This was a great spot to stop in at! We googled breakfast burritos around the area and found this place with lots of great reviews on the burritos and since that's what we were craving, we decided to give it a go. Always nerve wrecking to try a new place, but we were very happy with our experience. Kind service, great burrito, close to where we were and great space.

Excellent breakfast burrito. Came out HOT. Flavorful, mild chorizo with an excellent tasting tortilla. Friendly service, clean location with seating inside and outside as well. Two ice cold full bottles of salsa were brought to our table along with our burrito. So glad we stopped.

I was hesitant to try here due to mixed reviews but I'm glad I did! I had the Chorizo Plate for breakfast which comes with mix of chorizo and eggs, potatoes, beans and tortillas (corn or flour). The employee said they make their chorizo in house so had to try it out! It was good, but could use a bit more flavor. The potatoes were bland, no flavor. They also give you salsa bottles when dining in. The green salsa was spicy and the red was mild and perfect for me, which was funny since it's normally opposite. We also got a Pineapple Empanada to share and it was delicious. I wish there were more baked goods but they only had the fruit empanadas and some cookies. The restaurant is clean and the prices were decent. I will come back again to try more dishes!

Absolutely amazing!! We come typically once a week. Today we grabbed some catering because it's too hot to cook. They're so friendly here, definitely a mom and pop shop to the fullest. Comfortable, aesthetically pleasing, gorgeous art work. The food hits like nanas, it's untouchable. Highly recommended 100%

Disappointing. We've been here before, but the food was disappointing this time. Not sure what changed, but the simple yet vibrant flavors of traditional Mexican food was missing. It was bland and lifeless. They are a bit pricey, so they need to perform better. Another meal like this, and I will cross them off my list. There are too many options in the valley to eat lifeless Mexican food.

My wife found this place one morning looking for a new place to eat. She found a gem as the food here is delicious! I believe they make their own salsas and tortillas and chips fresh! I ordered a verde rojo burrito and she got their shredded beef quesadilla. Oh man they were HUGE but I was so hungry I ate it all! My wife left 1 piece of the quesadilla which is cool cuz I'll snack on it later . Anyway we'll be back again soon! So ono! read more

I am a native Chandler resident and have been trying so hard to find good Mexican food restaurants locally. I would also like to note I am a menudo fanatic but unfortunately I was disappointed especially with so many high ratings for their menudo. 1st - Overpriced $15.50 for a bowl with a few hominy which with tax and card fee = $17.21 2nd - the meat (cow stomach/ tripe) was full of hair. Yes I know that there should be a few here and there but the amount I spent picking off was a bit excessive. 3rd - The bolillo tasted like pan dulce I couldn't even finish one of the halves. With this said you should instead try Parrilla Los Picos in Mesa, AZ - Alma School and University. And no I don't work for them or being paid to advertise them. They just honestly give you the biggest bang for your buck and they are not stingy with the amount. You also have an option to do unlimited menudo bowl for the same price as the 1/2 you get here. Please up your menudo game! read more

Definitely home made and fresh. Wish I lived closer I would be coming here often for lunch because they close at 2pm. I bet their chilaquiles are just as delicious.

Ambiance was good and customer service was great. And I'm so sorry but I have never seen a plate of chilaquiles that looks like this in my entire life haha. I'm sure they have other good food, I just wouldn't recommend going here if you are looking for authentic dishes. Also it was a tad pricey considering portions. I'd recommend it more for people who enjoy "Tex-Mex." Wasn't bad, just wasn't what I was expecting :) lady working cash register today was super nice too.

I had the chilaquiles they were horrible! It's like the opened a can of Las Palma Sauce and put it on some staled chips garnished with queso fresco, cilantro, and red onions. And who makes chilaquiles and don't put an egg in it. When I seen no egg, I knew this dish was wrong, and they served it cold. No love or effort was put into this dish. Do not order this dish you'll be disappointed. Service was great and fast. The the atmosphere was a clean, good vibe, and great artwork. read more

Lived in Chandler over 25 years & have never had a chance to eat here. I just use to run in & out to purchase their homemade tortillas bi weekly, we've Driven by a few times on the weekends but it's always super busy(small parking lot) no where to park so we just moved on, we'll we made it our mission to finally eat here so we went early on a Friday, they were busy but had a few tables still available. Service & food did not disappoint!! I LOVE that POTATOES & beans are offered with their breakfast entrees I'm not a fan of Rice offered @ majority of mex places for breakfast. Old school Az Mex Food just like my mom & nana use to cook. This will definitely be our weekday food spot. Daughter had red enchilada plate & I had Huevos Rancheros!

The mug was really cool and AZ themed, so I had to get it. I picked out some of the cake slices as well as some baked goods! I also ordered the Vietnamese coffee drink and added sea salt and brown sugar. It was delicious but definitely on the sweeter side. I think I would skip the brown sugar next time. When I arrived, they were out of the Berry Tales on the floor which are my favorite. I asked if they had any made in the back and it turns out they'd recently made a fresh batch and were letting them cool. Assunta got me a couple of those and then helped ring up my order. She was very very nice and gave me an extra slice of cake. When I mentioned they were for a birthday, she also gave me some candles and birthday chocolates to put on top. I really appreciated this and can't thank her enough for going the extra mile to provide such awesome service! I love 85, Especially this location in Chandler. Definitely check it out sometime.

There were so many options that it honestly took me a while to decide what I wanted! I really liked the self-serve bakery concept because it lets you browse at your own pace and pick out whatever catches your eye. They have a great mix of both sweet and savory items, along with an extensive drink menu featuring both hot and cold beverages, so there's truly something for everyone no matter what you're craving. Everything we ordered tasted fresh and flavorful. The pastries were light and delicious, and the drinks paired perfectly with the food. You can definitely tell they take pride in the quality of what they serve. The only thing I'd mention is that they don't accept American Express. It wasn't an issue for me since I had another payment method, but it's something to keep in mind before visiting. Overall, this was a fantastic first experience, and I can definitely see why so many people recommend 85°C Bakery Cafe. Between the incredible selection, fresh-tasting food, delicious drinks, and unique bakery experience, I'll definitely be back to try even more of their menu.

We've only been to the one in Old Town Mesa, by the fine art theater. Just glad its not next door, because I'd start living there! Not to sound like a hoity toity food snob, (kind of like when someone says they are not a "conspiracy theorist," but then they go into great lengths about conspiracies -- I'll be a snob here. Their pastries and breads are next level. They aren't just baking an excellent product (which would be enough to make me happy in area that lacks artisan bakers) they are "crafting" baking art. I hate to compare to the European Bakery craft (because there are plenty of great American bakers) but Europe does have that as a trademark (at least France, Switzerland, Germany, and Italy.) If all I ate eat each day was one of their croissants, it would be enough - theirs just flake away from the outside, and then a tender airy sourdough inside. Pain au Chocolate - excellent. Croissant - excellent. Oh -- Chocolate Chuck cookie - unbelievable. Best I've ever had. Chewy, buttery, crunchy. Not caky. I'll be heading back for sourdough bread and other goodies.

I know they're vegetarian, but I wanted to double check with her. She responds as "vegetarian means no meat, right"? All employees working at a food establishment should know what vegetarian means. This was quite baffling to hear. I asked her for a new slice because the one that was out on display was visibly burned and the other slice was touching pepperoni from the meat pizza. As mentioned, I'm a vegetarian. Therefore, I could not have either one of those slices. She proceeds to say that's how the pizzas are. They are slightly burned because they are so sourdough. While I can accept this answer, I do not accept the fact that she would not be willing to give me another slice as a paying customer. She insensitively said she can't give me a new one until all the old slices are taken up. She mentioned that this is their procedure. According to this, they are saying that they will not provide a proper product unless the old, damaged product, or unacceptable by the customer is used up first. If this is their business model, then it is apparent they do not value customer service. This business should have the competence to understand that if they want to sell a product, they cannot sell it in a condition that the customer is not satisfied with. Most importantly, being a vegetarian, they should have the sensitivity to understand that if a slice is touching the meat product then they cannot consume it. And again, the employee completely disregarded my health and religious beliefs by not accommodating me. You usually won't encounter problems when you're just trying to buy bread. However, it reflects on the business's employees greatly when there is a problem and they do not value customer service by resolving or accommodating the customer's satisfaction. I will be switching to Noble exclusively. Especially since it's so readily available at the farmers markets and stores.

My wife had better luck with her steak. She said she liked hers. The fried could have been fried for another minute to get a better crisp. The service was very good and I like the steakhouse vibe but in a kinda business casual way. They have a happy hour sit at the bar menu and it must be pretty good because the bar was full. We used our quarterly Amex Rezy credit for our dinner. Had I paid the full $150 out of pocket I'd have been pretty disappointed. Before I spend that kind of money unless you're trying to impress a date of business associate I'd save my money and eat at that place with Texas in the name. For you anniversary you get a glass of champagne and for your birthday you get dessert. Maybe I'll try the Happy Hour. I did forget one thing. The Alex salad. At $14 it's a joke. I asked our server if the salad was large enough to share? It was but the menu says if you order the salad with an entree it's only $10. The waiter added the $14 salad because the $10 salad isn't enough to share. Also what kind of steak house doesn't have a wedge? Wedges are always enough to split. And many places have an option to split for a few dollars more. The cost of soups and salads is getting out of hand.

The service however, has been a miss all three times we've been in. The location is large so maybe they just need to add to their team and do a little additional customer care training with everyone. We came in Saturday afternoon to a small lobby area where a gal was already waiting to be sat and when the third group walked in that lobby got even smaller. We waited for about 5 minutes for the hostess who came off cold and unbothered in leaving customers waiting as the other team members took notice of the filling lobby with no one checking in to let us know we'd be assisted soon. The hostess proceeded to tell us she'd be seating us outside, no offer of sitting inside at all and not once did she acknowledge her absence or offer any sort of greeting, not even a smile. When you're the first person the customer interacts with at business I feel it good practice to create a welcoming atmosphere that represents the space you're entering. Especially a place like this that is known for a fun, lively atmosphere. We were sat outside and our waitress was very sweet and got us taken care of with water, food, and drinks pretty quickly. It was a lot cooler than expected on the patio which was awesome, as I was worried about sitting outside when it was 104. Great job with that Mexicano! But once we got our food our waitress stopped by to check in once and we didn't really see her until the end of our meal after that. No refills on water or check-in to see if we wanted additional drinks (which I feel like happened the last time we were in as well). There's a gentleman with a tiger tattoo on the back of his neck who stops in at some people's tables to check in and have chat, he's never stopped in with us.. it all just seems like the customer isn't a priority at this restaurant. The food is delicious, the drinks are great but for the prices, I want to feel more valued. I want to have that fun experience of going out for drinks in a vibrant high-end cantina where you feel connected with the staff. We'll go back but I would really love to see a more engaged customer support team.

On our most recent visit, I wasn't feeling anything too fancy, so I just got a mango smoothie. Their mango smoothie tastes exactly like this other place I used to love going to over ten years ago but have since closed, so it was a nice surprise to find a place that made it similarly.

El Sol is a vibrant gem that transports you straight to the heart of Mexico. The beautiful murals outside and authentic Latin paintings inside create a welcoming and lively atmosphere. The Saltillo tile flooring and bakery vibes make you feel like you've stepped off the street and into a charming Mexican bakery. When it comes to food, El Sol truly shines. The chips are made from scratch and are nothing short of amazing, perfectly complemented by salsa that might just be the best in Arizona. The carne asada here is a bit unique compared to other places but is absolutely perfecto. It's no wonder I find myself eating here two or three times a week. The option to order a burrito in a bowl without the tortilla and add an egg for a protein boost is a thoughtful touch that caters to various dietary preferences. The service at El Sol is as warm and inviting as the food. Being family-run, the attentiveness and friendliness of the staff make you feel like you're dining at a friend's house. They ensure you're well taken care of and add to the overall wonderful experience. El Sol is a delightful escape with its beautiful ambiance, exceptional food, and welcoming service. For its authenticity, flavor, and heartfelt hospitality, I'd give it a glowing 5 stars. It's a place you'll want to return to again and again. read more

El Sol Mexican Restaurant in Chandler is truly a hidden gem for authentic Mexican cuisine enthusiasts. The moment you walk in, you're greeted with the wonderful smells and scents of an authentic Mexican eatery. The menu boasts a variety of dishes that seem to capture the very essence of Mexico, but the standout for me was undoubtedly their Menudo. It was, without a hint of exaggeration, the best I've had in the valley. Rich, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned, served with corn tortillas or bread. Perfect for treating a hangover. The staff was friendly and attentive,. If you're in Chandler and craving authentic Mexican fare, El Sol is the place to be, they also have freshly baked pastries and snacks. Highly recommended! read more

Have been coming here for years, mostly for takeout and bakery items. Went for lunch the other day and ate there for the first time in many years. Service was outstanding as always and the food was fantastic! Had the shredded chicken chimi platter and it was perfect. Also, as many of you already know, they make the best salsa in the state! Paired with their homemade chips, the salsa even outshines their burrito's. We get their salsa at the local Costco usually every week and it's truly the best. Oh.... and their empanada's are excellent as well. read more

We had their breakfast burritos this morning and I have to say they are the best in this area. My wife had the chorizo and I had the potatoe egg and bacon. Awesome and authentic. The atmosphere is clean and inviting. The staff is friendly. The tortillas are fresh, they use real chorizo, and the salsa is great, but could use a little more spice, but I like really spicy food. I highly recommend this place. read more

I recently visited El Sol Mexican Cafe in Chandler, and it left a positive impression. The Sausage Breakfast Taco was a winner--juicy sausage wrapped in a warm tortilla. But the real star was the Chorizo Platter. The chorizo was perfectly seasoned, and the accompanying sauce was addictive. El Sol is a great breakfast spot for flavor enthusiasts. read more
