This is quite possibly the best restaurant in auburn-opelika, let alone the best Mexican restaurant. Get there for breakfast, the chilaquiles are outstanding. As is everything else on the menu - especially the picadas. Service is great - nothing fancy but very cozy.

This the furst time we came here and it definitely will not be our last! The steak taco is absolutely delicious, no sauces needed, the additionof fresh cilantro was fantastic. The cucumbers on the side were a very pleasant surprise and complimented the taco. Highly recommend all to give it a try, you won't be disappointed.

Authentic food - very tasty. Will go again and try other menu items. Tried a carnitas taco and a beef taco. Tried an empanada. Won't get that again - for the price, very little meat. Ordered plantains, but they didn't have any. Very small place, not a lot of seating. Good food.

We stumbled upon this gem of an Authentic Mexican restaurant, and when I say authentic, I mean it's not your typical Tex-Mex; it's an exceptional taste of homemade Mexican flavors. The handcrafted corn tortillas transport you to a cozy, home-cooked meal, evoking nostalgic memories.I highly suggest paying a visit and indulging in their delectable quesadillas and tostadas, boasting truly remarkable flavors.While the experience is fantastic, a broader selection of hot sauces could elevate the culinary journey. Additionally, improving the speed of service would be beneficial since the demand is so high that sometimes the staff struggles to keep up with orders.Despite these minor considerations, my love for the food is unwavering, and I wholeheartedly recommend this place for an authentic Mexican culinary experience.A notable aspect for improvement is the menu's consistency; there are instances when items specified on the menu, particularly breakfast options available until noon, become unavailable due to running out. This hiccup suggests a need to expand both personnel and dish inventory to ensure a seamless dining experience and meet the high demand adequately. Despite this, the overall charm and flavor of the food make it a worthwhile visit.

El Faro Review:Step into El Faro,, and you’re immediately enveloped by the warm ambiance and the tantalizing aroma of authentic Mexican cuisine. Their empanadas? A delightful journey of flavors, perfectly crisped on the outside with a heartwarming filling within. The street tacos are no exception, boasting a blend of traditional spices that will make any Mexican-food aficionado nod in approval. A pro-tip for first-timers and regulars alike: always inquire about the daily special. You never know what culinary delight awaits you. Highly recommended!

Came across this place and have been back multiple times since. You will not regret getting any of the quesadillas or tacos! Recently tried the Quesabarilla (served Sundays only) and it was delicious. Looking forward to next Sunday to get it again! Friendly service and amazing prices
Amazing food for great value. I'm very glad a coworker shared this gem.

I had a chicken tostada, cheese empanada and watermelon water. It was fresh, delicious and full of flavor. The only con is it is an hour from my house but I can't wait to go back!
