" I can't say enough good things about Templo Del Sol! Their chile relleno was incredible, stuffed generously and cooked to perfection. The family who runs the restaurant is genuinely kind, and they remember their customers. Highly recommend to anyone! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes but left feeling disappointed. My burrito was dry and lacked flavor. Although the service was kind, I wanted more from the food. I may give it another chance in the future, but for now, I was underwhelmed. " (*Curated Review*)

" Templo Del Sol is incredibly cozy and perfect for a family night out. The portions are generous, and the food reminds me of my grandmother's cooking. We enjoyed every dish, especially the salsa! The service is top-notch. We'll be back for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" While the atmosphere was cozy, I was let down by the execution of the dishes. My fish plate was just average, and service could improve. I was hoping for a more authentic experience given the history, but it fell short. " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently visited Joe Aguilar's Templo del Sol and was blown away by the flavors! The tacos were on point, with a perfect balance of spices. The service was friendly, and my family felt right at home. We can't wait to return! " (*Curated Review*)
