" Don Sol never disappoints! The tacos are fantastic! The meat is perfectly seasoned and paired with delicious house-made salsas. The atmosphere is lively, making it a great place to enjoy a meal with friends or family. I always leave feeling satisfied, which makes me keep returning. Highly recommend the guacamole as well! " (*Curated Review*)

" Great food, but my experience was slightly marred by the noise level. The authentic taste of the enchiladas and the chips with salsa were a highlight, but I struggled to hear my friends at the table. Service was prompt and courteous. If you are looking for hearty portions and delicious flavors, Don Sol would be a great choice! " (*Curated Review*)

" Don Sol is an excellent choice if you're craving authentic Mexican food. My husband and I enjoyed a quiet dinner there last Friday evening, ordering the Steak Burrito and a couple of margaritas. The flavors were rich and genuinely made, reminding us of our last trip to Mexico. The server was attentive but not overbearing, which I appreciated. We ended our meal with some churros, and they were a sweet finish! We will be returning here often as it feels like a little piece of Mexico in our town. " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing rave reviews about Don Sol, I had to check it out. I ordered the burrito, which was large and satisfying, but I was hoping for more layers of flavor. The service was above average but not stellar; our server was friendly but a bit slack at times. The environment held a bright, cheerful atmosphere, making it perfect for a casual meal out. I'm interested in trying more items before forming a solid opinion! " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently took my family to Don Sol, and we had a great experience! The server was attentive and friendly, which really added to our enjoyment of the meal. My husband raved about the tamales, while I opted for the classic burrito. The portion sizes were generous. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone craving good Mexican food. " (*Curated Review*)

" Every time I bring a friend to Don Sol, I have them try the enchiladas. I’m a big fan of their authentic taste and generous portions! We always have a wonderful time; it’s consistently a great experience! The wait staff are incredibly kind. It’s definitely one of my favorite restaurants in the area! " (*Curated Review*)

" This was my first time at Don Sol, and I was quite impressed! The place was clean and vibrant. I ordered their signature taco platter; the taco fillings were generous, and I loved the corn tortillas! The only downside was that I was expecting a more robust flavor profile, but they were still enjoyable. I also enjoyed the attentive service. I look forward to trying more dishes next time!
