We definitely rotate around the area, but I have to say this is one of my favorite places for breakfast. The café de olla is excellent. I also really like their chilaquiles. On this last visit, I got the chile relleno breakfast which I have probably not had chile relleno in like five or six years. The service, the food -everything is always top-notch when we come here!

This place deserves zero stars. I can't believe people still eat here. It's a shame that Summit…read morestill allows this place to exist. Anyone giving them more than one star should seriously evaluate the quality of food from other restaurants. I used to come here when I was younger, typically for a steak burrito, but I've stopped because their portions and pricing--especially for the quality--have gone completely downhill. I've given them ample opportunities, thinking they would change, but even as of yesterday (12/14/2025), it's still the worst Mexican burrito restaurant I've ever been to. Never again. BOYCOTT EL FARO. Nothing will change until they see customers stop coming in just for their drunken fix.

It is seasoned to perfection. I even prefer them to asada tacos. The place was lively but there were plenty of tables. My boyfriend got a chocomil (chocolate milkshake) and it was so good! I loved that it had a like ice in it. I had a hibiscus water and it was very sweet. Delicious and refreshing but sweet. I would definitely come back!

I've been here two times throughout the years. This place is totally overrated lack of ambience. I…read moreknow it's just a Taqueria, but it was extremely basic and the cost of items are too expensive. We got 6 small,skimpy tacos, 2 Cokes... they charged us a service fee which we didn't know about and they didn't disclose this to us total was $34.44 for three people. The food was not great. The service was mediocre/nonexistent.Mostly there are lots and lots of better places in Chicago ..skip this one most definitely and try other taquerias

Chicken quesadillas stuffed well. I guess go here if you're trying to get a good portioned quesadilla., but steak tacos are not good. Shrimp taco had two shrimps with little to no seasoning and the double tortillas were soggy and I was waiting for the food and that's that I ate it right away. Came back to put a three star review because the quesadilla ain't bad.

Basically you can't go wrong with anything that you order. The staff are very friendly and spirited, and they are happy to answer any questions you might have ("chilaquiles burritos? Really?"). The ambience is colorful and romantic, in keeping with the romantic name of the restaurant, and I think it's a great place to take a date for good food and good atmosphere.

The young employee there was respectful but I think because it was an hour before closing time he wasn't really trying to sell. Again because of the time I was there it almost felt like a ghost town. The seating area wasn't well lit up. I would come back and hopefully get everything I order. I also wanted to order the Chia Limeade drink and they were out of it. The hot dog itself was really good. Had a nice charred broiled taste and paired well with the rest of the toppings. The asada fries. In my personal opinion less is more. There was a lot going on. Fries with steak meat with cilantro crema and nacho cheese. Too many things happening all at once wasn't well executed. Maybe remove the nacho cheese and add Muenster or quesadilla cheese? Hopefully on my next go around things turn out better.
