I really wanted to love this place, but I was unimpressed. Supposedly I heard this used to be the place for authentic Mexican food when the owners parents ran it. My relatives, used to come all the time. I just happened to be in the area for a Dr. appt and wanted to get a quick bite. Ladies that took the order were cordial . Food was not even sub-par. Portions were huge but I took 3 bites and had to say no more. I ordered the chalupa. It was that bad. Beans tasted like they were from a can , carnesada tasted boiled and cheese was ick as well. Booo ! Unfortunately I will not be returning.

I can make this at home. They customer service is horrible.

I got here, there was no customers. If you know la Perla from back in the day. You get the meat potatoes, sour cream and cheese and you could pick other stuff to add. This place, they say do you want small or large. I get a small, they filled my bowl with a lot of potatoes, gave me a lil bit of cheese and sour cream. I told the guy, this is why I came and a lot of people come here, because they want it to taste like La Perla. I told him I was happy with it, to give more meat. I wanted more cheese and sour cream but don't ask. He looked at me crazy and said, well we are not our cousins from La Perla. He gave extra meat and said, he won't do that again. This will be my last time coming here. Everyone knows that La Perla was known for their hefty portions. They stingy here. They also made my food to go, and I dined in. I never come back.

I've been going to El Sol since we moved here 20 years ago and they are always consistent. The food- wide variety of items from quesadillas, flautas, fajitas, enchiladas and burritos etc. we love the flautas. And I got he chicken enchiladas with rice and beans. Also their potatoes con chorizo are delicious. The staff are friendly and accommodating and the inside is quaint and festive.

Order a barito after a long time but it's so disappointing taste is really bad and the salsa was just like water

Menu as of 8/30/2024

Tasty Enchiladas, Friendly Owners, Spacious Seating! I don't normally order enchiladas from any Mexican restaurants, but always ordered them here! They're quite nostalgic to me because my parents always got them for us growing up. I ordered other items off their menu in the past which were also good, but it's their enchiladas that I really enjoy. I recently ordered the 2 chicken enchiladas combination plate with rice and potatoes. Enchiladas are rolled in corn tortillas with shredded chicken covered with their flavorful mole sauce and melted cheese. The rice is cooked to perfection and seasoned well. Their chorizo potatoes are real good and packed with flavor! If you're craving for some enchiladas, look no further and give theirs a try!

Food is mediocre. I like the ambiance. Staff is average. But this restaurant is definitely involved in the community which is great.

The food is actually pretty good, no thrills like other restaurants, but annoying when they screw up my order.

Food is bland and Salsa is boring. They need to spice up their recipes. The El Sol in Pt. Richmond is a little better!

Besides all the amazing foot plates they have here One the…read morebest Street Tacos I've ever had are here on their 1st Location their street tacos are so good I can't have enough every time I come here and eat. Over all one of the best Mexican food restaurants in the area of Hercules and Benicia Ca. Would highly recommend to my Family and Friends.

Isn't it illegal in CA to be charged a higher amount than the listed price? Well, let's start…read morethere. There are 2 menus plastered inside the restaurant: one on the window, the other on the wall leading to the cashier. Both menus have different listed prices. Neither of which we were fairly charged for on our items. Had we known of the true price of the items, we probably would not have eaten here. And because it's illegal to do this to customers. Additionally, they charge for chips and salsa, but they offer it to you like it's free. I gotta pay for what's typically free at other taquerias? AND it should be free because the wait for the food took insanely long. The food is served fresh out the kitchen and the portions are generous, I'll give them that. These qualities don't make up for the illegal charges and outrageous prices. I'm honestly surprised how busy this place gets given these things. There are so many other great, affordable, and HONEST taquerias in the surrounding area. Fool me once, shame on you. Never again. Oh, and if they are charging more than what is listed, you would think they can afford a remodel or have the place more clean. Instead, they opened a new location in Benicia.
