" El Sol is always a delicious choice. The staff are welcoming, and the tortillas are incredibly fresh. The tacos de carne guisada never disappoint! My only qualm is that the place can get pretty crowded, which can affect the service during peak hours. Overall, an excellent option for good Mexican food. " (*Curated Review*)

" Having heard about El Sol's famous carne guisada, I stopped by for dinner and was blown away! The flavor was rich, and the tortillas were fresh and made right before my eyes. The service was fast, and the staff was welcoming. I can't wait to return and try their breakfast next! " (*Curated Review*)

" My first visit to El Sol was quite satisfying! The food had an authentic taste, especially the enchilada sauce. Portions were hearty, and I barely finished my plate. The waitstaff was friendly but a little slow with the refills. Still, the atmosphere was inviting, making it a good spot to unwind with friends over dinner. Overall, a solid experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" I've been a fan of El Sol for years! The homemade tortillas set this place apart from others. Their carne guisada is comfort food at its finest. I love that they are consistent and the environment is friendly. Even when it gets busy, they take care of their customers well. Highly recommend for anyone craving good Mexican food! " (*Curated Review*)

" I tried El Sol for the first time last weekend and was blown away by the homemade tortillas! The carne guisada was the highlight of the meal - it had that authentic taste that reminded me of my grandmother's cooking. The services were great too. I highly recommend the enchiladas for anyone looking for a satisfying meal. Don't forget to try their fresh salsa; it complements the food perfectly! " (*Curated Review*)

" The food was alright but lacked the desired spiciness. I wasn't thrilled with the refried beans, which seemed overly bland. However, I can't deny that the service was very attentive during our visit. The ambiance is quite cozy, and I liked the décor. They have potential; maybe it was just an off day for the kitchen. Looking forward to giving them another shot. " (*Curated Review*)

" El Sol always hits the spot for me! I love their breakfast tacos; they are served all day long, which is a huge plus. The vibe is always welcoming and relaxed. The only downside was the side of beans I ordered; it was a little bland compared to everything else. Despite that, I’ll still keep coming back for their tacos! " (*Curated Review*)
