Best tacos I've ever had. I've also had the super burrito and the ceviche. Everything here is excellent and tastes so fresh. The fruit juice and horchata are also worth trying. If you're debating where to get lunch or a late night bite, congrats you've found the spot, you need to go here.
After a long travel day, we checked in to our airport hotel and were looking for nearby late dinner options. El Farolito was highly rated online and close by so we decided to order the Quesadilla Para Dos w/ Carne Asada. We loved the smoky flavor and generous portion of guac and sour cream. The service was exceptional, the employee taking our order was very kind and smiling the whole time.
Someone told me to try this place out and it wasn’t bad. I prefer the taco truck around the corner but overall this place is good.

Taqueria El Farolito is a budget-friendly spot known for delicious Mexican food. The carne asada/chorizo torta and agua fresca, particularly the strawberry flavor, are recommended. The staff serves authentic dishes like Carne Asada and Super Burritos. Salsa with avocado and store-bought chips are provided, with the green salsa being a favorite. The overall experience at El Farolito is positive, especially for those looking for a decent burrito.
The restaurant is described as a simple, regular place where customers go to get food and leave. However, the taste is praised as perfect, with Latino people making their own food and heritage. Customers are willing to travel to San Francisco just to eat there again.
The location on South San Francisco is convenient, with easy parking. The Carne Asada burrito and Lengua are popular choices, though the steak and pork can sometimes be a bit dry. The restaurant is often busy, with many businesses buying burritos for their lunches.
Customers have enjoyed the carne asada super burrito, though one customer mentioned the fillings were not evenly distributed. The portions are considered great, and the salsa verde is praised. Overall, Taqueria El Farolito is seen as a solid, affordable, and quick-service Mexican restaurant.
