I'd move to Centralia if La Tarasca served tequila. The food is marvelous. Warning... the chile verde is hot as hell (in a VERY good way). Be sure to have abundant liquids available when consuming...

I am starting to miss tortilla chips. Think they'd be put out if I brought some? It is a point of pride with them. The food is still tasty.

"If mac & cheese were salsa drenched, tortilla wrapped, you'd give it five stars" Don't listen to this idiot, but rather every other 5 star reviewer. Best Mexican in the PNW, bar none.
