" Food is delicious? Check. Service friendly? Check. Atmosphere pleasant? Double check! I can't recommend El Sol Restaurante enough. It’s become our little family tradition to eat here every week. The ladies working there feel like part of the family by now. Every visit has been delightful! " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve been coming to El Sol for several years now, and I must say the authenticity of their dishes has been consistent. The tamales are a family recipe and they never disappoint! However, I do think the portion sizes have become smaller over the years while the prices have increased, which is a bit disappointing. I still support this restaurant for its good food; I just hope they will reconsider their portion sizes in the future. " (*Curated Review*)

" El Sol Restaurante has quickly become one of my favorite spots for authentic Mexican food. I am amazed by their dedication to using fresh ingredients. My friend and I tried the chilaquiles, and they were perfectly crispy with just the right amount of sauce. The only downside was that we found the staff to be a bit curt, which took away a little of the enjoyment during our meal. Still, I appreciate they were busy with orders! " (*Curated Review*)

" I decided to try El Sol for dinner based on all the great reviews, but my experience was mixed. The food had great taste, but I found the service a little lacking; it felt like they were understaffed that night. The ambiance is nice and inviting though, and I appreciate how homey it feels. Hopefully my next visit will be smoother! " (*Curated Review*)

" My recent experience at El Sol wasn't great. Although the food had good flavors, I found the service lacking as our server forgot our drinks. When we finally received our meals, the portions seemed underwhelming for the price we paid, which left me feeling dissatisfied. I might give it another shot but I’m hesitant. " (*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*)
