“My family and I have been going to El Sol since 1984. The food is excellent, reasonable, large selection, quantity and the staff are so friendly, it’s like one big family. Their enchilada sauce is my favorite!“

“Best carnitas tacos anywere!“

“Excelente servicio y por supuesto la comida es verdaderamente deliciosa viajamos por una hr de San Francisco a Vallejo pero valió la pena el marisco es muy fresco y riquísimo todooooo!! los platillos mexicanos como el Molcajete es muy rico. Al principio ellos ponen chips crujientes frescos y salsa en tu mesa y tienen una barra de diferentes salsas las cuales puedes disfrutar con tus chips, el ambiente te hace sentir como en casa ellos son muy amables y al final te llevan unos ricos churros con crema de cortesía. Volveríamos una y muchas veces más a este lugar.“

“Excellent food and service“

“We usually order for pick up and today I finally had the privilege of dining in. I’ve tried the shrimp pasta, chilaqiles, birria, menudo, camarones a la diabla and I must say that everything I’ve have been very delicious. The lady at the counter was so nice and welcoming. I highly recommend this place.“

“GREAT FOOD, WONDERFUL SERVICE. EMPLOYEES ARE FRIENDLY. YOU ASK FOR SOMETHING EXTRA LIKE CHIPS, SALSA, LIME, THEY PROVIDE THEM WITHOUT HESITATION.“

“So happy to find a delicious and friendly restaurant that doesn’t close in the afternoon in my neighborhood. We have been there several times in the past couple months and I’m still trying new things on the menu. My husband tried the ribs which he said were the best he’s ever had and half the serving went home with him. It was huge! Desserts are exceptional especially the flan. I’m still exploring their vegetarian options but so far my favorite is their version of chili relleno. Come and relax and enjoy the food and friendly atmosphere!“

“I have been coming for years to this restaurant , it has its own parking lot however you can usually find parking on the street. The food reminds me of when I visit family, everything tastes homemade. I usually order their burritos, their mole.“

“Moved to Pinole from San Diego 1.5 years ago and we’ve been so disappointed with tacos and Mexican food we’re used to from San Diego and living so close to Mexico. Finally!!!! This place cares about the quality, the cut of meat and how the food is cooked. The owners applies high end standards to food and service. Fantastic birria, tortillas, distinctly tasty salsas, clean tacos, everything was so good!!! We can’t wait to come back and try everything. Fast and kind service, family run business. You must try this place!!! Thank you!!!“

“The food was delicious… Absolutely melted in my mouth. I had a chicken burrito everything was cooked to perfection… Our waiter Avery was out of this world...in addition to the food...he just makes the place👍🏻“

“There is a second part to this review, which is 1 ⭐️ . I will get to that in a moment .

Let me start off by saying I am a burrito guy. I realize this place opened in my neighborhood and decided to give it a try after reading the reviews. They’ve got a couple of reviews talking about how the food wasn’t that good etc. I live off of burritos and that is far from the truth.
The burrito itself was very tasteful. The seasoning was perfect. The rice is good. The shell was cooked exactly how most people would like it.
Let me get to the one star part of My review now.
First at the counter, the guy worked in the counter, gave him my order. It was hard for them to understand kept repeating, and I gave them specific directions slowly on how I wanted my burrito made. When you tell somebody no beans and then two minutes later they come back and say you don’t want no beans no I don’t. When you tell somebody I want cheese and then they come back while they’re sitting there typing something in and say do you want cheese. With that said that’s minimal here’s the bad part. My wife cannot eat dairy I told the first person three enchiladas and no dairy, no cheese and no sour cream. I said all three of those things however I should’ve only been able just to say no dairy and they should understand that, but I specifically said no cheese and sour cream.. Specifically said my wife cannot have dairy. After talking to the lady in the back going back And fourth. The lady comes out and continues my order. She’s really a hard worker and tries too hard but I think it’s a slight language barrier. She repeated to me no sour cream and no cheese and I said correct as I’m leaving getting my order she opens it to show me, how the enchiladas were and I said oh is that sour cream she said yes I said no sour cream. My wife cannot eat dairy no cheese and she goes oh no cheese?. So she takes the tray back rather than make a new one she scraped the sour cream out of the tray and was not aware of that at the time when I got home, I had to wipe it out with paper towels. I think they personally should’ve grabbed another tray possibly remade the order if it was the neighborhood of dairy. That’s just my opinion, but the food was great. Have a good day.
I went well before lunch place was not busy only one other customer there so no reason to get mixed up here. So I don’t want to dock them for the food and trying just making people aware who can’t have dairy. Be careful.“

“I recently had the pleasure of dining at Dos Botellas in American Canyon, and it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. The ambiance is warm and inviting making it a perfect spot for both casual meals and special occasions.Service was amazing!“

“Nominated for one of Martinez best Mexican restaurants!!🥳🍽️“

“great food and service!!!“

“Excellent Chile Rellanos and margaritas Vibe is right! Staff is great! Definitely a place to be !“

“Amoooo sus tacos boy casi cada sabado!!! Muy buenos sobretodo los de tripa k en muchos lugares no tienen% recomendados!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!“

“Delicious huge burritos at a great price. Came here after seeing the good reviews, and other reviewers weren't lying, these are great burritos. The veggie burrito is large and tastes great. The cheese was melted perfectly in it, the Spanish rice was properly cooked and seasoned, and the salsa in it was perfect. I usually don't get chicken burritos, but I tried it as someone else in my party ordered it; the chicken is more like tinga de pollo (shredded seasoned chicken) which I've never had before, but it was amazing. 10/10 I'd come back here when I'm in the area. The service was also quick and very nice. We asked for extra salsa, and more napkins and a to-go bag, and they obliged.“

“5 Stars – Flavor Explosion at El Sabor de Guadalajara!

This place is next-level delicious! I ordered the steak, chicken, and shrimp fajita mix and it came out sizzling hot and loaded with flavor. The meat was tender and juicy, the peppers and onions were perfectly grilled, and the aroma alone had me hyped! Paired with fluffy rice, creamy refried beans, and warm tortillas on the side—it was the ultimate comfort meal. Quick service, generous portions, and authentic flavor in every bite. El Sabor de Guadalajara is hands-down a must-try in Richmond!“

“Try out the Jalisco special burrito is really good!! Service was good and friendly“

“I love the quesabirria (comes with consume), especially on cold days, the pupusa rebueltas (comes with curtido and a tomato sauce that's hot on cold days and cool on hot ones). The carne asada street tacos are great too (not a lot of gristle), and I sometimes have carne asada nachos to change it up a little. I come here for lunch several times a month and they recognize me (and my order). And they're affordable!“

“One of the best mexican food places in Berkeley. Their salsa is always good, and they're very friendly and the service is fast.
Their cocktails are also excellent and not expensive. I can't recommend this place enough.
If you don't know what to get go for something with the mole (mo-leh) poblano, if you like sweets, guajillo (gwa-hee-yo) If you like a little spicy kick.“

“Looking for something special for my son after some medical stuff, saw the reviews and decided to take a chance! Great little hole in the wall place, amazing food (definitely filled us up!) Chicken burrito, wet ground beef burrito and sope y enchilada. Chips and salsa with a Pina colada to top it all off. Price was WAY less than I expected ??“

“Quite possibly one of the best taquerias in Richmond, and that is saying something as there are lots of taquerias in Richmond.

The carne asada and al pastor are tasty. They also have fish or shrimp as an option too, which are just as delicious. Veggie options are available too, including butternut squash.

But my favorite cut of meat is actually the campechanos, which is a mix of beef, chorizo and pork. It’s cool to see a unique type of meat that not everyone offers.“

“5 stars! Friendly staff, clean and comfortable, extensive menu, great prices, great value! my super burrito must have had a pound of carnitas, and hubby's mixed fajitas was plentiful as well. Fresh chips and salsa varieties available at the front, along with fresh water, self serve. we asked for containers and got free, fresh chips as well. Let's all support this family business!“

“These are some FLAVORFUL tacos and burritos. The meat is clearly cooked with love and slowly because it's not dry and well seasoned. The steak tacos and shredded chicken burritos ? ?. We flew back to Texas with them. Yup, just that good.“

“Great smelling restaurant, bringing back child hood memories.“

“I ordered from DoorDash. Really good. Forgot my birria doble, but I will go back. Thanks 🙏🏿“

“I loved the hospitality that I received from Chef Henrik's and the food that was delicious, every bite was an explosion of flavor, everything was very good.

“Pupusas and shrimp burrito were the bomb. Not to mention, the super burrito was freakishly huge Was my first time trying them out and I really like that they paid attention to the notes in my order. Will definitely be ordering from here again.“

“All that and more ! Great service… Thanks Noni !“

“QuesoBirria tacos!! 😋 yummy!!“

“I don’t think they are still cash only because I think they accept Apple Pay/card now. This was also one of my go to spots for burritos while I’m on the go and I know people also like their tacos, ceviche, and tostadas. Prices have gone up in general over the years but I was shocked to see a $20 super burrito back when it was less than $10 in the past. I love Carne Asada and I got the carne asada regular burrito and it never disappoints, can last me up to 2 meals. I also got the pickled vegetables, red and green sauce as well as chips. I didn’t have to wait too long, they’re located at the parking lot across smart and final at the old furniture store parking lot and there’s a table outside off of Sonoma Boulevard. Service is quick and great! And glad to see them still in business over the years!

Vegetarian options: Options to not get meat so many options

Kid-friendliness: Can bring kids to order

Wheelchair accessibility: Shouldn’t be too hard“

“I've been trying all the taco trucks in the area but keep returning to Emiliano's. Probably been there 50 times. Really good shrimp tacos. The shrimp is larger and more flavorful than typical. Also really like the al pastor. Carne asada and chicken is good too. My new favorite thing is the wet burrito.
By the way, I've never found them not open when they were supposed to be.“

“Best case of mistaken identity ever!

I walked in mistaking it for Vallejo Brewing Company right after they closed for the night, but the menu was so enticing I had to come back during business hours!

The red beans and rice with Cajun shrimp is an INSTANT comfort food go-to, and not to start drama, but a certain barbecue place on the block could learn a thing or two about making amazing cornbread from this chef! The perfect, fresh baked, sweet and buttery portion of cornbread I've had since my mom's recipe.

The $7 cocktail special was also amazing, not too powerful but not so watered down you couldn't feel it!

The gal working the counter was sweet as can be both times I've been in as well.

I can't wait to bring everyone I know here!“

“Yum!
A real cross-section of Richmond and beyond returns here for quality menu hits and the standards you expect from a food truck.
The tacos de asada are a can't-go-wrong classic and I appreciate the mix of carrots, radishes, onions and peppers that complement each dish. Fully eat the quesadillas while they are warm; don't save to reheat this selection, as it's cheese is much better freshly cooked. The quesabirrias hit the spot for me, too! I like the horchata the best of the aguafrescas that are all refreshing and not overly sweet. I like the doradito light-browning of some of the food selections, and the salsas are very tasty - I like the green sauce the best.
The staff members are keen to make the food as you like it and aim to get your meals to you with efficiency and a smile. They care!
Many people return here from what I've witnessed. The corner can be a bit windy on the straightaway from Civic Center to the West, but on a sunny day it can be great to borrow part of the bench and table to eat by the tropically-colored and decorated food truck. Some people choose to carefully dine in their cars for warmth, too, somewhat like a drive-up diner.
My friends and family and I will see you at La Alma de Sol!“

“Las gordita de chicharrón con queso están súper deliciosas !!“

“muy ricos tacos y económicos 😅 excelente corazón de tacos!!“

“Have been here a couple times, and it’s always utterly delicious. Plus, the folks who work their are so kind and friendly. I asked for veggie tacos one time, and not only were they flavorful and overflowing, but they even checked to see if I wanted their fresh handmade tortillas — anyone can do a great meat taco, but veggie tacos are harder to pull off without actual spices and attention to detail. Salsas are fantastic. I am in love with this place.“

“Always amazing! This place....I’ve been to about a dozen times, but this was the first time since this Covid-19 business. I walked up to the front door which faces the street, and ordered at the new ordering window, my mask donned. La Bamba remains delicious, Covid be damned. The Pupusas Revuelta was tender, juicy, handmade....perfect. Never gets old. The pickled cabbage, pickled to perfection. The salsa....a nice kick but not overbearing, not gonna overpower the pupusa, and provides a nice little bit of heat. I doubt I’ll ever get tired of this place.“

“This Place has by far the BEST TORTAS you can get these day's at a restaurant! It's Always"s clean...The lady at the register is very nice! They Greet you when u come in! They don't try and charge $2 for sour cream and all those hidden fee's! One day they will find a better location! Food is Fresh! Perfect!!!!“

“absolutely the best tamales I have ever had at a restaurant. I'd swear they were home made if I hadn't ordered them myself... super find!!! I'll never order from anywhere else again.“

“Excellent Chile Rellanos and margaritas Vibe is right! Staff is great! Definitely a place to be !“

“This taqueria and its companion restaurant next door, Mely's, add up to wonderful cuisine and an affordable go-to experience, whether it's breakfast, brunch, lunch, dinner or just a between meal snack. It's a family place, and the whole family makes it happen. The owner, Daniel, is a trained and accomplished chef, but there's not a snooty note in the place - just excellent food and a warm welcome. Prices are as reasonable as he can keep them without skimping on the quality of the dishes. We visit very regularly!“

“Amazing place to grab a bite. Staff is super friendly, they are attentive, respectful and very polite.

Definitely a place worth checking out, me and my family have found another good place to come and hang out while enjoying some good Mexican food“

“The food is in good season, well prepared and the portions are large. I really recommend the roasted chicken catering menu, it is delicious and delivered warm. The beans are excellent. The "fried mojarra" dish is not mojarra. It is tilapia and almost no bones compared to a mojarra.“

“Great service and food !“
