Absolutely delicious My friend really likes her tacos. I love enchiladas so that's what I always order. The margaritas are delicious. read more

Great Mexican food in lovely Lander. Staff and owner are friendly, attentive and food is fabulous from house made salsa to perfectly balanced sauces. If you want soft street style tacos make sure you order them that way otherwise you'll get old style fried crisp taco shells. I have a hard time getting away from ordering the basics here. They really elevate a simple cheese enchilada into something special with their homemade enchilada sauce. It's nuanced and delicious. This place is a sure thing if you are driving through and have a hankering for good Mexican food. It's right on Main Street near the ace hardware. If street parking is a problem, pull into Ace and just walk a few extra steps read more

Their food is always consistent and very good. My wife has their arroz con pollo and she loves it. Their Camerons ala Diablo is also one of my favorites. read more

This is one of my favorite places in Lander. Ozzie and the Team are so friendly and work well together. Love their soft tacos and rice. Wife gets a special order fajita soft taco. Don't change a thing guys. read more

We are big fans of Mexican food. This was by far the best Mexican food we have had since a trip to NM a few years back. The chips and salsa were just right. The house Margarita was great. I had the Salsa Verde Burrito which was huge and delicious, and my husband's spinach enchiladas were chuck full of spinach. The service was excellent. We wish we were not just passing though town. It would be our go to restaurant. read more

Cute ambience, great food, and excellent service make this a highly recommended spot for a nice Mexican meal. Good salsa and fresh chips started us off. Nice huevos rancheros and great Guadalajara tostada salad with chicken sealed the deal. Tasty GO - you will enjoy it! read more

Pleasantly surprised- everything was delicious and fresh! Good spice to the salsa, tasty margarita, great chicken taco salad, tostada and enchilada. Also the best service ever. Will definitely come here again -thank you! read more

My main disappointment is with the style of Mexican food here. Rather than the New Mexican-influenced Mexican you can sometimes get in the mountain states, this was firmly in the Tex Mex-style Mexican. That's not necessarily bad, it's just the main type of Mexican food I can get up in Alaska. This is big, hot plates, with a pile of beans and a pile of rice. But it's done well. They have various Mexican beers on tap and in bottle/can. They were out of most of our first choices though. read more

El Sol De Mexico - carne asada - Mexican Near Me - Lander, Wyoming

While passing through town we decided to give El Sol De Mexico a try for lunch. Street parking was available and we walked in and were seated immediately. Our server was friendly and had us munching chips and salsa before we knew it. The salsa was fresh and delicious. We ordered and food was served at our table in under 10 minutes. How do they do that? My dish pictured here as exactly as ordered, and tasted fantastic. Just the right amount of food to get me back in the road again. Thank you for a great meal. read more

See all

This is specifically for the reviewer Kris S. A so-called "Elite Rater" they are a liar. The so-called homemade sauces and nuances of food are lies. This place has terrible service and the food and drinks taste very pre-made/canned food. The margarita might as well be the pre-mixed drinks you can buy straight from a plastic bottle. The prices are outrageous for the quality and service. Do not recommend. read more

Everything was great service and great food. The salsa was exceptional as were the Margaritas! Between all of us, we had tacos, burritos, and enchiladas and we loved it all. read more

I definitely recommend the mole! It was excellent! I grew up in Lander and always enjoyed El Sol de Mexico. Even living in California now, I haven't found better Mexican food than here. read more

The food is good and the staff is very friendly and attentive. We had the Espresso Carne Asada Burrito and Shrimp Enchiladas. The burrito was tasty, but could have used more sauce. The enchiladas were quite good also. We found the salsa to be bland. The staff checked on us constantly, which was refreshing. read more

A gem in the middle of Wyoming next to the Rockies!! I've been coming here for 13 years and have never been disappointed. The service is wonderful and the food is amazing. The inside is so colorful and warm, very welcoming and cozy yet super festive! Love everything but my absolute favorite is the enchiladas with mole sauce. So if you are in need of some delicious Mexican in Wyoming give El Sol a try! Ps.... The salsa is the best with their chips!!! read more

Great food great prices amazing staff . Yummy food good portions don't leave feeling hungry .

Good food, great service. Extensive menu gives you lots of choices. I recommend the monster burritos.

I'm impressed considering the location. The carne asada rivals that of any I've ever found in Southern California or Colorado.

Food was good and what one would expect. Interior was quite clean and staff was friendly. This is not Fine Dining....!! Salsa was from a jar and is the reason not giving 5 stars. I'm a gringo white boy and could do better. This is "I'm Hungry for Mexican, and I don't want to go to a Chain-store." Would go again, skip the salsa and order something diff to try other menu items. read more

We were driving through this little town on our way up to The Teton National Park and accidentally discovered this gem. We are from AZ so we are used to authentic Mexican food. I wasn't sure what to expect from WY but this place nailed it. Every bit was absolutely delicious. Five stars. The bomb! read more

Great food, great margaritas, and great servers! Love to come here for our Sunday date nights (:

-sigh- I should have known better but I was so hopeful. To start, the margarita was just the worst. It tasted so strongly of sour that you couldn't tell if there was even tequila in it. I ordered the queso fundido. It was a plate of melted cheese. I do not jest. I had to cut it with a knife (don't judge, I like cheese). It looked like it had been microwaved. I'm not sure why that's worse than any other method of melting a plate of cheese; it just bugs me. Also, the salsa was out of a jar. It was that jar salsa red- too bright to be real- and it had no real flavor. The enchilada suiza was ok. Tasty I guess. The rice and beans were actually good. I decided not to tempt fate by trying the coleslaw. Why does a Mexican restaurant have coleslaw? The best thing about the place was the service; it was average. So, overall, I would say I don't recommend it. read more

El Sol De Mexico - Queso fundido? Yes, those are knife marks. - Mexican Near Me - Lander, Wyoming

Good food, great folks, and fairy priced. To be crystal clear; many folks eat here and you'll wait quite a while on some evenings, but even though that's true, we still look forward to eating here. Grateful they are here in Lander. read more

This is pretty much your standard Mexican food, at least as I know it on the West Coast. I know it's not right, but it is what it is. The service was fine. There's just nothing special to say about this place, but it was good for what it was. We didn't spend enough time in Lander to know if there were better options, so I'll give it four stars. We didn't try the different "flavors" of margaritas (their quotes, not mine). read more

Food was good, but service was terrible. Took forever to get order, and even longer to get drinks. Asked for water 3 times and never for it. Got combo plate and was good but not great. Ready of groups food seemed ok, but no one said it was great. Would try again for food, but not service. read more

Love this place!! Everything we've ever tried has been delicious.... rice, beans, enchiladas, tostadas, taco salad, fajitas. Great margarita's, too. Very friendly servers. Chips and salsa are given while you wait for your meal. read more

We love Mexican food. But this? Beyond great. The Mr. had enchilada with mole and they were spicy and flavorful. My taco with their own type of shredded beef was incredibly tasty. Wonderful chips and salsa. Try the flash fried jalapeño if you want a real kick in the pants. Will return every time we are in Lander. read more

Solid Mexican food. I eat here every time I am in Lander for work. Always delicious, friendly folks, very fast!

Food was okay, about what was expected. Staff was somewhat disorganized. Place did appear to be clean.

Way good mexican! Definitely worth the stop if you're driving thru Lander. Spicy salsa, speedy service, and a friendly staff.

Staff was very engaging & it made the good food even better. Parking is limited.

Ok. Satisfied a craving after 5 days in the wilderness. Green Chile was mediocre. The Carne Asada was better.

Good standard Mexican food. Good chips and salsa (salsa was better than the chips). Had the beef strip enchilada and a ground beef taco. Enchilada was good, taco was average. Came with beans and rice. read more

Very best Mexican food for several states! Excellent carne asada and machaca (shredded beef, seasoned and cooked long and slow) both the best I've ever had. Don't ever settle for ground beef when there is machaca available! Salsa is home made, and is so good we often get a quart to go. I have Chicano cousins in Abq - so I know what I'm talking about! read more

Food was excellent. Service slightly slow, but provided a relaxed atmosphere for visiting.

I have a Mexican friend who comes to visit each year and insists on eating here. He and his wife both say that this food is just like what his mother used to make. Very authentic. I believe it since most of the help speaks little to no English. I really like their food. I do wish they would make a Margarita from scratch. read more

Have been a fan since they opened in Lander years and years ago. Always an awesome meal and if i remember right they have awesome drinks to go along with the food. Reasonable pricing for the area as well. read more

I was raised eating Mexican food and El Sol is about as close as I am going to get to the real thing. I cook Mexican food, but it always tastes better when someone else cooks it. The service is great, the atmosphere is relaxing, the food is delicious and the music is Awesome!! I recommend everyone to eat here!! read more

I was looking for a good happy hour deal and saw their sign out front advertising theirs. I inquired within as to their happy hour specials and the waiter (manager) told me drinks were $1.50. I figured I couldn't go wrong with that so I went over to the bar and sat down and ordered a margarita, confirming again that margaritas were included in the special for $1.50 (I said, "Margaritas are $1.50, right?" and he said "yes."). I also ordered enchiladas. The food was good but the portions were way smaller than I was expecting. The margaritas were also good, though they were made from a mix from a box. At the end my bill came and it was nearly twice what I was expecting. I asked the manager as to why and he broke down the margarita costs by saying they started at $5.75 then became $4.25 after the $1.50 off. I asked why he told me they were $1.50 and he said he didn't say that. I forgot to ask why he confirmed that they were $1.50 when I asked that direct question. I ended up just paying the bill (and tipping, which I now regret), but I was pretty angry that night and the next day about the situation, as the cost of the meal ended up being way out of my budget. I felt intentionally deceived on the happy hour specials, perhaps because I told the waiter a little about myself and he knew I was only passing through. And aside from being ripped off on my drinks I wasn't particularly psyched about the food or the value. Definitely try another Lander restaurant. read more
