We ate here twice this week. That’s how good it was. I took my young kids along and they are obsessed with the “Hungry kid” meal. my kids bragged about the French toast.My husband had the “carne frita” that came with rice, beans and avocado. I had the “mofongo de carne” and it was just to die for!!!It was so much food! We will make it a weekly thing for sure!Kid-friendliness: My kids loved the food and the staff. We had Florentina serve our table abs she was so nice and accommodating with my little ones. We will definitely come back often! The food was delicious!
Great breakfast, great service. my first time there. I will definitely be back.

The place is convenient, plenty of parking. Went in on a Sunday. (BTW Closure is on 4 PM instead of 7 PM as of time of this review).The place had plenty of seating, liked the places to hang coats right next to the seat. The french toast was ok, the chicken and waffles was great; highly recommended. the homefries were ok too.If you're into tea, i propose skipping it here, was lukewarm and not the best but otherwise decent experience.

Sadly, would not recommend. I wanted to like this place but it wasn't good. The potatoes and omelette were overcooked. It appeared dirty and like they haven't updated anything in decades (seats cushions were ripped and it was cluttered) Although the service was good, unfortunately it is not worth going back.

I hit this place every now and then, but I really should be a regular. Nice people, good service, great food. A bit of a diamond in the rough, but exactly the kind of old school diner this town should cherish and support.

I’ve been going to Fari’s for a couple of years now and it’s easily the best diner in the North Andover-Lawrence area. Most other spots in NA will be closed at unpredictable times or have inconvenient hours, so I’ve naturally ended up at this diner very frequently. It’s everything that a classic diner should be: extremely fast and easy service (not to mention friendly), super low prices, and of course amazing food. Along with all the essential all-day breakfast and grill options, this place has a significant Caribbean cultural influence that lends itself to some of the best dishes I’ve ever tried (like the pork carnitas mofongo plate). Everything I’ve tried here is incredible for such a modest and rather hidden-away establishment, and even after leaving a beyond well-deserved tip (which never feels like enough), I’m always shocked to see how low the bill is. Don’t be fooled by Fari’s relative lack of recognition in the community or its unfortunately tucked-away location; it’s the best spot to go if you need breakfast or lunch and you need it fast and cheap. Try the home fries and the chicken and rice soup, and don’t forget to thank me later. ¡Viva Fari’s!

Very fast service, very helpful staff, now there are people who speak Spanish which there were not before. So I continue to recommend that wonderful little corner.
The food was subpar. The ambiance was indicative of a dinner. The customer service was horrible our server seemed to be under the influence of some type of substance that impaired her judgment. She never checked on the tablet nor did seem knowledgeable of the menu. Furthermore, when we paid for the bill she never returned with the card. We had to physically go up to her and retrieve tour debit card.
