Broken chips and tomato sauce

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

"Fried" ice cream

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.

Chicken fajitas accompaniment
Samantha C.

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.

Ground Beef Chimichanga
Adam G.

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.

What Mexican restaurant would give you a taco from Taco Bell?!?!

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)

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

So so good! I highly recommend the enchilada plate. It comes with three different sauces mole,…read morewhite, and green and each one is delicious in its own way. Perfect if you want variety and bold flavors. Are waiter was very nice and knew the menu very well! The restaurant was very clean.

Staff were friendly. It was a bit loud for me but I guess that was a good sign that people were…read moreenjoying themselves. I liked that they brought two types of salsa. I didn't think I would like the green one but it was my favorite. Chips were warm and just the right amount of salt. I always over order so I can have leftovers for lunch. I had a 3 item combo with a cheese enchilada no onion, ground beef taco, and a relleno. I always have to try a chile relleno when I go to a new state. I had to ask how they made it cause some places make it different than what I am used to. There was an option in the menu that read $2.99 for an authentic relleno. I had to ask. The server explained that what comes with the plate is like an omelette style with the chile cut up (that's what I understood). I was thinking, "Really! I have to pay $3 extra to get a traditional style item. That should be offered automatically if you are serving traditional food." I paid the extra cause I wasn't going to have the 'omelette' style. The taco was ok. The ground beef wasn't hitting me right but I ate it. The rice was good. The beans started out ok but then started to taste funny. I stopped eating them. The relleno started out really good. Nice flavor, easy to cut, lots of cheese. About a 1/3 way through I couldn't cut the chile with my fork and the flavor started to change. I couldn't eat anymore. I took the enchilada and rice with me and left the rest.
