Dont eat the steak tacos. We Ordered 16 steak tacos for our work employees and respective families. Every one of us including the family members we brought home tacos to eat have had food poisoning last two days. My daughter kept saying it doesnt smell right and none of us believed her. She got lucky and didnt eat more than one before refusing to eat more. Its unfortunate the restaurant has a great reputation locally. But food definitely got us sick.

Worst customer service. I went to pick up my sisters Togo order so that my 9 month pregnant sister didn’t have to go and 2 men walk in right behind me and they got helped before I did wasn’t greeted asked what I needed or anything is it because I’m a young lady? I had to call the store just for somebody to come up front Then we were trying to figure out what order was mine and they asked me was the name under this name I told them no told them the name gave me the wrong food then we called them and the MOD on 10/20/2025 had the audacity to catch an attitude to tell me a buying customer it was my fault. As somebody who works in the food industry no matter the customer is right wrong your goal is to create a good experience for the customer and y’all created the worst.
We did end up going back to then get the correct order, refunded for the difference, and was offered 2 free drinks but that does not excuse the customer service we received at first by the employee.

Their entrees are the hallmark, here. Fried tortilla chips are a plus though the salsa is extremely weak.

Craving a stellar Taco Tuesday experience? Look no further than El Sol, where the vibrant atmosphere meets a menu that sings with flavor. From an impressive array of tequilas that would make any aficionado swoon, to mouthwatering tacos served in a space bursting with character and charm—this spot is a fiesta for the senses. And when it comes to margaritas in Harrisonburg, I’ve sipped my way through many—but Tommy’s Margaritas stands in a league of its own. Bold, balanced, and beautifully crafted, it’s easily one of the finest pours in town.

Margaritas made to order, house made chips and queso were all delicious. The service is attentive. This is the real deal.

The place was clean and the place is nice although the waiter did try to up sell us at all times. For example we asked what was better of the 2 plates and she ignored the 2 options and chose the most expensive plate that was on that page. When we asked for the fajitas, she said so the texan fajitas that where twice the price. I got the golden tacos and they where great with a side of rice and beans. First time good place. Employees nice but ours tried to upsell us.

We go to El Sol several times a month, and they are my favorite Authentic Mexican restaurant in Harrisonburg. Service is great and the food is even better. I only had time to take a picture of the nachos appetizer because everything else was being devoured. We had a mixture of quesabirria tacos, tostadas, and chicken tacos.

We took a chance as we are traveling. So glad we did. The food was truly amazing, from the salsa and chips to the taco and burritos. The best part was Diago who was bartending. Great young man and a very skilled bartender. Highly recommend El Sol.

Seriously - the best Mexican food in Harrisonburg, and that's a tough title to win.
There's something special here, too.
Sopa de camerones is legit world-class. I've traveled the globe, and this is some of the best dang soup I've ever had in my life. It's unbelievably good. You absolutely have to try it 10/10 would make people travel from DC to Harrisonburg just to try this soup.
Incredibly authentic and low priced!
