About Taqueria El Farolito

Taqueria El Farolito is a Mexican restaurant on Sebastopol Road in Roseland, known for its super burrito that is very big and affordable. Customers enjoy friendly service and the free salsa and chips that come with their meals. Many praise the carne asada burrito, which is described as being better than at other locations, with beef that tastes authentic and flavorful. The restaurant offers generous portions and delicious food, making it a popular drive-thru spot for satisfying Mexican cuisine. The service is efficient and quick, and customers can spend time hanging out and playing cards. The Chile Verde is highly recommended as the best in town, adding to the restaurant’s reputation for great food. The drive thru option is insanely fast and convenient. The seasoning that they use on their carne asada can't be beat. There is lots of amazing food and flavors at this spot. El Farolito has the kind of loyal following that cults aspire to — with enough indoor and outdoor seating to suggest this place gets absolutely mobbed. The vibe is no-frills, which is a polite way of saying the décor budget was redirected entirely toward the food — a decision that many wholeheartedly endorse. Portions are generous and prices are reasonable, which in California means visitors will actually leave with both a full stomach and money still in their wallet. Practically a miracle. The chicken burrito won’t make you weep with joy, but it will make you quietly nod in respect. Inside: an almost suspicious amount of tender white meat chicken. Whoever is in charge of the chicken situation deserves a raise and possibly a monument. Now. The tortilla chips. Crispy. Salty. Perfectly executed. The staff are friendly and fast — almost aggressively so, like they actually enjoy their jobs. Bottom line: perfect for a quick, satisfying meal. Not perfect for a first date — unless the romantic strategy is “impress them with how efficiently I can destroy a burrito.” In which case, go for it.

This has been my go-to place since the 90's. i love that they haven't changed the recipe to anything and these are the only tacos I will eat in Santa Rosa. All the taco trucks around here are gross and their meat is full of fat. The only thing I would change about this place would be the dining area, most of the time I just order to go because it is in need of a remodel. I wish it would get a huge dining room with new clean tables where you didn't feel uncomfortable in. Like maybe...read full review
Burritos are humongous, and very tasty! But beware, both types of salsa are super spicy
Carne Asada Super Nachos from here are my go to. If I’m ever on death row, I want these for my last meal.
