This restaurant is a Southeast Staple. The chips and salsa are great, the food is really good, and the ambiance feels like home. We usually eat here two times a month, after church on Sunday's. Probably their busiest day, they can handle large volume of people with ease. Fernando is the best server. Great attitude, always friendly, and very welcoming. read more

Very homie feeling! Warm and comfortable seating area and OMG bakery next door and it's connected to restaurant!' Very welcoming attitude, courteous lady who took our order and even at register. We ordered Tampiqueña and flautas (beef) and horchata, which was so delicious and creamy!! The salsa and chips were fresh!salsa has a tangy savory and spice to it but so delicious. Chips are crunchy and good taste! Now the tampiqueña meat was perfect!! Tender, not over cooked, not dry and savory!!! The rice needed more love, color too light and not much seasoning! But ok.. The flautas were crunchy and meaty!! Full of beef!! Moist and savory, not stingy on the meat!' Same for the rice, not a fan.. The bread next door OMG smelled so good and had so much variety! Not overpriced and bread was soft and delicious read more

Food was good. Gordita was a bit oily but eh non a few napkins can't fix. I will say they reminded me of a "popular" gordita restaurant not far from there. Well when they used to make em this way. You can't go wrong with a torta. Only problem I had and I'm sure it's something they can fix but cook the meat a bit more to get a nice char on it. The agua wasn't overly sweet but it wasn't lacking flavor either. The salsa umm yeah.. the green one I lit out the whole cup in half of my torta and I couldn't even tell it had salsa. I'm a red salsa type and I wish it was better. Would I come back? Yeah. Recommend it? Sure. For $21 I think I got a good amount of food. I mean beats going for yet again a reg plain ole burger. read more

Muy bueno! I had breakfast at Taqueria Del Sol. For my breakfast, I ordered the concha breakfast sandwich. It isn't on the menu, but you have to ask for this. The sandwich was probably one of the best breakfast sandwiches that I've had in ages. The sweet concha contrasts with the ham, cheese, and bacon -- it all goes together perfectly. Yes, I was full fast - but I decided that I would power through. I didn't want to waste a single bite of this paradise. The place is crowded - the place is loud - the place is worth it! This place is OG Houston. If you're from HTown and you haven't been, then you haven't earned your stripes. Taqueria Del Sol is a must! read more

I wish I would've known about this place sooner!! I came here specifically for the bakery and had a very pleasant experience. **Please be mindful that the staff didn't speak fluent English, so I used my little knowledge of Spanish to better communicate with them. If you're not comfortable with this, I suggest you go elsewhere. When you first walk in, you'll see a shelving unit that has bread on top, a shelf filled with metal trays and a bunch of metal tongs. Grab a pair of tongs and a metal tray and use these to grab which pastries you want. Once you're done making your selections, you'll take your tray to the counter where they will bag everything up and then collect payment. When I first walked in I was very confused as to what do, but thankfully the employee working noticed and asked "necesita ayuda?" Then walked me through everything when I responded "sí, por favor". She was very kind and helpful and definitely appreciated my attempts at speaking Spanish to her. The prices here are so reasonable!! I literally spent $24 total on the 20 different things I got (I was picking up a bunch of goodies to take to family in Dallas and was choosing them based on photos sent so I'm not 100% sure what all I walked away with). Also, the employee saw me reaching for a conchas from the bakery display case and told me to get a fresh one from the shelf instead. I ate it immediately after getting into my car and it was still warm!!! And oh so delicious! I will DEFINITELY be back! read more

This is one of my original favorite got to places when I am on the south side or up for a long drive. This is the best Tex-Mex place where you will find some of the best cheese enchiladas. When it comes to their chips and salsa, the salsa is served warm and I literally can just drink it. We always have to get a refill because I go through it like a drink. A Limonada is a must order drink. It is always made fresh not a fountain drink lemonade. Even better there is a bakery next-door to get all your favorite pan dulce. You must try everything at least once or at least do not go home without sweet bread. There are some weekends where they actually have little vendors out front to make it feel like you're at a vendor market in little mexico. read more

This is definitely one of my favorite Mexican food restaurants in Houston. I've been going here since about 2014. The prices are so reasonable. They also open very late, so it's great for a late night grub. My favorite dishes to get from here are the tacos and torta. My favorite meats to get with them are barbacoa or al pastor. This place does get busy pretty fast during peak times, but it's worth it. The complimentary chips and salsa are also really good too! I love how homey and casual the restaurant feels. There's also plenty of parking in the back if you can't get parking on the side. read more

Yes, food is really good. Get the torta extra toasted with extra sour cream. Or the small quesadillas de trompo. Our kids are 4th generation clients. I remember my grandpa having photos of him coming. My parents when they dated and now our kids come. Do they some have bad days, yeah, can waiters be a bit off due to huge amount of clients, yeah. I mean there's not a perfect restaurant. But they do really good. If there is wait time, that ought to tell you it's really good. People don't wait in line for trash business. read more

My family and Taqueria Del Sol go waaaay back. TDS catered my grandparents' 50th wedding anniversary 30+ years ago, one of my sister's quince, and we pop in from time to time when in the area. It's been a while, so after a visit to the Houston Botanic Garden with mi madre, we swung by TDS for some eats. I got the Del Sol Bowl complete with chicken fajita and seasoned veggies over lettuce. The veggies were great! The portion was hefty. The chicken was just overcooked and very, very dry. My mom ordered the chile relleno that didn't have much batter. It was more of a chile covered in soggy batter that was falling off. Major disappointment. Service was prompt, the salsas were hot, and the agua de jamaica was good. I'll go back but only to revisit the breakfast tacos. read more

It's just the best. The service is excellent. The place is always packed with a crowd of families, friend groups, etc. who are very open and welcoming non-Mexicans like myself. My waitresses are always super friendly and helpful. I have dietary restrictions and the staff handles them well. Vegetarians: the nopales (cactus) tacos & the poblano and cheese tacos bring me to tears when I've been away from Houston too long and finally get to be around quality Mexican food. The horchata is simple and tasty. The food is cheap, the chips are fresh (and free), the salsa is spicey (and free), and *chef's kiss*. The atmosphere: the place is always busy & lively. The murals and general vibes showcase both indigenous and newer aspects of Mexican culture with a light blend of Houston culture. There's a panderia (bakery) attached to this place and the restaurant itself also sells lucas (tamarind candy) and other classic packaged snacks if you end up wanting a lil something for the drive home. read more

Food is decent, not really my cup of tea. Their flour tortillas are tiny. Their fajitas are kind of chewy. It's okay.

SERVICE SERVICE SERVICE, not one not two, but 4 different staff checked on my party of Six as we were patronizing the restaurant. The salasa has some kick to it and the chips are nice and warm when they arrive at your table. The drinks are huge, luckily it's not a lot of dead time in between getting drinks, ordering, and kitchen to plate on the table. There is additional parking in the back, if you are driving by and think it's only a small piece of parking you will miss out on this gem, you can't miss the gigantic yellow building full of tasty goodness. read more

It had a long time visiting this restaurant but it is definitely not like it used to be. I went with the Quesadilla plate and was very disappointed. Hardly any cheese and the carne asada had no flavor. Rice and beans had no flavor and seemed to have come from a can. Actually canned refried has better flavor. My wife had the Carne Asada plate mixed. The chicken was super dry and tasted old or freezer burned. The picture on the menu is what it used to look like but definitely doesn't represent what you actually get. On the plus side, the Bakery is still good. It was not worth the wait of 45 minutes to be seated read more

1st time going today and Staff is friendly, Service was good, Food was great, & everything that I saw people around me eating looked good too. Definitely coming back to try the rest of menu. What I had today was the #5 Tampiquena. Oh & don't forget the bakery, small selection but fresh & good stuff on your way out. read more

Best Mexican food in Houston hands down. Food was amazing. Service was wonderful. And the atmosphere is authentic. Perfect place to have dinner. read more

Very authentic! They speak mostly Spanish! Portions are reasonably large. Hole in the wall place great for late night. If you're really hungry try the California burrito! read more

Food was tasty and delicious, portions were great But like some of other Yelpers mentioned, customer service is thumbs down Be sure to place an order in-person vs telephone so it doesn't get misunderstood (I said burrito, they were taco, quantity was almost misunderstood) It's also super crowded + popular so you may be waiting a bit for an in-person order read more

Love this place, been going here since the 80's. I usually get machacado plate and coffee for breakfast. Lunch or dinner, I have ordered quesadilla plate my favorite. They have good Gorditas and fajitas. Service is fast. Always a good vibe. Many Houston locals, sometimes celebrities too. After we eat, I go to their panadería next door for pan Dulce. They have pics of celebs that have visited in the past behind the counter. read more

Came here for dinner with a friend. Before coming I'd searched yelp and decided I would try the gorditas tampiqueñas but I also ordered the chicken flautas so I could taste one more thing. Both were good-I needed a to-go box and each meal reheated and tasted good days later. Servers were really nice and expedient. The place was busy but it didn't feel too noisy or crowded-definitely a place to come and catch up and relax. read more

Nice authentic Mexican restaurant in the area. When you walk in the smell of all their sweet freshly baked goodies welcome you on arrival - I wanted to try them all!:D But I came with discipline and ordered the baracho beans and two breakfast tacos made the way you like it. I also appreciated that they offered freshly squeezed OJ too, in which i had to - it cold & flu season. I must say everything was a delight. Looks like a popular spot with the locals as the flow was pretty steady, but not crowded. My meal was good and hit the spot. Surprisingly in this case I liked the salsa served with the tortilla chips more than the sauce served with the tacos, I almost wish I took some to go - maybe next time. But I was in & out in no time. I'd definitely come back when in the area. read more

This is a small family-owned authentic Mexican restaurant near Houston Hobby Airport. The service by Fernando was excellent and the food was good. Having lived in both Harris and Fort Bend counties for many years, this is one place that feels like home! I had the enchiladas; picadillo, shredded beef, and shredded chicken. The platters come with rice and refried beans with your choice of red or green salsa. The others had similar dishes with flautas and tacos. It was so nice to get off the plane hungry and head right over to eat comfort food. While there's room for improvement on the seasoning, I recommend them. read more

I used to come here all the time back in the day with my bestie to pick up some burritos, tortas, etc, and play a quick game of Ms. Pacman on the arcade machine. I hadn't been here in over 15 years. Let me just say, the food, the atmosphere, the friendly service is still the same. Brought the family for lunch and ordered a torta and gordita de carne asada. Everything was hot ,fresh, crispy, and delicious. I also ordered a taco de barbacoa and one de al pastor(pork). Tacos were on point. I am so glad I chose to come here instead of that other popular chain mexican restaurant that rhymes with Barandas...lol. Come to Taqueria Del Sol and experience one of Houstons OG mexican restaurants that still delivers that classic Taqueria from the 90s experience with the flavors to back it up. read more

One of the more popular mexican food establishment in Houston. After seeing all the good reviews, i decided to try this place out with my friend. When I came around 1 pm ish, it was not that busy. The ambience and vibe were pretty nice, nice seatings too. On to the food, I ordered 1 Al pastor taco and 1 Chicha verde Taco, and 1 Asada Carne Burrito. OMG the burrito was really huge! I think its enough to share for 2 people... the taste was good too but i felt like the Tacos meat were a bit dry, maybe cooked for a lil bit too long, but overall pretty good. Server was attentive and nice. Price was affordable. Overall, worth it and you should go try this place... Food 7/10 Place 7.5/10 Service 8/10 Price 8/10 read more

I love that they have free chips and salsa. I ordered beef and pastor tacos and I enjoyed both of them. I also ordered chicken enchilada where I finished including the beans. The price is really reasonable and the service is really great and servers are friendly. I'll come back but I will limit my orders to tacos to enjoy every meat options. read more

This is my first time back in years and it's still the same great place where you are taken care of. Food is still great and the pineapple drink is refreshing. Staff is very attentive. Service is quick and it stays busy here. The ambiance is casual and it's somewhat loud. There is plenty of parking here as well. We had fajita, chicharrón and barbacoa tacos. All were very good and filled just right but they are pricier than others. The Gordita was thin but it had meat and cheese. These too were higher than other places especially if you order fajita meat. The only downside was that prices on the menu did not match what we were charged as you can see on my receipt. They could have just said prices had gone up from their menu posted. This is the only reason I only gave 4 stars. read more
