If you have not had the chance to dine in at Girasol, I highly recommend it. The chicharon with guac is a must as a starter, make sure you get some of the spicy sauce. As for a recommendation for a meal, well you have to come in and try. We loved the chilaquiles, the carne en su juego, the menudo, and the breakfast burrito. If you have a sweeter taste, the French toast, the pancakes and the crepe are awesome. But as mentioned before, you just have to come in and try everything.

The food is absolutely delicious! The presentation of the food on the plates are so beautifully set ! This is true Mexican style authentic to its cultural! The service is quick and with smile. Only wish this place was a much larger since there are people from all over coming to try this tasty food! Yesterday was my first time there. I ordered to go! Enchiladas with a fried egg on the side! It was the best I’ve had! I can actually taste the chicken. Other places I’m usually...read full review

Girasol Cocina Mexicana is a restaurant worth visiting, especially for chilaquiles fans. Located in California, it has drawn visitors from Chicago and beyond, who praise the delicious tres leches pancakes and friendly service. The waitstaff, including Antonio, are known for being attentive and helpful. The owner, from Guadalajara, adds a personal touch by surprising guests with complimentary gorditas de chicharron and sharing her warm personality. The menu features a variety of options, from El Trio Chilaquiles to Mole Trio Chilaquiles and Menudo, ensuring there is something for everyone. The carne asada is very tender and flavorful, and the salsa verde for the chilaquiles is good—spicy enough but not too hot. Guests also enjoy the guacamole with pork belly bites, chorizo mollete, and elote pancakes. The Cafe de la olla and regular coffee are both highly recommended. Portions are generous for the prices, and the friendly staff makes every visit memorable.
The restaurant now offers a Tuesday brunch buffet, which is only available from 10am to 2pm. Customers have praised the buffet for its delicious and appetizing food, with multiple items like beef, pork, and chicken to try. The atmosphere is family-friendly and lively, though service can sometimes be slow, especially when waiting for refills or clearing plates. Despite this, guests plan to return to enjoy the buffet again.
On their Tuesday all-you-can-eat lunch, visitors found the small variety of dishes to be excellent. The meats were tender and flavorful, and the sides were very good. There was a 40-minute wait, but staff and customers were friendly and orderly. The owner, Jaime, is especially appreciated for his kindness and graciousness. The staff works hard to tend to all needs, and the restaurant is expanding to a larger location expected around March 2026.
Breakfast portions are large, and while the chilaquiles are flavorful, they are a little spicy. The pancakes are beautifully presented but not as enjoyable, as they crumble quickly. Overall, the breakfast is filling and tasty, though pancakes might be skipped next time. Customers say they will definitely return.
