El Faro Restaurant was a small Spanish food emporium located at 823 Greenwich Street in the West Village of Manhattan, New York City. El Faro opened in 1927 and shuttered in 2012 after failing to raise over $80,000 to pay off fines and expenses.[1]

The restaurant was located near 14th Street, an area close to Eighth Avenue that became known as "Little Spain".[2]
