My company enjoyed their lunch very much, however I ordered the deluxe taco salad. It had a tiny bit of unseasoned chicken and what seemed like a head of shredded lettuce. I added salsa to ot so it wasn't like eating plain lettuce. They definitely sanitize with bleach. Everything had a strong bleach smell md even our soda tasted like it had bleach in it. I would not recommend this restaurant for their food or beverage but our waitress was the sweetest. read more

Customer service was not good. We felt very disrespected. They didn't cook the food right. don't go here.

Love this place for mexican food. Authentic and at a great price. Staff is very friendly and service is fast. Only mexican place my wife (Hispanic) will eat. I take my staff here for lunches... good food... good price... good people read more

Nice little place. I had the beef and chicken fajitas and a margarita. The fajita stuff was tasty, if not a little dry. Unfortunately the periphery additions like the rice, beans, and tortillas came in pretty small proportions. Not really anything to write home about but if you're craving some Mexican diner food, it'll scratch the itch. Would probably be a 3.5/5 if half stars were allowed. Do be aware that the barbershop next door is ran by a white supremacist though. read more

As a Californian I'm spoiled with delicious options on every corner but for Portland, this place had decent food. Server was friendly and attentive. read more

I have been going here since I was a kid, and I have not once had a bad meal here. Their service is extremely quick, friendly, and if you are luck enough to have Izzy the owner check in on you, he will never forget that you were there. His staff always goes out of their way to make things great. Truly a non-downtown gem for yummy Mexican! read more

You get a lot of food for the low price you pay! Also, I had a great experience with the woman who took my to go order, she was super friendly when I came in. The foods great. I'll definitely be coming back. read more

Really good food and fast and courteous service. I came in for takeout last night and only waited about 8 min for my food. Came in for dinner tonight and service was speedy again and very yummy. The guacamole was fresh and yummy also. read more

I live very close by, and would go there occasionally if this place were at least average, but sadly it is not. One time there was more than enough. The food is *really* bad, as is the service. And the final kick in the pants is that they charge too much. Taco Bell has better food. Probably the worst Mexican restaurant that I've eaten at in the greater Portland area. And that's saying a lot! read more

Delicious food, a wide variety of entrees to choose from on the menu, yummy drinks, delicious dessert, fast service and friendly staff :) delightful! read more

I love this place. Great authentic Mexican food. The chips and salsa are incredible, I'm addicted to them. Great music in the background, fun staff. read more

I got a couple 12 dollar super burritos one beef and one chicken. The chicken had zero flavor, over cooked and the beef could have been better if they used canned cat food. I do not suggest this place if you want good food at a good price. Speaking of price, way to much money. I mean way way to high. $15 for a carne asada burrito , no thank you. Do yourself a favor and pass by this place. read more

Wonderful neighborhood restaurant! Our new favorite Mexican restaurant! Very friendly, prompt staff. Excellent, warm & tasty chips. Very tasty salsa full of flavor & not spicy hot. Super good cheese enchiladas & my wife loved her mole chicken & cheese enchiladas. More than good beans and rice sides. Very cool vibe & atmosphere. Great views of the adjacent wetlands. Just do it! read more

Nice cozy place to enjoy some Mexican favorites. The Asada reminds me of my many nights in Tijuana. It was excellent. I highly recommend the taco salad but have them do half chicken and half pork and then drench with tapatio. read more

Really impressed ! Good service and amazing Carne asada, also really yummy fresh salsa with some heat! I will definitely be coming back to this place! read more

Good mexican. I like this place. It has affordable food, a good view, and very helpful staff. The portion size is good for most people, but I prefer very generous portions, and they fall slightly short. I've been there many times and always enjoy it, but rarely take leftovers. I waffled around between three and four stars, but stuck with four because of how consistent they have been over the years. Overall i like the place a lot, but have discovered la isla Bonita which I also like a lot nearby. I will keep going back and forth between the two. read more

We ordered food there several times. The food is excellent, I don't know much about traditional Mexican food but I love this food. The servings are pretty big. We always have leftovers. Highly recommended read more

An okay place for take out, not for eating in. Our server seemed annoyed to have to work that night. She was rather curt. My biggest issue: I ordered the fish tacos, and they had FISH STICKS in them. Nasty. Re-heated fish sticks, in your dinner menu tacos? Really people? I was surprised to say the least. It was very pathetic. If I want fish sticks I'll buy a box at the store for a third if the cost! Their salsa is good. And that's about it. read more

Food is good and consistent. I've been coming here for years, would definitely recommend the steak fajitas, el sol enchilada, and mole enchilada. Rice and beans are always tatsty. Margaritas are hit or miss. Very, very quick service and not too pricy. Love the chips and salsa before the meal! If you are looking for a simple and tasty mexican place in Tualatin this is your spot. read more

Greeted us promptly and service seemed okay. But break out your pocket book. I am amazed they stay open with the prices they want to charge for Mexican Food. A good 2 - 3 dollars per plate more than most any other place I've been. They even start charging if you want more chips. The food wasn't bad... but I wouldn't classify it as good Mexican Food at all. Just not my kinda place I guess. read more

The food was kind of experience for what we got. The taste was very average nothing special defiantly not worth the price of food. But the staff was nice! read more

$16 dollars for a Carne Asada "burrito" is not worth it. Chips and Guacamole were good

I have come here numerous times. I always like to give places plenty of chances just Incase someone had a bad day, bad cook, etc. I am not a very picky person either. Just want my food done right. BUT, every time I come here, the male servers are RUDE! Mess up my food and they don't even fix it either. On top of that, they don't check on you to see how the food is tasting because they know they messed up and can care less. Today is the last time I will come here. I've had my food messed up way too many times and the servers give me attitude every time. read more

Our favorite Mexican restaurant for many years,the best salsa I have ever had! l keep suggesting they bottle and sell their salsa,they haven't yet! Please go and enjoy ! read more

Good neighborhood basic rice & beans Mexican restaurant. The service is very upbeat and friendly as mentioned in other reviews and they really make kids feel welcome. I wouldn't drive across Portland for this food, but if you are hungry for basic Mexican fare and are nearby, it is a good place to stop. read more

Good food and service. The owner is always there greeting you at he door and is extremely friendly. The chips are great and always warm and if you want authentic Mexican come here. read more

Hey guys. This place is solid. The chips and salsa are fresh and tasty. The tacos are a little bland, but pretty much everything else is spot on. A good value for the money and convenience. read more

Pretty unremarkable industrial mexican food. A glop of beans, a glop of rice and some obviously warmed up food that arrived way too quickly. Very expensive for what we got and the food was bland at best. The margaritas were tasty tho, if you want a big glass of ice with some margarita flavoring I think based on the cost, I'll go to Taco Bell next time. read more

My family and I have been coming to this restaurant since we moved to Portland and that was 12 years ago. The food is consistent and the people haven't changed. I love coming to this place because they are very family oriented and I don't like change that much and thankfully they haven't changed one bit plus the food is amazing. read more

I like the Mole at this place and the rest of the food is not bad, we have been eating here on a fairly regular basis for at least ten years. Finally the service got so bad I have to mention it in a rating. The service people and manager are minimally friendly at best, service is perfunctory. The last two times we have had problems getting a cheese filled burrito, the first time we told them, the guy argued with us about whether they could put cheese in a burrito and told us we were the problem. We tried to give it one more try, asking for and specifically getting agreement that we could and did order a cheese burrito, again no cheese, the owner first told us that we could not get a cheese burrito, then told us there was cheese in there. The waitress confirmed she told the kitchen to make a cheese burrito and apologized.They did offer us a new one but by the time we were able to get them to the table and then get the waitress she had eaten about half of it, so she told them that was not needed. We asked for a $2 discount since they were charging for meat and we asked for cheese and he told us no. He would have made us a new one but not fix the mistake with a small adjustment. He even accused her of eating it all and trying to get a bargain. This is more than just a one night dissatisfied complaint, it is a totally slide in the way the people treat customers in this restaurant we have watched over the last 2 years and just one night too many for us. Food is not bad, manager is at best arrogant, we observed this for awhile, experienced it the last two times we visited. Unfortunately good food isn't enough when you feel bad about being there. Too bad because it used to be such a happy, lively place. read more

Being a native Oregonian, I get tired of people named Carol from California lamenting about the lack of "authentic Mexican food" here in Oregon. I tend to think that Mexican cooks certainly have a better perspective no matter where they happen to live and share their food. That being said, I have never had a less than excellent meal here and the service has always been great. Been coming for over 20 years. Side note..my Mexican friends love this place. Come in. Order anything. Be happy. No one cares that you're from California. Especially in Oregon. read more

Tons of delicious choices in Mexican food! So many to choose from that we took forever pouring over the menu. Delicious chicken mole burritos and chicken enchiladas. Great service too! read more

Just had dinner here earlier this evening. I am surprised at the number of 3 star ratings. My husband, who is Mexican, and I decided to give the place a try based on ratings as well as a particular posted photo. I tried the pollo asado (grilled chicken) and my husband ordered his all time fave, chile verde. First of all my pollo asado looked NOTHING like the picture one reviewer posted. The two chicken breasts were paper thin - no exaggeration! There were no grill marks to be had anywhere on the meat. My husband's chile verde, which should be chunks of pork, simmered slowly in a flavorful green chile sauce was simply pathetic. The cubes were about 1/2" and they were floating around in a weak verde sauce...no flavor or heat to them at all. To make matters worse, there were literally 10-12 TINY chunks of meat...enough to fill one of the 4 flour tortillas served with his dish. Oh, and the tortillas were not homemade at all. We live in Milwaukie and eat at Mi Pueblo often - they make the most delicious corn tortillas. The ones served with my pollo were from a grocery store and not very warm or soft. The rice was decent as were the beans but everything felt like it sat in the oven or a microwave because the plate was screaming hot...even by the time we finished the meal and they cleared the table. The salsa they served with a hefty bowl of chips was very good - nice heat to it - sadly that was the best part of the meal. I guess I wouldn't be so critical if they only charged $10 for the plates, but each one was $14.95 - overpriced for the quality/quantity. We will never eat here again. As California natives, we know good Mexican food and my advice is don't bother. read more

We've been going here for local Mexican food since 1999. The staff are always super friendly and on top of it. The salsa is outstanding! The food overall is solid and consistent. Maybe not the most authentic in the Portland area but the place works for a quick weeknight out for local Tualatin Mexican! read more

We've eaten here a number of times--usually a very positive experience. This evening, the meat was mistakenly left out of a burrito by the cook. We pointed it out to a manager/owner. He acknowledged the mistake, but was not willing to discount the price for their error. We didn't even ask them to re-make the food. We merely asked for a fair price for what we had been served. We were greatly disappointed in the blatant lack of interest in maintaining good customer relationships. read more

We have been here countless times and the food and service is always great; even the kids like it. It is clean and the service is excellent!

El Sol De Mexico in Tualatin is a great authentic Mexican place to eat. The owner/manager is always there greeting you at the door and is extremely friendly. My family loves the chips and salsa before the meal. The service is wonderful and the food is delicious! As a parent from Bridgeport Elementary school, I would like to say, "Thank you for your generous food donation to our Cinco de Mayo Fiesta!" So if you are looking for a simple and tasty Mexican place, then this is your spot. It is right off I-5 in Tualatin so it's easily accessible from Tigard, Lake Oswego and other surrounding areas and well worth the drive! read more

Please be seated with Tula as your server --should you be so fortunate!! She's so lovely!! She had great suggestions and handled our substitutions to err more on a healthy side of a couple dishes deftly! No problema!! There was another review from someone else from LA (like me) who was slightly more disappointed but I'm an Angeleno and this was very El Coyote People!! Highly recommend the crab enchiladas (no fake crap here!!). The kids loved their bean & cheese burritos and we crushed all the pico, guacamole, and sour cream. We done cleaned our plates! It's simple Mexican just as I get on Santa Monica Boulevard at home. It was a bright and fun ambiance, so charming. Clearly a family business and I love it. Looking forward to going back soon! read more

Went here with my best friend a few weeks ago and we went at about 3 when there was no one there. It was so amazing! We were just looking around for a place to eat and found a fantastic restaurant with nostalgic ambience, great music, and friendly service. Not to mention amazing food!! I really thoroughly enjoyed their chips and salsa, the beans and rice were amazing, and so were both of our main dishes (enchiladas and quesadillas con pollo). read more

This place is awesome! The food is authentic, the service is extremely good and the people are very friendly. I eat here often because I work very close, and I would suggest it to anyone. read more
