Have been here a few times now & this is authentic Mexican food!!! Love the street tacos the meat is always tender & the beans so flavorful. Server is very attentive & nothing like small family owned spot. read more

I can't comment on the food since I didn't get any. Service was slow from the beginning. I waited to be waited on, waited for iced tea, waited to order meal, (meantime, chips were crispy and salsa was tasty), then waited and waited while one couple that had arrived after me and then a second late-arriving couple were served their meals, then I left. Both appeared to be regular customers. but my one crispy taco? Really? In my 40 minutes there, four other meals were served promptly. I felt like regulars got good service but newcomers like me were not worth much effort. read more

Excellent food, service, and ambience. The puffy tacos and enchiladas were great. Highly recommended.

Food was very good, great service and order was ready and correct within a short amount of time.

Loved the chalupa, puffy tacos and Gordita! Nice atmosphere and friendly service.definitely recommend this place.

Small quaint little restaurant with friendly service. Started with very good chips/salsa. Based on reviews I ordered the burger, I'd consider it better than the average fast food though not craft quality or a Chris Madrids. My only complaint would be the fries served overly greasy and no crisp. Overall pretty good if you're craving a burger, though unusual for Mexican restaurant, but I'd rate the burger better than their Mexican cuisine! read more

El Sol De Mexico - Entrance - Mexican Near Me - Kerrville, Texas

Our waitress was not friendly and had no desire to make us feel welcome. Said they did not have coffee but if they did it would be instant [?]. Took our order and brought food. We never saw her again. No tea refill, no offer of more chips, no offer of dessert, no bussing of table, and never brought us a check. On the plus side the room is beautiful and the food was well prepared. This place is not cheap, you'd think a professional waitstaff would be a priority.....it isn't. read more

It was our first time here. I ordered chicken puffy taco but they brought me beef which I ended up eating because the server didn't come back. My husband ordered crunchy tacos with no tomatoes, but they had tomatoes. He tried to remove them but 90% of the cheese came off with them. It was decent but not sure we'll be back. Server was slow and good just ok. read more

I don't know what is different about their chips, but their chips and salsa are the best! I wish I had just ordered quac and queso and more chips for dinner! They have pretty decent puffy tacos, but I wish the meat was browned and flavored more. Overall, good service and good food. I'll be back for the chips! read more

This place is a 'must eat at' when in Kerrville. Definitely the best chips and salsa and even better are the puffy tacos. If you don't stop, you're loss! read more

El Sol De Mexico - Puffy taco plate. - Mexican Near Me - Kerrville, Texas

Waitress brought the wrong drinks. But the food was good. Not great but good. Pretty much like every Mexican restaurant in town. Not going out of my way to return unless I'm driving by and really hungry. read more

So I read some reviews and surprised that people mentioned how great their burger was. I decided to try it and agree it's delicious! I got the deluxe burger which had guacamole, bacon and cheese. It was so well prepared, with fresh toppings, savory, and large. Their fries were also so delicious. I had a margarita one the rocks. It was great, made with a strong pour and minimal ice. They have a nice outdoor area to enjoy when temperatures are right. read more

Our server was nothing short of amazing we had a girl with piercings and she was so nice to me and my wife and her service was top notch. She was attentive without being overbearing, had great menu recommendations, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the meal And the food WOW it is very filling! you won't be disappointed with it in terms of quality we had the enchiladas and the crispy tacos and it was all so good! We'll definitely be back soon, and I hope we get her again! Highly recommend both the food and the stellar service! read more

Entrees were amazing (quesadilla and chile relleno) as was salsa for chips. Queso dip seemed store- bought, mediocre. Tortillas seemed homemade, tasty. All ingredients were fresh. Service fast. read more

The service was awesome! The waiter was very attentive , patient and friendly! The restaurant caught me by surprise because when I looked at the pictures the restaurant looked a lot bigger ... lol but it has been one of the best Mexican food places I have had since we moved to Texas two years ago!my husband and I order a dish called un poquito de todo which means a little bit of everything ! A beef tostada , two enchiladas and puffy taco, rice and beans ! My favorite was the rice, beans and the puffy tacos! One of my daughters had flautas and she absolutely loved them! I would definitely come again! read more

First .. food was good, Stop by for my lunch break and had the enchilada plate that was the plate of the day. Was the first in the restaurant and it almost took 25 minutes to get my plate. $15 for a two enchilada plate also they charge my credit card twice so with tip I ended up paying like $36.00. I went back and the told me to wait a couple days but I'm from San Antonio so it's my loss I guess. My double charge never came off read more

I haven't had food poisoning this bad in years the salsa was rancid and had botulism in it

Great food and service. The homemade chip and salsa are some of the best I've ever had!

We decided to try this little place as we were looking for somewhere not too crowded with a patio. While the service was good, you can't make a place work without good food. I'm just going to be blunt. Not sure where people have been eating before to place this in the "must eat here" category, but you need to expand your horizons. First off, I've never had such a bad frozen margarita like I had here. It tasted like very watery strawberry water. I took both back. Their solution was to load one up with extra tequila and sweet & sour. That just made that one worse. They remade the second one, and as I watched, I realized, they had no clue how to properly make a frozen strawberry margarita. Kinda hard to mess these up. And when you ask for a Corona, dressed, you don't expect it to come back with chili salt on it. Now on to the food - the only thing good was the salsa and guacamole. None of our food had any seasoning on it whatsoever. Bland is too nice of a word to use. Not sure about the Chili Relleno. It was covered in what appeared to be pancake batter. My beef fajitas had no taste to them. Son's puffy tacos....again no flavor. There are many other Mexican Food places in Kerrville, and they are by far way better. I may be a bit jaded, as I live in a bigger city known for great Tex Mex. Really tried to like this place. Paid the bill, left the food and went to a better place closer to Ingram. Try at you own risk. read more

Located down-river from the square on Water Steeet, El Sol de Mexico is a great find for this Fresericksburg resident. The salsa is good (pico de gallo style) and the plates are thoughtfully prepared. The staples (e.g. rice, beans, beef tacos, enchiladas) are all of good quality. They serve cerveza and the fresh brewed iced tea is above average. Service is excellent and despite a bit of divyness (in a good way), the restaurant is very clean. Highly Recomended! read more

Stopped here for a quick lunch. Due to dietary restrictions we needed something as close to vegetarian as possible. They were very accommodating. We were able to modify the fajita plate for two by adding potatoes, carrots, and zucchini. The handmade corn tortillas were amazing. The service was fast and friendly. Will definitely come back when we drive through Kerrville again. read more

Best Mexican cuisine in Kerrville! Owner is a really nice guy, wife does most of the cooking! Haven't ever ordered something and been even slightly disappointed! Everything is SOO good!!! read more

Actual rating: 3.5 This little place has had many incarnations over the years--a gas station, a garage, a coffee shop and another Mexican restaurant. I've driven by it a number of times over the years so it was time to try it. As tiny as the place is, it didn't feel all that cramped inside; the downside was that my friend and I could hardly hear each other across the table and no one in the place was speaking particularly loud. Sometimes acoustics are just about impossible to fix and that's the case here. First came the usual tortilla chips and salsa. Neither were run-of-the-mill. Although not spicy hot, the salsa had a crisp, clean, balanced flavor; had it been thicker it would be closest to a salsa cruda. The chips were room temperature but were not greasy and had a bold corn flavor; they were a bit thicker than most. My friend and I both ordered the "Poquito de Todo"--a little of everything--plate. Two cheese enchiladas with gravy, a puffy beef taco, a chalupa with beans and piccadillo, and for sides, rice and refried beans. Of everything on the plate, the chalupa stood out. It had nice balance between the beans and piccadillo, just enough lettuce without being intrusive. There was the typical grated cheddar cheese but bonus points awarded for a sprinkling of cojita cheese which made a huge difference. The puffy taco looked great but sadly was just so-so. The piccadillo was lacking flavor and the tortilla had evidently been fried beforehand as it was cool to the touch and a bit tough. Rice and beans were standard issue as were the enchiladas although the gravy was quite tasty. The service was very friendly but with only the owner/manager as waiter, service suffered when the place began to fill. As for our table, we had no complaints. read more

This place doesn't suck in the sense it's offensive or anything but wow. I'll start off with the staff (the 2 FOH running the place). Both of them were really nice. The salsa as mentioned was delicious and after that, it kind of ended there. Our waiter was also the bartender and I think maybe his 40-ish-old son was the cashier. On drinks, my wife got a bloody Mary and said she liked it. I had the absolute worst margarita I've ever had in my life at the place. Made in a blender by someone that doesn't know how to make one in a blender (most restaurants have a machine even if it's small to not blend ice into a drink over freezing the actual drink). It tasted like country-time lemonade blended with some cheap tequila. First time I have ever not finished a margarita and I've made a few bad ones myself at home, LOL. I was already drunk though when I made a lousy one. The food was super mediocre. No seasoning and just super bland. I think this is a place the older crowd goes to because they don't like spice in their food. Basically, a senior citizen hangout run by senior citizens. Full bar though and if I had gotten there before the table next to me ordered a double Crown and coke, I might have enjoyed it more. We took over half of our plates back to our place, not sure if we are going to eat the leftovers. There are too many great Mexican restaurants in Kerrville, this is just not one of them. You try a new place and learn. I'll end it with this place is quaint in an old-timey small-town restaurant kind of way and they had good music playing. Chips and salsa are fantastic and this would probably be good to get some drinks except for crap margaritas and some nachos or something. I can tell you it's not crowded on a Friday night and kind of intimate. I hate giving bad reviews but know before you go. read more

This is a small restaurant but not small on taste!! This is true old world Mexican flavor. The service was excellent. I highly recommend eating here It has been years since I have had "true" Mexican food. Don't let this one pass you buy read more

They actually have homemade chips and the salsa is to die for! Service is prompt and the margaritas are the bomb! Tonight we tried the Chile Rellenos and I have to say they were the best I've ever had! But I also love their puffy tacos and enchiladas! It's a family owned business and it shows. read more

Heard good things about this place. My friend said it was the best salsa in the area. She was right! Excellent flavored salsa with the perfect warmth--not too hot with fresh cilantro in it. Very homemade tasting. Came with excellent fresh chips. I ordered the mini tacos al pastor. Everything came out promptly. My tacos had a nice flavor, great accompaniments and the refried bean side was excellent. Our waiter was pleasant and just the right amount of attentive. The decor was charming. It's a rather small restaurant and that added to the charm. (Fyi They are closed Sundays & Mondays.) I was very pleased with our experience and I can't wait to eat there again! read more

Food was excellent and authentic. People are super sweet! Loved the puffy tacos and chips and salsa!

Food was good but adding 6% to the tab for using a credit card was not cool. No more for me.

First off, what restaurants charge for extra chips & an empty plate for sharing?! ($2 for extra chips, $5.99 for sharing plate). The chips were baked, and the salsa was more liquidy than other tex-mex restaurants, but it was still pretty good. My boyfriend and I ordered small guacamole bowl and tacos al pastor. Guacamole bowl: 3/5, it was pretty average. Guac with the regular pico, nothing really stood out. Tacos al pastor: 4/5, these are 4 pork tacos on corn tortillas. It comes with cilantro, grilled and raw white onions, and guac. The pork is seasoned very well. Ask for limes to put on the tacos! This plate was $7.99, not too pricy for the amount of food you receive. We were stopping by while driving through Kerrville. Overall it was a pleasant meal - would recommend if you're craving tacos in this area! read more

El Sol De Mexico - #30: tacos al pastor. - Mexican Near Me - Kerrville, Texas

Let me start by saying we had a large party (14) people and we arrived about 45 minutes before they closed. But there were only 3 other tables being serviced at the time. They quickly put together several tables and made room for us. We sat there at least 15 minutes before chips & salsa were brought out and we did ask for them right away. They don't serve Queso, which was a disappointment. BUT I was told by someone in the party that a "Authentic" Mexican restaurant doesn't serve Queso... so I happily anticipated the delicious food that should be coming. We ordered a guacamole was was almost $8, I think. It came in a big bowl - but was "spread" out along the sides and there was hardly enough to make it a small bowl. It was only avocado and tomato, no onions, jalapeños, salt|pepper or lemon. Very disappointing. The tortillas are homemade and delicious. The food was just ok - definitely not something to write home about. They made my daughters- soft shredded chicken tacos wrong - 2 times!! It wasn't hard - 2 soft flour tacos - shredded chicken only - nothing else in them and double rice. 1st attempt hard shell corn tortillas with ground beef lettuce tomato and cheese - rice & beans. BACK. 2nd - hard shell corn tortillas with carne asada - no veggies - rice only. BACK. 3rd attempt - was right! The chicken was very bland - she said it had no flavor at all and the meat was tough. But it shouldn't have been that hard!! My enchiladas were fine - beef was better than the cheese. Rice was tasty and the refried beans tasted like they came from a can. The charro beans were good according to my husband. read more

Wow. This place was amazing. We are from Houston, where Mexican food is a dime a dozen. This place blew all of them out of the water. There was nothing super special, but everything was authentic, prepared fresh, served with a sense of humbleness, and consistently good. We will certainly return next time we are in the area. #PuffyTacosForTheWin read more

Decided to try this place while visiting family in Comfort and they recommended this "hole in the wall". First - Best tasting salsa I have EVER had!! Actually spicy for a change and homemade. Guacamole was very good especially for the price!! Homemade tamales are a must try!! The chicken fajitas, enchiladas, and crispy beef taco were also delicious. Customer service was above and beyond!! Definitely give this place a try if your ever in the area. read more

I came here with my family; the chips and salsa came out immediately, and the salsa was fresh and delicious. We had a large order of guacamole, which was tasty and generous. I got puffy tacos and a tamale. The tacos were pretty good, spicier meat would have been even better, but there was salsa for that. The beans were exceptionally good, well seasoned and creamy. I'm not from here, but everyone agreed it was better than the place my brother had been going to. We'll be back. read more

My friends and I were pleasantly surprised by the wonderful food at El Sol de Mexico. Everything was absolutely fresh and delicious. They have wonderful puffy tacos and the best cheese enchiladas I've ever eaten. Their chips are fresh made and the salsa was divine. The mini tacos and refried beans were also great. Don't waste your time at a chain Mexican restaurant when you can get fresh made-to-order food at El Sol de Mexico. *They have outside seating, too! read more

yelped this place and saw all the stars. Place was off the beaten path, and the prices were very reasonable - family owned. I do have to say, as far as selection and taste of food, I definitely would not rate it a 5 star, although it was pretty good. I supposed we're just so spoiled with authentic Mexican from not only South Cali, but from mainland Mexico as well. Listen, it's not bad though. I will say, the tamales are definitely home made, moist, and very delicious. Better than most. Hospitality was definitely family! what would have made it a 5 star was a bit more authenticity (just my opinion). Perhaps some tacos de sesos, o lengua, o tripas, o tacos pescados fresca - and maybe more selection on salsa - como salsa verde picante, and the like. Bottom line: good deal for an afternoon lunch. read more

Won't go back! Food was good and service was great, but when you are going to charge me extra for another basket of chips and/or another salsa when I just spent 6.50 for a bowl of guacamole to go with my chips... The reason they are giving is because it's homemade. Please!!! Most of the Mexican restaurants in town has homemade salsa and chips. To top it off, when we were about to leave the owner came buy and was talking with us and complaining about another restaurant that was nickel and dimming. The irony. I'll pass. read more
