My mom and I went yesterday for a last minute bite to eat. It's always quiet inside, which is nice when you just want to relax. The service was great and the waitress was very attentive. We decided to split the chicken and steak fajitas. We enjoyed the meal but we did both agree the fajitas were bland and needed more sauce and seasonings. Even with sour cream and some guac on top we felt the meat needed a little something. All in all we will go back as we had a nice experience. read more

This is a great Mexican food restaurant. Brunch was good. My party really enjoyed it. I specially liked their tortillas. The service is nice and attentive. I will definitely go back for their seafood enchiladas (I got a taste of somebody else's order). read more

El Sol De Mexico - Eggs with chorizo and onions. - Mexican Near Me - Waukesha, Wisconsin

First time trying this place and honestly, I'm pretty disappointed. I ordered carryout on a busy day, just expecting a quick, standard meal. I got steak tacos thinking they'd come the usual way--with cilantro and onions--like pretty much every Mexican restaurant does. Instead, I got tacos with steak, lettuce, and tomatoes... which makes zero sense for a steak taco. That's not traditional at all. If that's how they make them by default, it should be made very clear when ordering. Yes, there may have been customization read more

El Sol De Mexico - Mexican Near Me - Waukesha, Wisconsin

I was there last friday night with my girlfriends at 6:15pm. I had a miller lite at $5.95 a bottle. are you out of your mind. 6 bucks for one bottle of miller lite???? maybe because you don't have any specials or happy hour, that's why no one goes there. your prices are ridiculous especially for a bottle of beer. read more

We stopped in between baseball games to enjoy a mexican breakfast while nearby. Ordered chorizo and eggs with tortilla as well as a skillet with carne asada and chorizo. Everything was delicious! Very friendly servers, cool ambiance and music. If you like an authentic spot, this is the real deal. Horchata was excellent! read more

I've driven past here multiple times but finally stopped in for a meal. The service was excellent. The ambiance was casual and the typical Mexican flare. I had the Gorditas with the rice and bean platter and two rather tasty margaritas. The whole experience was good. I wasn't blown away but I am happy to have found another good Mexican choice. MKE, keep upping the Mexican food quality. I don't mind. read more

My wife and I enjoyed our food and margaritas. We ordered the guacamole, which was very good, as an appetizer. We have been to the restaurant several times. My wife ordered chilles rellenos, which she typically does. I selected an item which I had not had before, Asada A Li Tampiquena which was very good. The service was excellent. The staff was friendly and prompt in responding to any requests. The ambiance is typical of many Mexican restaurants, nothing fancy but comfortable and lighting that is too bright for us. read more

We have been here twice. Menu has a lot of different options. We ordered our food and had it in less than three minutes. It was hot and delicious both times. Super reasonably priced. Great service. Our new favorite place to eat in Waukesha. read more

Food was good, service was great I just wish that the entree was a bigger portion. The dinner seemed like the portions were small. The salad next to the rice and beans was literally one inch across read more

Great service, and delicious Mexican food. Ambiance is ok they have a bar but have never seen anyone at since everyone comes for the delicious food. read more

I love to come here for lunch! They have well-priced, tasty lunch specials. I am a big fan of the tacos, enchiladas, and quesadillas. The waitstaff is always kind and working hard! I usually come over my lunch break. They are always able to get me in and out within an hour. Glad to have them in the neighborhood! read more

Service is on point. Food is of high quality. Give the place a shot. Highly recommend it. read more

El Sol De Mexico - a chocolate milkshake and a cup of coffee - Mexican Near Me - Waukesha, Wisconsin

HORRIBLE. i don't know where these good reviews are coming from. They must have low standards. What kind of Mexican restaurant has cheese burgers and pancakes? That should tell you all you need to know. Most entrees only come with meat and cheese inside and you can't add more. They don't have cheese dip. And the service was... disappointing. Go somewhere else. It's not worth it. read more

Very nice people, seems popular with families. Everything was tasty. Excellent chips and salsa. Don't let the tiny parking lot fool you, plenty of seating inside and there is more parking alongside the building. read more

Good meal. The service was great. I love going here. I got a monster salad.The Salad was big. I love Salads

Place never disappoints. We have been coming here for a few years now and I now feel the need to give this place a review. They have this tilapia dish that I crave once in a while and I can't find anywhere else. Their service is always solid, super super nice people. My son who is in college always wants to come back to this place. Anytime we are in the mood for a yummy Mexican and we don't want to drive the distance to Milwaukee, we come back to El Sol. Never ever disappoints. Always clean and spacey. Plenty of parking in the back. read more

I hate to write something like this but here goes...I just spent $26 for a carryout steak and egg burrito. I ordered American Fries and toast as well. It was $24 total and I guilted myself into giving a $2 tip, which was not worth it. The burrito sucked. No flavor in the meat at all. American fries were like a half order and not crisp at all. Toast was missing, even though I got jelly. I just feel abused here. There are too many great Mexican places in Waukesha for this place to exist. read more

Food was great the only reason I did 4 stars. But the gentleman at the to go bar was not it. (Bald guy with glasses) he looked miserable working not sure if he had a bad day or what but if I were management I'd reconsider that type of employee. The guy didn't even add salsa to my order after I specifically asked for salsa and didn't get any plastic wear he legit rushed me out of there. read more

The service was so quick and friendly. The food was so daaang good. Everyone needs to come and try The Sun of Mexico!

This place does not get enough love in Waukesha! Best Mexican food in town! Drinks are also good. Their homemade hot sauce is to die for! Fajitas are excellent! read more

While in Waukesha around lunch time I checked my book marks to see what I had in the area and this was one so I stopped by for lunch. The place has about six parking spaces in front and looks small so I hope there is parking in back or something. The place is bigger than it looks from the street and it looks like it was repurposed into a restaurant. The walls have some color mostly yellow with blue at the bar. There is a small bar in the back with a flat screen if you want to do that. There is booths on the side walls and tables and chairs in in the big open area. My servers on point throughout my whole time while I was there. My server asked if I wanted chips and salsa and I asked for a small version so as not to waste a whole container of chips. The chips were the dry store bought kind and were not the house made with that light oil on the chip. The salsa was fairly boring with no stand out flavors with a small heat finish, just way to tame for salsa. The menu has plenty of items to choose from but I would try the three taco dinner with beans and rice. A asked my server how the tacos are made and sure enough they were going to put lettuce and tomato so I asked for cilantro and onion because I don't want Americanized tacos. The table had only salt and pepper with no hot sauces but there was a cloth napkin. My plate came and no hot sauce came with it so I guess they don't offer any hot sauces with the food and maybe you have to request it. My tacos were ground beef, shredded chicken and al pastor. I sampled all the meats before I tried the tacos and the ground beef was on the dry side in comparison to the other meats. The chicken was moist but just tasted like plain chicken. The al pastor was moist and tasty and clearly the winner on this plate and the only meat I would get if I went back. The rice and beans were ok and nothing special. Overall nothing was bad and my service was good but this is just average when you compare it to some of Milwaukee's greats at all price ranges. I would eat again if I was in the area like today but if I was going out specifically Mexican I would head to the Milwaukee known ones that I like. read more

Their pitchers of margaritas are a great value for the price! The food was also great.

Went in on a Friday night at 8 for the first time. They are open until 10. Nice looking place - clean - and reasonable covid precautions. We decided to order margaritas, and they had a number of tequilas so we asked for a drink menu. Were told they did not have one. Hmmm. So we ordered margaritas anyway and they were pretty good. Small dish of salsa, but it was very good. Small tray of chips, but warm and tasty. Would have liked more refills, even if there was a charge. Asked for hotter salsas and were given verde and habanero - both were excellent - but served in squeeze bottles. Would have been nice to have in a dish for dipping. Must say I usually love queso, but not available here. Menu in general was pretty unadventurous, with meat selections of just pork, beef and chicken. Food had great flavors, and everything tasted fresh and vibrant. Will go back and try again for this reason. Service was polite and mostly efficient. At about 9pm, well before closing time, the server mopping the floor, even near our table, with a strong disinfectant that obliterated the sense of smell was most unwelcome. Have to take off a full star for that. Will try again due to the taste of the food, but have to say overall did not find the experience all that great, so will not make any special effort. Think there are much better options within 10-15 minutes, sadly, as we really wanted to like the place. read more

This is the best Mexican restaurant in Waukesha. Came here in September for lunch and had the enchiladas with shredded beef. The best rice I've had in the area too, not salty and perfectly seasoned. I came here with a family of 5 and they had something for everyone. My 6 year old had a pancake, and my 15 year old had beef tacos. The service here is amazing. They are super attentive. Go support local business! read more

El Sol De Mexico - Enchiladas Rojas de Queso - Mexican Near Me - Waukesha, Wisconsin

The service is great. Everything on the menu is great but the Mexican fried ice cream is the best I've ever had!

I've moved in Mexico and went to the best Burrito places in Chicago (El Faro) and Milwaukee (El Local) and El Sol does a good job. I've introduced family and friends to El Sol since my recent move to Waukesha and they've all enjoyed it immensely. Service is always joyful and quick, but most importantly, the food is very good. This is the type of place I like to support with my burrito dollars. read more

Clean, music was not loud, friendly service, food was good will definitely be going back !!

I love this place! A lot! Food and drink is delicious and plenty. Also food is served in a timely manner with a very large variety of authentic menu items as well. Prices are reasonable . Great hours. The service is friendly and welcoming always with a smile. Plus they always have enough staff. The ambiance is really clean and comfortable. We are repeat customers and will continue to eat here and recommend to others. read more

We ordered for carry out recently. The fajitas were so delicious and flavorful, I will definitely be returning just for those! My only complaint is that they did not have the order completely correct when I first got there and I had to remind them about some of the items before I left. We also liked that they had a variety of food options for those family members that don't particularly like Mexican food. read more

I ordered the combination with taco, tostada, and enchilada. I ordered pastor for the taco and chicken for the other items. The pastor had a nice flavor, slightly spicy, but a bit too salty. The chicken was mostly tender but some was dry, and the enchilada sauce was good, too. I also thought the rice and beans were slightly better than average with good flavor. Service was solid. My friend ordered a strawberry margarita on the rocks and it was too sweet, as if all puree. She told the server she couldn't drink it and ordered something else. He obliged without question. The water was absolutely horrible, like it came from a pan that was used to wash dishes. I ordered a can of Sprite, not wanting to trust the fountain drinks. The place was divey, the service was good, the food was good, and the drinks were bad unless you order from a can or bottle. I'd give 3 1/2 stars if I could because I enjoyed most of the flavors, but leaning more toward 3 than 4. read more

Food was delicious and Hot even on a to go order. Customer service was friendly and prompt excellent for such a small Place read more

Ordered take out from here for two; had beef tortas and chicken enchiladas. Our order took 15 minutes so not too long of a wait. The host checked the food in front of me which is always awesome. Overall, the food was great, at a fair cost, and the host was super kind and friendly. No complaints here!! read more

Our waitress, Mari, is exceptional with serving and her AWESOME attitude and personality. Breakfast was great. I'm all about how people treat you and Mari makes you feel welcome. Great job Mari. We will be back! Greg and Lu Beebe read more

The food is awful. Corn tortillas not properly handled or made. Just sad. The meats are tasteless rubbery and just fatty. It's gross. Bottom of barrel ingredients. The range of salsa or anything for that matter very thin. Idk where all these great reviews are coming from but they clearly didn't actually eat. I took ONE bite which I spat out into a napkin of my food and left it and my own children didn't even eat theirs after a few bites. So it was a waste of money, of course no refund or concern for why a very large order wasn't actually consumed and refused to be taken with or boxed up. Just ewwww. Horrible food. If you simply look up the reviews before eating here you'll catch that clearly their staff and families make the good ones. Go to el palmar it's a small local place but god is it good and properly priced read more

The food is amazing at El Sol De Mexico. I highly recommend this place and is one of the best Mexican restaurants in Waukesha.

THE BEST MEXICAN RESTAURANT IN WAUKESHA! My girlfriend and I have visited several Mexican restaurants to sample and so far we have had the best service from here. Anthony was definitely a hustling worker and I always appreciate seeing that. I hope his hard work and ambitious attitude stands out to others when people visit. The fajitas were full of flavor and the margs were the bomb.com, nice and strong how the Wisconsin people want them. Definitely recommend for everyone and we will be back! M read more

This is easily my favorite Mexican restaurant, and perhaps my favorite restaurant in general. Their Enchiladas Suizas De Pollo (first item on the menu) is a near religious experience; especially if you add their chile de arbol hot sauce (I think that's what it is) which you may need to ask them for. Their tacos are also amazing. Corn tortillas are authentically doubled up, and the flour tortillas have great texture. The fajitas and chimichangas are also top notch. I've never left disappointed and I try to eat there at least once a week. In fact, usually when I'm done eating, I want to hug the cook. It's SO GOOD. read more

This is one of my two favorite places to go for Mexican in Waukesha. I love coming for Taco Tuesdays - $1 tacos. You cannot go wrong with their chicken tacos! read more

I enjoy this little family Mexican restaurant. Neighborhood atmosphere with inexpensive and very flavorful tacos al pastor.

Not your run of the mill Mexican. The al pastor was very tender and had the right amount of spice. Beans and rice were standards. Had good service even though it was someone being trained. Combination plate was way too go. read more
