Los Faroles Taqueria

burrito was ok, not as good or big as el taco grande next to gateway. Not to mention .50 cent more!

Ordered the chorizo breakfast burrito, your basic burrito, But only gets a 2 because:

1. smaller burrito. (still good portion)
2. does not taste as good.
3. costed 5 dollars, to a 4.50 at el taco grande.

Green sauce was pretty good though, I will give them that!

This was my first visit to Los Faroles Taqueria.
I enjoyed the food but felt it was a bit over priced compared too some other taquerias I have been too.
I ordered the Chicken Taco for $2.25 and the Chicken Sope for $3.00
The amount of chicken was abundant  on the taco and was on top of 2 small corn tortillas.  A bit of onion and cilantro was placed on top and a garnish of lime on the side.
The taco was nice and warm.  The salsa verde (green sauce) was the perfect combination of  spiciness and warmth (I am a gringo about spicy food lol)
I prefer a leaner shredded chicken over the boiled and chopped up kind.  My only complaint about the chicken was that it had a few grisly patches.

The Chicken Sope was topped chicken, beans, lettuce, shredded cheddar cheese blend and sour cream.
The beans were AMAZING.
My only complaint was that it was missing Queso Cotija (mexican cheese).  Instead they opted to add shredded cheddar and mozzarella blend cheese.  This totally threw the taste of the entire sope off.
All in all it was a good meal.

The ambiance was a little awkward at times. The Taqueria is in the Springfield Bus Station so you have a lot of different types of people coming and going and walking in and out. The large screen TV alternated playing muffled Spanish music and men talking loudly and abruptly.  
While the building offered a lot of seating space, it felt very confusing as to whether I was supposed to be enjoying a hispanic taqueria atmosphere or a trendy fusion restaurant.

In the end I thought the food was good but pricey. I would come back again...for the Sope =)

This is a good Mexican Restaurant, but it isn't really a place to bring your family for a sit down meal. It is always clean & they have great service. However, it is at a city bus terminal & set-up more like a open mall eatery. They offer the standard Mexican fare found at a hundred other Mexican joints.
