I have gone to El Faro for years. I was actully referred & taken there by a friend who also loves Mexican food. Each time the food has been fab. I always order a chicken burrito no beans & some time I order 2 because of my location. The price is excellent, their salsa is to die for. I will continue to go back & I hope u try it as well

This restaurant has been around for over 20 years and it's such a staple place to the community. The tacos and tortas are done just rightTheir salsas are filled with flavor and all types of spices. They have breakfast lunch and dinner options and of course they carry desserts as well, Mexican authentic desserts like flan and 3 leches

I got a burrito and it was so bad I almost wanted to throw up because the meat did not taste good and I will never order that

I bought rice pudding and it was raw, I called to complain and they didn't believe me, they wanted me to take it away so I had to go back, the manager reluctantly gave me my money back, I'm not coming

I love this place! I can’t even begin to count how many times I have been there, but it never lets me down. I love the vegetarian and vegan options!! The people that I have gone with that eat the meat dishes also say it is delicious. I always get the soya torta & Soya chicken tacos.

The Windy City is known for its variety of excellent dining options, from classic steak houses to ethnic neighborhood joints. El Faro Restaurant is a perfect example of the latter. Located in East Pilsen, this authentic Mexican seafood spot is a gem for those looking to experience The Chi's vibrant Latino culture.As soon as I walked in, I was transported to a bustling beach town on the Pacific coast of Mexico. Bright decor, tile floors, smiling staff - it immediately felt like a little slice of the homeland. The dinner crowd was diverse, a reflection of Pilsen's community. At the bar, locals chatted in Spanish while sipping Micheladas.For appetizers, we shared Camarones al Mojo de Ajo - plump shrimp simmered in garlic butter. So fresh and flavorful, it got our taste buds ready for the main dishes to come. I ordered the Pescado Veracruzano, a whole red snapper baked with tomatoes, olives, and capers. Lightly crisp skin gave way to moist flaky white meat. What an amazing representation of classic Veracruz-style cooking here in the City in a Garden.Plenty of nearby landmarks provide entertainment before or after a meal at El Faro. Take a stroll through historic Pilsen and check out the colorful murals. Or head to the Art Institute to see famous works by local artists like Grant Wood. Wherever the wind takes you next in Chicagoland, be sure to save room for the home cooking at this local treasure.
