" El Sol is the new favorite in our family! It's clean, welcoming, and the food is bursting with authentic flavors. The pupusas were delightful and left us craving more. Even the kids enjoyed their meals, which is a hearty endorsement! The only downside was of my slow drink service, but the fantastic food more than made up for it. Definitely planning a return visit soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" So, I got to try El Sol based on all the positive reviews, and I'm here to confirm—they deserve every star! The pupusas were savory, and the atmosphere felt like home. I was a little disappointed in the portion sizes for some dishes, especially with how filling the pupusas are. The service was excellent, my server was conversational and attentive. This will definitely become a regular spot for me. " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at El Sol was fantastic! As soon as I entered, I admired how clean and inviting it was. The staff was friendly and quick to serve us. I had the carne asada, which was beautifully cooked but a little pricey for the portion size. The pupusas were delightful, bursting with flavor, but I personally wished they offered a spicy option. Nevertheless, I regret nothing and can't wait to return and explore their breakfast menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" My visit to El Sol was delightful! I was particularly fond of their fresh salsa and handmade tortillas—absolutely fantastic! The atmosphere is welcoming, which made the experience that much better. On the plus side, the service was quick and attentive. Everything we ordered was enjoyable, but I would advise trying their breakfast options as I’ve heard they’re incredible! Can't wait to return and explore more of the menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" My family and I had a large group dinner at El Sol, and overall, it was a great experience. However, I found the portion sizes to be a bit unpredictable - some dishes were plentiful while others left us wanting more. The pupusas were delicious and definitely the star of our meal, followed closely by the fried plantains. The atmosphere was casual, perfect for a family night, but I'd suggest going early since it can get packed. Service was attentive, which made up for the minor portion discrepancies. " (*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*)
