First time stopping in the food was amazing and got customer service and friendly people

The empanada taco didn't disappoint! Service was nice and friendly , the man behind the counter, had a lot of patience and explaining us the menu. The aqua Fresca was good. I had a pineapple mango flavor. This place was small/cozy and actually quite busy for lunch. I would like to try the other location some day . Parking could be challenging; we literally had people parking behind us just so they can pick up the food but overall a good experience. I just wish there was a little bit more pico de gallo and maybe sour cream on the side. read more

El sol deli has become my new go to place for comfort food. I would give it 10/5 stars ... it's that good!! This cozy shop serves some authentic, fresh and absolutely delicious food. The service is top tier and quick. Vegetarians they got you covered, they can make anything vegetarian although it's not listed on the menu... just ask. The price point is reasonable. They are home to "The empanada taco" and it is to die for. Served warm and crispy ... you're sure to sigh with every bite. To me, the tortilla is what defines a great taco, it's fresh soft and homemade. I have not yet had anything that I dislike here. And don't forget to try desserts next door while you're here. It's crazy how often I go... it's getting too addictive. read more

Amazing empanada tacos! Love the small, family owned feel! The staff were so kind and deconstructed the tacos so I could take one home & it wouldn't get soggy. Highly recommend! read more

El Sol Deli - Beef empanada taco - Delis Near Me - Manchester, Connecticut

I would def return, I rated it a 3 star due to the fact I was not a fan of the steak empanadas. The chicken empanada was def tastes better and 4 stars. The steak empanada did not taste a great as the chicken. There was too much juice and it broke through the empanada shell for me. The sauce provided was good and went down with the empanada tacos. The homemade Fresca wasn't all that either and you can't go wrong with the pineapple soda. I've been wanting to come here for a while and I went during the week when they opened; it wasn't too busy. Service was good and the worker was nice. I'll be back! read more

I tried El Sol Deli for the first time today takeout. I had the beef Quesadilla and a chorizo taco. The taco was very good and packed with sausage and onions. I just wish it was a little bigger. The Quesadilla was very tasty and filling. My only criticism is that it was kind of greasy, I will try it again though. read more

Ok it's not a deli in the traditional sense but man, this place is a home run in every other sense. It's a quick serve place that dishes up some fantastic tacos and burritos. We loved the empanada tacos but the burrito is a star too. Chock full and just a great mix of flavors. Friendly service and hot and fresh. Loved it! read more

5 Stars for El Sol Delie! If you haven't tried the empanada tacos at El Sol Delie, you're seriously missing out--they're next-level delicious! Crispy on the outside, perfectly seasoned on the inside, and bursting with flavor in every bite. It's comfort food with a gourmet twist. And the street tacos? Amazing. Fresh ingredients, bold flavors, and that authentic touch that makes you feel like you're eating right in the heart of Mexico. Every taco is a little celebration. The staff is friendly, the vibe is chill, and the food? Unforgettable. El Sol Delie is officially my go-to taco spot! read more

Better than I remembered! I now look for reasons to drive to Manchester, so that I can stop at El Sol!! I always buy 2 extra empanadas for the drive home. read more

Not a delicatessen, but a fine place for tacos Was in the area hoping to do a lunch at a local British pub. They were not open, so came here instead. Thinking about getting a sandwich or a hot dog, we came in and it was solely Mexican fare. Not complaining, but the pics online make it seem like their menu is a bit more robust than that. We got tacos, empanadas, and another dish i forget the name of. Food comes out reasonably quick, and we got some green sauce as well. Everything was fresh, tasty, and completely unhealthy. The menu is not for the health conscious, it's for the people who was very tasty food for not a lot of money. The tacos had fresh tortillas, the taco empanada was stuffed to the gills and fried up heavy, everything was heavy hitting, and I'm still working off the meal. That being typed though, it's good! If you want fresh made tacos and some crazy empanadas, then give these guys a try! read more

It's a cute place and my partner and I had high hopes, we heard good things! But we got chicken tacos, steak tacos, and a couple other things as well as a guava empanada for dessert... These tacos had the driest meat I've ever had in a taco.. yet somehow were still dripping liquid.. flavor wasn't really there either... and the guava empanada was so hard and dry with barely any filling. Unfortunately we won't be back.. pretty disappointed... read more

I kept hearing about this restaurant on Instagram and people were saying this is a great spot for Taco's, so I had to come check them out. When I got there the restaurant was packed. I mean a line out the door packed. As I got to the register, it started getting so packed that the owner was telling people that he wasn't serving anymore food because he was about to close in about forty five minutes. This establishment has cafe hours which means that it is only open until five, even on the weekends. I ordered their famous Empanadas Tacos and I ordered the Steak, Chicken, and Ground Beef. I also ordered their Birria Tacos. It took about twenty minutes to come out considering there were a lot of people waiting for their food. The Empanada Tacos were okay. The meat was lacking flavor and it just seemed like it was missing something. Maybe a sauce. The Birria Tacos were good very flavorful and the Consomé was good but it could have used a little love. Overall, they were okay Tacos. The customer service was great as the owner apologized about not taking anymore orders. He did thank all the customers inside for all their support and he really appreciated their business. read more

Service - the owner was nothing but sweet and considerate. He had a huge line but still managed to remain calm and get the job done! Ambiance - small but had good vibes, decor was nice. Food - Ive been craving/so interested in trying this spot. I went one Saturday afternoon and they were sold out!! This place has been popular ever since it opened. So i came back another day to try it and it did not disappoint. First i had the Birria tacos, this was flavorful and good, for the price it was very fulfilling! Secondly, i had to try their empanada tacos. THIS was delicious, the flavor was unbeatable. I never had something like this and it was something where i have to come and try again and again. Location - on main street, in a good area. Convenient for locals to drop in. read more

recently had the pleasure of trying out some delicious Mexican dishes, and let me tell you, the flavors were absolutely on point! The crunchy tacos with their bright, golden shells were filled with fresh lettuce, savory meat, and topped with a drizzle of creamy sauce that brought everything together. The shells had the perfect crunch, and each bite was a burst of flavor. They were filling, flavorful, and left me craving more. The quesadilla was another highlight! It had a beautifully crisp exterior with just the right amount of char, giving it that authentic, homemade taste. Inside, it was packed with tender, juicy meat and melty cheese that created a satisfying, gooey bite. Served on a bed of fresh greens and salsa, it felt like a complete meal. Overall, this place really knows how to make quality Mexican food. Everything tasted fresh, portions were generous, and the flavors were spot on. I'll definitely be back for more! read more

I stopped in for my first time, hoping for tasty homemade lunch. The inside is very small and has an overwhelming smell of Fabuloso which immediately gave me a headache. My Philly Cheese Steak cost $12.50 and came with fries. The sandwich was flavorless and the bread was larger than the fillings. The fries were greasy and tasted like rancid oil that doesn't get changed often. I tossed most of my lunch and left still feeling hungry with a headache and horrible taste in my mouth. Needless to say, I definitely won't be back. read more

Tiny, hole-in-the-wall, no-frills, Mexican spot where you both order and pick up your food at the counter Have a small selection of taco's, burritos, quesadillas, nacho's, and a few other options that you can choose the type of meat that goes into I came here for lunch with my GF and dad and they were totally overwhelmed by the lunch crowd/rush. It took a really long time for us to get our food, which, when we did get it, was mediocre read more

I was in CT to visit my college stident and she shared with me about El Sol Deli. We were able to visit about 30 minutes after they opened and happy we did. It was already buzzing. Along with two foodie bloggers checking out the location. Customer service was fabulous and food came out fast! One of our orders was mislabeled after I took a bite. I went back in and my order was corrected immediately. Again, great customer service. Food was delicious! Only suggestion, pull back on the salt some on the ground beef and chicken. From Denver, CO. read more

THE CASE OF THE UNFINISHED TACO. I ordered four pollo tacos & one MX Coke today via GrubHub. I requested no onions. What I received was 3 tacos with onions and one MX Coke and one completely empty taco shell. At first, I thought that maybe the taco contents had shifted in the container or the driver had eaten one but that was not the case, as each of three tacos were stuffed with no filling outside of the tacos at all. The driver had delivered it with care and the staples were still on the bag. In calling the store, I spoke with a young man who at first told me that my order had not gone through and would have to be input again. After several minutes of what seemed to be an Abbot & Costello sketch, i was able to convince him that I did receive my order, but it took at least another minute to convince him that I did NOT receive the entire order, just three tacos, one MX Coke, and an empty taco shell. After about a minutes worth of hold, he's back on telling me I have to call Grubhub. I explained that i was not happy receiving an empty taco shell, and he finally mumbled something about the manager putting an order for me or something to that effect. I said that would be good. He said I would have to call the manager even though I explained that I was driving and wouldn't be able to write the number down and asking him if he could give my number to the manager. This went on for another minute. Not kidding, the total call was 8 minutes and 33 seconds! I eventually just gave up and said goodbye. This was not a language barrier, because, at least as far as I know, the kid spoke the same English I did. I am very hesitant to write bad reviews (I've only written one on Yelp before) but if a business thinks that little of its customers to put this kid on the end of a phone handling customers on any level, they just don't care. I wouldn't even complain about the onions, as they might have been busy and what type of weirdo orders tacos without onions (me) but, IMO only the most stoned postal in the kitchen could possibly forget to put the stuff in the taco that is so obviously sitting there alone, empty, sad, and uneaten. I hate to go all grassy knoll, but me thinks it 'twas on purpose. I am not happy about it, but I'm not going to give them any more business, in spite of the fact that they are the best tacos I've had outside of AZ & MX and up until 1548 today I've been a regular customer and major booster of the restaurant. I'll make do with other, lesser tacos where I receive better customer service. CASE CLOSED. read more

El Sol Deli - Perfect Taco Shell, Sin Pollo y Cilantro. - Delis Near Me - Manchester, Connecticut

A small restaurant in the heart of downtown Manchester, I was surprised to see that when I pulled up the line was out the door. I've heard so many positive reviews (mainly word of mouth) that I decided to stick around. The line moved swiftly (I was told by the owner that people pay once they pick up their food, not when they place their order) and the gentleman at the cash register was very friendly although having to deal with tons of customers. After I placed my order I sat in the corner of the restaurant and patiently waited for my name to be called. Everyone in the restaurant seemed in good spirits and the owner would come by occasionally to answer questions and greet customers. I ended up ordering the chicken tacos and carnitas tacos. They were around $11.50 each which is a fair price for 3 tacos. I was told the empanadas has cheese in them and having a dairy allergy, I unfortunately couldn't indulge (I was told different after I left but wait until the end*) After getting my order I decided to eat at home due to the restaurant being packed, and when I ate my tacos I was delightfully surprised. The flavor. The soft shells. The fresh ingredients. These may be the best tacos I've ever had and I can't wait to revisit and try everything else on the menu*. Twice. 5/5 stars, run, don't walk here!! read more

We saw thedamtok review of this place on TikTok and had to try it out. Happy to live in Manchester next to a place like this. Everything was on point. The empanada taco was crispy and flavorful. The toppings didn't over power the meat inside and were just the right amount. The chorizo and steak were so delicious, not salty and tasted fresh. Everything on it had its own flavor and they complimented each-other really well. The torta bread was boooomb. My daughter ate her quesadillas and I couldn't snap a pic but if she ate it then we know it was good. Overall this food looks like it was made with a lot of love and we absolutely enjoyed it. We will be back! read more

The food overall was solid, I'd rate it a solid 3 out of 5. I felt like it lacked a bit of zest, perhaps a lime to squeeze over the tacos ( maybe they just forgot mine) would have elevated the flavors. The meat was cooked nicely and was the star of the show, but the red sauce seemed a bit watered down. I skipped the green sauce cause yall know I don't bangs with the green sauce cilantro taste like soap to me , but I could sense the potential in the meat's flavor profile. Maybe toasting the taco bread a bit more would have added that extra crunch. Honestly, my only problems could have been solved by trying what they're known for empanada tacos, which I'll definitely try for next time. So, for now, it's a 3 out of 5 for me if I go back I'll update y'all on how much it bumps this place up. As for service I couldn't be upset they were quick and efficient the food came out the perfect temp I just wish they had more seats for the amount of people in there but that's a good thing. Ambiance ima say this the music they were playing for sure a 10/10 definitely some bangers being played on the tv I almost got up and started dancing but I had to chill. read more

Great Service, Great Food. This is a small business but they cook with their hearts and I will be going again.

Oh em goodness!! This place is amazing. I didn't know how much I needed an empanada taco until I had one here. They are soooo good! The service was good as well. Its a cute little place so be prepared to possibly have to do take out but so worth it. Definitely give them a try! The line may be out the door but thats because they are amazing. read more
