What Tim Stephan likes about El Foco Restaurant Bar:
Just finishing my meal as I type...what a great place! I just finished some of best tacos I have ever had...El Foco special tacos...beef, chorizo, and cheese. There was enough for 5...throw in some free chips and various salsas and you have a very filling meal. I made the mistake of adding a side of refried beans as well...just too much food. I will definitely be back!!! Muchas gracias !!! View all feedback.

Best Mexican food on the island. Not the fanciest, but who cares when they serve up the best food with friendly service! Been coming here for years and years!
