2.5 stars but I'll go 3. I've dined here a couple times because one of my coworkers is a fan. Chips and salsa were actually not bad. No heat in the salsa but the flavor was fine. I went with a chile relleno this last visit. It was ok, nothing special but it filled me up. The worst thing here is the rice. It seems to be cooked al dente then mixed with tomato paste and spices. Not a fan. I much prefer the fluffy rice you'll find at most Mexican restaurants. Everything is very Americanized or maybe Loganized, lol. Service was very friendly and drinks were refilled promptly. So was salsa and chips. I can't emphasize enough how nice the waitress was. read more

we walked in, never saw a hostess. I picked up two menus ask one of the waitresses if we could sit in a booth she finally acknowledged. We sat down. We sat for at least 10 minutes. One of the waitresses, walked by us at least three times never stopped to ask for drinks or if she could help us. We ended up leaving the restaurant. read more

The customer service was excellent. Refills on chips and salsa are the best. I had the cheese enchilada and it was really good. I prefer the refried beans over the black beans as a side. My kids really liked their kids meals and the kids meals are good size. My mom ordered the lunch special and the portion size was huge! It was three meals for her. We will be back. read more

My family used to eat here when I was a child and I loved it. I have continued to go because of nostalgia. However the quality of the food has really gone down. The management is not good and instead of addressing problems (like dirty dishes etc) they just get defensive and rude. I have never asked for a refund or discount on my meal and have never gotten angry or upset. I just want to eat from clean dishes and have a drink without food in it. read more

Este restaurante es horrible. Prefiero Taco Bell en lugar de aqui. La Salsa es ketchup frío y los chips de tortillas son rancios y fríos. Pedí un plato con pollo (no me acuerdo exactamente). y el pollo estaba gris y era enlatado. El queso estaba frio y amarillo. Me dan asco los frijoles; Sabían a lámpara de calor. Pude saborear los frijoles dos días después de comer. No sal a 'El Sol'. read more

The service was wonderful. It had to be that way to make up for the food! The salsa was tomato sauce with chili powder and lots of salt. The chips were packaged chips. We got all the broken ones at the bottom of the bag The guacamole was fresh and disgusting I've never scooped off guacamole in my life. But this was Salt and something bitter. I couldn't figure out what was mixed with the Avocado. I will give them a 5 for the chili verde. It was fantastic. We won't be going back. The restaurant is dark and gloomy. They should go to Costco or Sam's to get their salsa and guacamole or get an other cook read more

This is not a Mexican restaurant. Food is absolutely fake and out of a can. The service was good. Our waitress was sweet. But overall food is horrible! read more

We have been visiting El Sol for over 30 years and it's one of our favorites. I usually always get the lunch or dinner special but today I got a salad with Chicken and Ranch dressing, Loved it. Staff were all new but very friendly and kept our drinks full. Best Mexican place in Logan. read more

Ordered the shredded beef burrito and the two cheese enchilada plate. And ohoho boy, lemme tell ya, the cheese was CHEESIN'. You could stretch out the bad boi long enough to wrap around the earth three times and still have enough to tie yourself a nice bow tie with it. The chips and spicy ketchup had my nose running into my Coca-Cola; had an unexpected kick. Then I got the fried ice cream, which was to ice cream what a nose-exhale is to real laughing. 10/10 for customer service and speed. read more

The food was awful. The salsa for the chips was straight up tomato paste. I ordered a burrito and the tortilla was dry and steak was not seasoned and tasted like it came straight out of a microwave. read more

Food. Value. Quick service. We came in with a large group on Friday night. They were very accommodating and found us a table quickly.

They have the best chicken chimichangas! I get it without the rice and beans (not a fan of them)

Had a very early dinner of a cheese enchilada and a Baja fish taco. Very disappointing. The enchilada was ok, but the fish taco was a little fish, a LOT of lettuce, a smidgen of red cabbage and NO Baja sauce or sauce of any kind. At least the flour taco shell was grilled nicely. Our server was friendly and completely our order correctly. I don't plan on returning unless I eat first. read more

First time visit to this place. Interior is fairly typical for a Mexican restaurant. They did a great job with disinfecting between customers. Servers were super friendly and on top of things. Lots of regulars here that like to talk loud enough for the whole restaurant to participate and the server helped them out. Received chips and a salsa. The salsa was like tomato sauce with a slightly hot chili added to it. Menu was fairly small with nothing really available as a low carb option. I got chicken fajitas. It came out on a sizzling plate with a smaller portion than I normally get at other restaurants. The chicken was good and the seasoning fine, and there were green peppers and onions with it. The onions were minuscule and over cooked the peppers were fine. Corn tortillas were not given as an option. Flour tortillas were wrapped in foil and hot but had a crusty endive on all of them. Overall food was just okay, service was great, and cleanliness good. I probably wouldn't come here again because there are better options. read more

My wife remembered this place fondly from the 80s so we thought we would give it a go... the Formica Decore with purple and yellow paint was less than inviting. The air was filled with the aroma of lard grilling on an open flame. Luckily they had a simple choice of cheese enchiladas and rice and beans. I hastily chose this option after having to walk through the kitchen to wash my hands... the kitchen is a food crime scene waiting to be the showcase of a reality tv show. I asked if the Sopapias were good and the waitress I swear looked at me like I was an effing idiot. This is a two star restaurant after all. She graciously offered that they "were popular here". I couldn't have been more impressed with her skill in answering. The food is served on a hot plate but still tasted only warm. The cheese enchilada was actually rather tasty. The beans clumpy and forgettable, the rice was like sticky rice with spanish seasoning. The fried ice cream was the best. I didn't mind the salsa as it was purée style and pretty tasty, the chips were warm and crunchy. Overall I would give the food 3-4 stars as the taste and price were pretty reasonable. However, ambiance, comfort level, staffing, exposed kitchen, tables needing bused was all just too much for me... have to say that 2 stars feels about right. So proud of those young waitresses over worked, underpaid and tired of serving in a mess of a restaurant. read more

Honestly if i can give this place no stars I would. Was thinking of trying something new. Didn't look at yelp reviews only saw the reviews on google. We walked in and waited a bit to be sat, there was only a few other tables that were seated. We finally sat we were severed chips and salsa.... First of all not sure were the salsa comes from but it was literally just tomato sauce. We ordered food. I did not get a picture of anything :( i ordered a chili relleno and a beef taco. The taco shell was a stale chili relleno was very small. My plate came with rice and beans except when it was brought out there was no rice and beans. The server brought them out the rice looked like boxed rice and the beans were meh. My sister ordered the special that was CHEESE enchiladas. As she was eating she tasted something funny. She started to look into what was her enchiladas and there was mold. Like GROSS! My other sister had a chicken chimichanga and I have no idea what was on her plate when it came out. She thinks she got food poisoning. Well let's just say we will NEVER be back! Oh our server was nice and attentive. read more

Food is solidly good. Service is exceptional. The queso dip is not for me but I liked everything else we ordered. Bean and cheese burrito, Chile relleno, and rice and beans. read more

We ordered our food on Grubhub. It was delayed 3 times. Once we got the food an hour and a half after ordering it was cold, and the order was not correct. After traveling all day we were looking forward to a relaxing and tasty meal. We had neither. Would not recommend to anyone!! read more

Once a main stay for Logan now it is only a thing of the past. Obviously a brand that could not withstand time. Chicken Enchiladas were dry as a bone and enchilada sauce has way too much cinnamon in the spices. Food was gross and service was slow. Saw the "Lunch Special" was over $7 and was once $2.19. It's beans bro, how do you charge $7 for beans. read more

This place was the bomb 20 years ago and then when Steve left it all went south. They now boast the most expensive chimichanga in town, and the least flavorful salsa. I'm pretty sure it's just ketchup with some extra vinegar in it. This place ranks dead last in places to eat Mexican food in Logan, and that includes the sketchy grocery store a couple blocks south with questionable food handling practices. read more

There's many types of Mexican Food in this great country. Some of those regional flavors are Fresh-Mex, Tex-Mex, New Mexican just to name a few. I personally would like to propose an additional type of Mexican cuisine... Ute-Mex. Its Mexican food plagued with otherwise standard Mexican food ingredients combined into a remarkably uninspired plate of Mexibland Ute-Mex. And to kick off this new regional Ute-Mex cuisine, I'd change El Sol's food category to Ute-Mex. I very reluctantly am giving the restaurant 3 stars. I feel like it was a very 2.5 type of experience. The service was exceptional, the server was polite/attentive, the drink was kept full and the food was delivered fast and her performance is the only reason I'm not giving 2 stars. I ordered the Chimichanga because it seemed to be recommended. I'm no stranger to a good Chimi, this one was half hearted at best. It was filled with ground beef, there were shredded chicken and beef options for 2 or so dollars more. In retrospect, I should have opted for the shredded beef. The size of Chimi was good, not terribly thick full of meat but there was a good enough amount figuring you also get rice and beans. My biggest complaint and surprise was it being topped with a load of straight from the tub sour cream. Not a sour cream sauce you often find in Mexican cuisine, but just straight dolups of sour cream. Then they tossed some shredded cheese on top. I hope I either wasn't offered or just didn't read that there was other options. If not, El Sol needs to shop around and find some actual sauces to top their Chimi's with. You are also served rice and beans with the meal. I picked re-fried beans and I appreciate they serve the re-fried variety. So many places only do black and pinto. It was a touch of Tex-Mex in Utah where they often try to Fresh-Mex it up too much. The rice was very bland, it tasted positively generic. There's better Mexican Rice from Rice a Roni at the grocery store. The chips were thick and from a bag, the salsa had good spice but tasted bad and had the thick consistency of ketchup. I seriously have never seen salsa that looked like this. They could serve Pace Picante and get a better reaction from me. But it was the spiciest thing I tasted at the restaurant. I want to be very straight forward in closing this review. There is NOTHING wrong or substandard about the ingredients that are being used, its the final product. Its just bland and uninspiring. By retooling some items with something as simple as a better sauce and a little actual Mexican spices you could really zest up the dishes. The service is great and I would go there again if service was the only item to review. El Sol is number one on my list of Ute-Mex restaurants, for better or worse. read more

El Sol - Ground Beef Chimichanga - Mexican Near Me - Logan, Utah

The only star I'll give them is for the music. Had good songs playing. But let me start how bad they were: When I got my combination plate, my taco looked like it was brought from Taco Bell. And let me clarify that no where in any authentic Mexican restaurant or true Mexican food background do we put ground beef in a taco. That's just nasty. The enchilada was horrible because the tortilla was hard to chew. My kids meal had chicken nuggets from costco... those dinosaurs chicken nuggets. The restaurant was just boring and service was eehh. Don't recommend anyone going. read more

El Sol - What Mexican restaurant would give you a taco from Taco Bell?!?! - Mexican Near Me - Logan, Utah

Chips Salsa Sour Cream - what more could you want.Perfect spot for lunch/ dinner. Chile Verde Burrito is delicious. Cheese Crisp is a must!

I grew up in Logan, and as a result I've always known about El Sol, seen it, drove by it, and eaten there a handful of times. I've since moved away, and came back, and then moved away again. On our last visit we stopped by there, as we wanted to have some "Logan food". I lived in Arizona for 5 years where I developed an affection for Mexican food, which does make me a bit picky about it. After being seated, we got our chips and a red liquid we now call "Salt-sa" as it tasted like a very salty, watered down ketchup. It was really repulsive, not salsa at all. The servers there didn't seem interested in serving us at all, they all acted like doing their job was some enormous interruption in their very busy schedule or something. I don't specifically recall what we ordered, as it was some time ago, but what I do recall is that the food was of about he lowest quality I've ever had, and that's saying something. Meat which distinctly tasted like it came out of a can, nearly flavorless rice that appeared to have been sitting for some time. Refried beans that were most definitely canned, sauces and toppings that were either old or missed the mark on flavor. What I can tell you is that everything we got was smothered in nasty, low grade, greasy cheese, and believe me I like cheese, but this was horrific like the swamp thing of cheese on your plate. A plate which spent some amount of time in a nuclear reactor, I bet if you turned the light off it would glow, heaven forbid you bring tiny children in there, they could be seared by one of those plates. I honestly think you can score better Mexican food at fast food joints, or the "Open 24 hours" Mom and Pop Mexican food shop down the street, and this fact in and of itself is really sad. I may look back on Logan nostalgically and even hope to live there again some day, but I do not miss El Sol, and won't be going there again. read more

No Cilantro!!! Which is good because cilantro tastes like soap. If you're interested in science you should hit this place up. I've heard of sublimation, but never experienced it in my body before. -Sublimation is the process of a solid transforming directly into a gas. The chips and salsa were good. read more

This place was recommended to my family by a friend. It wasn't anything special. We came here at about 4:30 on a Saturday evening. It was only about a minute before they had set up a table for our party of 8. They were prompt and our server, Shelby, was very friendly and attentive. I ordered a chicken quesadilla that wasn't super amazing. The rice and beans were crusty and not even warm. The quesadilla was absolutely filled with cheese. And not some super yummy blend of cheeses. It was just thick, gooey cheese that almost made me panic every bite I took because I felt like I was going to choke. I don't think I would visit this place again. read more

We eat here at least 2-3 times a month. We love their Nacho's supreme. I order them Chili Verde style. They are yummy and the large order is plenty for two to split. Their service is super fast! Sometimes we are in and out within a half hour. Like fast food without the fast food taste. Their location is great, right off main street. Having said all that, they could use a remodle. Looking a bit on the dive side. But food is great! read more

This is the epitome of the bland, uninspired cheese-covered Southwestern cooking Utah is famous for. Sadly, I grew up on this stuff, not knowing then there was so much better out there. Little did I know an enchilada didn't have to be filled with stringy, unseasoned, dry chicken or beef, topped with nasty sauce and cheap, greasy cheese. That is all you get here. This place is stuck in a time warp back to 30 years ago. Nothing here tastes fresh. Everything they cook is bland. It must sit in heating bins all day since it comes to your table much too fast, smothered then served on a lava hot plate. Their salsa is just a seasoned ketchup. Even the beans and rice are bland. Chips from a bag. How do places like this stay in business? There is so much better out there, just not a lot of it in Logan. Logan deserves better, we should demand better. read more

Not good. Would not waste my money here again. Chicken was questionable, salsa tasted like ketchup and spices.

You know that one friend that always tries so hard to make jokes with the rest of the group but just comes off as offensive? El Sol is like that, but without trying so hard. The rice is grainy, the sauce is basically ketchup, and the overall lack of flavor is clearly being compensated for with their egregious cheese portioning. Just my two cents, but I cannot in good consciousness recommend this establishment. read more

Great food, great service, and great atmosphere! We went there for lunch and the service was way fast. Cheese enchilada black beans and large soft taco with Chile verde is what we got and it was great at! 10/10 would recommend! read more

John G. Review dated 8/29/17 Is EXACTLY everything i was about to write!!! I don't know him but i agree with EVERY word. Im recently retired military and I've traveled and lived all over the world this is the worst mexican restaurant in the entire world out of the several hundred places i visited in and out of U.s.a. i thought some places in el paso was bad this blew them away. Go to la tormenta , 24 hours place or even taco bell leave this last option. read more

We stopped here after a long road trip, and was beyond disappointed. Not authentic Mexican at all, and the food we received was awful. Definitely will not be going back. The outside looks cool, don't let that fool you. read more

How is this place still in business? For the love of all that is good, don't go here. The salsa is mostly ketchup, the chicken is canned, the vegetables are old, and every meal I've ever had here has been inedible. I ordered the taco salad this time and I was so disgusted with the glop they put in front of me I ate three bites and refused to take a fourth. A sad excuse for a restaurant. read more

It's like a little piece of Mexico.....but the part you don't want to visit. The carpet is filthy, the service nice but hapless and the food mediocre.....EDIT ok it's been like six hours and I still feel gross. Taking it from 3-2 stars. read more

I've been coming here ever since I was a little girl. This is one of my favorite places to eat in Logan. The portions are huge, and the prices aren't bad. If you are looking for super authentic Mexican food, you are going to be disappointed. However, if you are looking for good Americanized Mexican food for a good price, this is your place. Plus, their chips and salsa are delicious! read more

Worst Mexican food I've ever eaten in Logan. The food tastes old and gross, and the doesn't even come out that hot. The kitchen staff looked scuzzy and poorly groomed. You can see right into their kitchen since you literally have to go through there to get to the BATHROOM!! Avoid this place at all cost. read more

Don't waste your money. Worst mexican food i have ever had. Was good 20yrs ago. A must try is in Springville Utah La Casita. Check out their reviews. Best mexican food around. Better than any i have had in Mexico. Way disapointed. read more

Unfortunately, this was easily the MOST woefully prepared food I have ever tried to eat. Ordered fish tacos.... I'm not picky at all. Fish reeked of age and was over cabbaged. Rice undercooked, beans over salted. Highlight was the speed at which the bill was delivered. A cheap lesson for me being a new person in town. I'm going to count it as sunk cost for education and move in to the Cafe Rio down the street which for comparable pricing is better in every way. I feel sad for whoever owns this operation. read more
