" Taqueria El Farolito does not disappoint! Their carne asada tacos are fresh and bursting with taste. I was also impressed by how polite and efficient the staff were; I felt at home. The eatery has a casual vibe and is perfect for group outings or cozy dinners. The only downside would be that they sometimes run low on certain ingredients, particularly late at night. However, it didn't affect my experience too heavily as I enjoyed every bite of my food! " (*Curated Review*)

" I tend to hit this spot on weekends because they are open late. The food is generally solid, but I've experienced some inconsistency with my orders. While sometimes I get a fantastic, flavorful burrito, other times it feels like they skimp on the meat. Overall, I can’t complain too much because the place has a fun vibe, and late-night tacos are the best! I love their ensalada asada as well. " (*Curated Review*)

" I have been coming to Taqueria El Farolito for years, and the quality just seems to get better! Their super burritos are something I always crave; they are flavorful and packed to the brim. I appreciate the clean and inviting atmosphere despite it being a casual taqueria. The only reason I’m not giving a perfect score is that sometimes the wait can be long during peak hours. But once you taste the food, it’s hard to complain! " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve had my fair share of taquerias around the Bay Area, and I must say Taqueria El Farolito holds its own! The quality of ingredients is notable, and the flavors are authentic to traditional Mexican cuisine. I often get their burritos for the size and freshness. However, I wish they included chips with the burrito rather than charging for them. Overall, a solid place to eat, but there’s always room for improvement. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a mixed experience at Taqueria El Farolito. The tacos were flavorful, but I felt they lacked seasoning at times, especially when eaten alone without salsa. The service was decent, and I particularly loved the friendly attitude of the staff. The seating can get tight during peak hours, but the place has a real community vibe. I recommend trying their quesadillas as they were one of the highlights of my meal. Just be prepared for the crowds on weekends. " (*Curated Review*)

" I wanted to like this place based on the reviews, but I found it lacking in some areas. While the tacos had a good amount of filling, the flavor was a tad muted without the salsa. Service was okay, nothing to write home about. The atmosphere felt a bit cramped for my taste with no real decor. While it was moderately priced, I think I'll explore other taquerias that offer better taste and experience overall. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes visiting this place because of its known reputation, but my experience was unfortunate. First, I ordered a lengua burrito, but they informed me it was an additional charge. For the price point, I expected a more substantial amount of meat compared to the rice. To add to the frustration, my burrito was missing the avocado I had requested. The staff seemed overwhelmed, and it was a bit chaotic inside. Though I appreciate the vibe, I have to reconsider coming back due to the service issues. " (*Curated Review*)
