Love the drive-thru. Decent price & great size super burrito.
Tried pupusas once. Definitely not their specialty.
Came in and the lady who serve us doesn’t even smile . Also the employees working in the drive tru is not wearing gloves to make the food and did not observe anyone washing their hands while handling food .
In a hurry for dinner? This is a quicky.
Best breakfast burritos around!! I don't live in the area anymore, but every time I have a dentist appt I stop by and get them to go.
I never been to a spot where they make a burrito faster than you order it and looking at the customers says exactly who they cater too. That name is held in high regard in San Francisco I should have known better because the building looks like it was a McDonald's prior
The super salty food, the raw rice. I will not return!!!

Beats Taco Bell for authentic Mexican food by a long shot. Eat in is okay; very plain.

I ordered a super grilled chicken taco and it was not what I ordered. I also ordered a hibiscus water and it is very sweet and sour, I don't know what's going on. I hope you're more careful, it's very bad for my stomach.

Diarrhea and severe stomach cramping.
Never eating at this dirty azz restaurant again. I knew better but did it anyway. I fast and eat once a day. I had one of the two cheese enchiladas, some rice, beans and a tortilla last night as my one meal. I have had diarrhea and severe stomach cramping since late last night to now to the point where I had to miss work today. The cheese tasted like plastic which is why I only ate part of one of the cheese enchiladas and when I turned the light on brighter I noticed there was a ton of oil in everything. It was bright red oil, which I’ve not seen before. I quit eating it right then but clearly I was too late. Never again.

I'm glad they close late! Me & my friend were craving for pupusas! Unfortunately many closes by 7pm to 8pm! Thank goodness el faro closes by 10pm or so & they have a drive through! Quick service & affordable! Pupusas good enough to satisfied our cravings pork with beans & cheese! I wish they have more options for pupusas but these were good enough! They have many other menus I can't wait to try the rest! I also has their quesadillas in the past super good! They also have home made drinks like Jamaica, Tamarindo, & horchata !!!! BTW they accept credit cards w/ 3.9 something charge but still affordable!
Parking: Easy free parking around the area! You miss it!
Kid-friendliness: Families goes here they either go through drive through or dine in & anyone even with wheel chairs is accessible

I've been going there for about 40 years and it never disappoints. It's fairly close to the airport. One of the workers commented that it is common for folks to take their burritos on flights departing for all parts of the U.S. and even Mexico.
