This place is not mexican food. I could make everything on the menu at home easily. Small menu…read morewith basic food. My friend got a shrimp quesadilla. The shrimp were the little ones from a can. We ordered taquitos, they might have been the frozen ones you get at the grocery store and then fried. They were orange/reddish inside with barely any meat. Taquitos are supposed to have chicken not sauce inside. I had the pulled pork street tacos. Those were ok but why is the blue corn tortilla doubled up for each taco? Also, they only have one basic house salsa, if you ask for something hotter, they bring tapito sauce. Pluses are the service was really good and the house margaritas were good. If you are looking for authentic mexican. Stay away. If you are going for drinks, should be ok.

Great tacos! My mom was in town and I wanted to make sure we were eating authentic Mexican so we…read morewalked to El Sarape. Since we ordered takeout, the service was super quick and friendly. I could see myself coming for lunch and enjoying eating in. I love how colorful it is. We tried the chicken , Al Pastor, and steak tacos. My favorite was the Al Pastor because of the subtle sweetness. I feel like there's usually a struggle between these flavors and this taco was perfectly balanced. The steak was tender, but I think more lime would've helped Since the taco was a bit dry. The chicken was delicious. I asked for extra lime and they only gave me one. I do think the tacos are a bit dry so I would recommend asking for extra extra lime.

The decor is what you would expect from a stereotypical Mexican restaurant in the US, and everything was clean and tidy. No complaints. I got shrimp and al pastor tacos to go. They weren't bad, but they weren't anything special either. I probably wouldn't go back on my own for just food, but I anticipate that I'll have the opportunity to try other food items at future happy hours, and I'm hopeful of being able to give this rating a bump.

The place also has a bar offering a variety of cocktails and margaritas. I visited during a Yelp event, and my friend and I decided to give the tacos a try. We ordered the Birria Tacos, which arrived in about 15 minutes. The tacos looked appetizing, but as soon as we took a bite, we found them overly salty. The sauces on top were flavorful and helped balance the meat's saltiness. While the tacos were rich in flavor, the saltiness was a bit overwhelming. The staff was friendly, and if I were in the area again, I might explore other options from the menu.

EDIT: After the defensive response and false accusations from the owner on Google, I'm lowering my…read more3 star review to 1 star. I will not stand for an attack on my reputation. While I do have a social media following, I came in like anyone else as a paying customer. The restaurant had no idea that I was coming in, and this was as honest as it gets. I would have previously suggested this spot as a decent meal before a show at The Bushnell, but with an attitude like that, I will never recommend this spot. The owner seems very fixated on the menu prices that I called out (and I'm not the first to have mentioned it if you read other reviews), and while I can understand he may have his own justifications for the prices, we have gone to plenty of Mexican restaurants with better quality at a better price. We're not averse to paying for good quality, but unfortunately this didn't meet the mark for us, and I won't be bullied out of deleting my review. I stand on what I said and will always provide honest reviews. Original: My husband and I stopped in Sol Y Luna for Taco Tuesday. Really cool ambiance with local contemporary art for sale. The menu had some solid choices, though it was much more expensive than we were expecting. I'm not usually one to get hung up on prices, but 3 carne asada tacos were $29 and my husband's fajitas were $55!! For the price point I would have hoped for better quality. The fajitas didn't even come out sizzling, and we both thought our steak was gristly. The guac needed more salt (and I never add salt to anything), and the queso was very thin and seemed like melted down American cheese. The drinks were good, and the complimentary salsa was our favorite part of the meal. I do have to commend the service. Our waitress was friendly and attentive, and the food arrived quickly from the kitchen. We appreciated that we were in and out within an hour, so I can see why it would make for a good dining option before a show at the Bushnell.

There's a bit of seating and I ate my Oxtail, fried plantains, and rice and beans there. It was very good. I imagine the market has a wider selection of foods and goods you might need for Hispanic and Latino cooking. The Parking Lot is a bit tricky, both in terms of finding a spot and navigating your way out if you're lucky enough to get into the lot. El Mercado is a classic Hartford place you should check out at least once. Four Stars
