I am in awe! I can't believe this place is literally down the street from my job! I've been under the weather so my co worker recommended this place. I checked it out on Friday and ordered a Tortilla Soup! It was very delicious! I tried their watermelon Mojito and that was very refreshing and very good! The waitress was so friendly and kind and told me about Live music on Friday's! I think I found my to go to spot after work lol! Really gorgeous decor! I love this place! I will be back! read more

Food is always great here, but we tried the molcajete for the first time tonight. Over the top delicious! But bring an least 3-4 people for this awesomeness. It's insane. And if you get Valerie as your waitress, that's just a bonus! read more

Our family has been long time customers at the fairfield location, almost 6 years we've been regularly coming and have had the same order everytime. One time my father who they clearly recognize and know came to pick up our order, he just grabbed our food as we always see it and tried to stand in line to pay, the older woman immediately snapped at him and was very disrespectful. No one was going to take the food or leave without paying but she verbally berated him for even grabbing the bag of food. Safe to say we will be taking our business somewhere else. read more

This place is the ultimate delicious and Authentic Mexican food! I highly recommend this place! Best veggie fajitas and mojitos! Lovely staff! read more

The food is not good at all. "taco bell" has better flavor. They don't even have spicy Mexican salsa, no aguas frescas their burritos unwrap easy read more

Second visit to this location and if you are looking for good margaritas this is your place. Blackberry margarita and the traditional margarita are both delicious. The traditional packed a punch. Sat at bar last night and bartender entertaining and knows how to pour. Guacamole was good but not great. Chose the spicy option, which gave a little heat but otherwise not a ton of flavor. Good just not amazing. The green salsa is off the chain delicious. Love their salsa and loved that their green salsa tastes like a red . Nice onion chunks and good heat. Came last week with a couple peeps from work. Same good drinks and consistency. read more

Favela's Fusion - Margarita, guac, chips and salsa - Mexican Near Me - Fairfield, California

This place used to be fun. We pulled up today to try and get a table, but they were full. We ended up going next door to eat, which was great, BTW. Favela's lately seems to be full of loud intoxicated people, most of the time. None of whom seem to really care about social distancing. During COVID this is a real concern. I will stay away until there is a vaccine. read more

Favela's Fusion - people sitting outside a restaurant - Mexican Near Me - Fairfield, California

While I've been here a few times, I've only found myself at the bar so I'm not sure about the whole "waiting for a table" issue that others have found themselves in. My rule of thumb is always BAR; fast service, glass will always been half full, and you'll be able to check out whenever you need to rather than waiting. Well let's say I'm a fan of their sangria (not the same as Cha Cha Cha but a good competitor). I've always found myself ordering the sangria if I'm not in the mood to try anything else. But I have had their Margarita Tamarindo that did give me a head rush from all the sugar additive in the drink mix. If you're ever around during the Christmas season I did also try their Holiday Milk Punch that was pretty good. With a few seasonings, half and half, a shot of this, and a shot of that... it was good. Wouldn't order it again but ehh... It was okay. I had their Chiveche Acapulco that was my kinda flavor. I loved the sourness and the chip was great. If you dip their complementary chips in the salsa... it's the die for. A previous time that I visited, their baked clams weren't really tickling my fancy since it seemed like it needed to be cooked a bit longer. Service, overall, is alright and I'm sure to visit again for the sangria! read more

Showed up later in the evening for an appetizer and a couple of drinks. Drinks and service was fine. The appetizer was the mussels for $14.25. For that price you would normally get a bowlful of mussels but here you get "5" mussels so covered with cheese (and chorizo?) you couldn't see or taste the shellfish. Ate three and gave back the rest. read more

I've been going here for years and I have always really loved this place because they have always had good quality food and the portions match the prices. However over the past few months I have noticed a drop in quality, drop in ingredients, as well as much smaller portions but an increase in price. I went there and ordered my usual this weekend and this now makes the fifth consecutive visit that my burrito has been nothing more than 80% rice and a very tiny amount of meat! I have called the restaurant and expressed my concern and disappointment and it falls on deaf ears! I get an attitude as if they don't care??? Let's be clear, When you pay almost $15 for a burrito I expect it to have $15 worth of ingredients especially meat! If I want cheap Mexican food I would go to Taco Bell! I have always ordered the steak favela style burrito I have never change the way I order it. On top of going up on the price The Barito is at least 1/3 less the size that it used to be! Ironically the price has gone up and to top that, they charge you an additional fee if you order the burrito within a certain timeframe and their reason for this is because it is dinner hours???? Ummmm WHAT?!?!? I have attached photos of the "rice burrito" that I paid $15 for. It is very unacceptable especially being that this is a food service business so the overhead when it comes to the ingredients and the meet is very minimal compared to what they are charging! I don't know why they would want to tarnish the reputation and the quality of their food because they want to be cheap skates! If that's the case close your doors and open a taco truck! On top of that it is like pulling teeth to get them to give you extra salsa. And the last time they didn't even give me any. I immediately called and I was told that they don't make the rules that the owner does!?! Well to the owner... I suggest you figure out what it is you're doing and what kind of business you want to run! This is a small community and word gets around very fast! Especially on this side of town! I suggest you address the issue or you're going to start losing customers! It seems to me that their main focus is on the bar and if that's what it's going to be then have just a bar and no restaurant! Very disappointing read more

Service and food are excellent. The best margaritas in town. Definitely try the green sals

Favelas was my go to place for cilantro rice and a good Mexican dish. Went there tonight and had a horrible experience. The menu has completely changed. We were told to look over at the bar if we wanted to see what drinks were available because there was no drink menu. We both ordered shrimp enchiladas and they added eight dollars to our bill because we ordered shrimp. This was not mentioned on the warped laminated menu.The food was ok. Small portions. The margaritas were bad. Mine was bitter like orange rind. I only drank half. I asked if they changed ownership because so much was different. They said no, but we were having a real rough time understanding each other. So sad. We are done. Going to Rockville for now on. read more

Decided to dine here one night and here are my results: Pros: Very nice ambiance, romantic, intimate, and warm. Live band plays in back corner. Best salsa verde I've ever had. Prices are reasonable. Service is good. The z tacos were absolutely delicious! Cons: There was no server at the door to greet us so we just had to walk to the back of the restaurant and speak with someone but were seated right away. The band played beautifully but a little loud for a dining experience, kinda had to yell across the table to be heard. read more

Dined here during Covid-19 restrictions. They did a nice job of providing outside seating. The waitress was prompt and courteous. The food was very good. Three of us had the Enchiladas Verdes. They were excellent. The sauce was amazing. One had the Chile Relleno and described it as delicious. The main reason for less than a five was the price. (I.e. enchilada plate with no drink / $24.00 tax & tip included). read more

So good! I ordered the shrimp enchiladas and i absolutely LOVED THEMMMM!!! Everything there tastes so authentic and PERFECT! Please go here!

Went back to give it another chance & the a/c was kickin! Drinks & service were great as always

I came in to enjoy some lunch today. It's a beautiful day and they have patio seating available. The inside is great too. The interior has low ambient light & natural lighting, lively music, and a bar with sports on the big screen TV. The ladies bathroom is a single-person room and is nice & spacious. It was clean and decorated tastefully. It has automatic hand soap dispenser and an automatic paper towel dispenser. I had their "Rollitos" (chicken taquitos made with flour tortillas) and a Prickly Pear margarita, with chips & salsa - all were very tasty! The only thing I would maybe recommend for improvement is that the menus could use a little wipe down. They are laminated, but I've been here a few times & the menus are sometimes smudged or sticky; not too bad, and most restaurant menus have that issue since they are handled near food, it's just something that I think could use a little extra attention. All-in-all this place is awesome & I'd rate it at 99 out if 100. It's Cinco de Mayo today & they have a celebration starting at 3 p.m. which includes a happy hour special (from 3-5), plus a folkloric singer, & DJ (from 3-11), plus there will be prizes to celebrate their 10 year anniversary. I'm here by myself today, but this would be a great place to bring friends, or to do on a date sometime. Viva la Cinco de Mayo! read more

Great local restaurant, food I'd very good, love the margaritas. Service is outstanding. We live close by and often walk. Love the artwork on display read more

The food was ok for the price I ordered a super wet burrito and got no red sauce on it.

Going going gone... Quality has gone down. Drinks are not as good. My favorite fish tacos are not as good. Its sad, and I am bummed because we were regulars here 3 to 5 times a month, and often brought 4 to 6 friends with us...but I have had several bad experiences and so now I go elsewhere. Not sure what happened or why they would change such an awesome place...but it is not awesome, it has slipped a few notches to below good. Sad! read more

Eversince a new management took over, the previous camaraderie, politeness, and friendly atmosphere in this restaurant is gone along with the better management in the past. The staff were ok but the cook? He couldn't admit and own up to his mistake.. He served me with messy to-go food with all of the sauces in his hands and gave me the to-go plastic with my styro soaking wet that I had to complain to him about mishandling my food.. That wasnt supposed to be mine, the food was a gift I would give to a client and if i didnt like how it was presented, how would one appreciate it? It was not just a "let-go" type of mess, it was unbearable.. I didnt have time to take photo of it as I asked right away to change the whole thing.. He had the audacity to blame it on me when I haven't left yet and whose hands are dirty? Cook should not argue with a customer in an impolite way.. especially if you're wrong read more

-1 star the menu is EXTREMELY limited! So I ordered nachos & the disappointment just grew! The meat was bloody....no no no! The beans were watery. I've lived in this neighborhood 2 yrs & something told me to stay away. There's literally NOTHING fusion on the menu. I'm guessing ppl are coming for the drinks which were strong. This is not Mexican food! Also he gave us menus covered with old food that smeared all over the table read more

The seafood soup's broth was tasty but there wasn't any fish and the crab was imitation crab. Disappointing and inaccurate. The dessert was good, though. read more

The only thing I would complain about is I used to come here and enjoy the company of workers and loved how they didn't wear masks like they do in other county's but recently they have been forced to wear masks. The only complaint I would have and many other regulars is that we would love to see our servers faces again. Makes no sense that the cooks have no mask but my server and bar tender has to. Either way it's a great place! read more

This was our go to Friday night dinner venue for happy hour for the last 3 months since moving to Fairfield. Always had their street tacos and house margaritas...yummy! However, our last Friday date night at this restaurant was a horrible experience. To start their heater was broken and it was Very cold. The gentleman who sat us down did not mention this only that it was cold which it was outside. Their front door does not completely close when the door was opened. We, along with others at the table next to us took turns getting up from our table several times to close the door so that cold air will not come in. To say the least, we did not enjoy our dinner and will not be back until the weather warms up. read more

I am extremely upset and unhappy. My salad is dirty and bad, and the chicken is extremely bad in taste and smelly, so that it cannot be eaten at all. I was not satisfied and you should not go to this restaurant either. read more

How did we just discover this gem? Classy, well (that is mood) lit spot decorated in Dias de los Muertos theme (but classy). The prominent bar is gorgeous as is the large dining room. The waiters are all very friendly thermometers with lips. Seriously, how can you serve such tasty carbs and all remain so skinny? The cocktails were terrific, really no joke on that. Great salad options if you are craving something lighter. Hip interpretations of more filling traditional Mexican dishes are also abundant. Will be back for sure! read more

I find myself in this place quite often. The food is good. The prices a little up there but the quality of the food well worth it. They have a huge selection of drinks...I usually go for the mexican mule myself but hey they have options incase you want something else. My go to thing here is the ALBONDIGA soup its sososososososo good.... and one even though it looks small will do the trick for me. Sometimes i cant even finish that... (i always want to leave room for desert but it always fails) Ive tried everything on their menu and everything is good. Their chile rellenos The shrimp the fajitas ect....you cant go wrong if you know that you want to eat what you order. If you are going in to try new things then ummmmmmm you might not like some of the stuff. There is definitely and aquired taste needed for some of these dishes....kust thought i add that.. Now service...In all the times ive been here (even the ones i didnt check in for) the guys always outshine the girl servers. I dont know why...the girls always take longer, seem to get distracted and are not as attwntive. Not just with me but i observe and they are like that with all their tables. Usually one of the guy servers will have to get something for the girl servers table. The guys on the other hand. They are on point. Always get ur drink order right away (come on its a must get you drunk before u order your food.youll keep ordering more and prob leave a better tip lol) alright then after they bring you your drinks they take your appetizer or main course order and then after they put that in they come back and check to see if you would like another drink.....perfect... now they give you your space only come when they see you running low or they are bringinf you something and usually when they bring you something they ask if theres anything else you might need.... so one point for the guys 0 for the girls. The places is kept clean and i love the art work. Wll continue to come here awesome lil place to go relax after work and have a few drinks and good food read more

When I think fusion, I think of a mix of two things coming together. Well here the fusion is Mexican and more Mexican. Not really a fusion, but the food is great. The wife and I shared the steak nachos, which had the perfect amount of toppings. She got the tortilla soup and was nice enough to share some with me. It had a great hearty flavor to it that kept you wanting more. I ordered the Caesar salad, instead of croutons they used pieces of chips and some sun dried tomatoes (maybe that was the fusion part). The bar was packed when we walked in and there were only a few tables that were occupied, then again it was 8 pm. The service was was fast and we always seemed to have our water filled. If we didn't have the baby with us I might have joined the crowd at the bar. read more

I went to Favela's Fusion with friends for happy hour. I had no idea this place existed. When I first walked in, I was very impressed with the decor in the restaurant. Very nicely done! We quickly moved to the open spaces at the bar. The bartender immediately brought us salsa and chips. The chips were fresh and the salsa was mouth watering and delicious. We ordered the tacos. Yummy. I think I have found a new happy hour place. read more

Small cozy feel with good vibes and ambience and delicious food. Next times we're out this way we're definitely coming back here.

I heard okay reviews about this place but I decided to give it a try.. came in and the hostess was nice and hospitable. However our hostess never came around and asked to refill our waters.. Everything was great until we got out food each plate came 5 min apart and the last plate came incorrect and by then we all finished our food. I told the hostess and she took it off our bill. I don't normally leave bad reviews but.. this was needed. We asked one of the servers to bring us a coke and he said yes then proceeded to bring us a Pepsi and said " it's a Pepsi by the way" . (Keep in mind they have coke). Not sure why he didn't bring us one but it's not the end of the world. I really had high expectations but the food was mediocre and the rice was burnt and the beans are canned. Never coming here again. read more

Recently have been door dashing from here a lot. The food is great but I notice things missing. For example, when we dine in the black beans have queso fresco on them & we are able to order aguas frescas. The food is good I won't take away from that, I just wish they would be a little more consistent with the way they prepare dishes to go vs take out, given you pay the same price if not more for take out. read more

The food here is fantastic! Try the mole! The servers are friendly and attentive. Unfortunately not good for gluten-free as almost every item contains gluten. read more

I wasn't expecting much in terms of decor and ambiance since it's in a little strip mall, but WOW was I surprised when I walked in! The decor is beautiful and grand and the space is much bigger than what you would expect. I liked the chandeliers, the large paintings, and the dark wood. The first time I went there it was a little chilly inside but I think it's because I got there when it opened at 11am. I think I was their first customer of the day. I got the Mexican chicken soup off of the lunch menu (I think it was $7.95) since it was a cold day and I needed warming up. It had nice sized chunks of vegetables, chicken, cilantro, and rice. I was very satisfied after I finished it. I ate it all, of course, since I was raised to clean my plate/bowl much to the dismay of my growing waistline as I got older. lol. I had the shrimp cocktail (I think it was $10.95) here as well and although it was very tasty and had a nice little spicy kick to it, I wish it was bigger. I also forgot to request that it was hot instead of cold so it was my first time trying it cold. It's much better hot in my opinion. By the way, I just have to mention the bathroom. lol. It's just as beautifully decorated in there. And last, I saw a flyer for $10 bottomless bubbly from 5pm-8pm, Sunday through Thursday. I'd call first to see if they still have it since I saw it almost a month ago. Sounds like it would be fun with a bunch of girls. Now if I can just muster enough energy to go after I get off work. The way I've been feeling, the couch at home sounds much better. lol. BUT if I did go to happy hour, Favela's Fusion would be the next place I'd try to get my drink on... read more

This is now my favorite Mexican cuisine restaurant in the 707 area. I love the friendly service, the venue atmosphere, and most of all the FOOD! I had the chicken enchiladas verde, which came with 2 enchiladas, avocado, cilantro rice (YUM), and black beans. It's so filling I couldn't finish. My mom had the carnitas plate, with Spanish rice, refried beans, avocado, and a tortilla. She barely touched her plate as well. The food was amazing, and it complimented well with her regular margarita, and my mojito. They also give you unlimited fresh chips and 2 salsas. On Fridays and Saturdays (I think), they have live bands. So we got to enjoy our meal with a few Christmas tunes playing in the background. They also decorated the venue adorably, and the staff were all dressed in Holiday sweaters. Loved it! I'll for sure be back for more!! read more

Gross. On our second visit here, the service was terrible! We waited a long time to place our order. Then we waited even longer for a water and soda. Since they only gave us two tortillas with an entree, we wasted ten to fifteen minutes waiting for an extra tortilla. It took forever to get our check as well. Very frustrating. Our female server/bartender was especially rude when she placed a large, dirty, and smelly bin inches away from my face on our table. My partner was in the restroom at the time and for some reason, she thought it was acceptable to start throwing dishes from our table into this nasty bin. Some liquid from the bin splashed on me. She could have waited until we left, which was only a minute later. I don't know why she was in rush all of a sudden. She was extremely slow in doing everything else. Food was okay, but not worth enduring the bad service. Plus the portions are small. Not recommended. read more

A beautifully decorated place in an unassuming strip mall. Drinks are creative and the service was quick and accommodating. Unfortunately the food was extremely disappointing. Unauthentic and completely bland. Is it possible to order five different dishes and all be bad? Apparently yes. The food is edible but not satisfying. :( read more
