El Farolito Taqueria

Came here with my family on their recommendation. They recommended the super burritos. I had the Cabeza super burrito and a mango Agua Fresca. My burrito had lots of meat, rice, beans, fresh avocado, and was super delicious! Close to the airport and easy to find, easy to park. A little hole in the wall and a hidden gem!

Order at the counter and they bring the food out to you. Both sides of this service for a quick, efficient and very friendly! Plan on taking a third of your burrito home with you because they are huge!

We got here at around noon today and there were only 2 tables with people. We ordered our food and more people started trickling in. By the time we were done at around 12:40pm, there was only 1 unoccupied table left! It certainly filled up fast on a Saturday afternoon!

I had the enchilada meal and chose to have 1 carne asada and 1 pork with green chili sauce. They were both good and the plate came with avocado, salad, rice, and beans. I enjoyed every bite of it.

My husband had a super burrito without rice and was very happy with it. Overall a very good meal without paying too much.

My favorite burrito place. Hubby and I debated Japanese vs Burritos for takeout. His eyes lit up when I suggested returning here. We bought 2 super burritos: my fav, chile verde (pork) and his, carne asada, both with Blk beans. I also got a strawberry Fresca which was good but too sweet.

The rice in my burrito was especially tasty. Although I could only eat 1/3 of it. I saved the other portions after cutting the remaining 2/3 for another meal. Gives me something to look forward to. I can't wait to return again. But I might try the pineapple Fresca next time. The cashier is always nice and friendly and recognizes his regulars.

This is one of our go-to taquerias, an extension of one of the famous burrito joints from the mission. You'll often find long times at specific times of the week (strangely, often Sunday nights).

I mostly get burritos , which I crave pretty often, and I've had a variety of meats here. I like their carne asada and al pastor, and while I usually opt for a regular burrito, their super burrito is really nice with a good distribution of sour cream, cheese and avocado -- that oft messed up distribution is why I don't tend to like super burritos. You can also get a whole wheat or spinach tortilla if you like.

The staff is quite nice too, especially the guy who takes the orders. He is also one of the few in the restaurant who speak English (and I, one of the few who fail to learn Spanish properly..), but beyond that he would chat with you and make you feel like this is more than a burrito transaction.

My only qualm is that their chips are not great. Below average, worse than what I would buy at the store. Upgrade those damn chips and then it'd be a 5-star burrito.

So came here based on other people's reviews and wow what a great hidden gem. I got the super burrito with Chile verde and for $10 what a heck of a deal I highly recommend.

Mission style burritos. A classic place.
This review is mostly for the service lately. On my last order, I asked for steak which I believed to mean carne asada. What was placed in the burrito was a braised beef. Today I ordered a few items and the meats tasted beyond charred. However the nachos were very good (best) besides that. We also ordered soft tacos but those came with hard shells. Besides that, I wouldn't pass this up if you're looking for an authentic SF burrito. Because being able to order that through a drive thru is convenient.

Great portions and friendly, quick service. The restaurant is casual and basic, no frills - order at the counter and they'll bring the food to you. We always call in our order so we can walk straight to the front of the line. Their red salsa is spicy and their green salsa is creamy and tart. We like their al pastor which is so flavorful! The carne asada is good but can be a bit dry at times. Such a great deal too - only $9 for a burrito!!

Their items have great prices and flavor is very consistent. Food is also prepared very quickly.

This is located on a busy street so good luck trying to find parking. We came here for lunch and ordered the Al Pastor Super Burrito ($9). The staff was nice and friendly. It does not come with chips and salsa so it's extra if you want to add it.

This was one of the best burritos I've had in a while as it's been difficult to find a good spot in the East Bay. I'm glad we found this spot after attending an event close by! There are multiple locations but the quality/taste just isn't the same.

FOOD: i had the shrimp burrito and it was pipping hot & pretty good! i would say that they don't have a disclaimer for the burritos being spicy even without adding any salsa, so if you're weak with spice, maybe order without pico de gallo. service is pretty fast as it took like 5 min for my burrito to come out even though there were like 2-3 people in front of me in line.

PRICE: pretty expensive for a local taqueria, it ran me about $14 for the regular burrito. add another $1 if you want a super burrito which comes with guacamole and sour cream.

AMBIANCE: not the cleanest place, but i was also there super late at night. i like that they're open until 3am.
