I just called to order some tacos at the Streamwood El Faros Tacos and a lady answered the phone to take my order her name was Laura I just called to find out.She was so rude that I cant believe I went through with the order after all. I only did because the tacos are so good SO FAR! She took my order she couldnt understand so much and she acted like it was my fault !!! Is it my fault they hired someone and put them in the public who cannot understand both langusges? She didnt finish my order and she hung up the phone on me ,I had to call back and ask her if she hung up on me? She said no she did not know what happened?Then I had to ask her how long til my tacos were ready and I asked her for a total and she said they were busy and hung up again. I feel real discriminated against because I am not Mexican and I feel like she only wants Mexican business there. But then again it would be ok if my kids went there right because they are 1/2 and 1/2. What a horrible way a restaurant can make you feel from a...

Read moreMy son visited EL Faro with a friend and told me about it. While home on Spring Break he invited me to try it with him. Having just relocated to Bartlett I wanted to visit and find an "Authentic Mexican" restaurant. I have eaten authentic Mexican Fish Tacos in Old Town San Diego, Carnitas plates in Mesa AZ,Huevos Rancheros in Salt Lake City UT, Sorano's in Santa Ana CA, Los Sanchez in Anaheim CA and the list goes on. To say this restaurant has no flavor and is typical Tex Mex shows a lack of knowledge and understanding. This person probably thinks Barbecue is all about the Sauce and not the Smoke!!!! EL Faro ranks among the top and now is in my backyard. Thank you for authentic Horchata, Real Queso Fundido, Great recipes and a traditional Mexican flavor through and through. This California born Gringo no longer need search for a small piece of Traditional Old World flavor. Well...
