El Sol Restaurante & Tequileria is a highly recommended Mexican spot in DC, known for its delicious food and cozy atmosphere. The menu offers a variety of options, such as tacos, flautas, and guacamole, all of which have been praised by visitors. The restaurant can get busy, but the staff is patient and helpful, even assisting with translations to ensure orders are perfect. Take-out is also available, although it may take some time during peak hours. The provided salsa is abundant, but utensils and napkins might need to be requested. The Hibiscus Lemonade is a refreshing choice to accompany the meal. While the chorizo taco received mixed reviews, other dishes like the carnita and beef tacos, as well as the huarache de steak, were enjoyed. The tres leches cake is a popular dessert, although it might not be overly sweet for some preferences. The menu is large, with choices like enchiladas and many other Mexican favorites. Visitors especially enjoy the chips and salsa, with a different-tasting salsa that stands out. The cheese enchiladas are highly recommended. Service can be slow, especially for solo diners, but the food is fantastic, and the original margarita is a hit. One reviewer noted the chorizo and shrimp quesadilla as the best they’ve ever had, prompting a return visit. Although some comments mentioned issues with service from a specific staff member, many praised the overall experience. Overall, El Sol Restaurante & Tequileria is a great spot for Mexican food lovers looking for a cozy and enjoyable dining experience.
