Food is very good, but the last two time s we used the drive through, they add extra charges without telling us!

It's a decent Mexican food restaurant, I appreciate that they are drive through. My husband loves it and probably goes about twice to three times a week

The young man that takes orders at the drive through seems to be a very polite person.always very professional.

I stop here every time I go to the peninsula. It's a must! Love the breakfast burritos and happy burrito!

It's okay. I wouldn't eat here again. The tomatoes were out at room temp that made them spoil. Staff showed no care when making the food. The burritos were soggy, due to not draining the beans or meat before putting it in the tortilla. It had an okay taste but for price, you can get better food elsewhere.

It’s good for dine in, take out and delivery. I love their portion size and the menu. Its a good value for your dollar spent.

The birria burrito on the weekend is awesome. Love the pupusas and that they have baby quesillas as well. The drive thru helps a lot. Been going to this particular location for a few decades now.

Food was good as usual cause I got the taco combo plate. The taco shell I wished was a little more crispy/crunchy but I have never had bad food here. This review is purely based on the taco shell and the experience based off that. Everything else was great and the chips and salsa was good too (salsa a bit vinegary).

I was very surprised my super steak burrito only had beans and steak piece & my super steak nachos. The sour cream was runny it look like they throw in a hurry. I also stop there once a week for dinner. What's happening the food different

Usually place is decent but this time not so good. Order nachos and they looked like soup. The rep at The drive thru also had a bad attitude. I couldn't even eat the nachos, should have got a a spoon.

The Nachos were soggy. I ordered a side of Enchilada sauce the sauce had a long black hair swimming in it.
As I pulled around the corner a staff member was smoking a cigarette with her gloves on and didn't change or take her gloves off when she went inside; instead, she kept them on and started working
The cashier was super rude. Not going back.

Burrito tortilla was barely heated with raw spots. The rice and beans were both dripping wet. Carnitas was bland and boiled. Bad soup in a raw tortilla pretty much sums it up.

Our go to for Mexican food. El Faros is tried and proven. Been around for decades. There's a reason why there's always people there.

My parents and I have been going to this restaurant since near its conception. It is a must stop if you like authentic mexican food.

They also do have a drive-thru option too for those on the go.
