El Farolito - Reviews

My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! It's the best deal for Mexican food in SF. I particularly enjoyed the ceviche tostada, torta, and soups. Honestly, everything is good and cheap 😌!

My experience at this restaurant was a huge waste of time. I waited in line for over 20 minutes, and after ordering my food, I was told they were cash only because their computer was broken. To make matters worse, the ATM was also broken. I only had $10 with me, and there was no sign or warning about the payment issue. I will never be going back!

My experience at this restaurant was fantastic, especially with their amazing burritos. They are packed with a generous amount of meat and very little filler, making them incredibly satisfying. The price is right, and you're guaranteed to leave feeling full. It's a great spot to grab and go. Don't forget to pick up some chips; their green salsa is on point! The wait time was minimal, up to 10 minutes, and the food quality received a perfect score of 5.

My experience at this restaurant was absolutely horrendous. I cannot fathom how people compare this place to "La Taquera" up the street. The meat was dryer than beach sand and had absolutely no flavor. It seems like people lack experience outside their homes or a single corner stand, as I've tasted better from food trucks. I will not be returning for a second chance; La Combre is a better option than this establishment.

My experience at this restaurant was disappointing. They apparently close at 11: 45 PM, and the staff was rude about it. I have been a loyal customer for years, but after this experience, I will not be returning. My visit was on September 11.

My experience at the restaurant was fantastic, especially with their Al Pastor burrito. I highly recommend making sure you get refried beans in your super burrito for the best flavor.

We visited the Taqueria on a Tuesday evening as a couple. It was quite busy, but the wait was worth it! We ordered 4 tacos (Carne Asada, Al Pastor, Carnitas, and Pollo) and the Super Burrito with Carne Asada. The tacos were loaded with an extreme amount of meat, and the Super Burrito was genuinely large, especially considering the affordable prices. This is absolutely unusual in expensive San Francisco. Honestly, one less taco would have been sufficient for the two of us. While it might not be the absolute best Taqueria we've ever been to, it was honest and cozy. Plus, Bachata music played all evening, creating a wonderful atmosphere! In conclusion: I would immediately make the 40-60 minute bus trip to the Mission again to eat here. Price-performance + taste unbeatable!

My experience was disappointing. The restaurant was closed at 11: 30 pm when it was advertised as being open until 1: 45 am. We were redirected to the Mission Street location, which was packed. This is not a serious restaurant.

I usually don’t leave reviews, but this experience was so bad that I felt compelled to share. They got our order wrong entirely. Not only that, but the food, specifically the meat, was SO salty it was inedible. The restaurant was also very loud. It was a terrible experience, though I have had better experiences at other locations.

My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! I enjoyed the great food and affordable prices. It's located right in the heart of the Mission District and offers delicious options like burritos, tacos, and chile rellenos.
