· Mexican torta restaurant, Coffee shop
· San Ángel
Classic 70s-style Mexican cafe for hearty tortas, eggs, and coffee; great value, quick bite vibe, but recent complaints about hours, occasional quality dips, and price creep.
Our take
El Faro delivers strong torta quality and friendly service that keep regulars returning, but inconsistent execution and a cramped, utilitarian setting prevent a higher grade. Recent reports of declining flavor and portion sizes suggest the restaurant is losing ground, offsetting what was once reliable neighborhood appeal.
One caveat: Hours accuracy issues: several recent reviews found it closed despite 24-hour listings
