Farolito of Fullerton is a small but busy family-owned restaurant in the heart of old Fullerton. I've previously been to this restaurant's other location in Anaheim, El Farolito Jr, and the menu items here seem similar to those at the other location.The Chips & Salsa had freshly fried tortillas. The chips had a slightly greasy glean, but the salsa had a nice spicy bite. (3/5)I started with a Cheese Quesadilla. A warm tortilla filled with melted cheese. So simple. So tasty. (5/5)Birria Tacos are always welcome, and the Glorias QuesoBirria Tacos fits the bill. The consomé made for a great dipping sauce. Messy, but good. It could make for a good soup, a bit on the heavy side, but a thought for the future. The rice and beans on the side were more on the average side. (4/5)

Woah, I am beyond impressed with the food and service here!! First off, they provide complimentary chips and salsa, which both are insanely delicious!!!For my meal, I ordered basic street tacos but they had an incredible taste! All the ingredients were full of flavor and it was evident that everything was made fresh? However, in the past I've ordered different dishes and they've all been 5-star great! What also blew me away was the service! We had the pleasure to have Teo as our server whom went above and beyond; he was so attentive, patient, and helpful, I could tell he wanted my table to have the best experience!! While this location is in a weird business office building, the restaurant is super cute, clean and comfortable + it's in the heart of DTF! Don't miss TACO TUESDAYS, this is the spot!!

Always great service at this place. Feeling welcomed is HUGE! The food does its job but it's nothing to rant about. Cheese enchilada with red is super watered down. Shrimp fajitas plate has decent flavor, expect more veggies then shrimp. Rice & beans are good. Carne asada was over cooked so it wasn't as tender as my husband would have liked. My son enjoyed the birria tacos (a lot). It's a cozy little Mexican restaurant in downtown Fullerton. Great location.! We visit this restaurant a few times a year.

Farolito of Fullerton is a small Mexican restaurant in downtown Fullerton. It may be a little hard to find because the entrance is located in an indoor hallway. Once you find it, you will find that this place is a true gem! This restaurant's interior is nothing fancy, has about 10-15 tables or so. However, it is the service and delicious food that had us coming back! The items I recommend getting are the enchiladas, tropical salad, tostada salad, and the Mexican pizzas! They also have food specials throughout the week! They also have a full bar with draft beers. Come check out this place if you're in the mood for Mexican food and drinks, you won't be disappointed!

Farolito Fullerton is a hidden gem to us locals. But in these times, I think anybody could use a little extra business and they sure deserve it. The place is cute and clean. The staff is warm and friendly and they start you off with the best chips and salsa. Happy hour is three to six, five dollar margaritas, two dollar tacos. You have to check it out for yourself. I had the happy hour quesadilla with Carnitas and guacamole for 1195. I also had a Casamigos reposado margarita on the rocks with salt. I was not disappointed in this adorable downtown Fullerton spot. And I will definitely be back!

I didn't see the Yelp reviews before getting here and I'm honestly shocked. Came here on a Sunday afternoon, public parking garage in the back.Not too busy in the afternoon and got sat and helped immediately with chips and salsa. Sports on all the tvs and in view no matter where you're seated. Food came out quickly and even though i regret not getting the burrito my friend got. My plate was delicious. They didn't skimp out on providing plenty of shrimp. The steak was tender. Also they have a yelp exclusive for a free taco i took advantage of as well.Nice little surprise when i walked outside to see a farmers market to add to a great meal and walk off that dinner

My boyfriend had been to their other location. This one is in the heart of DTF! The chips and salsa was a fan fave! The salsa had the perfect kick to it and the chips were extra crispy just how I like em!I got two of the soft tacos .... I enjoyed the carne asada one! The vibes were fun :)

Let me start with, I'd give the salsa alone 6 stars. I used to love this place back in the day. Recently took my family for the first time in maybe 8 years and it's sad things have gone so far downhill. The food used to be really good, now seems fresh from the microwave. Used to be a good place to eat for cheap but the prices have almost doubled. I get that times are expensive, but for what they charge it's better to just go down the street to Wahoos! In addition they have automatic suggested tipping that starts at 22%

TL;DR $1.69 Taco Tuesday and they overcharge for regular Modelo for ~$8 so get Modelo Negro I guess for $4. We came in after 7pm so Happy Hour just ended.If you come with a party of 8 or more, automatic 20% gratuity added. Street tacos were good. They come with a set amount of onions, cilantro, limes, and green sauce. The horchata tasted fresh and my friend got their Hennchata which is Hennessy and Horchata.First time visit on 5/21/24
