Absolutely wonderful restaurant. It is absolutely worth a drive if you don’t live close. The depth of flavor is beautiful. Every dish was a hit. Warm and welcoming staff and environment overall. Come support this restaurant!!

Made a reservation here for Valentine’s Day! Came in was greeted warmly and sat down right away! Beautiful decor music was good and not overbearing. My girl loved the place. Drinks were amazing! Really good margaritas. Mole is to die for! And the appetizers are fire

So delicious!!! I came here with family and we left feeling full for the rest of the day! Everything is perfectly crafted and put together well. Also had a coffee flan with blueberries and it’s the best dessert I’ve ever had and I normally don’t even like flan! Never thought the two went together so good but my family and I are excited to come back again soon.

A true gem that hasn’t missed a beat in the nearly twenty years since last visit. Excellent, warm service, great cocktail selection at reasonable prices and outstanding dishes, beautifully executed. Moles are a standout, everything great. The pay de coco was one of best desserts I’ve had and I’m not a huge dessert person.

Sol de Mexico absolutely blew us away. We originally ordered three 5-course meals, and the chef surprised us by transforming it into a 15-course tasting experience. Every dish was phenomenal—beautifully presented, elevated in flavor, and crafted with true artistry. The sauces alone were a journey, ranging from perfectly sweet to deliciously spicy.
The drinks were just as impressive. Their margaritas are top-tier, and you have to try the Tamarindo Mezcal margarita—smoky, sweet, spicy, and easily one of the best cocktails we’ve ever had.
The ambience is incredible. From the moment you walk in, the décor makes you feel like you’ve stepped right into Mexico—vibrant colors, cultural touches, and a warm atmosphere that sets the tone for an authentic, elevated culinary experience.
Service was exceptional all around. Our server was attentive and friendly, the busser was fast and on point, and the chef personally coming out to greet us made the night truly memorable.
If you’re looking for world-class flavors, stunning cocktails, and an environment that transports you straight to Mexico, Sol de Mexico is a must-visit. We can’t wait to return!

Hosted a 25 person Birthday here and was blown away by the level of care, service and delicious food. Home made tortillas were a guest favorite, mole Enchiladas were to die for, the bacalao was perfectly cooked. Everything was delicious, can not wait to go back and enjoy more of this Belmont Cragin Gem.
Four of us went to enjoy dinner at Sol de Mexico. From the spectacular margaritas to the amazing moles, we were all happy. It's a bit of a drive from where we live, but well worth it. My husband kept raving about the chicken in almond sauce. The mixed appetizer platter was outstanding. This restaurant is a cut above, and the service was excellent.

I have eaten all over the world and this place is top 3 for me. So many varieties of mole. Grilled meats are the highlight here - outstanding quality and the grill flavor is amazing. The seasoning of everything from the beans to the steaks is just so perfect. The menu changes pretty frequently which makes each visit exciting. The atmosphere is also really nice - very cozy and welcoming. The family who runs this place really knows what they are doing.
