I love to see a vegan menu at an authentic Mexican place, and a thoughtful one at that, with more than one protein option, cheese, sour cream, etc. The beef burrito is probably my favorite burrito in this radius, and the quesadilla is always great. Limited seating, so I wouldn't plan to go here with a big group, but the takeout experience is always pleasant. Prep times can sometimes take a little while longer than promised, but Emma is always unwaveringly gracious and friendly. This review was made in connection with a Toast promotion. read more

I got three steak taco and the horchata and it was amazing. Seriously some of the best tacos I have ever had! Definitely will be going back!

Solid tacos here. For some reason half of the mom and pops little Mexican/taco shops around town they don't offer shrimp and fish tacos. But this restaurant does. And it's a solid choice. The slaw they use was tasty and so was the seasoning of both fish and shrimp tacos. They do have a few tables that you can dine in. The vibe there feels pretty homey for a little shop. Also have a few tables outside for outdoor dining. This location offers street parking only but it's not super difficult to park. If I remember correctly they do offer specials on Taco Tuesday.

Food: I ordered beef tostada and beef fajitas which was very delicious. The meat was tender and flavorful with peppers, and onions. They give you 4 tortillas to make into your own little tacos. The rice was moist and flavored accordingly and the toppings like the fried bean and guacamole was good. Sour cream was bit watery and the tostada does get soggy with all the toppings on the top but nonetheless still good. Tres leche is pretty sweet and I recommend eating it refrigerated Service: Food was made quickly and they made sure I had everything Ambiance: it's a lot smaller inside like perhaps 6 people can sit and there some outdoor seating but not much to work with. Location accommodation: Parking is side street parking and it's in a corner of a one ways street so be careful if parking over there. read more

Amazing vegan and non-vegan Mexican food and super friendly service in a really nice warm atmosphere. Just the fact that they have a whole vegan menu makes it a must visit for plant based eaters in Central Mass! Definitely going back over and over again :) read more

Sol of Mexico - Vegan Enchilada Combo and Beef Quesadilla - Mexican Near Me - Worcester, Massachusetts

Homemade authentic Mexican with many unique vegan options. Vegan tamales and sope are my favorite!

A great option on Pleasant Street right next to Park Ave. The food is terrific and fresh and the owner is extremely pleasant and kind. Love the tortillas here - they make the burrito 1000x better. And the chicken tortilla soup is excellent. read more

Stopped by during a walk this afternoon and found this gem. Although small, the atmosphere was incredibly warm and welcoming. The service was quick and kind. Everything from our chicken nachos and veggie tostadas to our main course of enchiladas and a shrimp burrito were bursting with flavor. Absolutely delicious and reasonably priced for the quality of authenticity and ingredients. They deserve the continuous flow of customers I saw coming in for the hour or so I dined. read more

Love having this spot right down the street. The owner is so sweet and having a vegan option when I'm not in the mood to cook Is awesome. The char on the burrito is perfect. The burritos are huge and yummy. I love that they have vegan cheese ( it's not on the burrito in the picture, I think they forgot and didn't hear me) but I've had it before and loved it. They even took my order right before closing time which means a lot. read more

Absolutely amazing food! The food has been consistently amazing and I always look forward to grabbing takeout there. I am so appreciative of the vegan options too! read more

Great food, super friendly staff. Plenty of options for vegans and vegetarians as well.

This review is of their vegan take out only. How exciting to have a totally vegan Mexican option in Worcester! I ordered the beef taco, hibiscus taco, and tofu taco with rice and beans and a vegan tamal. The vegan tamal is outstanding! 10/10 texture, taste, and look. I would absolutely order again. I found the steak and hibiscus tacos to be a bit too salty for my palate. The hibiscus was rather plain as well. The tofu was the tastiest taco of the three but was very soggy and hard to eat. I did get takeout so I'm sure everything was sitting for a bit but I think they all would've benefitted from double corn tortillas. The refried beans was a huge let down as their were watery and not very tasty. The rice was good but the container was really small :(. I thought the prices were a bit high for tacos a la carte (especially the tofu taco). Overall I'd order again but perhaps try some different items like the vegan chorizo torta or sope. read more

This place is so good, they have a really good deal where you can get 3 different types of tacos and 2 sides (rice and beans) and salsa with chips for $13. Along with the delicious food, they also have Mexican Coca-Cola (my favorite since it's made with REAL and PURE sugar. There was only one lady working there (the owner of the restaurant). The food was amazing. We'll definitely go back here for Mexican take-out! There's no A/C, which is why I gave it 4 stars. The art on the walls are beautiful. read more

small little shop with great food,my usual is the carne asado taco or carne asado tostada. Has great flavor and the service is good,the lady at counter is always kind would definitely recommend. read more

Love the fresh ingredients and homemade items. Excellent Mexican food. Price is good. We'll be back.

Me and my coworkers ordered takeout from here, the place itself is a cute whole in the wall but little seating. I would recommend takeout over eating in the restaurant. The website itself is a little confusing, my coworker was confused on the extra ingredients for the burritos and ended up with a plain chicken and rice burrito. Overall good place but better places in Worcester. read more

A1 spot, A1 family. 10/10 experience every time I go! Once they start making Barria Tacos, ITS OVER FOR EVERY OTHER RESTAURANT!!! read more

This place is soooooo good!! Stumbled upon on a quick trip to Worcester and we were very happy. Moved to MA from CA and even with all the amazing Mexican restaurants in California and Cabo that we have been to this one tops them all. We had tortilla soup, enchiladas and fish tacos. The unique flavors and freshness was a very welcome change!!! Keep up the good work! read more

Sol of Mexico - Pork enchiladas - Mexican Near Me - Worcester, Massachusetts

Not impressed with the kitchen and staff. The staff is not very friendly and apparently they cannot make more than one parties order at a time. Waited over 30 minutes for the meal. Other party ate theirs and left before we even got ours. Plus the other couple had both soup and meals. They said it because everything was made from scratch. The food was good but not great. The size of the entree was decent. The rice and bean sizes were laughable -3oz containers. The queso fresco was not a cheese sauce but rather a dressing. read more

Sol of Mexico delivers. Great food and homely service. It's counter service with a small amount of seating so it may be hard to find seating if you're with a large group. But it's worth it to come in. The food is good. Filling. Veggie tacos and rice and beans. I did not know there would be cheese on the beans as I am dairy free, so something to note. But it was delicious. Definitely worth checking out. read more

First time I came here was about 3 years ago. It was a humble, little corner restaurant with really good tacos. For whatever reason life has, I hadn't since returned until tonight. Quite optimistic about my re-visit, I ordered a chicken burrito with sour cream, no guac available tonight, which was a bit of a bummer because I also like chips and guac. The lady over the phone suggests the pico de gallo instead, which I tend to enjoy, so I chose that. Service is friendly enough but I had to charge my card twice due to cashier forgetting to ring me up for the chips. No coke available either, but understandable, considering they offer Mexican coke. I went with the Mexican Sprite. Now, I'm eating the pico de gallo, which was yummy however, as you can see below, I got a little something extra along with it. Dis-gus-ting. I tried to not let it completely ruin the meal, although paranoid about finding another hair is not how I like to spend mine. It does not help that you cannot even peek into the kitchen if you tried. Just disappointed. I understand the hustle but there's some things you don't let customers deal with. read more

Sol of Mexico - Veggie burrito and guacamole and chips - Mexican Near Me - Worcester, Massachusetts

Pros Great authentic tacos Good prices for good portion sizes Cons 12:00 PM (Noon) opening time is an estimate; plan accordingly. Last two times I've gone ended up NOT going because they weren't open up to 15 minutes after noon. read more

All I can say is get there early, the guac sells out fast and there is a reason for that, it's bangin. It's always made fresh that day as is the salsa and corn tortillas. I purchased one fish taco, one beef taco, an order of guac and home made chips. The fish taco is the best one I have ever eaten, the beef one wasn't bad either but i really wanted another fish one. This is a quaint place no bells and whistles just simple delicious food served by great friendly people. Highly recommend. read more

Visiting from Southern California I have been trying a bunch of local places with the hope of finding a gem. This place is the best of come up with so far. The food is super fresh and the prices are reasonable I ordered a Fish Taco and Pork Burrito and spent only $8 Food was good but could use more hot sauce or salsa read more

I went here for the first time yesterday, and it was a disaster. I couldn't wait to enjoy some fresh tacos. Well unfortunately, that did not happen! The first thing I noticed while waiting is that the microwave had went off. After I had gotten my tacos, that's when I figured out that they microwaved my food. I had gotten two pork and one beef taco. The amount of grease in it was horrible and the beef had a strong distinct taste. The tacos in general were soggy! The meat wasn't even warm or fresh! I didn't even finish the tacos because it wasn't edible. At least now I know not to go there anymore. read more

Best hidden gem in Worcester for Mexican food! Not pricey and quality of food is amazing. Great small business.

Location/parking: Right off of Pleasant street, off street parking. Outdoor seating is two tables outside of the restaurant. Able to sit outside with my dog but there's not a lot of room. Food: We ate a chicken and pork tamale with the red sauce, chips and salsa, and a fish taco. The chicken tamale had a good amount of chicken, but the pork tamale you could barely taste the pork. The red sauce didn't have enough flavor so will try the green sauce next time. The chips were great but the salsa was bland. We asked for some jalapeños and added it to the salsa and that kicked the flavor up. The fish taco was, by far the best thing we ate there. I would eat a dozen of those. The fish was well fried and the sauce on top of the taco had a great flavor and spice. It came on a corn tortilla that was well made. Service: There were two people working at the place and since we were sitting outdoors we had to get our own utensils, napkins, and hot sauce. I think that's intentional though. The place is not a restaurant where there are servers. You order, pick up and pay at the front. Overall: I would try this place again. The fish tacos alone make me want to go back. The tamales were good but not something I would go back for. Outdoor seating is small so if you want to sit outside get there early. For what the place seems to be intended as its a good Mexican restaurant with no frills. read more

A hole in the wall that I want to go back to. I ordered take out from them during this COVID crisis and Unlike Mick Jagger I got satisfaction. From the tamales to the salsa, they give good feels and good vibes. Thank you guys for being open in this time and giving a guy away from home a good night. read more

Amazing Mexican food in Worcester. My wife and I have been twice and we love it. The first time the cook in the back was playing guitar and stopped to make our dinner. It's a little small inside, but check it out read more

Sol of Mexico brings a little bit of Sonora to Worcester, supplying it's residents with not only delicious tacos, but with freshly made tortillas as well. When you walk in you're immediately greeted by the woman who owns the place, who not only answers your questions, and takes your order, but cooks the food and brings it to your table. She's a sweetheart who makes you feel comfortable and at home in the small and spartan space. The food comes out quickly enough, and it's certainly worth the wait to have it made fresh. The beef and pork tacos are good enough, but the veggie and especially the fish are better. The fish is perfectly fried and tender and flaky, splash some Tapatio on it and it's the best fish taco in the city. The refried beans in the veggie taco are smooth and creamy, and the lettuce and scallions add a nice crunch. Again, splash a little Tapatio on it and it's a guilt free bite to eat. If you're on the west side and craving some fresh tortillas or some delicious fish tacos, head on over and dig in at Sol of Mexico. read more

I do not particularly like or order Mexican food, but I tried this restaurant because of the good reviews. I found the food surprisingly delicious and the service excellent. Highly recommend this restaurant. read more

I was so looking forward to the food here, but I never got it. When the driver came to pick up my order, they told him they didn't receive the order. Instead of making it right away, they told me to cancel my order. That's just not good customer service, so I'll go elsewhere next time. read more

I really wanted to like this place but unfortunately if you're getting vegetarian food I'd suggest going elsewhere (Pepe's is a good alternative). I am sure the meat here is great but there was little flavor to the veggie enchiladas, veggie burrito, and veggie taco salad. All of the vegetables were seemingly reheated frozen peas, carrots, green beans, and corn. There was maybe a small scraping of refried beans on the burrito but otherwise no black beans. read more

The restaurant is cute, colorful, and clean. There is indoor seating and outdoor seating upon request. There is a large selection for vegetarians. The service was great and staff was extremely welcoming and friendly. The food was great and inexpensive too. Two burritos and two drinks for $20 ! Delicious and fresh tasting ingredients. Only downside is street parking only (as far as I know). Would definitely return to try more items on the menu and support a local Mexican restaurant. read more

Great authentic Mexican food in Worcester. My wife and I had the enchiladas, tostadas, chips, guacamole, and horchata. All of them were excellent and came out fast. The price isn't bad either and the quality is a cut above your typical northeastern Mexican food. Highly recommend. read more

this place is wonderful! They make amazing, fresh corn tortillas, their guacamole is insanely good....staff is friendly and attentive, store minimal but very clean. This is a great, extremely affordable taqueria. The fish tacos are seriously dirt cheap and really really good too...i think it was 2.50 for a taco...super gem!!!!!! read more

Small place with great food. Open Mon-Wed 11-5 and open till 6 on thursday and friday and closed on sunday. Fish tacos were fantastic and slightly different and $2.00 each. $5.50 for burrito which I need to go back and try. read more

My daughter and I ate lunch at Sol of Mexico today. We shared an order of guacamole and chips. The guacamole with the kind I make with smooth avocado, chunks of tomato and citrus juice and the chips were crisp, light and delicate. We thought they were made in house. I ordered a fish taco and vegetable quesadillas. Both were fresh, appealingly plated and delicious. My daughter ordered chicken enchiladas with mole. They were superb. We each had a traditional Mexican drink. Mine was made with rice and cinnamon and hers with tamarind. Refreshing and tasty. I took a slice of tres leche cake with me and we ate it later. This was real baking, a lovely butter-eggs-flour cake not something from a cake mix which tastes of stale cardboard. Delicious. Primarily a take away place, the restaurant has only three tables. This is authentic Mexican food. Enjoy! I usually scan the other reviews before posting on Yelp but I was exhausted last night and just wanted to get mine out there. The two negative reviews -- particularly the one star review from the guy who said this is not authentic -- made me bristle a bit. I've not seen many Mexican restaurants that offer authentic beverages. Tu Y Yo in Somerville does but To Y Yo is a completely different kind of restaurant. It is a dinner restaurant stressing fine dining. Sol of Mexico is a casual dining, primarily take out place. It is rightly called a taqueria. To criticize this place for not having the one thing this would be patron wanted is ridiculous. I was thrilled to be able to taste three dishes -- the two beverages and the cake -- that I had never had before. To me, that puts Sol of Mexico way above the standard taqueria. read more

Not sure where all the positive comments came from. We went Friday noon, and ordered a chicken fajitas and burrito. Sat there 25 minutes when the guy said they were "working on other orders" (exact words used by the waiter). When the food finally came out, it was just lukewarm. Fajitas tasted really bland. Guacamole can use way more cilantro. Beans are really runny. Rice is the only okay part of the meal, other than the sour cream. I had really high hopes based on the other yelp reviews, but seriously disappointed. read more
