" El Sol has the best salsas I’ve had in town. I can’t even say how unique and delicious they are. However, their service wasn’t on par with the food. I asked for extra salsa and it took a while to arrive. The food is great, but little improvements in service can make it a perfect spot. " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve been to many places to get authentic Mexican food and this was one of my favorite spots thus far! The tacos were very flavorful and seasoned just right. I also appreciate how they use fresh, natural ingredients. However, the staff seemed a bit distracted which delayed our meals. Overall, I plan to return regardless of that small hiccup. " (*Curated Review*)

" Whenever I'm in the mood for Mexican food, El Sol is a must-visit. The ambience is lively yet relaxed, perfect for enjoying a good meal. I had a delightful taco platter that was generous in size and flavor. Although once or twice, the staff appeared a bit preoccupied, they always checked on us regularly. " (*Curated Review*)

" I have to share my experience at El Sol Restaurante—it was simply unforgettable! From the moment we walked in, the warmth and cleanliness of the place were impressive. The ladies working there treated us like family, and the food was just like home. The caldos are hearty, rich, and very comforting. I had the caldo de res and it reminded me so much of family dinners back in Mexico. The only drawback, at least during my visit, was the pace of the service which was a little slow, but the authenticity and flavor of the food made up for it. I'd definitely recommend this spot to anyone! Just know that it might take a moment to get your order, but it is absolutely worth the wait. " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently visited El Sol Restaurante and was blown away by the taste of the enchiladas. The salsa verde reminded me of my grandmother's cooking, simply delicious! Although the service staff seemed a bit overwhelmed, they were friendly and attentive once we were seated. Overall, a must-try for anyone craving authentic Mexican flavors. " (*Curated Review*)

" This place was a delightful surprise! I stumbled in for lunch and decided to try the birria tacos after hearing great reviews. To my delight, they did not disappoint! The meat was tender and infused with rich flavors. On the downside, the service was a bit slow as they seemed understaffed that day. Still, I’ll be returning for those tacos and the friendly ambiance. " (*Curated Review*)

" During our lunch there we ordered a variety of dishes to share, including the chips and salsa, tacos, and their famous birria. Everything was fresh and delicious! The staff maybe could use a bit more training in customer service because they seemed scattered at times, but overall, we can't wait to return. " (*Curated Review*)
