    I finally got the chance to eat here for lunch again after more than a year. I was so happy that there was sit in dining here again during this pandemic. The Super Quesadilla that I had was huge and perfect. It was not too greasy like some other places. I really love the relaxed atmosphere here. The food is always great here.

    Everything I have had here is excellent , my favorite is the steak milanesa it is to die for, hand made tortillas are over the top good. Nothing fancy but solid good Mexican food with large portions. The Micheladas are on point I recommend with negra modelo. Roxana the waitress in the day time is the best

    I ordered this through uber eats. The food was actually amazing I ordered Chile verde ...there was a pice of glass in my food! I called the store to tell them and the manager said he served the food and denied it. If I didn't see it on my fork who know what would have happened!!!

    3 huge tacos

    All I can say to start this off is warm hand made fluffy fresh corn tortillas !with every order. I had the chile verde and my co worker had 3 tacos. Huge tacos... I will be back for sure...

    Service was fine, atmosphere was decent, but the food was just bland and unappetizing. I won't be back.

    Very good. Often overlooked. Why would you wait in line at Farolito when this spot is 2 blocks away?

    Being a native Bay Area person, I always heard about the burrito wars in San Francisco's Mission…read moreDistrict. Over the years I've found myself drawn to the other contender in the Mission way more than El Farolito, so I decided it was time to head back to try this legendary burrito shop. Getting to this location is super simple as we took BART and got off at the 24th Street Mission BART station and from there it's a very short walk of less than a block to get to El Farolito. Walking into the shop one is just slapped in the face with the beautiful smells of the carne asada cooking on the grill right by the door-it's wonderful. It's a modest place that you can definitely tell was built many years ago,so no overly modern amenities-this place cares about the food, not the ambiance. We ended up going with a couple of super burritos of Carne Asada ($11.25) & a regular burrito of Al Pastor($10.25) & also added two tacos one with Al Pastor and one with Carne Asada($4.75) They had beers at $4.75-so we grabbed a couple of Modelos. First the tacos-they were just ok,the tacos were crunchy and I don't know kind of gave Taco Bell vibes. Burritos though-that's a whole different animal. The burrito was so well made from the chew of the tortilla to the seasoning of the carne asada to the perfect balance and mix of all the other ingredients.I judge a burrito harshly if the mix isn't right and you don't get every ingredient in every bite and the mix at El Farolito was flawless. The price point was pretty impressive as well. In closing, El Farolito has always been in the mix as one of the top burrito spots in the Mission, and I can say with confidence that it's in my Top 2 in San Francisco currently. It's an incredible burrito and a true "must-visit" spot when visiting San Francisco. P.S. Just a slight heads up when visiting , it's not the safest neighborhood in the world, so just keep your head up when visiting-this is a place one visits for the food experience not the ambiance.

    The super burritos here were fantastic. We all ordered carne asada burritos, and even our kiddos…read morecompletely devoured them instantly. Even my picky eater, who wouldn't normally choose anything but meat and cheese, ate his as they come. The line here was long, but moved surprisingly fast, and our orders were still good and hot when we got back to our hotel. Street parking is a beast, just like anywhere else in this city. If I was looking to pack on several pounds, I'd eat here every day.

    THE BEST food we ate in all of San Francisco!!!…read more This place is very popular and when we pulled up, the line went to the end of the block. Thankfully it moved quickly -- don't be deterred!!! The flow is very interesting-- you wait in line outside until you reach a small kiosk at the doorway. A hostess writes your order in hieroglyphics on server paper and you're given the stub with our order number. You're directed inside to the cashier, who double checks the order and you pay. You remain in the same line, but now you're in front of the assembly line of cooks (shout out Miguel!). The line leads to a hostess, who seats each guest in order. Once seated, you wait for your order to be called, grab you food, and eat. It's very orderly and extremely low stress. It would be utter chaos if guests had to find their own seating -- likely ruining everyone's experience. Instead, you can relax, hang out with others in line, and watch the chef's assembling burritos. The restaurant should be commended for such an efficient process! Onto the food... The carne asado burrito (dorado) is incredible! The meat is tender and salted perfectly. The beans are gooey and delicious. The guacamole is a bright and beautiful green and the taste is exceptional. There was sour cream too, but portioned perfectly to blend in with all the other flavors. The green salsa (the only salsa at the table) was perfectly balanced. I ordered a small horchata and it was overpriced (just shy of $5) and I wouldn't order it on my next visit. The whole experience was incredible and even with a huge line, we were in and out in less than an hour. Not bad at all for the best burritos we've ever had!!!

The hype is nonsense, waiting in line for a mediocre burrito is insane. It's just a basic burrito without rice, call it that. Don't get me wrong, it's a decent burrito but it's not the best and just average at most due to SF not having much competition in the Mexican food space compared to other parts of the Bay Area. The staff are incredible folks, limited seating. If you are a tourist and visiting, this ARE is the reason what outsiders think of SF - it smells, its dirty and grimey all the way. best of luck finding parking and props to you for standing in line while beggars harass you. If you are a tourist, you are better off finding better burritos in San Jose (if you don't mind the drive and safer) or Oakland (the best taquerias are in the more dangerous areas).
