Not worth the price
by Kelly Jo at Citysearch
I have eaten at El Farols since I was young. I always order the same thing everytime I go in. I use to be able to eat a nice hot lunch for under $5.00. Now to get the same thing it costs me over $7.00, that for only a Beef Hard shell Taco and a cheese enchilada...no beans or rice. No kids menu..not kid friendly.....This is why I don't tip much.......more money for food....less tip from me.....
- Pros: Location
- Cons: $3.00 for a hard shell taco :(

Not worth the time
by garagerock101 at Citysearch
We ate here tonight after seeing their 4 1/2 star review total. I was surprised how many people seemed to enjoy the place. I ordered bean burrito-which came out looking as though someone just threw it together and popped it in the microwave. Tortilla was crusty, the cheese inside was clumped up. Their Nachos were barely comparable to Taco Bell
I wonder what happened? 2008 was a good year for them. Maybe they lost a cook? Changed management.
- Pros: Nice waitress
- Cons: Terrible food

Below average and not authentic
by dbd4 at Citysearch
After reading other reviews, we tried this place and were really disappointed. I love good, authentic Mexican food. In most Mexican restaurants, a good sign of authenticity is a large number of Mexican people eating at the restaurant. As we were eating, I didn't see a single Mexican person eating there. I ordered the chimichanga. Honestly, it tasted almost exactly like the frozen Jose Ole brand chimichanga I ate the day before for lunch. My wife's dinner (some kind of taco) was only slightly better. And the salsa tasted like Pace Picante. The rice was the only thing I enjoyed really. Not only was the food not at all authentic, it was below average in quality. That said, service was very good and everyone was friendly.
- Pros: Good rice
- Cons: The Food
