Food: Mediocre morsels fall flat

Supposedly 'top dishes' such as the Taco Tuesday Street Taco and Three Enchiladas barely pass as ordinary. With menus that only look mediocre despite their large offering, and dishes that reek of blandness and disappointment, it's hard to find anything praiseworthy. Additionally, the poor quality of the shrimp and the unexpectedly small portions further stress the inadequacy of Farolito's culinary prowess. The abundance of items on offer only adds insult to injury.

  • Great Value

    Affordable, great food, and amazing value; very reasonably priced.

  • Okay Taste

    Some find food mediocre or bland, while others praise the delicious taste.

  • Small Portions

    Small portions negatively impacted overall dining experience for some guests.

Vibe: Disheartening ambiance kills mood

The atmosphere in Farolito is far from enticing, with descriptions of it being noisy, dark, and even dirty. Far from being the go-to place for a romantic outing, the place is stiflingly loud, exuding a vibe that lacks the charm and intimacy necessary for such occasions. The buzz of the restaurant is surprisingly just average, making the whole dining experience unremarkably Mexican

  • Great Drinks

    Extensive menu of innovative, handcrafted cocktails with friendly bartenders.

  • Okay Buzz

    Full restaurant, yet vibe was just OK, an unremarkable Mexican experience.

  • Bad Ambiance

    Descriptions of noisy, dark, and dirty ambiance negatively impact dining experience.

Perks: Inadequate provisions fall short

The perks, or lack thereof, are the cherry on top of a disappointing experience. The restaurant fails to make reservations, erasing any flexibility. Not being vegetarian-friendly also narrows down the diner demographic, thus alienating a significant proportion of potential customers. Even those who brave the noise for a family meal find themselves further dismayed due to the unsuitability for a family conversation.

  • Great For Groups

    Efficient, attentive service, accommodating large groups seamlessly.

  • Bad For Kids

    Super loud dining room; not ideal for family conversation.
