" El Sol has quickly become our go-to place for authentic pupusas. The staff is incredibly friendly, making you feel like part of the family. The flavors are robust and genuinely represent Salvadoran cuisine. I ordered both the cheese pupusas and the ones with chicharrón, and they were delicious alongside their fresh salsa. Such a delightful dining experience; I can't recommend it highly enough! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited El Sol after hearing about it all over social media, and I was not disappointed! The flavors brought me back to my childhood. I loved the chilaquiles - they were perfectly crispy and flavorful, and paired excellently with the spicy salsa. The service was exceptional, the staff made me feel welcomed from the moment I walked in. Highly recommend this spot for anyone craving authentic Salvadoran and Mexican fare. I'll be back soon for breakfast! " (*Curated Review*)

" I've visited El Sol a few times now, and I'm consistently pleased with the food and service. The pupusas are always made fresh and are deeply flavorful. The atmosphere is relaxed which is nice when dining with friends and family. My only critique is that I wish they would better spice their enchiladas; they tend to be a bit mild for my palate. Nonetheless, it's always a pleasure to eat here, and I'll be coming back! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes for El Sol, and I was somewhat satisfied. The food was good, particularly the tamales which were moist and delicious. The service, however, was a bit off; we waited longer than expected for our food, and we were not offered any refills. The ambiance is pleasant, making it a good place to catch up with friends. I could see myself giving it another chance. " (*Curated Review*)

" I can't stop raving about El Sol Restaurant! Every dish I've tried has been packed with flavors reminiscent of home. I particularly loved the chicken tamales and their delicious yuca frita. The ambiance feels like you're dining at a friend's home rather than a typical restaurant. The staff catches your attention not just for their quality service but also their passion for the food. If you're in the Katy area, this place deserves your attention! " (*Curated Review*)

" El Sol Restaurant is a hidden gem; there’s no other way to describe it! I was searching for authentic pupusas and came across this place, and it exceeded my expectations! The homemade tortillas are second to none, and they also serve some fantastic drinks that complement the meals perfectly. It's great to find a place with a family-friendly vibe—my kids loved the food! Can't wait to try more menu items! " (*Curated Review*)

" An incredible find! I was looking for a casual place with great pupusas, and El Sol delivered! Their friendly service and bright atmosphere made for a lovely meal. I tried their chicken tamales, and they were succulent! The only downside was that they forgot my drink order initially, but the hospitality remained high despite that. Definitely a spot I’ll be visiting frequently with my family. " (*Curated Review*)
