So the Menudo was great. Had a great red color to it and a nice spice. Not too hot but not too mild. Just right. The bread was nicely buttered and toasted to perfection. The cheese Chris is nice and cheesy. Both meals were prepared hot and ready. read more

This is my second time eating here. Its a really cool place. They have indoor and outdoor seating. It is kinda hard to find. So slow down when your in the area or else you will pass it. The burritos are flavorful and they stuff them nicely. I will return and recommend. This is a solid spot. read more

The breakfast burritos were cooked really well, so good and filling. The Carne Asada and Super Bueno burritos. The staff were friendly! It's a beautiful place that feels welcoming and like you're at home. We'll definitely be back. read more

My boyfriend woke up wanting Mexican food for breakfast and decided on this place because my daughter's name is Sol. What a great choice, the ambiance!! The staff was great, they have beautiful art work all over the place, it's such a treat just to see the inside! And the music, this place is pure perfection! We got 2 burritos, a steak egg and cheese (con papas) and a chorizo burrito as well as a Plato de chorizo. So, while we were ordering (you order and pay before sitting), this guy walked in without a mask and had the worst attitude about being asked to wear a mask because this establishment still requires you wear one upon entering and the ladies handled his nastiness so well! Anyway, back to the amazingness that was this place, our food arrived so fast!! We also got their aguas frescas; agua de sandía y agua de limón. They were so perfect! Tasted fresh and sweet but not overly sweetened. The burritos were great (I think their tortillas might be made in house, they still had flour residue), the size was big, I added cheese to my steak burrito and egg, to steak, to potato and cheese ratio was perfect. The meat is less like asada and more like cubed steak. The chorizo was so good, I liked that it wasn't super greasy like these tend to be. The chorizo plate was perfectly portioned and came with a flour tortilla. Can't wait to come back and try more of their food. The owner was also here checking on people, making sure everyone was satisfied, such great hospitality. Such a great experience and delicious Mexican food. It's so tricky eating Mexican food out when you're Mexican because we have certain expectations and this place met them all!! Don't forget to get the chips and salsa, too!! read more

THE BEST BURRITOS I'VE EVER HAD. Seriously. And I've eaten tons of burritos in my time. Every ingredient is top notch. The tortillas are fresh and authentic. The salsa is just right. My recommendation: Try the chorizo, egg and potato burrito. If that isn't your style, try something else. The entire menu is amazing so you really can't go wrong. read more

This place is DELICIOUS!!! I love how they decorated it inside and the eating area is pretty nice too, where you can eat in peace and not have all the people who come in and out and ordering. The service was great and they were so nice, my son. Loved his breakfast burrito and me and my unborn baby loved our breakfast burrito as well. Their sauce is so good!! My son, who is visiting me from San Diego said this better than the breakfast burrito place my dad takes me too. Haha...Will definitely be coming back! Had to also splurge on their treats and tortillas,bought some. YUM!!! read more

Been here twice now for breakfast burritos. The first time was solid, closer to a 5 star review. This time around, the burritos are just okay. Both the chorizo and bacon breakfast burritos had very minimal of both chorizo or bacon. They were both more heavily egg burritos, which is incredibly disappointing considering I am NOT going to restaurant, especially a MEXICAN restaurant, for their eggs... will give them a third chance, but unfortunately, if you are looking for a solid breakfast burrito in the area, you have a 50% chance of it being a really good or subpar burrito. Considering how many Mexican restaurants are in the area, not sure if the gamble is worth it. read more

Best meal so far on this trip! Had the super bueno breakfast burrito which was delicious! Tons by of flavor, nice size, and the salsa was great! The wife had Huevos rancheros and loved it! The melon Augua Fresca was excellent! read more

Great customer service, very current payment system, beautiful art everywhere, music going through the restaurant and a huge menu! The carne asada is so tender and the enchilada sauce for their enchilada style burrito is delicious! Their homemade red salsa is perfectly blended with a nice kick and their tortillas are fantastic. Only thing I'd say was lacking is the chorizo, it's good but I'm used to it homemade dripping with oil and spicy but theirs is clean and makes a burrito that's filling without bogging you don't if you want to have it during the middle of your work day. I'll definitely be back, can't wait to try other things! read more

Sol café has this nice and authentic feel with some yummy food! Their burritos are some of the best I have tried! The decor and vibe of the place is also great to take a friend or family! I already had twice their burritos this week so best believe I will be back! I also tried some of their sweet cookies and were to die for! Highly recommend! read more

First time in this place but it won't be the last. The Chorizo Burrito was incredible - one of the best I've ever had. The cherry empanada was gone before my wife would share with me. And the cinnamon sugar tortilla was amazing and melted in your mouth. read more

Excellent Chorizo. Have purchased it several times. Very good. Family owned. Very nice staff.

Cool vibe, kind service and tasty food. We had Saturday Menudo, a combo plate, chile verde burrito, chips and salsa, and jamaica. This was our first visit. We wanted to support a locally owned business and have a homemade meal. We will make this one of our favs. read more

Prologue: My fiancee decided she wanted to go for brunch instead of our usual Saturday night dinner date. Her online review of restaurants serving breakfast and lunch in our area yielded this result along with several good reviews. The Plot: We shared the Huevos Rancheros Plate, a Breakfast Burrito (with ham, chorizo, and potatoes), and a Pumpkin Empanada. The Scene: Good, simple home-style dishes cooked to order is the best way to describe the items we tried. The portion sizes were decent, appropriate for breakfast, and sufficient to satisfy both of us (along with chips and salsa, as usual). I do like my eggs over easy with the yolks cooked as gently as possible, which was exactly how the Huevos Rancheros was prepared. The eggs were served on top of a crispy, fried tortilla that was easy to cut with a fork and covered with a very tasty green chili gravy. The plate also included the traditional beans and potatoes. My fiancee was completely satisfied with her burrito, which was prepared with plenty of the meats and a freshly made tortilla, and was a good vehicle for lots of chili sauce as well as a nice compliment for the Huevos Rancheros. The Rest of the Story: The restaurant was cozy, service was very friendly, and the prices were reasonable. Epilogue: We've discovered another nice, quiet place for brunch on the weekends that deserves a solid 3 stars. Photo Design: by Billie Z. read more

The best breakfast burritos and authentic Mexican food I have found. So yummy. I only wish they were open longer as they close after lunch.

ADORABLE Mom and Pop bakery and casual breakfast place (Not Fast Casual). For a decade, Filibertos has been my go-to for simple, large burritos that are close by, but since the new management, I have been craving a solid breakfast burrito.The kind owner of El Sol also happens to own El Zocalo (large sit down restaurant with amazing margaritas and mole in the heart of Downtown Chandler). I got 4 burritos TO-GO: Egg/Potato/Chorizo, Egg/Potato/Ham, Carne Asada (added potato/cheese/egg), and a Pollo Asado (reg). Quick Tips: -Hidden! Next to an auto body shop and across the street from Bosa donuts -INCREDIBLE Salsa. I wonder if they have a spicier option. Not only did we get a lot of salsa with our burritos to-go, El Sol SELLS their salsa at Safeway. -Cheese is NOT already included in the burritos (+$.50 each burrito) -1/2 the size of a Chipotle burrito, but very filling -Outstanding tortillas that you can buy -I have been here before for their tacos. Carne Asada was the best. -Cute bakery with inexpensive pasteries! Flavor 4/5 Even though I mooched a little of everyone's burritos, my Pollo Asada burrito ($7.65) was my absolute favorite. Extremely tender breast meat, tossed with a delicious asada seasoning and pico de gallo, and snuggled inside one of the best flour tortillas (smaller than Carolina's). Chorizo breakfast burrito $4.89 (with added cheese (+$.50)) was amazing!! Great ratio of potato and chorizo/egg. The potatoes inside were my mom's favorite. Carne Asada $7.65 (with added cheese, potato, and egg (came out to about $10)) was a little too subtle with the flavor. No exclusive breakfast option available. Salsa was necessary. Nevertheless, it was happily consumed. I prefer the taco version. Ham breakfast burrito $4.89 (with added cheese (+$.50)) was another wonderful option!! My second favorite!! My small grandma devoured the entire thing. Price 4.5/5 Prices start reasonable! But four burritos with add-ons almost broke $40. Surprisingly filling. Worth it!!!!! Service 4.5/5 One more cashier would have sufficed! Busy, but worth the wait :) I couldn't make the burrito last two meals, but these were some of the best!! I definitely recommend that El Sol put the Carne Asada burrito as a BREAKFAST option as well. Will bring the family to sit down and eat next time! read more

Seriously the best Mexican food in chandler. Really miss their other restaurant that closed El Zocalo...and the hours at this location are hard to make most days. Check their hours as they run it for breakfast and lunch...wish they were open for dinner. read more

Im shocked and flabbergasted at the other good reviews. This is probably the worst Mexican food I've ever had in Arizona. We came with high hopes. We walked in and everything looked cute and the food sounded good. We ordered and the front girl was friendly enough no issues with her. They have a small bar and one of the managers or owner's sons was sitting there with his girlfriend. The girl was sitting there giving everyone dirty looks when you walk in. An odd thing to put in a yelp review but maybe have the family eat on the side or in back... it was unsavory. So after the initial weirdness we order and get our food. The meat in my husband's chimichanga had an odd smell and after taste. He told me first and I thought maybe they added too much cumin. I tasted it and he was right. Then my tamale was made with maseca (corn meal) that tasted like not enough water was added or something. They were dry and grainy. Tamales should be made with fresh masa. The actual food seemed very low quality. The pictures are what we left. Just a cautionary tale to save your money. read more

Went for breakfast with a friend, local guy raised in the neighborhood. Ordered our huevos rancheros at the counter. Chips and salsa brought to the table. Really good fresh chips! Breakfast was perfect and delicious. Nice crispy corn tortilla, with the eggs and green chili on top. Creamy frijoles, and a hot home made flour tortilla. Nothing fancy, but everything was fresh, home made and delicious! read more

This place is delicious. The tortillas are so good - fresh, thin and exactly what fresh homemade tortillas taste like. Their salsa is also one of my favorite things here - my husband and I mainly buy the breakfast burritos, but we have gotten things like the chile quiles and huevos rancheros - also very good. This place is so good that when my sister visits from Los Angeles, we have to pick up breakfast burritos for her. Do yourself a favor and try this place! read more

Pretty solid joint. Been on my radar for 2+ years and the cold weather today prompted my visiting. Went with the super bueno breakfast burrito; handmade tortillas, beans with lard, and two types of pork. Can't get much better than that. Cool ambiance reminiscent of Mexico and great views into the kitchen. read more

Moved back to the valley recently from Denver and oddly enough I was having a tough time finding a breakfast burrito down here that was similar quality to my spot in Colorado. Found El Sol a couple weeks ago and it's definitely the best so far, over places like Los Taquitos and Original Burrito Co. Both of those places have good breakfast burritos, but not quite as good as El Sol in my opinion. I've had the sausage, egg, and potato breakfast burrito as well as the chorizo egg and potato. I have them add cheese and green sauce to the inside and they're very tasty. read more

Amazing food! Have to try it. Don't miss out on a delicious lunch with great carne asada.

I'm just have to add to my previous review. This place is by far my favorite Mexican lunch place!! Not only is the food delicious here but the service is excellent. The people who work here are super friendly and attentive and deserve recognition for that!! read more

We like to try a different restaurant every weekend, and after trying El Sol the first time we knew we'd be back. Their food is great, the staff is friendly, and it's filled with colorful artwork. We really love this place and it's become our "go to" spot for Mexican food! read more

chilaquiles tasted really good. I added steak and it was amazing together. I also had a horchata and it was perfect. It wasn't too sweet. The staff was really nice. I stopped by on Saturday and the Menudo was so good! I can't wait to go back. read more

Wow, we rolled up for breakfast, and were pleasantly surprised. My wife ordered a breakfast style burro with their green chile, and I asked if they had chilaquiles... WHICH THEY DID! Yeah, its not on their menu, but the chef will whip an order up for you. Their enchilada sauce perfectly complemented this dish. Their chips and salsa were tasty, and my wife's burro was delectable. Really, it was delectable. I'm not just repetitiously writing the word delectable for the hell of it. I'll be bringing the familia back to check them out for lunch, or maybe dinner fare. And if Shakira happens to be in the neighborhood, she can come too. read more

Carne asada burrito was no joke y'all. Oooweee!! :) Why get one here, instead of somewhere else, you may ask? Well, whatever they did to the tortilla my perfectly cooked carne asada was on made it distinctive and amazing, and to be more specific, there was just the perfect balance between softness and texture-something I would usually only expect when eating cake. I've been meaning to write about this place and just got around to it today. There are so many other food items here that are delightful also, and since they open at 7 am, it would behoove you to visit in the morning and try their breakfast burritos one day. They are only open from 7 am-2pm, and that "only" I throw out there is by no means a passive aggressive complaint; rather, I only want to to give you a heads up," and mention that this place does more business than places twice the size. This shows these folks know what they are doing. Its been around for decades and is a local staple for sure. Start your weekend off with breakfast here if you are in Chandler. Its comfortable and nice inside too! read more

Yummy New Mexico menu with hatch chili, homemade tortillas. Staff friendly and helpful - food is made-to-order and fresh

The salsa is fresh and very tasty, delicious baked goods. Tasty Mexican food and clean restaurant. Very friendly staff.

Service - very nice, efficient, informative, and no pushy sales (jk). Wait - mmmaybe ten minutes. We dined in so we certainly weren't in a hurry. Food - started with chips and salsa. Best tortilla chips ever. Thick, but crispy so they break clean and easily but no threat to breaking teeth. Salsa was innocent, until you least expect it and then it sneaks up and says hello. A nice bit of flame to lure you back for more. I think my Mother In Law might like this stuff. My breakfast was Juevos Rancheros and it was prepared much differently here than anywhere else I've had it. Those other places must be fakin' it. Crisply fried flour tortilla topped with two eggs and their green sauce, refried beans and some fantastic fried potatoes on the side along with a hot flour tortilla wrapped in foil to keep it hot. I think I heard myself say, "Get in my stomach" outloud! I'm so embarrassed. Okay, not really. It was smelling so good and several steps from the norm, I was happy to have a fork in my hand and doing its thing. I couldn't finish my breakfast but my son was happy to finish the task and lick the plates clean. I enjoyed talking to the owner and the wife of the gentleman whose art graces the walls. I enjoy seeing nice art by local talent on display, and how cool is it that he's part of the business too. Great food and a feast for the eyes as well. Love having another fantastic dining option. read more
