El Sol is like a smaller Chipotle. The prices are good but the portions are rather small. The steak meat is seasoned well. I got the taco salad in a tortilla bowl. They have a good variety of salsas. The chips and salsa are tiny. The tortilla chips were just ok. If you're hungry and just looking for a small meal that tastes good, this is your place. read more

Delicious fish tacos, they grilled actual nice size pieces and top with cabbage, and cream and a drizzle of hot sauce. Serve it perfectly with limes on the side and your choice of white or Mexican rice. read more

The food is above average. Lots of options, including different rice, pico de gallo, and meat options. Food is similar to Moe's Chipotle, or Qdoba, but with a larger selection. The staff are very friendly and prompt. read more

I can definitely recommend this establishment. The staff were delightful and helpful. Everyone in our group of four loved their dish. It was great being able to go to counter and have each dish custom prepared with obviously fresh ingredients. And the price was very reasonable - $42 for 4 adults including beverages. read more

Excellent Tex-Mex! Everything is wonderfully fresh! Amazing guacamole, fresh-made chips, and superb fish tacos! Love it here. read more

Authentic with a tex mex twist. Awesome food. Ask for the steak and shrimp burrito- it's not on the menu but they will make it for you!

This was a great surprise on our trip home from Nashville! The food was very fresh and very good. The server recommended the pork, and I really liked it! My husband had the chicken and it was good as well. Would have given a five star if the portions were a little larger and they didn't add a $.25 fee to get water. They also charge if you use a credit card. More understandable now, with the increasing costs of products. read more

Best fast Mexican food in Lebanon. Has Taco Bell vibes with regular sit down Mexican attitude. You can be in a hurry and not have to be worried about being slowed down. Really tasty food and a lot for your money. read more

Atmosphere is fun & well designed! My whole wheat burrito with ground beef was huge & loaded with the ingredients I chose. It was okay, nothing special, not much flavor & cold & mushy. After driving 400 miles today & having our first sit down meal of the day, we were looking forward to trying this place after reading all the positive reviews. We were both kinda disappointed. read more

Very good food stopped to get gas and came here cuz of its 4.5'stars was worth it!! Great guacamole and I had a burrito bowl was delicious. Partner had a chimichanga and loved it! read more

New to Lebanon, this Tex Mex spot has a lot to offer. Where else is there 4 different kinds of pico de gallo? This is a quick in and out build your own bowl, salad, meal place. Seems authentic to me! Reminded me of being at Blue Coast Burrito on Carnival Cruise lines! Lots to choose from including seafood options. Nicely decorated. Staff are friendly. Guacamole is extra .50! read more

Stopped in because it was near where I was working and boy am I glad I did! I ordered a burrito bowl and it was humongous. They weren't skimpy with the meat or toppings and everything was both affordable and delicious. I'll be a regular now. The selection of meats is large and there are multiple styles of brand and rice. They also have four versions of pico de Gallo to choose from. Very fast and friendly service made for a great experience. read more

The food was great! I am from Arizona and have lived in Tennessee for 14 years and finally found a restaurant that hits close to home. The service was exceptional, I love being served by happy people. The ambiance was fun! read more

Born and raised in So-Cal I found the food passable. The flavor was not flavorful spicy and hot spicy. The restaurant was clean and had a fun decor and the service was good. It just does not have the Mexican authenticity that I was raised with in my local Mexican restaurants. read more

This is your average run of the mill Chipotle/Moe's style burrito place. It has a couple extra styles of tortillas, rice, beans, and salsas compared to those places but none of them were spectacular. They also do not steam the tortillas so they are not as pliable and harder to roll. The tortillas ended up rubbery and we also were not in love with having to peel the paper away from the burrito as we went since they cut them in half. We were not fans of the salsa given to use with the side of chips it was too acidic making it unpleasant... hopefully that was just an off batch. Flavorwise I'd probably give this place 4 stars but the price knocked it down to 3 stars. 2 burritos with guac & 2 drinks with the side of chips cost us about $30 which makes it too expensive to visit on a regular basis. read more

Awesome food! My partner and I just moved to the area from Texas and we were craving a taste of home. We found it, much to our surprise. We ordered the shredded chicken bowl, some pork tamales and a horchata to drink. Everything was delicious!! Made us very happy, satisfied our craving and we found a new go-to Mexican restaurant. The place was clean, parking was easy, and the staff was nice. Highly recommend. read more

This is the best food I have had on my visit to Tennessee . Definitely outdid themselves , and can 100% say it's quality food read more

Everything is so amazing here. We have tried it all and it is so much better than any other Mexican restaurant in Lebanon! The burritos are huge and they taste so gooooood! read more

I have been to El Sol multiple times. Every single time they hit with efficiency. From baby sized burritos to filled to the top taco salads those flavors do not miss, and the customer service is always on point! Today I branched away from the typical fair and order the shrimp ceviche. My order took about 10 minutes to come out to me but is was most certainly worth the wait. The gentleman that made it handed it to me and said "I'm sorry it took so long but I really hope you like it." Did I like it? No, I loved it. Hands down this beats the local ceviche that I have had in Mexico. I hope that the doors at El Sol stay open for a very long time. If you are ever in the area it would be a disservice to yourself if you did not stop by. read more

El Sol Taqueria Express - container of food - Tex-Mex Near Me - Lebanon, Tennessee

Shout out to El Sol Tex-Mex over by Home Depot. Stopped by on the way home last night and carried out our order. The Shrimp Quesadilla, Chorizio Burrito, and Chips & Queso were all excellent. Glad they were open until 6pm so we could stop by. Great Experience!!!!!!! read more

Good value for the money. Not horribly expensive. Burritos are huge. Tons of protein and toppings.

Food prepared ahead and sitting in heating bins. Food not flavorful or fresh...The staff is super nice, but the food tastes like it's been sitting for a long time before being sold. I'll never go back, read more

Good food ,friendly service and to be honest with food prices the way they are not badly priced at all , they keep the place spotless and work very hard to achieve their dream. Hi check them out and support a business that cares! read more

Great tasting food and salsas. Generous portions with reasonable prices. I eat here at least twice a week.

Delicious! Ordered the shredded chicken burrito and it was tasty. I like choices of tortillas. The burrito was massive and priced well for the amount of food. No one else was there so I do hope this business gets the attention it deserves as it is a bit out of the way from the traffic. read more

This is a great spot. The food is really good and the service is fantastic. This place is a gem.

I am a true Tennessee country boy and if you think that means redneck or rebel racist that's on you but typically I stick to old fashioned country style food but today EL SOL showed me what I have been missing. The pinto beans!!!! maybe the best I have ever had, and trust me I assure you that I have had my share of all garden fresh beans. Grandma will not get the blue ribbon this year Oh my gosh! Fish? At a toco place? Well KFC wasn't afraid to try chicken and tacos so why not. Oh and let me say this before I forget you owe it to yourself to try this place and don't be afraid to change. Now Back to this fish concept. I chose the Tilapia Vallarta and let me tell ya it was so good and seasoned so well that I hate to say this but I believe Tennessee catfish now has some competition for second place. Now it takes something kickass to make a country boy write and spell this much out but I owe it to whoever put this business plan together a some respect. thanks for showing me the other side of the menu Oh and country boys don't care about you not have a mask on because we probably already have dirt on our hands anyway. And you can tell from how clean the place was and how the food was prepared and delivered that they are getting high scores from the food inspector. Negative people are the problem now days and even more than COVID or people not wearing mask or hanging out together, grow up or shut up read more

We stopped in for the first time tonight. It's a build your burrito kind of place. I got a shredded chicken burrito bowl. The meat was perfectly cooked. Nice juicy chicken. The rice beans and queso were awesome too. We'll definitely be back! read more

This place shows you that with hard work and attention to detail you can obtain the American dream. Me and my son love this place the portions are huge and the ingredients are super fresh . The employees are super nice and very professional. I always get the quesadilla it has a choice of different wraps and I love the pulled chicken . We will be back this weekend as always! read more

It's a little dirty sometimes but the food is good and hearty. They give you great sized portions and I never leave hungry. The staff is always polite and friendly. The only reason I'm giving it 4 stars is because there have been times where I've seen the place a little dirtier than I like but, that could also be from a lunch rush or dinner rush that I wasn't there for so I can't judge too harsh. Overall it's great. read more

Delicious Carnitas. Fast friendly service. Easy to get in and out during a weekday for lunch. Clean work space. Fresh ingredients.

absolutely wonderful! from the quality of the food to the truly amazing service to the atmosphere, this is absolutely one of the best mexican food experiences in the region. The servers are wonderful and attentive. They even brought all my family's food to the table regardless of fact this was all served cafeteria style. There was one minor problem with the meal but they corrected it extraordinarily fast, blessed us with more than we originally asked which showed me they had character, and made every attempt to cover us the rest of the meal. The servers were incredibly attentive to our needs. They went above and beyond what I expected and even did so a a price-point that was well-below what I thought a meal of that caliber and volume would cost. My whole family was just reeling after th experience and I was blown away. Im soooo glad we chose to eat there today and not somewhere else! One of, if not the best food options in Lebanon, especially for lunch! Well done! read more

This place is amazing!!! I loved the chicken burrito I ordered! The flavor I received from every bite was incredible. Everything was freshly made and delicious! I will definitely come back if I'm in the area. If I could I would give this place 10 stars! read more

Crazy good. This eatery loosened my grip on reality. Never before have I been shaken so hard by a burrito. Big fat ass burrito too

Unfortunately this restaurant needs to make sure they are following CDC guidelines. None of the employees had on mask. One employee had on gloves. The other employee had on one glove, then after making the customer ahead of us food he take their money and then proceeded to touch our food without washing his hands or changing out his gloves. Our food was cold and our taco salad bowl was stale. I hope they can improve so the restaurant can succeed. read more

Amazing!!! Clean. Nice workers! And you get an amazing amount of food for what you pay! Plus it's such a neat concept. Think Subway but for Mexican food! My favorite place to eat now lol read more
