Chilaquiles with Carne Asada — about $24

We both ordered the Mexican Chilaquiles – $15.99, which comes with refried tortilla chips cooked with scrambled eggs and hot sauce, covered in melted Jack and cheddar cheese, and served with rice and beans. We added carne asada for $7.30, so the total was about $24. Let me tell you… every single dollar was worth it.
When the chef brought out our plates, they were steaming — and I mean steaming hot. I absolutely loved that. The smell hit us right away, and it was mouthwatering. Just look at the picture and tell me it doesn’t make you hungry.
The eggs were cooked perfectly over medium, with that beautiful soft yolk. The carne asada was cooked medium and placed right on top of the red sauce tortilla chips that were still steaming underneath. Everything was hot, fresh, and full of flavor.
Now let me talk about those beans. Oh my goodness. I don’t know what they do to them, but they are incredible. They were so rich and smooth, I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if there’s a little lard in there because they were that delicious. And the rice? Fluffy, hot, and cooked perfectly.
The piece of carne asada was huge and such a great cut of meat. It was lean, tender, and had hardly any fat. Usually, carne asada gets stuck in my teeth and I’m reaching for floss later. Not this time. This was a clean, quality cut, and every bite was amazing.
There was so much food on the plate that I couldn’t finish it — but don’t get it twisted, every single piece of that carne asada was gone. It was just too good to leave behind.
I really wish they were closer to me because I would be here all the time. I’ve been coming here for the past 7 or 8 years, and somehow they just keep getting better. Chef’s kiss to the chef for such an incredible meal. Honestly, this is one of those “last meal request” kind of dishes.
Thank you to the entire team — from the waitress to the busser to the bartenders. Top-notch staff all around.
We will absolutely be back, and I will always recommend this restaurant.
Keep up the amazing work

Not as good as the original!!! The plates are far smaller for the same price. The service sucked! The staff was not interested at all. Why even seat us if you don’t want our business. Took 45 minutes to get more chips and then they passed us up for other tables also complaining they wanted more chips. Then the food came out under cooked and just greasy. No need to change a thing Farolito because we will never come back you can count on that. $100 for complete crap food. It’s not worth taking a chance you will end up wasting your money when there are 20 other Mexican restaurants surrounding this place.

Great food and service. It’s a little awkward when they hand you the credit card screen and the options for tipping start at 20% and go to 35%.

I gave 4 instead of 5 stars. The atmosphere is great for dining the flavor of the food is wonderful too. Mexican platters don’t usually have a lot of greens such a salads or things of that sort. So it is just the item you ordered and in this case a large burrito for lunch. This farolitos is quite busy during the Sunday lunch hour. Parking on Sundays is very convenient in the nearby multi-level parking structure which is a short walking distance. Update April 2023. Felt the salsa with the chips was a bit too hot for the general public, although it
may be ideal for the Latino pallet.

I visited this establishment with my wife and sister for our first time. The food was good but not exceptional. The salsa was delicious and the had a great bar. The seating area is small with only tables and no booths. Being close to others while you eat is very loud. The service was outstanding so we will be back.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Farolito, and I was not disappointed. The restaurant was bustling with activity, but the staff was attentive and efficient, ensuring that we were well-taken care of throughout our meal.

I started my meal with the Diabalito, a mango margarita that is served blended with a mini premium tequila bottle and garnished with a Tajin powdered rim. It was the perfect way to start my meal, refreshing and flavorful.

For my main course, I ordered the carnitas burrito, which was served wet. The carnitas were tender and flavorful, and the burrito was generously filled with all the fixings. It was one of the best burritos I’ve ever had.

The portions at Farolito are generous, so I had plenty of leftovers to take home. I was also impressed with the prices, which are very reasonable for the quality of the food.

Overall, I had a great experience at Farolito of Fullerton. The food was delicious, the service was excellent, and the atmosphere was fun and inviting. I highly recommend checking out this Fullerton staple if you’re looking for a great Mexican meal.
