El Sol Restaurant & Catering - Richmond

We come here on a regular however today was the last time! Food was not seasoned, and service was rude. Started out with rushing my mom to order and after I spent around$50 we were denied extra salsa for my chips.

The food was absolutely delicious. The Margaritas were perfect. There's nothing fancy to this place at all. It is just home and I felt at home. This is a whole different culture than mine and I still felt like I was family.
I recommend the Chili relleno
plate.

I love El Sol! I don't know if they're the same owners but I've been going to them for at least the last 15 years if not more. But I was so sad. Today I ordered my usual carnitas burrito and it was nothing but beans and rice and a couple of bites of carnitas. That was so disappointed. Usually it's absolutely amazing!! And on top of only getting a mouthful of beans and rice it was $16. Are times that bad for the restaurant industry? That just makes me sad. I hope you do well in the future because I can't buy just a bunch of beans and rice and a tortilla with a flavor of meat. I love you guys. I hope you do better in the future. This was a real bummer for me.

Beware don't buy food from them.

I bought meat over potatoes with sour cream and cheese I got food sickness from it ? headache, upset stomach, vomiting, nausea and chills I believe the food wasn't fresh and maybe ? spoiled ingredients who knows.

When you go there, ask for Esmeralda. Excellent Service. Beef taco, chilli relleno, rice & beans. Flautas de pollo, chips & salsa, excellent ?. Can't wait to go again!

Parking: Not sure about parking lot. We parked on the street in the back & walked to the front of the restaurant. Plenty of parking spaces. No problems parking.

Kid-friendliness: Kids welcome ?

Josephine and Veronica catered the chamber event that I attended and the food was absolutely delicious. They had a wide variety of various dishes to choose from and there chips and salsa was fresh and the desserts were magnificent. They were extremely professional and with just the two of them they handled all of the event attendees and their needs with precision . I strongly recommend hiring Josephine and El Sol for your next catering event
