| About: | The only thing this place has to recommend itself for is its delicious food at rock-bottom prices. The lighting is bad, the decor is bargain-basement, but the burritos are huge and the filling is a delicious, slow-cooked carne asada, tender chicken, spicy pork, or veggies and guacamole. You will also find tacos, enchiladas and tostadas. It is a popular place with locals and people looking for a quick meal, especially late at night when most other spots have closed down. The service is quick and efficient. Only cash is accepted. |

yeh i wanted to like it, but El Farolito was really cookie cutter catering to the young white kids wallets after the bar in the newly gentrified Mission crowd, which isnt really good food, its ok at best. but for the same price my money goes where i go ----- elsewhere ------

this place is good. Must be considering how long its been here. I like the food but i prefer the one down 24th street. The best salsa in town. Both very affordable and good food but better salsa down the street.
