Talk about one of the best authentic taqueria experiences in San Francisco. I ordered a Super Asada Quesadilla. Absolutely amazing presentation and taste. Fresh avocados Asada with flavor Strawberry agua fresca to wash it down. Something about sitting towards the back looking at the front door, the sound of change clinking in the cash register, the smell of different Mexican meats being cooked on the grill and the hustle and bustle of the mission right outside made me give this place 5 stars. When ordering, I was told it's cash only. Be prepared $
We came to El Farolito to try their super burritos, and it was good! I got in line and ordered a Al Pastor Super Burrito. It took about 15 minutes for the burrito to be ready. Inside has seating and the place is no frills. The burrito itself is massive! However, I feel the flavor was not there. The pork was not as tender or seasoned well. I did not enjoy the bite as much as I did with other burritos in the area. However, I am glad I tried!
Being a native Bay Area person, I always heard about the burrito wars in San Francisco's Mission District. 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.
Got the Super Burrito wet with chicken. This monster came out absolutely wet & girthy. The only attack angle sufficient enough to tame such a beast was with a fork & knife. For once in my life, I was forced to eat like a civilized man. On the outside, everything looked normal, but in the inside it was anything but normal: I had to open my third eye center so that I could ascend my primal instinct of going to town on this burrito. Equipped with a knife, I sawed thru that behemoth methodically - too fast and it would burst open, too slow & it would give me the cold side eye. I am the burrito slayer. Cash only, was very very well priced for the size (about $13. Receipt didn't make it out alive).
I came in with high expectations after seeing all the great reviews, so maybe that set the bar a little too high. The place was busy and I waited about 15 minutes in line, but the staff were friendly and the prices were reasonable. Unfortunately, the food didn't live up to the hype for me. I got the boss's burrito, and partway through I found a hair in it, which killed my appetite. Even setting that aside, it just wasn't that good -- possibly because it tastes different from what I'm used to, so some of this might come down to personal preference. I'm still not quite sure what all the buzz is about. Decent service, but between the hair and the underwhelming food, I probably won't be rushing back.
I am stunned by the value and quality as prices are driven up everywhere else for meager offerings lol. They are cash only! They do have an ATM inside if you need to withdraw cash. The restaurant is located right outside 24th St Mission BART station, and there is almost always a line out the door. Goes by fast though! There are additional benches outside in a small courtyard, so don't be deterred by the narrow space inside. A small detail I liked was the sink was outside the bathroom so I didn't have to wait in the bathroom line just to wash my hands :P I truly underestimated how much they will stuff in one taco ($4.75) and one super burrito ($11.25). Like truly, oh my gosh. I was full off two tacos, to give you some perspective. I saved my other two tacos and burrito to share with my parents, and all 3 of us were full. Off 2 tacos and 1 burrito!! Amazing. So much bang for your buck! I don't think you can go wrong with any of the meat options, but I can personally vouch for the tripas (intestine), cabeza (beef head), lengua (beef tongue), and al pastor (marinated pork). The tacos come with hot salsa inside of them, so I would order them without it if you don't like spicy. I also loved the two hot sauces it came with to pour over! My cousin, a food snob, raved about their super quesadilla ($11.25) so I'll have to try that next :)
Sadly La taqueria is closed on Monday and that was what I was craving. 2nd choice a Suiz a quesadilla with pastor from here. It was fine, very cheesy and greasy (in a good way) - I wish I had not gotten the pico baked into it - but live and learn.
This place has amazing burritos. The portion size of the super burrito is big enough for two people to share, especially with a side of the 75¢ chips. The carne asada was flavorful. My boyfriend loved everything about the super burrito. We will miss it back on the east coast. Make sure you have cash as it is a cash only establishment. Highly recommended if you are in the Mission area or downtown as it is a quick ride on the Bart.
Looking for a great burrito late night in San Francisco!?!? Totally worth its hype. The meat is cooked fresh for you to see while in line. The few times I have been here - I got ceviche, tacos & burritos. This particular time I got a shrimp & carne asada burrito. Ummmmm there was no skimp on the proteins wrapped tightly in the fresh tortilla. The orders are set out even with volume of guests they have late night. It's in a questionable area & most likely if you're there late the after bar crowd is there. But all for the love of a good burrito I am down to go. P.S. CASH ONLY
Super Quesadilla -- great taste, great portions, great price. Very tasty but a tad salty. Large enough to feed 2 adults. All for just $11.25. Oh, and they're open past midnight. Cash only. ATM available in the restaurant.
To start off the location is a perfect example of the hole in the wall burrito spot. The staff is nice and they're very efficient. We got the carne asada burrito and as someone that's had a lot of carne asada burritos from great spots just like this it was one of the best I've had. There was a lot of meat and the amount of beans and rice was perfect. This is a really great place to stop by and grab a burrito for the road, a picnic, or just to take it home.
The carne asada super burrito I had was solid! I like that they used freshly cut avocados and the burritos were heavy. For $12-13, can't beat that.
I was in the neighborhood and wanted to try something different, but La Taqueria is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays, so I decided to eat at El Farolito instead. I have dined here many times in the past, and this is a cash-only restaurant. I ordered the Regular Burrito with Beef Steak ($10.25). The regular burrito comes with a flour tortilla, rice, beans, salsa, onions, and cilantro, plus your choice of meat or vegetarian. Meat choices listed on the menu: * Al Pastor - Marinated Pork * Carnitas - Deep Fried Pork * Chile Verde - Pork Green Sauce * Chorizo - Mexican Sausage * Carne Asada - Steak * Lengua - Beef Tongue * Pollo - Chicken * Cabeza - Beef Head * Tripas - Intestines I asked the cashier which meat was most popular, and he recommended the beef steak, which had a slight hint of spiciness. The burrito came with pinto beans and rice. I forgot to ask if I could substitute black beans. The burrito wasn't too salty, and the beef steak was just okay. I also think the $10.25 Carne Asada burrito is a good deal. At other taquerias, carne asada is often an additional charge or the burrito costs more when you choose steak. I usually ask for a receipt even when paying cash. When I checked my receipt, I noticed I was charged an additional $0.25 for "Bolsa To Go" (bag) even though I was dining in and didn't receive a to-go bag. It's not about the $0.25, but I think it's important for a business to have integrity and charge customers only for what they actually receive. I hope this isn't something being charged to other dine-in customers as well. Overall, I would come back to try a different meat, but next time I'll make sure to clearly say dine-in and check my receipt to make sure I wasn't charged for a to-go bag.

I had this spot flagged to try out and since I was in the neighborhood, I decided to get some food to go. I ordered a super burrito al pastor with everything included. Service was quick & the food was made promptly. The place is small, but they did have a patio out back (I saw a sign I didn't go to check it out) I ate the burrito later that day. It was very flavorful and had the right amount of ingredients. They came with the green and red sauce on the side. The green sauce is spicy. Red sauce is mild. Bring cash because it's cash only but they do have an ATM. read more

I went to El Farolito after seeing that the line at La Taqueria was already long. There was a short line at El Farolito on Friday around 5pm. I got the super burrito with Al pastor! It was a solid burrito and very big. Good size for the price. BTW it's cash only. read more

Super burrito (al pastor): super good, the sour cream flavor really came out in the first few bites. Good quality, fresh. Sauces: I prefer the red sauce over the green sauce. The green one doesnt taste like verde, tastes like raw veggies. Red one has a slight spice to it Extra Cashier has a mic so despite being so close ur supposed to listen to the mic and not him. Ordering is really fast. No receipts Wait time is pretty fast Super busy, but still easy to find seats (most people do take out) Water is free No free chips and salsa, altho pretty cheap Cash only Menu for meats is pretty nice variety Place is kinda dirty feeling but got character. In my reviews, 4 is average, 5 wows me and I wanna go back, 6 wows me and I crave it. This burrito did wow me, I thought it tasted excellent, the price is pretty nice too. Ambiance a lil eh, but what knocks it down is no free chips and salsa, if I were to do takeout, I mightve enjoyed this way more but I dined in with no free chips and salsa so it gets a 4 stars read more
Unassuming and small but the burrito is anything but. We got the carne asada burrito. Super big and filling and delicious. Over all I wish the salsa was spicier but it was a good stop nonetheless. Line moved quick too. Cash only read more

I've heard good things about this place and decided to try it out before a concert. My husband and I ordered super burritos. I immediately noticed and appreciated that all the proteins are the same price. They only take cash but there's an ATM machine in the restaurant. I don't normally eat burritos but this hit! The burritos are massive too. Although better fresh, I enjoyed my leftovers the next day too. There's a few tables but mostly limited space. The line goes by quickly. read more

The food is fantastic!!!! The super quesadilla with refried beans instead of meat was awesome! Also the veggie burrito was insanely good! We loved the green salsa and the service was friendly and quick. It was clean to eat inside and causal. I really really loved this food!!! read more
Late night meal in the Mission! Cash only establishment but absolutely worth the visit. With very filling servings and plenty of seating inside and outside, you'll have a great authentic experience of the Mission culture here. We got the asada super burrito which was very worth the cost and comes with both green and red salsa upon request! Service is decently fast but can be long at peak service times read more
We came here late on a Thursday night after being in the hospital for hour. We originally went to a different location that looked beyond sketchy! Casi nos moríamos por un burrito! Jajaj! So we left and ended up at their second or fist location, not sure which. This one was much better! The food was great. We enjoyed everything we had. The food tasted fresh. The service was good and they answered all our questions. I would have given 5 stars if the actual restaurant was a little cleaner, but honestly their food was sabrosa! I would go again if I was in SF. read more

Came here after a show in SF, and the line was out the door. It took about 15 minutes to get to the front of the line and another 15 minutes to get our food. It was a Saturday night, so it was a lot busier. We got some steak tacos and a cheese quesadilla. There were no more seats inside the restaurant, so we had to take it to-go and eat it in the car. The food was delicious, but be warned: it can get a little messy while eating. read more

Good portions and reasonable prices. I am not sure if the chef is always a bit unfriendly, but he definitely does not seem to enjoy any modifications to the dishes. Overall, it is a good spot for a quick and tasty burrito, and the tacos are great for kids, although the fish was a little salty. read more
It's one of those true IYKYK moments for native San Franciscans: when you want the best Mexican food in the city, El Farolito is always in the conversation. They've been a steady favorite for years, serving some of the best super chicken burritos and enchilada plates I've had anywhere. There's something special about being called Mejía by the busy cashier who somehow stays polite while keeping the whole place moving. The restaurant is always buzzing--any hour, any day--with its classic lunch tables, bench seating, colorful Latin artwork, and lively salsa music (complete with the occasional sing-along). I stopped in to grab dinner for the family--burritos all around. I went for my usual, the enchiladas plate, and it did not disappoint. Everyone was happy, and that complimentary salsa bar is always a bonus: the red is muy caliente, and the green is milder but still packs a kick. Nostalgic, delicious, and exactly what we were craving. read more
The surrounding area is incredibly sketchy, and you'll probably have to avoid a few questionable puddles outside or accidentally walk into a little scuffle. But when you actually make it to El Farolito in one piece, hopefully you'll find the food is worth it! (lol) The burrito is quite good, but it isn't perfect. The meat is quite flavorful (but it could potentially be more so), and the tortilla had a little too much give (even though they put it on the griddle). Maybe this is just a me thing, but there was a bit too much rice for my liking. Seemed like they were not too generous with the meat. Okay - but it was like $12 so the burrito is fine for the price. The food came out within 6-8 minutes. Make sure to bring cash!!!!!!!!! read more
This was one of the worst experienced I had at a Mexican taco place. The meat was questionable and possibly even old and smelly. I could not eat it after the first bite. No words to say except distrusted and disappointed. read more
Just got back from San Diego where I had some great burritos and outstanding Mexican food. Came back home and stopped at El Farito, was quickly reminded that Northern California is the best California! I've had burritos from Seattle to Sacramento to Sayulita and this place is up there with anywhere I've been. There may be a line but trust, the service is quick. Standard taqueria ambiance with a lil SF funk on it, just how I like it. Shrimp and Carne Asada burrito is my go to but chile rellenos are also off the hook. I brought someone here that ordered chorizo tacos, they took a bite and immediately got up to order more to go lol. If the aliens came down and asked me for a burrito, this is where I'd take them. Theres a few locations but I like this one. 5/5 pull up and get your issue read more

I ordered: Super burrito with carnitas The meat was a bit dry and i had to keep putting on sauce to mitigate but it was tasty overall read more
El Farolito is always a solid choice. The asada is great quality, and all the fixings are fresh and come together really well in the burrito. Service is quick and the staff are friendly, which keeps things moving without feeling rushed. They've even got an enclosed back patio, which is a nice bonus if you want to sit down and eat. Pro tip--always ask for a side of the green and red sauce to pour over your burrito, it takes it to another level. read more

Rice is important in San Francisco. Going to different restaurants in the city rice is a staple for many different dishes. The local cuisine in San Francisco rice plays a big part for many dishes. San Francisco is known for rice dishes and I couldn't have clay pot or sushi without rice. I can't have gumbo without rice or curry without rice . You also couldn't have Fan Tuan without rice , chicken adobo without rice and I definitely cannot have an official Mission Style Burrito without rice. To me it's an easy choice on what a Mission District style burrito should contain. When it comes to rice I was raised eating rice and beans in the Mission District. A burrito without rice is an overgrown taco or quesadilla without soul . A burrito without rice is like the San Francisco 49ers without ever having Rice ( Jerry Rice). There is a place which makes one of the best Mission Style Burrito with rice and lots of other delicious fresh ingredients. It's called El Farolito and it's on Mission street in the Mission District. On a Mission stroll back to my stomping grounds you will find one of the best value and tasting burritos in all San Francisco is El Farolito. You can buy Filet-O- Fish sandwiches with cheese at the 24th and Mission street McDonalds across the street and it will still be better and cheaper to go to El Farolito. I came here morning and after midnight and the burrito here stays consistent over decades. A Mission Style Burrito shouldn't have one thing for sure and it's lettuce. Going to El Farolito I like ordering the Al Pastor Super Burrito. You get hella fresh ingredients like guacamole, rice, meat, cheese, and sour cream on a sometimes flakey tortilla like some in SF. El Farolito wins my award for the most tasty burrito . Remember cash only in SF but they have an ATM inside. Mission Burrito "advice"it better have some and "rice" it's tasty and good value and "price" and you can add the green or red salsa to add some " spice" Go on a Mission street "stroll" and watch the burritos at El Farolito get a "hand roll" when it comes to the Mission style burrito I am a real "all pro "and a so-called Mission style burrito with no rice has no "soul" read more
my 1st time at the Mission Street location, got there post 9pm on a Tuesday night, and found parking across the street, with the line to order only extended to the entrance door upon my arrival. I waited patiently and put in my order for a Super Steak Burrito, normally I frequent their shop on 24th street but wanted to check out if this location was different. For me the Green Salsa takes the Burrito to another level. plenty of customers were eating in though I got my order to go. would happily come back to the mission street shop. it's hard to beat El Farolito in my opinion. read more
Number one spot for burritos! Took my family to try El Farolito on a Saturday around 11am and it wasn't too crowded then. We got 3 super veggie burritos (two with spinach tortilla - one with no rice, and one with wheat tortilla) and requested for lots of extra sauce on the side. They only accept cash but there is an atm inside. Food was ready within 10 minutes! Super Veggie burrito (5/5): Huge portion size! We were so full to the point where we could barely walk afterwards. The burrito was filled generously and all the ingredients were seasoned well. The sauces were also very tasty! Amazing bang for buck (less than $11!) and good flavors. Will definitely return! read more
This is the spot. Best burritos in SF, and their prices haven't changed much over the years. Cash only! Super burrito and super quesadilla are both massive and delicious. I'm sure their other menu items are tasty too, but the super burrito or super quesadilla are the items I always get. There's some seating indoors but not a lot. There are more tables outside in the back. read more

Do they just change the owner? It looks like the staffs are different and the menu has slightly changed.

How smelly is the place? I mean - do your clothes smell of taco after the visit? :)
