Jan 2025. Ordered through their website, which launched recently for online ordering. This is a great choice, as it kept me from waiting after placing a walk up order with the kitchen staff. Order was accurate and for quickly prepared food, our burritos, fajita plates, were prepared, as expected. I prefer their mild crushed salsa and their hot/picante salsa doesn’t hit.

Editing my previous review.
After going back many times, El Faro’s in Concord has been consistently excellent. Their chips, salsa, chicken burritos, and service has been flawless. I ordered online, and they were ready for me.

Excellent restaurant, best breakfast burritos I’ve had in this area, fantastic boiled red sauce chicken (far better than everyone else in this entire region), and fantastic service. Great people and great food.

Really love catering from El Faro. It is a consistent crowd pleaser for us and great value for the price. Appreciate them making my life so much easier when hosting people 🙂

My lunch at El Faro was one to forget, my fish tacos were super hot (temperature wise) and consisted of a stale soft taco tortilla and a smidge of lettuce. A pity. Across the table a burrito did not look appealing either. It was sent back unfinished. I am not an expert in Mexican food but I can say that El Faro has no business pretending to offer some.

The Shrimp Burrito is my go to at El Faro. Shrimp, bell peppers, onions, rice, and cheese… add some hot salsa, and everything tastes great!

If you don’t try the Quesabirria tacos you are wasting your life away. This place is always straight fire, fast, easy and authentic.

Much better options in the area, hard pass here.

A few problems with this place – nowhere to eat, high prices, debit card tax, and poor food quality. Need I say more? I will.

Nowhere to eat – When I visited last week they had the dining area closed. Disappointment, but I ordered anyway. Figured I’d eat outside. No such luck. Plenty of great areas outdoors for a few tables but nothing. Sat on a dirty uncomfortable planter edge and ate.

High prices – Why are prices here 20% higher than comparable Bay Area Mexican food? ~$10 for a super burrito?

Debit card tax – Wow, they add a surcharge of 3.5% for a debit card, so let’s make that 23.5% higher than comparable Bay Area Mexican food!
So the price posted on the menu is not accurate. This is actually a violation of their merchant agreement and should be reported to Visa or MC. Credit cards are okay for a surcharge but not debit cards.

Poor food quality – I ordered a carnitas super burrito, and unfortunately only the price was super (expensive). Just tasted like watery beans. How do you make pork flavorless? They also forgot sour cream. My spouse got carnitas super nachos and those were not so super. Thanks for the total of three jalapeños by the way, sadly we dropped one on the ground while trying to balance on the planters outside eating.

Never again. El Farolito is my goto standard and while similar in name, this place stinks!

I love this place I’ve been going here for years. They have fast service and also very friendly people who work there. Great prices an amazing food! I highly recommend going to this place! Very small place that packs a powerful punch! Update September 21st 2021. Unfortunately I took it down two stars because of their service is so slow and unreliable it is frustrating! You are a delivery person today is really unorganized with the process and frustrating to try to make delivery for them.

One of the worst mexican places I ever been, food is bad service its worst and the place not good at all! I’m from San Francisco and there’s other El faro or el farolito in San Francisco, I really though this one was going to be the same as the other ones in San Francisco but what a surprise it’s the worst I been so far! Really hope the owner get to read this post and does something about it!
