Taqueria El Farolito

Good food and service. They even had a guy singing and playing guitar. A nice touch.

There are many great burrito shops on international, but this is my go to. The prices are good and the meat is tasty. The inside is a little like a fast food place and the TV is always showing Soccer game. But the service is quick so good for take out. Street parking only, so parking can be a big problem. They close at 9:45 for some reason.

The staff doesn't speak much English, nor do many of the customers, so you know it's legit Mexican food.

Fish Burrito: big hearty burrito with pinto beans and what I'm guessing is Tilapia fish. Really good and filling. I do wish it came with some pico de gallo or salsa or something fresh. Next time I might get the "Super" fish burrito which has avocado in it.

Super Nachos: An epic nacho with refried beans, cheese, jalapenos, sour cream, and avocados. Probably best shared, because it is huge. Wish it came with some salsa.

Cocktail De Camaron (Prawn Cocktail) - This one was a bit underwhelming. A shrimp cocktail.

Great burritos that are perfectly filling, the tacos are out of this world, the tortilla chips are thin and crispy, the salsa is awesome (especially the salsa verde), great homemade drinks, great atmosphere, very kind staff, and overall very authentic. This really is the ideal Mexican restaurant. It's next to public transit so it's easy to get to. It is also in one of the most vibrant and authentic neighborhoods in the city. Really don't have one bad thing to say about this place.

I ordered a chicken super quesadilla with some tortilla chips and horchata to drink(12 bucks for all this, a steal imo). My order was ready almost a minute after I paid so in terms of speed this the fastest I ever received my food at a place like this. The quesadilla was big and the taste wasn't overpowering because the choice of meat. The green tomatillo salsa was way better than the red salsa, it's not to say the red one was bad but this salsa is really unique. It tasted really fresh, almost cold and had a real nice spicy kick to it. The chips and horchata were pretty standard, they really rounded off this meal perfectly.
