    Huge and heavy breakfast burrito, beans cheese eggs bacon ham potatoes
    Alonzo C.

    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

    Carnitas Nachos Supreme

    Their food is delicious! My family has come here for years. Carnitas Nachos are THE BEST They never disappoint and their hot cafe de canela is so good too check out this mountain of deliciousness. All the waitresses are so nice.

    I've been here many times and this place never disappoints! I love their chicken or beef enchiladas with red sauce. And their fresh chips with salsa are great! The service is always prompt and friendly, the wait time is good and the place has a traditional ambiance. Definitely recommend and will be back!

    Chicken Burrito

    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

    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.

    I was a little hesitant about eating here because I'm pretty picky when it comes to Mexican food. I…read morefeel like not many places make it the way it should be, and I often end up disappointed. But this place was the complete opposite. The food was excellent. It did have a slightly different twist from what I personally consider traditional, but I absolutely loved it! We ordered tostadas with salsa, shrimp aguachile, chile relleno, and chicken mole. Everything tasted freshly made. The tortillas were incredibly good, the tostadas had amazing flavor, and the salsa was phenomenal with the perfect medium spice level for me since I don't eat very spicy food. It also had a delicious garlic flavor. For drinks, we ordered a michelada that honestly surprised us because it was exactly how we like it, and a Maya-Tai that had a delicious smoky flavor. The only reason I'm not giving a perfect score is because I would have liked the food to be served hotter. It wasn't cold, but it wasn't really hot either. Our server, Justine, wasn't rude at all, but she did come across a little cold and very straight to the point, almost like she didn't really want to be there, and it showed. Completely different from our host, Maddy, who was absolutely lovely. We had great conversation with her and she gave us amazing recommendations!

    Cool spot with some great margaritas and cocktails!…read more Love this little Mexican restaurant located on the bottom floor of the Packing House. Came in for a little date night on a Saturday evening. The whole staff was friendly and accommodating, always quick to refill drinks or clear empty plates. We started off with some delicious and spicy oysters which were topped with a shrimp! We also had to try the Chori-brussels which are flash fried Brussels sprouts with chorizo, balsamic reduction, and Oaxacan cheese. For drinks we got a Santo Dia, a whiskey based cocktail with watermelon, lime, and fizz served over ice. We also ordered the Spicy margarita which had watermelon habanero, lime, and hibiscus flavors. They were both delicious and refreshing, the spicy marg had a good kick to it. For dinner we got a caesar salad, the ribeye plate, and the Urbana burger. We both loved the dressing on the caesar, it's made in house and it shows. The ribeye was cooked perfectly with a delicious herb butter on top, a really good steak sauce on the side, and thick cut fries. The ribeye wasn't the highest quality but it tasted good, the fries were perfect. My fiancé got the burger which had chorizo, melted queso Oaxaca, and an egg on top. Not gonna lie it was absolutely delish! I want to come back just for the burger. All in all we had a great time and I would definitely come back for some other menu items, especially to try more of their margs and specialty cocktails. Thanks Urbana!
