Great place to get a quick bite!
I wish I had taken pictures!! Stopped in after MANY years.. possibly over a decade of not having El Faro food. I used to frequently go to the location off 20 when I lived in Elgin and then the Dundee location when I lived in Carpentersville. Still great service. Food was delicious and VERY filling. All fresh ingredients. Staff was friendly and helpful. The restaurant was clean and organized. There was a small band playing when I got there but left soon after I arrived. There is a good amount of parking in front of the restaurant but you can also park on the street on the blocks surrounding the restaurant. Also, never noticed the ice cream shop next door! I will bring my teenager next time.
Food was great 2 years ago. I used to buy from here alot, thought I would try again and got a burrito and threw most of it in the garbage. The carna asada was uncut, low grade and very much fat pieces. I called to complain and they really didn't care. If you eat in, they give you the better cut meat. THE QUALITY IS TERRIBLE. IF YOUR LOOKING FOR GOOD MEXICAN FOOD PLEASE DO NOT GO HERE.
