El Forastero Méxican Food Reviews
I've been frequently to 2 other El Forastero spots and this one is always the best. Very quick service with better flavored ingredients than their other locations. I usually get a Cali burrito with guac and sour cream or a potatoes bacon eggs cheese with guac and sc. I have had enchiladas and those are good too with their rice and beans being decent. The salsas are also really good. I love how it still looks like the Taco Bell it used to be :)
Got the mangonada which were Amazing!!! Their tacos are huge which I love. They can be expensive so if you are getting dinner for the family expect to pay more. I got Nacho fries, 2 tacos, 2 mangonadas, and 3 rolled tacos and paid just under $50... Food was very good though.

The food has gotten much better here than when they first opened. The Birria tacos are excellent, as is the soup, but with summer coming up, my go-to is tacos al pastor or street tacos, as some of the bigger items on the menu can be a bit heavy.There is a huge selection on the salsa bar - Jalapeños and Carrots, Creme Salsa, Pico de Gallo, Tomatillo Salsa, sometimes radishes, limes, Chipotle Salsa and an extra hot salsa.There is also a red sauce, a green sauce and a habanero sauce...read full review
