" Okay, I have a confession: I'm definitely a taco addict, and Mercado del Sol is my favorite fix! Their salsa verde is the stuff dreams are made of. I recommend trying the carnitas – they tastes exactly like the ones I had while visiting family in Mexico. The only downside was the noise level during peak times, which could detract from a relaxing meal, but if you're looking for fantastic food, you can't go wrong here. Authentic, tasty, and friendly! Give it a try! " (*Curated Review*)

" The flavors and traditions of Mexico come alive at Mercado del Sol. From the handmade tortillas to the sizzling carne asada, every bite leaves you wanting more! I must mention that the staff is incredibly attentive, ensuring your dining experience is as pleasant as possible. However, during busier times, it can get a bit noisy, and wait times may increase. Nonetheless, the fantastic tasting food makes it all worthwhile. Always looking forward to my next meal here! " (*Curated Review*)

" Wow! I had the chance to visit Mercado del Sol last weekend, and it did not disappoint. I ordered the lamb plate, which was cooked to perfection. The flavor was rich, and the portion size was generous, making it worth every penny. I appreciated how the atmosphere felt genuine and homey, unlike many chain restaurants out there. My only complaint was that the service was a bit slow, likely due to the crowd, but the staff was still friendly and polite. Overall, I will definitely come back again! " (*Curated Review*)

" I cannot say enough about the fantastic service at Mercado del Sol! Even though they were busy, the staff managed to attend to all guests efficiently while also ensuring the food served was incredibly good. I had the al pastor tacos, which were tender, juicy, and seasoned so well. As a side note, the atmosphere was lively but might be overwhelming for those who prefer a quieter dining experience. Overall, worth the visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" Mercado del Sol is a great family-owned restaurant where you can expect consistent quality. I’ve been dining here for years and have always enjoyed their various meats, especially the ribs and chicken, which are excellent! I think a great touch is their house-made sauces. The atmosphere is cozy, but it can get pretty busy. Just make sure to be patient with service during peak hours, as they tend to get crowded quite quickly. Still worth every visit!

" Great first visit to Mercado del Sol! The highlight was the lamb plate which I thought was truly exceptional. They cook it just right, allowing for the flavors to truly shine. The staff was friendly and my order was ready in no time. The atmosphere was lively but a bit noisy – a common sight at busy Mexican eateries. I’ll be coming back to explore more of their menu for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a wonderful evening at Mercado del Sol. The ribs were succulent, and the chicken was full of flavor. A unique element is how they serve their tortillas; seeing them made fresh right in front of you is a treat! Worth noting that the staff was attentive, and the atmosphere was very lively with great energy. I’ll definitely be coming back for more! " (*Curated Review*)
