" What an incredible dining experience! This place is a gem for anyone seeking authentic Mexican food in Toronto. From the moment we walked in, the vibrant colors and warm decorations welcomed us. We ordered the enchiladas, and they were bursting with flavor, reminiscent of the ones I had during my trip to Mexico. The service was friendly, although a bit slow due to the lunch rush. Overall, a delightful experience that I can't wait to repeat! " (*Curated Review*)

" My visit to El Sol was not what I had in mind. The service was lackluster, and our food took ages to arrive. That said, when it did finally make it to our table, the tacos were wonderful, with tender meats and fresh toppings. The atmosphere is lovely, I must admit, with beautiful art surrounding us. I don't know if I would rush back, though. Perhaps on a less busy night it would be better. " (*Curated Review*)

" A fantastic find! The tacos are fresh and bursting with authentic flavors. I was blown away by how generous the portions are too! The staff were super gracious and made sure we had everything we needed. If you are looking for real Mexican food, El Sol won’t disappoint. I can't wait to go back for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" El Sol delivers a fantastic Mexican dining experience! The atmosphere is filled with cultural art that truly immerses you in the experience. I thoroughly enjoyed the enchiladas and the margaritas were delightful. The service staff were friendly and attentive. Yes, we waited a while for our food, but it’s because they prepare everything fresh. I appreciated the authenticity of the spices used in the dishes. It's a bit pricey, but absolutely worth it for the quality provided. I would return for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" As a huge lover of Mexican cuisine, I have to say El Sol somewhat disappointed me. The ambiance is fantastic and full of life, but sadly the food didn’t quite hit the mark for me – it was a bit bland and lacked the bold flavors I expect from authentic Mexican food. The staff were friendly and kept us updated on our order, which was appreciated. I may give it another go in the future, as I did enjoy the environment! " (*Curated Review*)

" This place is exactly what I was looking for! The atmosphere transports me to Mexico, with its vibrant colors and decor. I tried the meat platter, and it was simply superb – the variety of flavors was a treat for the taste buds. The service was great and very accommodating, even with my dietary restrictions. Portions were more than enough for sharing. I’ll surely return for another round! " (*Curated Review*)

" My family and I went to El Sol, and I have mixed feelings. The food was decent, but not the best Mexican I've had. The service was polite, but the wait times were long, which made the experience slightly frustrating. The decor was charming, and the ambiance was nice enough for a family dinner, but I think I may try a different place next time. " (*Curated Review*)
