El Farol Mexican Restaurant

I love this place! I moved from Texas in 2000 and really missed good Mexican food. My husband brought me to this restaurant, and it immediately reminded me of home. They truly have the best Mexican food in Utah! The restaurant is very kid-friendly and family-oriented. You’re treated like family from the moment you walk in. It’s the best place to eat if you want real, authentic Mexican food. The staff is amazing, and you’ll always see the owners walking around greeting customers. It’s always a wonderful experience eating here!

El Farol is hands-down my all-time favorite! I’ve been coming here for years and Lola and Roberto always make you feel like family. You can’t go wrong with their legendary enchilada sauce or the deep-fried tacos—they are a 10/10 every single time.

The tacos were fresh and juicy and the crispy shell, held it all together. I never seen a tacos so full of meat. Most place are stingy with their meat but not this place. I got full after 3 tacos. Never happened ever in my life. I really like this place. So satisfying and I didn't get that feeling of eating too much it went down easy. Love the staff too.

Ordered chicken chimichanga and fried ice cream. Salsa has a strange taste and so does the chimichanga, beans, and rice. Feels like everything was canned or frozen. The whipped, caramel, and chocolate flavored toppings on the fried ice cream tasted off. The crispy shell the ice cream came in was flaky. But to me all the flavors were off. Service was good and the restaurant decor is colorful.

This place was awesome, it has a hole in the wall feel but the food was really good. I had a chimichanga with carnitas and it was excellent. Chips came out warm and the salsa is tasty. I love this type of Mexican food. The prices are good and show that they use high quality products. Our server was very attentive and took care of us. She kept our drinks full and everything felt like they wanted to make us happy. I asked for extra cheese and that is exactly what I got. This place does it right!
