Where Locals Eat: El Farolito in Placentia

If you’re craving authentic, no-shortcuts Mexican breakfast, head to El Farolito—a beloved, family-run spot in Placentia where everything is made with heart and heritage.

Since 1974, El Farolito has been serving dishes that go beyond the basics. We’re talking slow-simmered chilaquiles with just the right heat, handmade tortillas that actually taste handmade, and menudo that locals swear by every weekend. Their breakfast burritos are a must—packed, flavorful, and seriously satisfying.

Start your morning with a café de olla and a plate of huevos rancheros, or split a platter of fluffy huevos con chorizo and papas with your crew. Everything is fresh, homemade, and full of flavor—just like you’d hope for in a place with 49 years of family tradition behind every dish.

📍 Placentia: 201 S. Bradford Ave
📍 Fullerton: 411 S. Harbor Blvd
🕐 Hours: 7am–8pm (Sun–Thurs), 7am–9pm (Fri–Sat)
📞 Call Ahead: 714-993-7880

No catering. No food trucks. Just seriously good, homemade food.

Eat like a local. You’ll be glad you did.

🌞 Hello Sunshine Tip:
Go early for breakfast on the weekend—locals line up for the menudo and fresh tortillas. If you’re not sure what to order, just ask your server for their favorites—they’ll steer you right every time.
