El Faro

Went to the El Faro on State St. Parking wasn't easy to find, but I found a map. I will post. We both ordered the flautas, which were very good. We also started with steak nachos. Single layer nachos on cut up tostada, amazing. The service was great, we were only people in the place for about 15 mins then some to-go's picked up and another table was sat. Beans, rice, escabeche, nachos, and flautas. Everything was very good. I will eat here again. Also they have pictures of most of their food on the walls. The nachos were so good, we forgot to take pics, lol.

I order the Wednesday special 3 burritos for 14.65 after tax. I asked for steak with everything but lettuce and tomatoes. They gave me the wrong order and had an attitude when I returned. I informed the lady that I received the wrong order. She took the bag back with attitude and I told her again steak with no lettuce and tomatoes. So I waited and the cooks came to the window staring at me and then he points to the bag and that's when I asked for a refund and at first the lady refused but when I got loud she gave me a refund. This was the worst experience ever. I was so upset that they was upset with me cause they didn't get my order correct. To top it off one of the burritos didn't even have meat on it. Bad customer service!

Burritos are a bit different from El Faro in Summit but they are still good and tasty, tacos are different for me this time - they are with the steak and cilantro & onions, and quite good, though slightly subpar compared to Los Comales. Hours are great for Elgin hours as they close at 1am - certainly not 24 hours like Summit but still good enough for me when going home from work. Will definitely come back for more, especially the salsas!
