About El Farolito
The Taqueria on Mission Street
El Farolito started small. One spot on Mission Street, one grill, one menu. Now there are 10 locations across the Bay Area, but the food hasn't changed.
The Food
The super burrito is what people line up for: a stuffed flour tortilla with your choice of meat, rice, beans, cheese, sour cream, and sliced avocado. Carne asada, pollo asado, al pastor, and chorizo come off the grill all day.
The rest of the menu holds up too. Quesadillas suizas, crispy flautas with guacamole, loaded nachos, enchilada plates, tacos on corn or flour. The salsa bar has green, red, and pico de gallo. The verde goes fast.
Open Late
The Mission Street flagship stays open past 3:00 AM most nights. After concerts, club nights, and Giants games, this is where San Francisco ends up. It's been that way since the '80s.
All 10 Locations
From the original Mission District spot to North Beach, Oakland, San Jose, Concord, and the North Bay. Same food at every one.
