El Faro Restaurant

Decent mexican food at a good price.

This is a great Mexican restaurant on McLean Blvd in Elgin. You order at the counter then then pick up your food. There is seating for about only twenty people so it is a bit tight. They do offer all you can eat chips and salsa if you are eating there plus unlimited soda. The food was great this day.

By far some of the best Mexican food I have had. They have great meal deals if your on a low budget. I always get the Chicken tacos here and they are always good. Truth be told I give this place 4 1/2 stars, and the only thing that stops me from giving this 5 stars is that the tacos do not come with cheese and when I order my tacos I ask for extra cheese. so to me that means, put cheese on it, and then put more cheese than what you just put on it. But it seams that when I ask for extra cheese I still find myself looking for where they put the cheese which makes me sad since I pay extra for the cheese and then even more for the extra cheese..This is my go to Mexican place and I try to go at least once every week. maybe I should just start bringing my own cheese :(

The burritos are the best I've ever had, seriously! I have tried from various restaurants & this is the only place that I enjoy them from. I have yet to try any other menu items as I only come here for,..you guessed it, burritos. Also, the horchata is delicious & this place is clean. Thumbs up for their service..
