Simple put, El Farolito makes the best damn burrito in the entire world as far as I'm concerned. That crumbled chorizo was seriously unbelievable. Read all about it on WinstonWanders below!! Read more

Eater

Farolito is open late at night, which is the best time to eat their delectable carne asada super burrito . This burrito does not discriminate, especially when you are imbibing. Read more

Paul Cho

These burritos are massive. Next time I need to remember to ask for less rice . The el pastor is really good and so is the carne asada

Loren Worsley

BF & I really enjoyed this cozy little spot on our San Fran visit. Enchiladas were especially delicious! Sweet Mexican tunes & some crazy homeless people wandering about really rounded out the vibe.

nora walker

the BEST burrito in San Francisco. carne asada super burrito is the way to go. quesadilla para dos is massive and also tasty. cash only !

Lily

Part of the burrito trinity and for good reason; this might be the best burrito in town . Go for the super burrito with carne asada , but you won’t be disappointed with any choice here. Cash only .

Christine Borkowski

The quesadilla super suiza was so good! Get the full experience by dining in or decide to take it to go. Either way your food is going to be authentic and delicious. Hit up the salsa bar too!

SFist

Like chunky, thick cuts of meat over your nachos ? Then this is the place to go. The sliced avocado and jalapeños are also plentiful. Prepare to gorge on the toppings and the thicker than normal chips . Read more

SFist

El Farolito stays steamy until 1:30 a.m. in the Excelsior, 2 a.m. on 24th Street, and 3:30 a.m. by 24th and Mission BART, for those nights when only a burrito will save you from the approaching dawn. Read more

Do the super burrito (adult hand for scale).

Lengua tacos are very tasty and juicy. The al pastor tacos are quite good as well - flavorful, slightly spicy , and moist. The salsa verde was a refreshing, slightly zesty complement.

Herro Kitty

I had the chicken quesadilla paired with a iced horchata and a couple tacos con asada. All super yummy and flavorful. The quesadilla itself is enough to satisfy your hunger imo. 8/10

Martin Angulo

Definitely try their Super Burrito with carne asada . With each bite you take you're able to taste the char and spices in the meat. Probably one of the best spots for genuine Mexican food .

Luke Bornheimer

Al pastor is the way to go (so good!). Also, ask them to grill your tortilla slightly longer for extra crispy deliciousness. Chips are mediocre, but the salsas are delicious, especially the green one.

Peter

Great burrito : The Super one with fried pork ... delicious ... tender met - and big. you'll have to wait in line though. 7.75+tax. chips +65c

SFist

The carnitas taco is a great place to start here, but this is a great place to break out into some of the more adventures options. Round out your taco trio with something you've always wanted to try. Read more

Vicky O

Authentic burritos lots of locals come here. It’s hugggeeee the size of your arm!

Brendan Curran

There's usually a long line , but it's worth waiting. Part of the holy trinity of taquerias , along with Cancun and La Taqueria .

Ve Ra

Wow, this is definitely the best Mexican place I've been in my life so far. If there are 2 of you looking for some food - take this insanely good quesadilla para dos <3

Tate Williams

I grew up in Arizona and this is one of the best burritos I've ever had. Carne Asada super burrito . Warning though this place gets packed and tough to get a table.

Dana Jensen

The burrito had some ingredient-distribution issues, but holy hell were the good bites good. Got the al pastor super burrito . It's a good choice. Chips were really stale but salsa/sauce was fantastic.

Jesper Bylund

I flew in from Sweden to revisit this place. It was worth it. This burrito is amazing.

Felix Chu

Carne asada Super Burrito , best I've ever had. Crispy carne asada tacos (- sour cream ), amazing. Endless green salsa , yes. Urine smell at the front door, ehh I could do without. Cheap ! Delicious! Done

Grace S.

Super carne asada burrito , quesdilla super suiza, and get a side of the awesome el pastor meat! You can eat it with the free tortilla chips , green sauce and salsa .

Sara

Get the carne asada super burrito . So delicious. Add a Pacifico beer and you have the perfect meal. They are huge!!

Max Blue 🚴🍔

holy moly, the quesadilla super suiza are the most epic quesillada I ever ate.

Irina Botea

The tacos here are famous for a reason, but the lines are huge. They've opened another shop in the Mission, so better check that one out in case you're lacking patience.

Damon Sununtnasuk

Best late night mission style burrito . Cash only . I recommend the carne asada (grilled steak ).

Oliver H

Hands down my top burrito pick in SF. Al pastor burrito or super burrito is the nuts , with the salsas and pickled vegetables .

Joanna Flamm

My favorite burrito . Super hole in the wall , cash only . Best burrito you'll ever have! Open till 2 which is late in SF :)

Melissa Franco

Best Mexican food around here!! Great service and delicious, super burrito and super suiza quesadilla are my fave.

Brenden Mulligan

Get the Saag Paneer ! Carne asada saag paneer with guacamole is soooooo good.

William Held

The tacos are killer and not expensive . The Al Pastor tacos were of a quality you would expect and the Lengua surprised me with how delicious it was.

Jerry Collins

Have had a burrito here twice and highly recommend this as a destination for other out of towners like me. The setting isn't much to look at but the line is akways out the door.

Chris Vodola

No scene here. Just the real deal. Brooklyn pizzeria style seating (sorry but that's my best comparison). Best burrito I've ever had.

Krista Vogel

Got the carne asada super burrito as suggested, and it was amazing. It's huge, too - probably could have split one. And the green salsa rocks!

Janko Milunovic

quesadilla super suiza is amazing. very authentic place and great value for money .

Max Blue 🚴🍔

Eat a Burrito . Don't forget to make it super. No need to say more. Even sober delicious!

Sarah Trott

A single super burrito is enough for two adults

Kaleigh Kenny

Burritos are great, but I always found myself craving the quesadilla super suiza (even if I hated myself for eating all of it afterward).

Mary Dawson

One of the best burritos I've had! Highly recommend the Al Pastor Super Burrito 👍

Hakeem Bilal

Carne asada super burrito 🌯 and the salsa bar , albeit simple and unassuming, is utter happiness

Yanoz

Steak super suiza quesadilla is all you need to order. I had one while visiting and moved to San Francisco shortly thereafter (not kidding)

Maya 🐟

Here's how you make a girl from California happy. Step 1) Bring her back to CA. Step 2) Give her a real f'ing burrito . Yup.

Gabriel Suits

This is the best spot for a "traditional" burrito in SF, hands-down. 7x7 lists their Carne Asada burrito as a must-eat of 2012, but you really can't go wrong.

squeasel

Decent late night burritos , for northern California. Seriously, growing up in San Diego, almost any hole in the wall there beats the most ridiculously touted here. I'm evil for saying so? Fine.

Lucero Viktoria

be hungry. you've got to mentally prepare for the massiveness that is this burrito . super carne asada burrito with everything, and then the ensuing food coma.

Zachary Reiss-Davis

The Super Suiza Para Dos is amazing drunk food; A quesadilla out of two XL tortillas , meat, cheese , sour cream , steak , avocado , salsa -- really big enough for three people!

Noah Weiss

The burritos are good, but the carne asada quesadilla super suiza is the real star.

Steve Metz

Best Mexican in The City . Personal faves are Super Burrito-Al Pastor, Black Beans , Extra Salsa and Quesadilla Super Suiza . CASH ONLY !!
