First time in this restaurant. Parking is about half a block away. Very popular place but we were able to get a table after waiting for 5 minutes. Food was delicious and big portions. Highly recommended the potato tacos. The Nachos had fresh chips which were delicious. Will be back when back in the area.

Amazing food! We were visiting CA from CO and ended up eating here twice during our visit. They were helpful in checking ingredients for our severe peanut and tree nut allergy and the food was awesome! Even the take out was great!
We're back in CO and I miss this place already.

El Farolito is an Orange County institution. It's almost always busy with a wait. I had a taco/Chile Relleno combo. Amazing as always. The beans and the rice elevate the combo plate from good to excellent. Service was quick and professional. They are so busy; it's hard to strike up long conversations with the staff, but food is out quickly. They have a 90 minute table limit, but we didn't feel rushed at all. I'm only out in CA once every few years and El Farolito is a must do.

The cafe de olla is my favorite, I also had orange juice, the chilaquiles rojos with egg and carne asada were the BEST, it came with refried beans with cheese and rice. The salsa is spicy i absolutely loved it and I also ordered a cup of menudo the seasonings were perfect, everything was delicious and the service was spectacular. I came here on vacation and I was pleasantly surprised.

This place has some of the best coffee I've ever had. Definitely within the top three. In addition, the best flan of any Mexican restaurant I've ever been in (and I've been in a quite a few). The inside looks amazing, the staff is super friendly, just about everything here is delicious, and the prices are fairly reasonable. Only real downside is that the place is so popular you might have to wait up to an hour for a table. But in my ignorant opinion, it is definitely worth it.
