Great lunch spot. I've been here 3x this year and so far I have tried the streak quesadilla and super burrito the times I've visited. The food was flavorful and they don't skimp on the portions. Very friendly staff. I believe there is only 1 regular parking spot and 2 handicap spots in the front of their restaurant. The rest is street parking.

My families favorite place to go all of the time. Best Mexican I’ve had in my life, super super cheap. best thing by far is the super nachos and super burritos from this place. Everything on it is always the best way.

This was my first time back at El Farolito since before they shut down when the pandemic hit in 2020. I'm glad to say that while their reopening was long overdue, they haven't lost their trademark flavor and generous portions for a great price! I hope they'll extend their hours in the future to their original closing time, but since the Suisun City El Farolito shuttered, it's good to know we can still get our El Farolito burrito fix in the East Bay!

I like hole-in-the-wall restaurants, especially Mexican food joints, but this one was bad. Restaurant was disheveled and dirty, and the food was tasteless and cold. We ordered at the front, and when the food was ready, it was brought to us and plopped in front of us. Didn't ask if we wanted hot sauce, extra chips, extra salsa, nothing. Then some idiot walks out and leaves the door wide open with a cold breeze coming into the restaurant, no one closing it even though an employee was over there multiple times to watch TV which was in the corner of the restaurant by the door. Unpleasant experience, poor food, poor service, questionable sanitation. Won't be back.

This taqueria looks like it is forgotten from the owner(s). Food quality was below average. Other Farolito taquerias are better than this one. I won't return.

The food is good, Oakland is still better. This location hours are all over the place. I still attempt driving by to catch them open & get my fave (super quesadilla).

Truly GOATED and yeah with the sauce. One of the best burritos in the Bay & also the chicken tacos go absolutely bananas. El Farolito on top forever. Like this location WAAAY better than the SF ones cuz Concord is dope lets
Stopped by to see if this one compares to the one in Oakland I've been going to and it's closed. Who closes at 5pm when all the restaurants around the area are still open?

The nachos were loaded down with generous portions of meat, sour cream, avocado, and gooey cheese (we requested no salsa). A real solid value for only $10. We opted to sit outside and they brought out high chairs for our kids along with the food. Jenbert Jr 1 loved this place. Tiny parking lot though. I'd come back here if I were in the area.

3.5 stars - El Farolito is one of my favorite burritos from SF so when I found out they had a location in Concord I had to try it. I ordered the Al Pastor Super Burrito for $8.75. They gave us chips at no extra charge. There's plenty of tables inside but we just ended up eating in our car. The quality and the taste were not comparable to the SF location but it was still decent compared to other spots in the Bay Area. I wouldn't go out of my way to come here but if I was in the area and was craving for a burrito, then I would come back.

Not the best, not the worst. Tried this place for lunch based on reviews here. When they said they don't have guacamole I should have known it wasn't going to be that great - a Mexican place that doesn't have guacamole? That's like a burger place not having fries!!! Carne asada burrito was ok, didn't really stand out buried in beans. Chips are store bought and are terrible...hard and very salty - I threw them away. The canned coke was the best part of the meal. Staff is friendly, I was the only where there (????) so it was quick. Price is good for what you get I assume. There are other places around here that are better but thought I'd give this place a chance. I won't be back.
