Enjoyed their food so much, I brought home chuleta de cerdo (pork) plate - with a piece of their amazing Chorizo, a chicken empanada and beef empanada and platanos maduros! I broke open the piece of pork so that you could see inside, so tender and juicy very flavorful with a beautiful crispy crust on it. It is my absolute favorite number one Colombian restaurant in the area, the owners and the staff are such good people. It was packed to the gills yesterday! Really loved the table in front of me that was full of family celebrating a birthday. It is always a treat to eat in! Cannot beat the prices for the portions and the quality. Always consistent.

Start things off with a refreshing Stiltsville Special Rum Punch or a tasty Junipa Colada, a bubbly pineapple soda with Spiced Rum. Then dive into a delicious plate of Mariquitos Nachos, a classic plate of Arroz con Pollo, or the amazing Lechon Asado (tender roast pork marinated with onions). If you're dining with friends, order a few dishes and pass them around -- most are big enough to share. Service was outstanding on both our visits here, and ample parking is available in the Apex decks. A fantastic addition to the SouthPark dining scene, Calle Sol is one spot I hope stays around for a long time.

We went on a Saturday afternoon and enjoyed the friendly atmosphere and attentive service. Our meal was excellent as it has consistently been, especially since the changes have been made to the restaurant. I want to make sure that I mention the cleanliness of the women's bathroom. This is the second time in a row that I've used it and it is very well maintained. It's large, clean and odorless. It gives me an overall positive feeling about the restaurant, which adds to my comfort when we eat here. We love coming here. The prices are reasonable, the portion sizes are just right, and the servers are attentive and friendly. A great experience!!

I get the pupusas and my favorites are the Reveulta and the Jalapeno ones. I love the Curtido and the spicy sauce that they will bring you.

We got the Pollo and Queso (chicken and cheese) pupusa and the Loroco and Queso ( Loroco [a flower bud native to Centeal America] and cheese) pupusa. I feel like this is the first time I tried to pupusa and I know it was the first time my dad and nephew had ever tried pupusas. We thoroughly enjoyed them. They were ok plain but the red sauce and slaw that they gave us to go with them really enhanced the flavor. My dad ate most of the hot bar plate that. The plate came with rice, beans, a pupusa, plantains and a main dish. We got the beef. It was a good size portion. The ladies and the gentleman that assisted us inside were so helpful and happy that we came to try their authentic dishes.

When I initially visited (in their first couple of months after opening) I was super in love with this place. Unfortunately every experience after that has been super inconsistent. I've ordered their seafood sancocho three times and every single time I've gotten a different dish. The last time I ordered it - it was more so vegetables with 2 teaspoons of broth, some rice and old fried yucca. If you look at the photo - I believe you can tell the yucca looks like it'd been in the fridge for days and they just threw it in there for good measure. The waiter didn't smile and generally looked miserable to have to deal with me. I asked for hot sauce that never came. Just overall, really disappointed in my last experience here and unfortunately won't be retuning due to how inconsistent my last few visits have been. You might get something that tastes decent, you might not.

I placed an online order at 1:27 PM, with an estimated pickup time of 1:55 PM. I arrived at 2:10 PM, expecting the food to be ready, especially since I was on my lunch break. Unfortunately, my food was just being prepared when I got there. As someone who works during the day, I order online specifically to avoid delays. While I've met the owner before and found them very kind, there was no apology or acknowledgment for the delay it was handled like this was completely normal. I still enjoy this place and want to support it, but I hope they can tighten up the online ordering process and communicate better during delays. Time matters, especially during a workday especially when the establishment was not busy at all.

What I did appreciate were the excellent tamales and delicious Salvadoran food in general. If you want soft gooey creamy Central American style tamales along with some great pupusas and other stuff served by some very attractive people - this is the place to come. Prices are rock bottom and while some servers are not as friendly as others you really won't care when you taste this wonderful authentic Central American food hidden away in Charlotte, in a spot where almost nobody speaks English - which is always a good sign. But don't come here for Bulgur Wheat. For that go to El Bulgurcito.
