Always do drive thru, foods not bad, average Mexican food. If you’re looking for a quick bite, and a better drive thru compared to the fast food offered in Grass Valley it is where I would suggest to go. Price is average as well. My largest complaint is an employee there who I have encountered on most my occasions, who relatively lacks customer service skills. Often times she seems snarky, and rather than assisting or being pleasant to customers is drinking Starbucks or something and just talking. I enjoy the food, but this employee often dampers the atmosphere which makes my visit less enjoyable. Coming from someone who has worked in restaurant atmosphere in and off for quite awhile, it is not that hard to have a positive attitude even when you are having a bad day. Other than this employee, El Favorito is a good place to eat.
Absolutely loved my experience at El Favorito Taqueria! I got the super burrito with carnitas and it was packed with flavor, tender, juicy, and perfectly seasoned. I enjoyed it out on their patio and it was great. They offer complimentary chips and salsa with several different house-made salsa options.
Great food, great service, and a really welcoming atmosphere. I’ll definitely be back!
I got the California burrito and it was very good, only had 2 complaints, 1. I started eating the burrito and it had no lettuce like it was supposed to, no sour cream like it was supposed to, and there wasn’t a whole lot of chicken, it was mostly beans and rice. Second complaint could’ve easily just been a little mess up but nonetheless, they gave me my bag and when I opened it they didn’t close the salsa lid very good so there was salsa all over the bag and everything in it which sucked. But aside from that the food is good
If I could give 0 stars I would. I hardly ever review and I’ve only ever given one bad review on google ever. Paid for a jumbo burrito. Has rice, beans, cheese meat, sour cream and guacamole. Got home 5 mins away and burrito was cold. Didn’t want to get in the car and go back and wait again for another one so we microwaved it. Started eating it and got more than half way through and realized there was no cheese, no guacamole, no sour cream and about a tablespoon of rice in the whole thing. So basically we paid for the “jumbo” burrito and got beans, meat, tomatoes and lettuce. There’s no way for anyone to know that it doesn’t have all that stuff in it until they are eating it. What are you supposed to do, open it up and check? I called the restaurant and told them we live 5 mins away and it was cold, and had nothing in it. They didn’t believe me and said I would have had to bring it back there for them to check that it really didn’t have cheese and sour cream and guacamole. How would I know that unless I cut into the burrito and am eating it? Rude rude rude. No accountability for their mistake at all. It costs them about $3 to make that burrito. They could have given us credit for another one another time or offered us an Appetizer next time. But no. They said since we ate some of it (which we had to do to realize there was nothing in it) that they would do nothing for us. Never will go back here. Too bad. I thought we had finally found some good Mexican food in Nevada County.
