We eat at Favela’s almost weekly and we’ve never had a bad experience. Guacamole is always fresh and the food is always hot and well-seasoned. The staff is extremely friendly and very attentive. This is one of our absolute favorite Mexican food joints in town!

I’ve been coming here for the flautas for literally 20 years. The other food is awesome too but often I just want the light snack. Guacamole has a little kick and is always consistent. No wonder they keep expanding.

Vegetarian burrito… Shrimp burrito… churros. Sangrias. We typically call 10 minutes ahead and it’s...Read More
