Cordially lion went in saying roar to Anna the worker and she gave us burritos and chicken quesadilla with a bonus coffee and coke. She went above and beyond anybody else. Arctic circle chased us away. Meetings Monday through Friday

My family has been celebrating here my whole life! The Bean Dip and the Mexican Plate are AMAZING!!!! On this occasion, Lolita, the owner, called to confirm our reservations and ask if we had any special requests. She was so kind and helpful. The day of our party, we had the back room all to ourselves, which is great because we are a little loud when we all get together. Our waiter (Sorry, I can't remember his name, was great, and even though our orders were a little confused, he took the charges off of the bill without a problem. We will be back!

I grew up going here with my parents. I took my wife on our first date her and one day my children will eat here along with us. We love the food! And we absolutely love the staff. They treat like friends from the moment we step in to the moment we leave. I recommend to everyone!

This place is a hidden gem. The carne asada is real carne asada. Not too sure about the carnitas but everything else was delicious. The thing that separates this place is the customer service. Spot on with everything throughout dinner service. They brought stuff out without us even having to ask. That’s a 10/10 in my book.

This place was awesome, it has a hole in the wall feel but the food was really good. I had a chimichanga with carnitas and it was excellent. Chips came out warm and the salsa is tasty. I love this type of Mexican food. The prices are good and show that they use high quality products. Our server was very attentive and took care of us. She kept our drinks full and everything felt like they wanted to make us happy. I asked for extra cheese and that is exactly what I got. This place does it right!

Friendly staff and yummy food! I go to different Mexican restaurants for different things. For me El Farol does a really tasty hard shell chicken taco! I just recently tried their nachos which were great! I think next time I go, I need to ask for their restaurant-made chips for the chips and salsa

Good food! Fun atmosphere. We tried the habanero lemonade and were very impressed! The fried ice cream was great. Definitely coming back.
