I lived in Arizona for many years and were craving an excellent breakfast burrito that was just impossible to find in this area until el sol came. The breakfast burrito with chorizo and potatoes is incredible and the best outside of AZ we've had. Also the empanada tacos and just general burritos all amazing

Wonderfully little spot in a small strip mall! Order shrimp tacos..... Order came up quickly.

Incredible food, kind service, a perfect spot for lunch! I was blown away by the empanada tacos, and their guacamole is amazing. Portions were more than generous for a great price point! I tell all my friends to check this place out

First time there and the food is amazing , had one of the lunch specials (stew) and it was soo good, and not only was the food great but the service was also on point

Chorizo burrito, El Pastor burrito, and salsas (avocado, mango, green, and red).

Absolutely phenomenal hidden gem here in Stratford. Have driven by it a hundred times and never would have thought to stop. Was looking for a deli and most spots close early, but not El Sol! They have a really wide array of sandwiches, Mexican food items, and desserts. My wife and I got burritos (chorizo and el pastor) and we both agree this spot is our new favorite place in town.

Great food awesome prices! The steak taco was delicious and filling. Mango salsa was good and kind of spicy. I will definitely be back.

A Rooster metal art piece outside the establishment in Covid times as it hit eateries hard.

Great breakfast and lunches. Always good choices and tasty. Quaint little shop with full of brightness and a country feel. Great place for a quick take out, so delicious.

I work in Bridgeport and I'm always looking for new places to try. I came across this deli on my route to work. SO GOOD! yesterday I had carnitas tacos & today I had the beef empanadas. The tacos were STUFFED and the meat was fresh and tasty. The empanadas were also STUFFED! So good and such home cooked feel. Highly recommend! Definitely full and satisfied.

I went feral for this food. I never go out to buy lunch but after having a taste of their homemade hot sauce I knew they were a good pick. Called ahead for a steak burrito and headed over. The place has plenty of parking and is spotless inside. It's clean and welcoming, immediately greeted and assisted. I heard their breakfast burritos were fantastic but this steak burrito bowl?! Amazing!! Rice - beans - veggies and a TON of steak. Every bite accompanied by the hot sauce is mouth watering!! Can't wait to try their other options! GREAT JOB!!!!!!

I'll start with the customer service in this establishment. I've been in person and called for deliveries. It makes no difference. They are extremely professional at all times. I have had their Philly cheese steak sandwiches, taco salad, and their sopes. The quality and quantity are outstanding and their prices are reasonable. Don't waste your money on fast food when you can get quality food for less money. I highly recommend this deli. You won't regret trying them. read more

I was very sad because when I went to pay the check, they charged more than the posted price for my burrito. Not that the price was out-of-line, but when this happens - you know they're doing it on purpose. It's not o.k. to do stuff like that. Will never return. read more

This place is a hidden gem of Stratford. Just had the chorizo breakfast sandwich with their homemade hot sauce. It hit the spot. I usually don't finish my food, but there was nothing left to this sandwich. Haha. The service is A+. Friendly staff. I overheard a lady say she wanted scrambled eggs on her sandwich instead of sunny side up. And they made her a new sandwich without hesitation. Very polite. I think that's great! The ambiance is very cozy. Can't get any more authentic! read more

We were driving through area on 95 on a long road trip. Saw this place on yelp and tried it. So glad we did. It was 7:30 am on Sunday morning and we popped in for take out. The location is close to expressway and easy on/off to get back on the road. My husband ordered a bacon egg and cheese breakfast sandwich. It was delicious with lots of bacon. My daughter had a bagel. And I got tacos at 7:30 am! They were delicious and authentic with great crunchy shells. The food came out fast and was terrific! The staff was very nice. Great experience! read more

We were greeted by a big smiling face that seemed genuinely happy to see us, and made us feel at ease as if we were long lost relatives. What a welcoming experience for our first time here. Mike's is an old school Italian deli, with quite a few breakfast specials that are incredibly priced. For example, how about an egg on a roll for $3.25 or hash browns for a buck? Hell, the most expensive breakfast item on their entire menu is $9.50 for three eggs, home fries, toast and breakfast meat! After breakfast, you can function on lunch because Mike's offers plenty of hot and cold sandwiches, hot and cold sides, paninis, salads, soups and Italian lunches and dinners. The most expensive thing on the entire menu is a Chicken Parmigiano dinner for $15.95. We ordered some food to go, and we walked out with a bag and box of food for $34.24 after tax. Our order included a Ham and Cheese on a roll ($9.25), Ziti with Chicken Parmigiano Lunch ($10.95), fresh Garden Salad ($9.95), and two chocolate chip cookies ($2). As we were waiting for the food, we witnessed a parade of lunch customers coming in for their to-go orders. Many of the customers were obvious regulars and they were addressed by name by the staff. That was pretty cool to see. We split the sandwich for lunch, and it was a very good sandwich with plenty of high-quality deli ham and cheese, fresh lettuce and tomatoes and onions, and a very fresh hard roll. For dinner, we attacked the salad, chicken parm and ziti, and a hunk of fresh buttered Italian bread that came with the chicken and ziti. The salad was excellent, with plenty of fresh lettuce, grape tomatoes, halved cucumber slices, black olives, and cheddar cheese shreds. The chicken parm/ziti lunch was a pretty good portion that we easily split. Ziti, sauce, cubed breaded chicken cutlets, all with a blanket of marinara sauce and cheese. We had it for dinner and it was very good, as was the Italian bread that came with it. The proverbial icing on the cake wasn't a cake at all, but two chocolate chip cookies, made fresh every morning by Mike himself. What a sweet way to finish off our wonderful experience with Mike's Italian Deli & Grill. This was an easy FIVE STAR review for customer service, value, variety, and product quality.

I may add that I live 90 minutes from here and only come to this town 1-3 times a year. So, my friends usually take my suggestions and a group of eight of us showed up on a Saturday night with no reservation, and somehow the universe blessed us with a table. The place was packed, even the bar had people standing around it; so we knew we were in for a good night. One thing I loved about Cibus that night, is the crowd. It's a great mix of Hispanic and non‑Hispanic diners, which tells you the food speaks to everyone. The décor is warm and inviting, and the dimmed evening lighting gives it that cozy, "we're about to eat well" vibe. Parking was easy too. I have to admit I thought it may be harder to find parking but we found a spot right behind the restaurant, though street parking is also an option, but was packed. Our server, David, deserves his own shout‑out. Super patient, friendly, and ready with answers for every question we threw at him. He checked on us often without hovering, and everyone at the table agreed he did an excellent job. Now, the food...my favorite part. If you've read my reviews before, you know I eat everything but have a soft spot for Asian cuisine. And even though I'm Hispanic, I rarely go out for Hispanic food because I cook it well at home and most places don't impress me. Cibus, however, did not disappoint. Not one dish missed the mark, and the whole table agreed. We even ordered extra food to take home. We started with the Garlic Shrimp with Mofongo. The creamy orange sauce caught me off guard because it's not the usual style, but it worked beautifully. The flavors were balanced, the mofongo wasn't dry (thank you!), and the shrimp were cooked perfectly. We liked it so much we ordered multiple plates of this one; plus two Cuban sandwiches to go. The Cuban was tasty, though it could use a little more meat and sauce. The Ropa Vieja was another hit. Plenty of meat, plenty of sauce, and the black beans were flavorful. A sprinkle of fresh cilantro on top would have made it perfect, but that's just me being picky with my extra flavors and aroma. We also had the ceviche, the trio of little mofongos, and the Chips and Guacamole -- and yes, they make their tortilla and plantain chips in‑house. Not a single crumb survived. I tried the Tostones Sliders with pork, and I wouldn't change a thing. They were loaded with meat, had the right amount of veggies and sauce, and were just delicious. The only dish that didn't wow me was the Maduro with cheese. I love maduros, but the melted mozzarella felt a little plain. There's so much potential here, instead of Mozart maybe try some queso Mexicano, a small side of meat sauce, chimichurri sauce, or even a spicy drizzle could take it to the next level. Speaking of spice, I asked for hot sauce and was surprised to get a watered‑down Frank's RedHot. For a Latin fusion restaurant, something like Cholula, El Yucateco, or Tapatío would fit the Latin fusion theme so much better and elevate the dishes. But overall, Cibus is doing so many things right -- great service, great food, great atmosphere. I'm already planning my next visit and bringing new people with me at end of May.

The waitress was apologetic and I understand humans forget things from time to time when you're busy. However, this evening was less than half full and when we left it was near closing time...only a couple tables were still there. The least they could have done was comp my meal or have the manager stop by to apologize. But that didn't happen, I just didn't want to make a fuss...so I paid the bill and time will tell if there is another visit in the future.

Their website, https://opendoortea.com/, is beautiful and full of information. I highly recommend a visit; you'll be glad you did. Craig

Such a lovely little spot! They had trivia going on in the next room but it was consolidated to…read morethat room, making it easy for my friends and I to have a conversation. Plus the staff was really friendly and helpful. The cashier recommended a delicious tea to me. I got the Strawberry Hibiscus and it was fantastic. I left with a bag of it. Both of my friends enjoyed their tea choices also. We will definitely be back again for our weekly meetups!

What a gem! Some American favorite deli items and so much more! I wanted to try something different for breakfast and heard El Sol offered some Latin dishes, so I decided to give it a try. The setup is that of a typical deli, with small tables, a fully stocked chip rack, a large refrigerator with a variety of drinks, a coffee station, and a buffet countertop. The menu includes typical American sandwiches and griddle items, but it also includes Salvadorian and Mexican delicacies. I've stopped by twice, once for breakfast and once for lunch. For breakfast, I ordered the Salvadorian platter, and it was amazing! I ordered my eggs scrambled, and they came accompanied with plantains, refried beans, avocado, and tortillas. Delicious! Today, I stopped by for lunch and ordered the steak nachos. The steak was nicely seasoned and chopped. The nachos were also loaded with cheese, sour cream, refried beans, pico de gallo, and fresh avocado. Very satisfying! I'll definitely stop by again soon! read more
