El Sol features what I think of as authentic Mexican cuisine, which has less cheese and less taco sauce than the Tex Mex variety to which many US citizens are accustomed. Thus my plate of chicken enchiladas with a side of rice and beans was slightly less flavorful than I am used to. The wait staff consisted of a friendly but solitary gentleman when I visited on a Saturday afternoon. My booth was clean and comfortable, and prices reasonable. There are some exotic menu items I didn't get a chance to explore in my first visit. .I plan to try conveniently located El Sol again. It is right on Highway 27, and I was able to park in the free parking lot about a block west on 3rd Avenue.
Nice cozy place. Good Mexican food at reasonable prices. Good and friendly service.
I got the steak chimichanga and flan. Everything, as always, tasted amazing! I love their food, and they serve really good chips and two salsas before your food arrives (one is green, the other is a darkish red; not sure what they're called lol, but they're amazing with the chips and later with tacos or whatever you order). Pricing is decent, as well.
Food was good. Chips are bit too salty. Empanada dough was a bit too dry. Tostadas we're great!
Quiet night, so service was great.
Great authentic food and the service has always been friendly every time I've been there. Usually good parking right out front too.
