"We have been eating El Sol for over 5 years and they never disappoint. For appetizers, we order the homemade chips with guacamole? you are not going to find ANOTHER RESTAURANT with HOMEMADE CHIPS! This is what separates this unique restaurant with the nearby competitors. Guacamole and chips arrived to my table warm with delicious flavor. Food is always fresh, attractive , and tasty! My family and I always order the Sopes de Carne Asada, Tacos de Carne Asada, Gorditas"

I've been here twice now and the food is phenomenal. However, after today's experience I don't think we will be back. Stopped in an hour and half before close to get a drink at the bar and good to go. Was told the bar was closed, no worries we ordered our to go food. While we were waiting 3 guys came in and were sat and served drinks at the bar. I've never had an experience like this and it was super disappointing. Especially since we do enjoy the food

"The food was OK, but not outstanding. We had a reservation for 3 which we made about 2 or 3 weeks ago. It was parents weekend. Yesterday my son asked if we could increase the number in our party from 3 to 5 so a couple of his friends could join us. We called yesterday and left a voicemail asking if it was possible to increase the size of our party. Apparently they don’t open until 5:00. They never called us back to let us know whether it was possible. So we called back and spoke with someone at 5:30. They told us it was not possible. That is fine, no big deal. I was disappointed to see that they easily could have accommodated a larger party as the table for two directly behind us was never occupied while we were there. I would have ordered the imperial stout, but they didn’t have it. We ordered the cheese board. The focaccia and homemade butter were good, but the cheese selections were uninspiring. There was a goat cheese Brie which was a miss in my opinion. The blue cheese was ok, and there was a cheddar which was also just ok. We ordered the feta Cesar salad and this was very misleading. I think it is a big stretch to call this a Cesar salad. I did not get the sardine flavor that is the trademark of a Cesar. Also, for a salad making feta the feature, it lacked feta too. Next, I ordered the local farm steak, New York strip which was supposed to be aged for 45 days. I can’t tell you that it wasn’t dry aged, but it was a really thin cut for a dry-aged steak. I ordered it with the Demi glacé sauce. I can definitely say that this was not a Demi glacé. I have taken the time to make a Demi glacé before and I would refer you to chef John on YouTube for his Demi glacé. The thing you look for in the sauce is that it is thick enough so that when you run a spoon through it, it remains separate for a moment and has a dark caramel, glossy color. This sauce was about the color and consistency of tea. As a side I ordered ratatouille. What I got instead were vegetables which were whole and grilled. They were not sliced and layered as a ratatouille preparation would required and I did not get the tomato base. By this point I was so disappointed with the food I skipped dessert. My wife and son ordered some. My wife ordered the white chocolate cheesecake which came out as 3 small dallops of something, but I gotta tell you, maybe it vaguely tasted like cheesecake. My sone had the triple chocolate cake, and said that it was basically just a devils food cake. We paid $206 for the meal and I was very disappointed in the overall meal. On this one, I would have to say both the front of the house and the back of the house were to blame, but I think the kitchen needs to really focus on quality. Maybe these issues will pass by some people, but ratatouille is pretty distinctive, and that wasn’t even close. I didn’t give them zeros for this, but they are not performing above 2 starts."

"Finally gave this place a try and was no disappointed. Friendly staff, cozy atmosphere, and tasty food. We opted for one of the sushi combinations and everything was fresh and flavorful. They even have a sauce station with spicy mayo, white sauce, and yum yum sauce."

"The Reuben sandwich was very good. The steak sub order was mixed up from the beginning. After the order was taken, a different waitress came by to check the additional toppings we had ordered on our chicken sub. Oops, no, that was a steak and cheese sub order She yelled to the kitchen and proceeded to take the order again. When the order was delivered, it came without the additional toppings and dressing. Had to ask twice to receive them. Husband finally stood up and went to the front to receive the dressing. Even with it, the sub was very dry. This required another request for mayonnaise. Then, it was edible. By the time we had all of the order, the food was getting cold. Not again soon."
