PURE GEM! This is my favorite spot. Even though it’s the “Jr” location - I prefer this location. The green sauce here is my favorite in the whole world. It’s always very clean in here. Staff is always friendly, quick and helpful. I have been cooking here for years. You guys carry my favorite asada around. Divorce style is freaking amazing - 1/2 red 1/2 green. & the el diablito mango frozen margarita is my favorite drink. You’re asada, green and red sauce and el diablito margarita cannot be beat! I love you guys!!!!!

This is the place to go to in Fullerton for authentic delicious Mexican food like mama or abuelita used to make! From the chips and salsa to the entrees. The place is inviting and the service was excellent. Well done Farolitos!

Great food and service. It's a little awkward when they hand you the credit card screen and the options for tipping start at 20% and go to 35%.

Tried both their Asada and their Pastor taco Tuesday deals (24oz draft and 3 tacos)Sorry I ate one before I took a picture- I was hungry. And they were both good. Although they offer fewer types of tacos than Matador , the patron attention is better. I recommend their taco Tuesday. UPDATE: The people that attend continue to be friendlier. This go round I struck up a conversation about the Carnitas served here and some other establiments and some of their better offerings.

Went out with colleagues to a local Mexican food joint. Good service and excellent food. I opted for the shrimp dinner which was not bad at all. Also enjoyed their chips and salsa!

Great experience. Quiet because it was a weekday afternoon and then it started to fill up. They have great customer service and the food was delicious. Prices were reasonable and we had food to take home. Definitely some where to go to again and again.
