I almost don't want to post about this place because it still feels like one of those hidden neighborhood gems you stumble into by accident and then never stop going back to. From the moment you walk in, you get that authentic family-owned atmosphere -- warm, welcoming, and genuinely friendly without feeling forced. You can tell the people here truly care about both the food and the experience. The patio is easily one of the best parts. It's relaxed, comfortable, and perfect for hanging out over margaritas and chips on a nice evening. Somehow this place still flies under the radar, which is wild considering how consistently good everything is. And the green chile? Seriously incredible. Rich, flavorful, perfectly balanced heat, and good enough to put on absolutely everything. You can tell it's homemade and done right. Every dish we tried tasted fresh, comforting, and packed with flavor. What really made the experience stand out, though, was the service. Everyone treated us like regulars even on our first visit. Attentive, kind, and never rushed. If you're tired of overrated chain spots and want a genuinely great local Mexican restaurant with heart, this is the kind of place you hope never changes. Definitely deserves way more attention than it gets. read more

They are so good! They had to close for over a year because of a car that ran thru the building- but they are back and better than ever! The food is soooo good and the employees are amazing! read more

AMAZING! My absolute favorite fajitas spot south Denver area. Everyone is so friendly and helpful. 10/10

Great food and drinks. Authentic and friendly staff and owner. Coming back soon. If you like fajitas, enchiladas, and micheladas, you've come to the right place. read more

I got the horchata and it was more sweet than cinnamon, the food was fine. The service was fine and everything was quick. The restaurant was dark but looked fine. read more

Excellent service and fantastic food. A true hidden gem. I encourage you to try it.

Food was good. From San Diego and it is similar to El Toritos. Servers and staff were very nice and service was great. Enjoyable environment and we had a nice visit. Love the table lamps! read more

A summer day in June my family and I stumbled upon El Senor Sol! I walked in and a wave of deliciousness hit me, but the room was so dark I immediately stubbed my toe. I was extremely concerned because NO ONE was in the restaurant, RED FLAG. (This awkward space is supposed to be a red flag emoji but it wouldn't post.) I was throughly enjoying my Dr. Pepper until the gut wrenching and atrocious smell brewing from the cup crawled up my nostrils and smacked me in the face. Getting a bite of cheese in my quesadilla was quite the task it was like finding a needle in a haystack. The icing on the cake was my brother being too scared to order a corn dog from this Mexican restaurant because of the picture shown on the menu (update I think the menu changed but I am still scarred.) Despite the issues the service was quicker than the amount of time it takes to perfect saying El Senor Sol! read more

I've lived down the street from this restaurant for 13 years and this is our first time stopping in. I don't know why we waited so long. This was excellent! I had the flautas and my company had the enchiladas. They were so good! We'll be back! read more

This is my favorite place for mexican food. amd love the new decor. The service is always great and you can place Togo orders

DIGUSTING, absolutely DISGUSTING. First, their " salsa " is onion water, period. Second, they charge for SODA REFILLS!!!! But do NOT tell you that!!! $9 for my one soda?!?! Third, they CHARGE YOU EXTRA to pay with a CREDIT CARD!!!! So our 2 entrees and 1 soda= $50 . Had to REPETEDLY flag down the server. Then had MASSIVE diarrhea, 15 minutes after leaving. I ate NOTHING ELSE BEFORE THAT!!!! This place is terrible with overcharging and NO customer service. Do NOT go here! read more

Food and service was good. We will most certainly be back. Had the entire family with us

Takeout 4 entrees. Chicken burrito was good. All other entrees were below average. They need to do better if they are going to be successful. Very disappointing. read more

Wow wow wow!!! Great service , everyone works through team service it feels like. If you're looking to get twisted the margaritas are slappinnn'. There were three of us that came and we're all from Arizona - there are so many authentic Mexican restaurants there and we've been missing that since moving to Colorado! Food was very authentic and delicious!!! Ill recommend to anyone. read more

El Senor Sol - Margaritas - Mexican Near Me - Centennial, Colorado

See all

amazing staff and an amazing atmosphere. I'd highly recommend to anyone looking for a good drink and a good time.

Cheapest and nasty made food. I've ordered stuffed sopapillas that were just too deep fry flour tortillas but on top of each other not a Sopaipilla horrible experience. Also bought a solid from their horrible. Has lots of bones in it. Do not recommend. read more

El Senor Sol - a bowl of soup and a bowl of meat - Mexican Near Me - Centennial, Colorado

Restaurant was clean and tidy, not overdone with decor. Food was good. My husband and I went when it wasn't busy so we had great service since there were only a few people eating. I would recommend. read more

We were glad to see that this place recently re-opened after being closed for a couple of years. We decided to give it a try since we had eaten there before the closure. We ordered and paid at the counter and ran an errand, letting them know we would return to pick up our takeout order. We thought that our order would be ready after the errand but it was not and we waited for over 20 minutes. When we got home the rice & beans were missing from my fish tacos. However, I was charged an extra $2.99 for them. The fish was little rubbery nuggets, unbreaded and with a side of shredded lettuce & lime. No flavor and not what I've ever had with fish tacos. My husband's Mexican burger did not have any beans. The meat was overcooked and had no flavor. My bill was $50.00 for Mexican food that was not very good (tacos, rice/beans, Mexican burger and a side of quacamole). I even had included a tip. Since we live close by, I went back and let them know the rice and beans were not with my order and that there were no beans in the Mexican burger. They gave me the side of rice with extra beans. Beans were kinda bland. The menus were worn, not new like the renovated restaurant which looks plain & unfestive. There are some televisions but I think music would be a better choice. There were two cooks, one lady taking orders at the counter and a man, the owner?, waiting tables and a bartender. It looked like a busy night but they didn't have enough help. I gave this review 2 stars because the lady at the counter was nice and offered a refund for beans/rice and to make another Mexican burger at no charge, both I declined. Don't think we will be going back. Little George's up the street from this place is much better in presentation and flavor of their food! read more

Somehow managed to forget to get a picture of the food since it was devoured so quick. The drinks are alittle pricey but worth it. We come here quite frequently and every time the service is so friendly and caring. This little family joint works so hard to make sure you have a great experience. They have a small outside seating area in the back that is great during warm days. I would recommend either the enchiladas or the steak burrito. read more

El Senor Sol - Strawberry margarita and cucumber margarita - Mexican Near Me - Centennial, Colorado

I love, love, love this place. It is my go to for Mexican and patio. I love the Green Chili, the Margaritas, the queso, really everything! The staff here is hands down the best too! They all know me by name, my order, my kids orders. It is really nice this day and age to go somewhere the has the whole package. And it is worth the wait if you go during peak hours. read more

We ordered medium margaritas. When the check came the 3 margaritas were more than our meals! $17 each! And hardly any alcohol in them. They're food was ok and pretty high priced. Won't be back!! read more

Got seated and ignored while they took care of people who came in after us. When they finally took our order, the girl didn't remember and had to come back to the table twice and food order was still wrong, not even an apology. This restaurant used to be really good and has gone downhill. read more

The food was mediocre at best; my chili relleno was not hot in the center and my bean tostada was all lettuce. My husband ordered a house margarita and was charged $18 for it. No one expects to pay $18 for a house Marg. super dissatisfied, will never return read more

Have been going here for some years now mostly for lunch and it's been ok. Went tonight, first ever ordering margs and I noticed no prices posted on menu for these......well now I know why. Why check came, margs are $20 a piece! Excuse me!! Never again will I go back there. Not worth that. read more

Outrageous price on the margaritas, very unexpected when we got our bill, and afterwards the three in our party were so intoxicated we wondered if we had been drugged. No joke. I will never be back. read more

These place is amazing. Chicken is fresh. The margaritas are strong. If you want good Mexican come here

This place is our neighborhood favorite. Good, consistently prepared Mexican dishes. My son enjoyed the vegetarian options. Margarita had a good tequila to mixer with fresh lime. The service is always perfect. Highly recommend! read more

We ordered food from Senor Sol through Door Dash. We have enjoyed the restaurant and the food is a reasonable option in south Denver: not great but not bad either. We called the restaurant to ask who we could speak to regarding a Door Dash order that was missing an entree. The attendee who answered could be heard in the background asking for a manager, then we heard the click of the receiver hitting the cradle as we were hung up on. Considering it a mistake, we called back: no answer. Called back again and our number was blocked. We understand that restaurants are still trying to figure out how to participate in the gig economy with places like Door Dash, GrubHub and PostMates and mistakes are made. But to operate as if ignoring the problems is the answer is a certain way to lose customers. After multiple trips to El Senor Sol, this is our last. We have no interest in patronizing a business that treats its customers as commodities. read more

Seen this place for a long time and finally tried it. First the good. The service was friendly and timely. Food was good too. Ordered two "medium" margaritas and should have asked when there were no prices on the menu (my bad). $20 each...they were ok but nothing great. yikes! Then got bill and we were charged $1.95 for extra salsa??? Im talking the little half cup dishes of salsa. Ive never heard if a charge for salsa when they bring you chips? (First cup must have been free). Would have been nice to have mentioned it? Im clearly getting nit picky and Its a little thing but in these days of already high prices its things like that turn me off and that i wont go back for. What a shame. read more

This little hole in the wall has one of the best menudos I've had in Denver. You know it's authentic too when the entire staff has an accent. I also recommend the Chile con queso burrito with shredded beef. If you love spice, this is the place for you! read more

Way overpriced and not really all that good. Asada was really overcooked and zero flavor. Go elsewhere.

Tried this place for the first time tonight and had high hopes. Walked in to the smell of sewer and should have turned around. Everything we tried was so heavily flavored with garlic that we couldn't taste anything else. Was so hoping for a good Mexican meal but we will not be going back. And prices were very high for the lack of quality food. Very disappointing! read more

This is my favorite Mexican restaurant in Littleton. I love their friendly service, the food is always tasty and they have great margaritas! I particularly like the pregnant burrito!!!! read more

Service was quick, but the waiter messed up 2/6 orders by not writing anything down. Chips were burnt that were served first with their delicious salsa. Tamale, smothered burrito, and enchilada plates were pretty typical tex-mex. My chicken mole was fantastic. read more

This is our family's go to for Mexican and when friends/family come to town we always order from El Senor Sol. Our favorite dishes are chicken enchiladas with green sauce, queso burrito, tacos, flautas and sopapillas with either shredded beef, chicken or black beans. Staff is friendly and welcoming and many other groups of families all seem to be regulars welcomed by name. Highly recommend! read more

5 STARS ! You HAVE to eat here if you love Mexican food. I've eaten a lot of Mexican all around Denver & Centennial and this is the winner!!! Such authentic Mexican food with fresh ingredients it's to DIE for! I ordered the Molcajate with the special sauce on the side without cheese which was absolutely amazing! Everything in it was delicious. And it came with a special side of beans called Frijoles charros that was the best beans I've ever had and I don't even like beans lol! The special sauce is pretty spicy so if you are sensitive I would get it on the side. It's absolutely delicious! My mom ordered the Posole which was authentic, served with amazing flavor and was not greasy. It comes with cabbage, onions, and cilantro on the side and has authentic pork served with the bone inside of the soup. And the salsa that came with the chips was handmade, and so fresh! Love the authentic atmosphere and Mexican music playing in the background. It just felt so homey! I'm so full now and so happy I finally found a place with amazing authentic Mexican food! Seating wise, there are a lot of options & booth seating. I love their hand painted wooden chairs too! This place is super special & I'll definitely be coming back! read more

See all

First time eating here despite having lived in the area for years. Overall rating made me hesitant, but we tried it anyway and were glad we did. Food was good and quick. The played guac was fantastic and well flavored. Was only lunch, so no margaritas this time; but we shall return and have dinner and drinks soon. Inside atmosphere is fantastic, authentic, and on point. read more

They have ruined Christmas for us this year. We placed an order for four dozen tamales to be picked up on Christmas Eve 3 weeks ago. they said to call at 11:00 and they would let us know when they will be ready. they are not open today and there is no sign on the door. they will never get another penny from me, my friends or my family. I also have a rather large social media following and will be posting this on there as well. Merry friggin Christmas read more

This was the worst mexican food I have ever had. Started with the salsa, I think it was Pace, from a jar. Tasted like tomato, no spice, no real flavor. I just ordered nachos, easy right, hard to screw up. They came with something un describable on top that Was some kind of meat. Again, no flavor, added loads of hot sauce, but still...flavorless. I will never go back. Taco bell is cheaper and tastes better...if that tells you anything. Can't believe I would think Taco bell was better than an6 mexican restaurant read more
