Ignore anyone complaining about the decor. It is AWESOME! It would be tragic if they ever updated the inside. It s so special, so real and so rare, full of beautiful vintage Mexican art from the 1930s through the 1970s. And the food is the best Mexican food you will probably find within 200 mile radius. I m from San Antonio, the birthplace of modern Tex Mex, and this food is the real deal and beats out or rivals the best of San Antonio! I m also a huge food snob (in that I really appreciate well made dishes) and this place never disappoints

It was the worse mexican restaurant experience we had today. What a waste time and money with highly disappointment.... So, we went here during lunch break time. Our wait staff forgot our few orders, and lack of communication. When they finally brought our orders, my husband and I were so disappointed. Lack of portions, tasteless side dish, in my opinion, its overpriced quality. Booth chairs feels like bounce house spring. Person who was sitting behind me was keep pounding, and my whole back was rebouncing like that big exercise ball. I notice this chair dont have middle support hardboard. What a joke.... This place main parking entrance is very confused then what Google map said. And lack of parking space.... NEVER COMING BACK AGAIN!!!! Parking: No proper line, no proper entrance.

Farolitos is our very favorite Mexican food place in Abilene. The people are super friendly, and the service is great. I love the Mexican plate but exchange beef for a cheese enchilada because I love the cheese and onion. The hot sauce is fantastic! We have eaten here for over 30 years and always love it. We have never ordered anything we didnt like. They have had a hard time getting enough kitchen staff lately, so you have to call to see if and when they will be open at night. Hope they can work it out soon!

Nice hole in the wall kinda place. Awesome staff and service - hands down! Seems to be popular with a crowd, but a small dining area so come early. Clean, but very outdated. This place needs a makeover. The margarita was great, the chips were fresh, and the queso was okay, but everything was terribly over-salted. The cook is heavy-handed with the salt, so if thats your thing youll like it. Its not hard to find, but its not easy to get to either.

The food has FLAVOR. I am so tired of Mexican restaurants around here not putting any flavor in their beef. Service was quick and friendly. Seat yourself. Only problem was when the server turned the AC up, and we were sat directly in front of the blowing air and it got really cold really fast and the air was literally blowing in our faces/hair was getting blown around, and it lasted the whole visit, but next time we will know just to not sit there lol. We will be back !

Myself, my dad and older brother all agree that this is by far the ONLY Mexican restaurant worth going to in all of Abilene, TX. Its the BEST MEXICAN food weve ever had. The tamales were excellent. My dad trucked across country for 30+ years and it is the best he has ever had.

My husband said we should eat here today. He said hes always wanted to try their food. Well Kudos to the staff and cook. I have been to several Mexican Resturaunts in Abilene. This little hidden Jewel impressed me. Out of all the places I have been this has the best homemade salsa in Abilene. I have always looked for the down home Mexican salsa in every Mexican Resturaunt I have visited in Abilene. They hit the nail on the head with theirs. Reminded me of my BFFs Salsa from back home when I was younger and we had cook outs. The Burrito plate was very good and rice was fluffy not dry and beans were spot on. We will be making this a regular spot to eat. Thank You for the great service . I am also picky about my sweet tea and there are now two places in this surrounding area I will order the tea.

Good food and great service with fair prices and huge portions. We got nachos to share and still had some left over! Only complaint is there are some weapons hung on the wall with nails and are most certainly a safety risk. Its great to have history displayed and cool things to informed guests with but there is no excuse for hazardous situations.

The food was fresh, delicious, the portions were large and filling. The flour tortillas were small,thin,kinda tuff,and the tortilla chips were thin,broke easily when you dipped them in the salsa and a bit stale, like they came out of bag and not fried up in the restaurant, and the salsa was not very good,it lacked onion,garlic, cilantro,lemon,lime,beer,at least some spicy serranos or jalapenos,it half way to much tomatoes ... Im thinking that maybe if we wouldve come earlier in the day the tortilla chips, flour tortillas, and the salsa might be fresher and better tasting.

Farolito s is ancient, old-line Abilene Tex-Mex. The physical structure has seen better days - much better days - but I give it 4*s because I appreciate good Tex-Mex at an excellent price.

One of the downfalls of living in Abilene is that there is not a good selection of Mexican food. But after having dinner tonight we just found our favorite place! My husband had beef and cheese enchiladas with rice and beans. He is picky when it comes to Mexican food and he loved his meal. I had the taco salad and it was the best I have ever had. The food was delicious! The wait staff was attentive friendly and fast! The prices were great especially for the quality of food! We will definitely be back!
