Stewed chicken, rice and beans
Dee W.

Taste! Best food yet on the island. Loved the stewed chicken, rice, beans, salt fish, fried fish, Jonny cake, and cassava! I wish we had more time and found this earlier.

Fried Chicken

I wanted to go to KFC however, my friend said I can eat that when I get back to Brooklyn, NY so he bought me here. The food was good. They have a few options to choose from by looking through the glass and viewing the food presentations. The chicken was good. The stuffing was a little dry. I also had a cup of passion fruit juice which was delicious. The service was quick. It's a nice chill and eat spot. Try 'em

Half chicken and ribs combo.
Kurt S.

I went here last month when I took a vacation to St. Croix and it was a good experience. After a long few hours of rum distillery touring, this was awesome. I ordered the half chicken and ribs combo. It was really good. Nice and moist. It took a long time to go the food though, even though it was already cooked. I would definitely go back here.

Great food, decent prices! I had the Conch and my Wife had the Cheese Burger! They gave us more than enough food and although it was a little slow (As they have the food made to order, it was worth it and the staff and service were great!

This place has excellent food (I got the oxtail) OMG...get there early for specials of the day ..it has a lot of sitting inside and out ..juke box ..bar and everything else ...it's within walking distance for me and I think I'll be eating here everyday ..food came out fast hot and plentiful ...I'm HOOKED and sold

Beef steak

I always enjoyed El Sol. They had very few items on the menu. I gave up the fourth entree was not available. This happened on both visits. The foot traffic has exploded within a few months. I observed that the waitresses were attentive but El Sol should increase staff to accommodate the influx of people. This experience was completely opposite from my last yelp review. I was truly disappointed during both lunch and dinner visit. The fried pork was dry. The stew beef was oversalted. The macaroni was available upon entry into the restaurant. I requested that the macaroni was added to our plates. However, the macaroni sold out when the food was brought to the table. Three people shared one piece of macaroni. Overall, I did not enjoy my food.

Wait time to collect food is ridiculous! Even if you call your order in you still have to wait long.

The 1st half of the group got here before 615, the 2nd half of the group arrived here at 615ish. we…read morejoined the rest of our family who had already placed drinks & food orders. The drinks took over 45 min & a guest from my table had to go get them from the bar himself. The server did not come back to get the rest of the tables food order until 651pm & that's because we had to get her attention. The 1st order of food was brought out at 705pm. There are other tables getting food & drinks faster. The 2nd half of the groups food came out at 745pm. Server never came back to check on us or give us the check. We had to go up to the bar to pay out. 2yrs ago we came here and experienced the same service and food quality. My family likes the taco Tuesday specials but we have yet to have a good experience here. I can assume the tacose were okay but nothing to write home about. The wings & tots were good.

Definitely requires patience. My order was forgotten 25% of the time and had to re-ordered. The…read morerest of the time it arrived...eventually. 15 minutes for a beer and 35 minutes for a burger seems like a long time to me. Jalapeño poppers were excellent. My burger was mediocre. "Would you like cheese on your cheeseburger?" "Yes please, I would like cheese on my cheeseburger." As you might have guessed it came without cheese. It was also overcooked, dry, and came on a dry bun. The pickles, mustard, and mayo (but no cheese) are at the condiment bar on the other side of the restaurant. Staff is running around. The problem seems more like disorganization than disinterest. They are polite but not efficient. Otherwise, lots of TVs. Also, lots of children. A few patrons appearing to be in late teens (legal alcohol consumption age in USVI is 18) who may have been over-served. Good for watching NFL on Sundays. 5 pool tables and a foosball table.

We stumbled upon this local spot after finding out that we were in St Croix during off season and…read moremost places shut down for weeks at a time for maintenance. It was our first night on the island and we were just looking for some good grub and a place to hang for the night. Luckily, this local joint was still open! Though the experience driving to the location felt kind of sketchy (junk yard right outside, some homes looked abandoned around the neighborhood, parking was on a grass patch with a fancy porta-potty behind it, just one guy hanging out in front of a what looked like a trailer converted into a kitchen), this was either going to be disaster OR bleeping delicious. We were directed to order inside the bar and not outside by the trailer... we said cool and made our way in. Remember when I said sketchy? Well... now picture walking up creeky steps, opening the door, to find a stripper pole in the middle of the room, a pool table to the right, and a bar in the far back right corner with an empty dance floor. The bar was full though and the food smelled delicious outside so I turned a blind eye to everything else and took a chance... not expecting much, we ordered some take out food and then sat and waited for it with a couple drinks. To our surprise, this place was so very legit, to say the very least. We got the salmon crispy bites and bbq chicken wings entrees, both with a side of rice&beans, mac and cheese, and salad. The portion sizes were ridiculous for the price, the fish was so fresh we questioned if it was actually fish, the chicken wings were so crispy even though they were smothered in delectable bbq sauce, and we had enough rice and beans to feed a small army. The bartenders were soooo sweet. The girl took her time and explained to us how things on the island worked and suggested some food and activities after serving us up a drink called "Cruzan Confusion." Well, that drink became the one drink I drank the rest of my trip there! Deliciousness in a cup that can certainly get you confused quite quickly if you don't consume with caution! LOL. Overall, food was 10000000% yes, atmosphere could be less chaotic but it seems like that's how the island operates, service was wonderfully exceptional as well. One star was knocked purely because of the beginning atmosphere... which certainly changed when we gave it a chance. Definitely give this place a try!
