El Faro

Great Mexican lunch buffet. The staff was super friendly and makes you feel right at home.

We ended up coming here after seeing the good reviews. We all love hole-in-the-wall places, so we are looking forward to it. Our server was really nice and attentive at first. My friend and I ordered Migas to share, and our other two friends shared the Molcajete. We asked for chips and salsa because it was not provided. She said she'd bring some out and didn't come back for a long time. She came back and refilled our drinks, so we asked again. She apologized and said she'd bring them out. We ended up getting our food first. The Molcajete seemed to be good. Our eggs were delicious, but the potatoes were gross. I didn't care for the beans either. Finally a guy brought us chips but no salsa. Then nobody came to our table the rest of the time until we were about ready to leave. It started off as a seemingly good experience, but we were not impressed. Manager seemed very friendly though.

Excellent. Family and I were visiting Austin and happened upon this quaint restaurant after a Google search. All the food was great, from the salsa to the enchiladas to the fajitas to the rice and beans. If this restaurant were in my home town, I'd be going there often. Owner and staff were great. Only problem is that they close at 1:30 every afternoon, so they're not open for supper.

Fresh and fantastic food that reminds me of grandma's cooking. Great place! Bunch of smiles by the staff and everyone else there.

This place is so cute. Really authentic Mexican food. Great salsas and it's awesome to see that this place is actually operated by the family. Was my first time here. Will definitely be coming back.
