This place was so incredible. I had a great time eating here. The atmosphere was well-decorated and comfortable with high ceilings. My friend and I loved our strawberry mojitos- they have a great bartender. The birria tacos were seriously some of the best i’ve ever had. Great restaurant + service!

El Sol has consistently great food... It breaks my heart to hear the owners are selling... May prospective buyers continue the excellent experience El Sol has represented for years...

Waiter was very nice, but wish he had taken our dinner order sooner. Bit of a wait between appetizers and main course and to get our drinks. Enjoyed their chips & salsa and frozen margaritas. Fajitas were subpar. A bit pricier than other Mexican restaurants. They charge an extra $3 for cheese on the fajitas and $4 for the fajita topping plate.
