattan Beach.
Little by little, Celia (who did the cooking)
added dinners and other items to the menu.
The success of the little restaurant was in
large part due to location, location, location.
El Tarasco provided a place where people
could go and get filled up for a reasonable
price. The second El Tarasco opened up
eight years later in El Segundo, and there
are now 11 locations with one in far away
Michoacan and 10 in Southern California.
The item which first distinguished El Tarasco
from other restaurants and really made a
name for them is the Jr. Super Deluxe Burrito
created by Moises daughter around 1970.
Moises and Celia Palomo were two individuals
to make an impossible dream a
reality. The couple successfully raised 5
children and lived the true American dream.
In 1997 Celia passed away and less then a
year later her husband, Moises, joined her
continuing their love eternally. •
