" I visited Taco El Sol after hearing rave reviews and I was excited to try it out. The tacos were decent but not extraordinary compared to other Mexican restaurants I've been to. The service was friendly, though a bit slow. I might give it another shot if I'm in the area, but I wasn’t overly impressed. " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently discovered Taco El Sol and it has changed my late-night food game forever! Their burritos are ENORMOUS and packed with flavors. I love that they offer a variety of salsas to customize your meal. The carnitas are melt-in-your-mouth good! What surprised me most was the warm interaction with Javier — he really cares about his customers. If you're in Portland, make this place a priority! " (*Curated Review*)

" Taco El Sol is my favorite spot for quick bites! Their tacos and burritos are not only huge but also incredibly flavorful. I particularly enjoy their habanero salsa which adds the perfect kick. Service is usually fast, making it a great choice for late-night hunger. I've already recommended it to all my friends! " (*Curated Review*)

" I finally had the chance to visit Taco El Sol after hearing countless recommendations. I was impressed by how authentic everything tasted! I tried the nachos and they were amazing. A great deal for the price too! The only downside was that it took a little while to get my order, but the friendly environment made up for it. " (*Curated Review*)

" The taco cart at Taco El Sol feels like a hidden gem! I tried their quesadilla and it was packed with melted cheese and tasty meat. The owner is so kind and really knows how to please his customers. I'll definitely come back to try the al pastor tacos next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at Taco El Sol was not great. The food tasted average and lacked the punch I expected. Service was rather indifferent; I felt ignored. Despite the high ratings, this place didn’t live up to the hype for me, and I likely won't return. " (*Curated Review*)

" Taco El Sol is everything I hoped it would be! The authenticity shines through every dish. I ordered tacos de carnitas and they were just heavenly—tender, juicy, and packed with flavor. That habanero salsa is a must-try! I love the late-night hours too; it's the perfect place after a night out. " (*Curated Review*)
