El Faro - Reviews

My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! I had some of the best burritos in the city. The food was excellent, and I don't understand why anyone would go to the Chipotle down the street. The crew is small but works hard, so be patient if there's a line. Overall, a great experience with delicious food.

My experience at this restaurant for lunch was disappointing. The super burrito was a flavorless wet mess, and it took 15 minutes to make. The service was too slow, and the food was disappointing. If you serve lunch downtown during the week, you have to go much faster than that.

My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! I had the tacos with carne asada, and I was thoroughly impressed by the taste of the meat and salsa of these tacos 🤤. The prices are very competitive too. Overall, it was a great find during our road trip through California.

My experience at this restaurant was underwhelming. The food was not spicy enough and quite dry, and I wished they had offered some salsa or anything to improve it. The service was basic and lacked warmth; it was a simple order, sit, and leave experience with no smiles. The restaurant itself is very ugly, though I understand that's not the primary reason for visiting.

I learned that this restaurant is not affiliated with El Farolito. My experience involved an online order for takeout. Upon arrival, I witnessed the staff microwaving my food right in front of me. The takeout boxes were so flimsy that my enchilada started soaking through. The food itself was strangely wet/soupy, leading me to believe it's likely reheated frozen food.

My experience at this restaurant was a tale of two halves. The service was truly 5-star. I ordered a super steak burrito and had a friendly interaction with the staff, even sharing a laugh. I left a tip because of the positive experience. Unfortunately, the food didn’t match the service. The burrito I received was not what I paid for. It only contained meat and beans—no rice, no guacamole, no sour cream, pico de gallo, or cheese. For a “super” burrito, I expected the full list of standard ingredients. I was disappointed in the quality and accuracy of what I received.

My experience at this restaurant has been consistently excellent. I travel from San Francisco to Florida, and every time I return, this is one of the places I make it a point to stop at. The Acapulco burrito is always my go-to order, and it's perfect. I even make arrangements to pack my burritos back to Florida because they simply can't make them like this where I am.

My experience at this restaurant was very positive. It has the feel of a family-run operation with friendly staff who offered cheerful smiles. I enjoyed a basic, plain, and simple no-meat burrito filled with black beans, rice, lettuce, and pico de gallo, which was absolutely delicious. I arrived hungry and left feeling very happy and satisfied.

My experience at this restaurant was fantastic, especially for breakfast. I had the Breakfast Burrito, and it was truly the best I've had in San Francisco. The unique touch of pouring meat juices into the burrito made all the difference, creating killer burritos. The food quality was excellent, rated a 5, and the atmosphere was also a perfect 5. The service was equally impressive with a 5-star rating. For a meal of this quality, the price per person ($10–20) felt very reasonable.

My experience at this restaurant was great, especially for the quesadillas. They really put in the effort to grill them, resulting in a crispy and cheesy finish. I also enjoyed the burritos. Overall, a very satisfying meal.
