" It's a cozy spot that serves incredible food! The molcajetes are highly recommended. They are bursting with flavor and come with a generous amount of toppings. It's quaint, but not the best in terms of decor. The service was prompt, and we left stuffed and satisfied. " (*Curated Review*)

" My recent visit to this taqueria was a bit of a mixed bag. While the food was decent and I appreciated the generous portions, the service left me wanting more. I had to wait a while for my drink refills, which dampened the overall experience. Still, the flavors were commendable, and I might give it another try on a busier day. " (*Curated Review*)

" After multiple visits, I can confidently say Taqueria El Sol de Mexico #5 holds its place as one of the best Mexican restaurants in town! The service can vary depending on how busy they are, but the food always makes up for it. Each dish serves generous portions full of flavor, and the staff do their best to accommodate. Quite the find for true food lovers. " (*Curated Review*)

" I have been a regular at this taqueria for years. Every time I go, the flavors bring back nostalgic memories of my family’s recipes. The carne asada tacos are a must-try! They have recently added new items to the menu, and while I was initially skeptical, I am now a fan of the new mole sauce too. The service can vary, especially during peak hours, but the food is always consistent. " (*Curated Review*)

" The restaurant has a casual vibe that I enjoyed. I ordered the combo plate, and it was more than enough food for the price. I really appreciated the freshness of everything, especially the guacamole which was superb. Just a quick note: the staff seemed a bit overwhelmed during our visit. Other than that, I would definitely recommend this place. " (*Curated Review*)

" Despite being a local, I have never tried Taqueria El Sol de Mexico #5 until recently. The flavors were solidly authentic, echoing memories of my travels to Mexico. However, the wait for our food was longer than anticipated, which was disappointing. If they can improve on timing in service, this place could easily rank among the best in the area! " (*Curated Review*)

" Finally tried Taqueria El Sol de Mexico #5 after hearing my friends rave about it! The breakfast options look delicious, but I opted for lunch. The mixed plate was fantastic; everything tasted freshly made. My only wish is that they have better seating arrangements as it gets crowded. Otherwise, I loved my meal! " (*Curated Review*)
