I wish I had taken pictures!! Stopped in after MANY years.. possibly over a decade of not having El Faro food. I used to frequently go to the location off 20 when I lived in Elgin and then the Dundee location when I lived in Carpentersville. Still great service. Food was delicious and VERY filling. All fresh ingredients. Staff was friendly and helpful. The restaurant was clean and organized. There was a small band playing when I got there but left soon after I arrived. There is...
El Faro is a beloved local spot in Elgin known for its delicious Mexican food and friendly service. The menu features a variety of traditional dishes, all prepared with fresh ingredients and authentic flavors. The tacos and burritos are particularly popular, and the salsa bar offers a great selection of toppings to customize your meal. The casual, laid-back atmosphere makes it a great place to enjoy a meal with family or friends.

Took my kids to lunch at El Faro the other day, and it is still outstanding. We got a pastor burrito, and a steak burrito. Food came out hot and fast despite restaurant being really busy with a bunch of take out orders as it was lunch time. The burritos were huge. More than enough for myself and two teenagers. The flavor of both was amazing, but for me, the pastor was the best. I highly recommend if you are in the area and looking for great Mexican food.
