Don"t know how this place got 4.5 stars. Steak burrito had burnt over cooked pieces of meat along with a big piece of gristle. Condiments inside burrito were not well distributed. Got to one piece of tomato halfway down and lettuce was present till I got two thirds the way down. Pork taco meat had no texture. It was like so cut up it tasted like mush. Gave a tip to the cashier person taking my order and he didn't acknowledge a thank you. Won't be coming back.
Quality has immensely dropped in the past couple years. The food had much more flavor and the service was great. Now the food and salsa isn't as good and the last three times in a row I've gone my orders were always incorrect. I wouldn't given this 5 stars a couple years back but they have really gone downhill. Really can't recommend them anymore. If you want some decent Mexican food give Zacatacos a try. I've had a couple issues with them but recently their quality and service has only gone up. Rip Faro, I hope someday you can go back to what you once were...
My Favourite Mexican Restaurant ! Their stake burritos are incredible ???? And their prices are too decent. Highly recommended !
