I stopped by El Farolito Jr for a quick pickup and had a great, easy experience. I grabbed some chips and salsa, and for about $12 you get a giant container of salsa--definitely a solid value. This location is set up a bit differently than their other spot, it offers order-at-the-counter for take out as well as dine in options, which makes it super convenient for a casual meal or quick stop. The menu is huge, with tons of options, so I'm already looking forward to coming back and trying more of their food. If the salsa is any indication, it's going to be worth it. read more

The company I work for is in Anaheim attending an industry trade show. Everyone except me lives on the East Coast, and they wanted Mexican food for a Friday group dinner. Well, they got the real deal at El Farolito Jr!!! The restaurant seated a party of 12 immediately, chips and salsa and water were on the table when we sat down. Service was fast (thank you Brenda, you were patient and amazing!), our drinks and food were served quickly, and everything was fantastic. The Molcajete was a showstopper, but everything was muy, muy Bueno. Thank you Jesse, Brenda and staff for a fabulous meal, and for making us feel so welcome. This WILL be an annual visit for us when we're here, and abstop for me any time I'm in the area. read more

I've never been here either I don't know why it's popping up here but I can't leave my review on kura revolving sushi bar- garden Grove

Wow I've always seen this place as I head east on the 91 and completely under estimated! I like burgers pizza taco and breakfast burritos.... This is my #1 spot for when I want a burrito and on this side of town. Hands down and thank you awesome flavor, I went w the eggs ham bacon burrito which also has potato chunks and bean. Great combo! And the salsa was the best, nice flavor minor kick. Don't finish it! You'll be in a food coma....nappy time here we go. Thank you read more

This is down home Mexican food at its finest. Tastes like a bunch of grannies are cooking in the kitchen. There's a little salsa bar and the tomatillo salsa is yum!!! They also have great fries and a ton of kids options. read more

My love affair with this restaurant started over 10 years ago when I took the wrong exit on the free way and turned into this little driveway for this huge Mexican restaurant. I discovered the Chilaquiles with steak and over time have enjoyed it topped with fresh chicken as well. Everything is good here but my favorite is the chilaquiles. Today I stepped out of my comfort zone and tried the chicken burrito wet with both green and red sauce. It was incredible and highlights unique sauces on one plate. Everything I love in one burrito chicken, beans, and rice with a secret enchilada sauce inside. Come check this place out, I'll be the lonely guy eating alone watching the television read more

El Farolito Jr is the sister restaurant of El Farolito in Fullerton. The menu includes the typical items you would expect in a Mexican restaurant. The burritos and tacos are on point. There was a salsa bar on the side with additional taco toppings. Other dishes have all been fine. One surprise was the Nachos Supreme, not so much because of the fillings, which were good, but for the size. A meal for two, or a side for four or more people. Another surprise was Mojarra al Mojo de Ajo, described as a whole fish in garlic sauce. And yes, there is a lot of garlic! For those who love garlic, it's rare to find a dish with as much garlic as this item. Which is a good thing! If you don't like garlic, you probably won't be ordering it, so don't worry about it. The restaurant can be very crowded on weekends, but less busy at other times. The place is generally clean. Access to the restrooms requires a PIN code, and strangely there are no paper towels in the men's restroom but there is a paper towel dispenser immediately outside, between the men's and women's restrooms. read more

After finding out that a handful of my high school girls soccer players and their families love eating at El Farolito, I asked El Farolito Jr to cater my girls soccer banquet at Diamond Bar High School. The offerings that were provided were a huge hit with all of our guests! The 4 different meats were super tasty, along with the rice and beans, salsas, and garnishes...we could not have asked for anything better! After food was distributed, we even got to keep all of the left overs that were made (see photos). We are super thankful they were able to provide a tasty meal for our players and their families and appreciated the constant communication and check in before and after the event from Jesse. Thank you to everyone at Juniors for supporting DBHS girls soccer! The families left full and happy. read more

Food and service has always been great when we come. The main reason why I chose El Farolito Jr is because of their tacos and chips and salsa. My favorite are the asada, al pastor and carnitas tacos. No one has chips and salsa like them! I've also had their red posole and it tastes just like my mom's. Salsa bar is perfect, 3 different options. My favorite is the green and although I always put green and red in my tacos, beware of the red salsa that it's really spicy. read more

The food is amazing service is good only complaint it a little loud in there needs to be better parking

I have had the caldo de pollo many times but I asked for something with more veggies. I was recommended to try the Chicken tortilla soup and it was amazing! It had chicken chunks but what I loved most was it was loaded with veggies! Good flavor broth and this is now my go to! read more

I absolutely love their food!!! Great food beautiful decore and friendly atmosphere. Highly recommend if you are looking for a meal that reminds you of a homemade meal! read more

They took 1 hour and 5 minutes to get our food at the table, then the food was already cold, I did not enjoy the experience I had already lost my appetite. Then they never gave me my flour tortillas. Didn't even offer me a refill. Bad waitresses they don't deserve a tip! Awful customer service and I will let others know not to come here! Deeply disappointed go eat elsewhere far more better this place is not it! read more

The portions are good, service sucks, flavor is mid. Not sure if was because I was alone? It was also hot when I went in. As soon as I got my food, never saw my waitress again, no one bothered to check on me. I sat there staring around the restaurant for 20 minutes after I finished eating waiting for someone to offer me a box and the check, never happened....ended up walking to the register to pay and head back to work. Didn't leave a tip so I guess it's fair now but kinda disappointed I didn't get salsa for my nachos or a refill on my water. Please don't tip unless service improves, only encourages bad waitressing. They get paid to take orders and run food. They don't even have to buss the tables, tips are meant for excellent service and this was no better than ordering to go....which I should've so I could have at least taken my food read more

My favorite Mexican place, especially when I'm pregnant!! lol I'm number 1 craving both of my pregnancies & continues to be great after. Everyone I've brought here loves it too. Great prices, great food, great staff! read more

Now in my opinion, a Mexican joint is only as good as their chips, salsa, and beans, and boy do these never disappoint. Incredibly flavorful salsa, not too spicy, just hot enough and flavorful enough. Beans are perfect texture and flavor, chips are 100% homemade and so delicious. I usually get the carne asada plate but this time I just kept it simple, splitting the bean and cheese burrito and quesadilla with my kids and wife and filled up on the chips and salsa. The service could be better but it's not bad! All in all, always a great time coming here! read more

Delish food & XCLNT service -- as always. But if you want the luncheon special wait until 11 because although the restaurant opens way earlier, the discounted lunch price doesn't start until then. But this place is still, after all these years, just wonderful and what a great dining experience it always is! read more

El Farolito Jr - California Burrito was amazing! - Mexican Near Me - Anaheim, California

So, first and foremost, if u dont speak spanish, stay away from here cuz they wont pay u no mind! Me and my bf had theeee worst experience here when after waiting over an hour, to be told, oh sorry, haven't put in ur order. Mind u, we had asked about our order, several times! The waitress looks like she was out to lunch! It was our first time there and read reviews before going but don't waste yr time if yr not Hispanic and speak spanish! And for those wondering, im Mexican but dont speak the language and still wasnt served! This place sux! read more

One of the waitress was super rude when I asked about the difference with paying either with cash or card. She straight up told me that's why you should bring cash here if you didn't want to pay an extra 4% here. And the same waitress ignored the fact that we found a bone in my nieces rice. She said I'll show them in the kitchen, then proceeded to leave the plate on the counter after a few minutes, she just threw it out. Didn't even apologize or give a discount of some sorts. She was being rude to us but she was smiling and giggling with all the men around. read more

Awesome place! The food is delicious and has generous portions. You know "this is the place" because it's located in a converted house in a neighborhood where all the signage is in Spanish. The menu is large and diverse. Our group ordered enchiladas, tacos, a burrito, and an asada plate. Everything was perfect. read more
