Best nasty restaurant of my life

You want dirty but excellent? Nothing describes Farolito better then that. The staff is nice, the Quesadillas are sick.

Best deal in town - hands down

Tarqeria El Farolito, with two locations in the Mission, is the best deal on food, all cuisines considered. Every time you go in, you know what to expect. The Super Nachos ($4.95) are about five pounds of...

No frills dining

Rough area, rough clientele, very good tacos. Went after walking around the auto show for hours, we were really hungry and this was a cheap although precarious choice.

Farolito is still king!

I've been going to El Farolito for almost 12 years now. It's a bit more expensive than it used to be and they post that they charge for chips (but they don't for the regulars), but it's still best. Friends say...

Best Burritto in the city

But it is on the small side (as far as taqueria burrittos go, still plenty for the buck) and it's a little more expensive than you'd expect. The food is great, though. It's a must after a fun night boozin and...

Best burrito after 2 AM!

Eating at El Farolito after the bars close is San Francisco's equivalent of London's beer-and-vindaloo-curry combination - spicy salsa makes the food delicious anytime, but especially after 2 AM!
