I drove three hours and waited an hour for them to open...others were waiting too. No show Jones!
Simply the best Mexican food I have ever had in my life. We drive from Colorado Springs CO just to eat here!
The food was amazing and the service was even better! It’s cash only, so be prepared. But man, it is SO worth it.

El Farolito is a highly acclaimed Mexican restaurant located in a small town, known for its exceptional green chili, delectable chicken tacos, and mouth-watering ground beef and cheese enchiladas with red and green chile sauce. The atmosphere captures the charm of small-town New Mexico, making it very family-friendly. The owners are praised for their kindness, with one customer noting how the owner even made flautas on request, which were tender and delicious. The restaurant may be small, seating around 20 people, and is not fancy, but the food is well worth the drive. Many visitors recommend calling ahead to check the limited hours. Overall, the food is described as simply amazing, rivaling even the best TexMex in Texas, and customers are eager to return for more.
