This is the first time I have written a review. There aren't many restaurants I would write a review on. Throughout college I worked as a waitress, so I tend to enter restaurants with a preconceived opinion upon my first impression. However, this is not the case, I have been dining here since the late 70's and have been bringing my children f or the last 10. They too now love it as I do. We now live in Maryland and we frequently go through mexican food withdrawls. If I had the chance, I would open up a chain of el Farolito restaurants out here on the east coast. People here have no clue when it comes to preparing Mexican food. I lived in Mexico for 6 months and this food is the closest to the meals my Mexican family use to prepare for me. Try it once and you'll be hooked! My favorite meal is the chicken burrito. The red sauce is so yummy! Meals for children are appropriate and not so spicy, just as it should be. Park in the back if you do not find space in front. We will be visiting Placentia where I grew up this Christmas, and we plan to order El Farolito's best for our Christmas family dinner. \r
I can't wait! Salud!
Pros: great old ladies in the kitchen
Cons: same ole mints after dining
