In Short – This traditional, gritty taqueria, with its blue and yellow interior, is especially popular with late-night diners. After the local bars close, revelers flock here for the extremely large burritos, filled with fresh meats, such as carne asada, stewed chicken and spicy al pastor. Other fillings include fresh avocado, rice, beans, sour cream and cilantro, all wrapped in a thin grilled tortilla. Green salsa is homemade with avocado and tomatillo.

Love this place! Everytime I come here, I come for the Burritos. Every other place i've tried in the city just can't compare. This is my #1 spot for a burrito.
- Pros: Great Taste, Affordable

we loved it just like mexico -- wife had the chicken burrito and i had the carne wished we had got the al pastor but we could'nt even eat the 2 we got -- was worth the 30 min bus ride down from 4 th street we will more than likly go back before we go back to knoxville tn -- highly recommend but its a hole in the wall ( we didn't mind at all)so don't expect nothing but fantastic food.........

The best burrito in the city.
by bonecrusher224 at Citysearch
It always frustrates me to see all the Mission Hipsters lavishing all of their gushy accolades onto Taqueria Cancun when the REAL DEAL is right down the freaking street at El Farolito. Look here people... if you want to be satisfied by huge burritos - the boiled chicken is a personal fave - , tortas or platas of fresh mexican food at an unbelievable price then head to El Farolito. You'll thank me.
- Pros: Great price, great food, wonderful staff.
- Cons: NONE, really.

Best nasty restaurant of my life

You want dirty but excellent? Nothing describes Farolito better then that. The staff is nice, the Quesadillas are sick.
- Pros: Excellent (The Best) Mexican food in town
- Cons: Dirty as hell
