A super authentic, hole-in-the-wall spot for Mexican food in West Jefferson!…read more I wanted four tacos- 2 al pastor, 2 campechanos- but something must have gotten lost in translation bc I received all al pastor. Honestly, not a big deal bc it was delicious haha; I especially loved the contrast of the pineapple and fatty pork (also comes with cilantro, onions & lime). If you get a full order (4 tacos), the waiter informed me that you can only get 2 different kinds (not specified on the menu). Also got an horchata, which was perfectly sweet, cinnamon-y, and refreshing. The ambiance is good with booth seating. Service was friendly, but wait time (both for getting seated/orders taken and receiving the food) and attention (getting utensils, water refilled) could be improved, but this could have been due to the lunch rush. Lots of parking in the adjacent lot. 8.5/10 would recommend!

The clientele gives you confidence the food is authentic. Servers are Hispanic and very sweet. They ask regularly how things are. We left having an increased confidence in the food scene here! Quirky spot parking on the side. Very small but worth the visit!

Plaza Del Sol is in a strip mall/shopping center, and it's fairly unassuming from the outside…read more Inside is full of vibrant colors and murals. The service was quick and so chatty. There was always someone within three paces of our table, and the food came out so quickly. Chips, salsa and bean dip showed up (all warm and tasty). We ordered waters, tea, and a Dos Equis ambar and then took a look at the menu. As is usual with a Mexican restaurant, there are so, so many options. This menu had many of the regular options that people are familiar with, but there were a lot of other choices as well. I usually try to order something unique to the restaurant if I can. My only disappointment was I didn't see tamales or chile rellenos as an option. In the end I asked the waiter what he thought was the best dish, and then I ordered that. Unfortunately, I don't know what the "name" of it was on the menu. It was a half rack of baby-back ribs on a salad bed with a red sauce over top. The sauce was not like an enchilada or mole. I would say it was more akin to a thin salsa. The ribs were slow cooked and so tender. They tasted nothing like traditional american ribs but were really good. My dish came with beans and spanish rice. The beans were typical, kinda soupy with cheese on top. Nothing "extra" in either direction. The rice was pale, but the flavor was top notch. My wife ordered a fajita plate which had a bit of everything on it, steak, shrimp, chicken, etc. Her meal came with beans and a typical mexican salad. The fajita filling was excellent! Both meals came with hot tortillas to aid in the scooping and general enjoyment. I would definitely come back to this place.

The Mexican waitress messed up my order, as I wanted 3 Tacos & 1 enchilada but I got a plate of enchiladas with green verde sauce. The refried beans were ice cold and the rice was col. Normally I would have sent them back, but all I wanted was one enchilada so I kept my mouth shut. The Tacos were totally without taste, where are the spices? I have to say it was my worst lunch in many years, no exaggeration! I was going to give two stars but I need to tell you to avoid this place like most patrons in the know, Sorry

While waiting between appointments, we used Yelp to find spot for a late lunch. With a rating of 4+…read morestars, we gave it a try. The restaurant is very close to the highway, just enough to park and leave. Building isn't the best looking, needs update and more curb appeal. We were seated immediately in the back half of the establishment. Interior is a Mexican theme if course. Music is playing, almost to loud for conversations. Music sounds like the speakers are very inexpensive. The windows were open for a nice breeze but the window screens are ripped, torn, not attached which allows nature to also enjoy the food. The young girl serving didn't speak English well, when asked a question, she had to get another lady to answer. She did check on us, just once during our meal but did refill our drinks and offered a takeout container. The food was good. We ordered the tortas milanese with chicken and ACP chicken. The sandwich was huge and the ACP was a big plate full. IF we order again, it will be takeout or delivery.

First off, go to Los Arcorisis in Boone. They don't screw up your order, and it's great!…read more So I called in a to-go meal at 2 PM. The woman on the phone spoke broken English (which only makes sense considering the current state of our border to the south). I ordered the lunch fajitas. I was specific about beef, and I specifically said Carne Asada. After I picked up my order, I had a few phone calls come in, so I did not witness my food until about 45 minutes later. The only part of the order that they got right was my small side of guacamole. Other than that, they completely botched the order! WTF?!?Mind you by the way, when I entered the restaurant, it was completely dead, aka EMPTY. There was absolutely zero reason for the kitchen to "F" this up. The only reason I gave two stars is because the food looks OK. I have not even tasted it yet. Oh yeah, they forgot the rice too! Seriously?!?!? I doubt this will occur, but TO THE OWNERS... you guys should have kept the original restaurant you had before this. Foggy Rock it was called?? It was great! The appetizer trout tar tar, or whatever it's called was amazing! Sucks that's gone now. Boone/BR already has enough quality Hispanic restaurants. Cut your losses and let this one go.
