El Farolito Mexican Restaurant

The best in a town of great Mexican restaurants . I'm fond of the Carnitas but there are no stinkers on the menu. Beer selection and Margaritas are outstanding.

Their coffee has a hint of cinnamon . If you want authentic this is it. Great sopes , chilaquilles, and of course their menudo . For the menudo they usually run out early Sunday.

They have been making home style Mexican food since 1974. We always enjoy everything on the menu.

Simple menu of the usual suspects -- combinations and "house specials ". Let me help you: enchiladas verdes and Cadillac margaritas !

This place is amazing! Why is there always someone saying something negative? Nachos are the best! I usually get a papas plate with shred beef taquitos , taco and burrito . So good!

You guys make me feel in home again. Nice flavor, excellent portions and outstanding service . A must in the zone!

This place puts nearly all chain mexican restuarants to shame. The combo plates are an amazing deal and the food is even better. Im addicted to the wet burrito , enchilada combo :)

Great place and very affordable . Favorite breakfast dish : #44 huevos con chorizo . Favorite dinner : definitely their carnitas . Salsa is amazing, beans are perfect, Spanish rice is delicious, and I love

One of the best enchiladas I've ever had!!!

What can I say?! The house salsa alone is amazing. A bit spicy for me, but I usually indulge and pay for it later. My favorite is a bit simple but perfect, in my opinion. Chicken Enchiladas with a C

Opened 1974. Popular Mom & Pop Mexican restaurant . Old school ’70s decor.

What ever you order its GOOD... no it's GREAT. This place is original they even have grandmothers cooking in the back, feels as if your in your parents home town with your grandmothers food.

Great food. Try the Nachos Grande if you are hungry or share with the table. Add carne asada .

The food here is amazing!!!

Excellent salsa , great carnitas and rice that is actually delicious . Good prices too

Excellent, reasonably priced Mexican food , walking distance from CSU Fullerton.

Inexpensive , quick, and reasonably good! In a town with decent Mexican food , it's worth a visit.

Food was great and the service was to. Only thing is its super busy on Sundays so prepare to wait :-)

The beans the tacos enchiladas and just everything!

Mamas plate. Two cheese enchiladas . Done. OMNOMNOMNOM!!! One of my favorite Mexican places in OC.

Carne asada,burrito and the coffee is great

So good! Best place to get real authentic Mexican food in Placentia!

I love this place! Large portions , low prices and great food- it's a must try. Guy Fieri should showcase this place on Diners, Drive-ins and Dives.

The pork carnitas !

Great authentic Mexican food ...love the atmosphere...

They have the best food ever! Homemade everything!

Everything is good at El Farolito

Ask for your carnitas crispy

good execution of standard menu

The enchiladas are really good and the rice and beans that come with entrees are awesome.

Try the Three Taco Lunch Special - $7 lunch special #placentia

Order a michilata for brunch . The combo is excellent.

Try the machaca for breakfast or dinner , you'll thank me.

Try the Super (Carne Asada ) Fries

Great breakfast !

Try the Shredded Beef Taco Combo

Try the Crunchy Taco - $1

cheap eats in OC and in the CSUF area!! delish!!

Most authentic Mexican sit-down you're going to get in the Placentia area.

Great Menudo . But of course they ran out by the time I ordered. Crap-o-la

First time here, try the pork carnitas

Best tortilla strips on the face of the earth!

Carnitas plate

I agree with rennie

Get the chicken flautas !!

Not in the nicest area of OC (Placentia...aka...Northeast Anaheim) ... Salsa and chips are lacking. Simple to find a table...

Flautas are amazing!

Mama and papa plates are the bidnez such a good deal
