Do not use credit/debit cards here
I went in El Faro one Friday night around 10:30 pm. Got out of my car and noticed It smells like garbage around the back. So I Walked inside, only to be overwhelmed by how crowded it is. I order a burrito with Guacamole which was made relatively fast. Cool, I go home and eat my burrito, and yes, the burrito it's self was a pleasant experience.
Now, fast forward a couple days. It's now Monday. I check my credit card statement only to notice I was double charged. I call the restaurant and explain the problem. They say I need to come in Friday, to resolve my issue. That's 4 days away. The charge was only for $13.25, so I plead with them that I can just print out my statement from the credit card and show them for my money back. The lady takes a frim stance and just says "That's the way it's done". So now I have to incorporate driving to El Faro on my Friday afternoon, just for a chance to get my $13.

Good authentic Mexican food. $4.95 for a HUGE steak burrito is an excellent deal. If you're looking for a cheap meal and get a lot of food, this is the place.

Nice size burritos and when they are on they cant be beat. Must work on consistency with steak burritos. Good choice over all though.
