EL TARASCO - REDONDO BEACH

Celia, who took charge of the kitchen, began expanding the menu slowly. El Tarasco's success can be attributed, in part, to its prime location. It offered people a place to enjoy filling meals at reasonable prices... The story of El Tarasco begins with an elopement back in the early 1960's 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. Moises worked hard picking strawberries, avocados, or Founders Celia and Moises whatever needed to be harvested, until he was able to send for his wife. When Celia arrived, she began working in a factory while Moises worked a number of jobs.
