We're just some road-weary guys rollin' out of town. That was the thinking, anyway. This was on the opening leg from PA to Nashville. Yeah, we drove for whatever reason. But hey, road trips are fun, and trying food from places you'll most likely never see again is a bit of nostalgia tossed with whimsy. Like back in the 60s when you'd drive halfway across the country with the family, stopping in a different diner the entire way there. Cafe del Sol is a regional chain with six locations. You'll find nachos, pizza, paninis, tacos, and wraps. This is an overused trope, but there really is something for everyone here. Kind of reminds me a bit of the Ground Round back in the day. You could get anything from fajitas to chicken parmesan. For this stop, we got a little bit of everything. Some nachos to start (that never come with enough salsa/sour cream), a pizza, panini, and wrap. Nachos had a pretty decent layer of toppings. Invariably some nachos at the bottom get missed and you get a bed of plain, boring chips, but it really wasn't the case here. There was a good even spread that maximized the area of the large serving plate. This ensured nice, even distribution. And they didn't skimp on the toppings, either. Just need more than a single ramekin each of salsa and sour cream. Their pizza is pretty on point. Lots of hot, gooey cheese with serious stretch factor. The Meat Lover's pie lived up to its name. Could hardly see the cheese underneath the meaty goodness on top. Crust was nice a crispy, too. And this place claims to have its own brick oven on the website (we were sat too far from the kitchen area to see), so might as well take advantage of it. I suppose you really shouldn't be serving pizza if you don't have one. That'd be pretty bold of you in this day in age. An age of artesian brick oven pizzerias. Now here's where things start to go a bit downhill. I got this Caesar Wrap. It's grilled chicken. Comes with fries. But they, um, grilled it? I'm not sure if they were supposed to toss it on the panini press first. My friend ordered a panini, so maybe they got a little panini-press happy back there. I don't mind a grilled wrap, I guess, but this had Caesar-soaked lettuce inside. So after it came off the grill, I was forced to take bite after bite of warm, slimy, gross lettuce. That really is one of the worst textures you'd want in your mouth. The classic crunch you get from biting into romaine was completely absent. I remember one episode of Kitchen Nightmares where one of the restaurants was serving a grilled Caesar salad, Gordon ordered it, and yeah, sure enough out comes this giant grilled piece of lettuce. Gordon can't believe it, and rightfully so it seems. Lastly, just kind of a minor thing, but the fries were very meh. Decently seasoned, but soaked in grease and mushy. They had absorbed so much grease sitting there, they had become engorged with oil. It was seeping out the edges. You could wring it like a towel. Crisp fries are the way to go, and crisp these were not. All in all an experience as varied as the menu. Everything is going to be all over the place, from menu offerings to quality. Perfectly fine destination for a quick workday lunch or casual night out. Or when you and your mates are passing on through on their way to the America's heartland for a week of fun activities.
We met up with a friend here for a lunch break after driving down Rt 81. Our friend had already been seated when we arrived. Our server was attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. We had nachos as an appetizer. We had salads and sandwiches for our meal. My salad was very fresh and there was plenty of dressing on the side. The fries were very good and the portion was large. It was a clean, comfortable cafe.
I can't speak about the ambiance since I got this to go. But this place easily has the best food selection in the area. We tried the Korean BBQ bowl, chimichurri tacos, bao bun sliders, gyro, and the fried, and mozza Luna. The Maso Luna even delivered was crispy and hot. The bao buns were phenomenal. Honestly all around recommend ordering from here. Food is great and service was quick.
From beginning to end the entire time pent at Cafe Del Sol was very nice. When we arrived we were not sure off seating so they pushed two tables together for us. Drinks arrived at the table quite nicely along with the Bao Sliders. The Korean Pork BBQ sliders were very flavorful and presented quite nice. Moving on to our entrees we ordered the Gyro with chips and the house jalapeño ranch, Black and Bleu Steak Salad, Shrimp and Chorizo Bowl, Prime Rib Panini and the Chicken Club. The Gyro was stuffed to perfection, loaded and wrapped in a light dough almost similar to the Bao slider. Chips were spot on and served up with the delicious homemade jalapeño ranch dressing. The Steak and Bleu salad was topped with a creamy mouthwatering Bleu cheese dressing and loaded with tender bites of steak. The Prime Rib panini was super tender and sliced nice and thin to accent the tender cooking. The fries served up with the sandwiches were also fresh and not over salted which often occurs these days. The center of the plate Shrimp and Chorizo bowl was loaded with a good amount of shrimp and chorizo but could have used a bit more shrimp and about 1/3 less rice, as there was way too much starch to protein ratio in the bowl. The grilled chicken club panini had flavorful bacon, and was equally served up with an excellent batch of fries. All entrees were hot, fresh and flavorful and brought out at the same time. As for desserts we ordered Cannoli which were beautifully presented filled with Chocolate chips and cream. Tiramisu was scrumptiousness with espresso soaked ladyfingers served up with mascarpone and cocoa powder. Lastly the Strawberry Tres Leches finished out the order and was as quickly polished off as the rest. The sponge soaked cake was melt in your mouth goodness with whipped cream and fresh strawberries. The atmosphere was nice, the level of sound not to intense and the food network was playing on TV. Excellent night out with the family and will certainly be dining here again and again.
Nice spot for a lunch or a quick dinner. Casual dining, quick friendly service, clean and casual environment, good portion value. Our meal was good, decent flavors, nice portions, though nothing really stood out. What we ate: BAO SLIDERS: korean bbq pork | cucumber | asian slaw | scallion | gochujang mayo | sesame | cilantro | steamed bao buns TOMATO GOUDA BISQUE: roasted red peppers & tomato | gouda | spices | cream BLACK & BLEU STEAK: romaine | baby kale & arugula | heirloom tomatoes | red onion | organic egg | blackened tenderloin tips | gorgonzola | applewood bacon | bleu cheese dressing CANNOLI: Two crunchy pastry shells dipped in chocolate and filled with chocolate chips & cream. My rating rationale +1 Service +.5 Food~Taste/flavor/quality +1 Presentation +1 Atmosphere/vibe +1 Value read more

Ok 1/5 is harsh but this panini was really gross. I don't know who made this "pesto" sauce but it's just mayo with a little bit of Italian seasoning. If you love mayo then you will enjoy this. I don't like mayo... This isn't pesto. This is not what I ordered. I have ordered this panini dozens of times over the years. This is not what they normally look or taste like. read more

This restaurant is American-Mexican with a menu consisting of everything from tacos to pizzas to Cubans. We stopped in to quickly grab lunch before work and were seated immediately. The restaurant does have table service. I ordered the lunch special, which lets you pick 3 things from a list for $10.99. I got the Cuban, red rock bisque, and the sweet potato fries. The food came out quickly and the portions were decent for lunch. Everything tasted fresh and was flavorful. Was it the best Cuban I've ever had? No. Did it do the job? Yes. Decent price for decent food. read more

The food was great. We both enjoyed a soup: the tomato bisque was thick and zesty, great paired with a glass of Cabernet Sauvignon; the Red Rock Bisque was flavorful and paired nicely with the Moscato. Lots of seafood flavor, but not fishy. Thick, creamy soup. We each ordered an entrée, which came with a salad. Salads are a good size. The honey mustard dressing was very tasty. For entrées, we had the Pasta Del Sol and the Parma Pasta. Both entrées had large chunks of chicken in an ample amounts. The Pasta Del Sol had plenty of portobellos, but was light on the bacon and spinach. The roasted red pepper and tomato cream sauce had a nice flavor. The Parma Pasta was very tasty. We would order all of the above again. The service, well good, was too quick between courses. I had hardly finished my soup, when the salad arrived. And the entrée arrived only a few minutes after that. Three courses in front of me at the same time. This is a "kitchen issue". The waitress had only been at the restaurant for a week and a half, so we will cut her some slack on some other service issues. It won't keep us from coming back. read more
