El Farolito Mexican Restaurant - Mexican restaurant in Placentia - 201 S Bradford Ave, USA

A great friend of ours highly recommended this place, and we weren't disappointed. My honey got the salad burrito with shredded beef and I got the shredded beef burrito and both were fantastic. The salsa is homemade from what we can tell and it's super delicious. It's spicy but not over bearing, and it has a lil bit of heat that stays with you. It was definitely worth the drive.

Food was ok. I had two taquitos and they had no flavor. Beans and rice were good at least. Tostada was good. My wife had the chile rellenos which were good.

I've been here over 8 times now! Every visit is a treat for my taste buds, and my favorite dish is hands down the arroz y pollo. The salsa is fantastic and spicy, which adds an extra kick to every bite. The staff is always friendly and welcoming, and they make me feel like a valued guest every time I visit. The atmosphere is casual but it is truly a gem.

Fabulous and flavorful food. Everything I’ve had is excellent but I keep coming back to their carnitas. Order them crispy for an extra treat. Lard is prominently used - enjoy the flavor! It’s why the beans are delicious. The rice is delicious. Damn you guys. Even the usually forgettable sides are excellent. Don’t fill up on the chips and salsa!

The food was really good. I was expecting the Camarones a la Diabla to be quite a bit more spicy. The salsa for the chips was pretty spicy. The dining area is in a tent or in the "living room." The restaurant is a converted home. Parking is only on the street, there is no parking lot. The staff is very responsive and quite active. There are more than enough wait staff to take care of guests quickly and courteously. A very nice, relaxed eating experience.
