I have been here twice! We wanted to make sure our first AMAZING experience was repeatable! YES! The great food & great service happened again! I had the Steak Rancheros. Because I love to dip my perfectly done steak in Ranchero Sauce, I order a bowl of their Ranchero Sauce from their Enchiladas Supreme dish. A perfect combination! He ordered the Carnitas. Since he orders that frequently, his opinion, compared to other Mexican restaurants, is a solid opinion. He LOVED it at Plaza Del Sol! Note, the chips and salsa they provide when you first sit down is ABOVE & BEYOND what other restaurants do! You get the regular sauce, then you get three other sauces! The bean dip is our favorite! I am excited for everyone to eat here just to try their sampler of dips that go great with the chips! This is a must for anyone with a craving for Mexican! We are already excited to schedule visit #3! See you all soon? Most Sincerely! read more

The food has always been good! But I do always order the same thing. The chips and the many dips they serve are wonderful. It's also nice and bright and not dark and dingy like some other places. Service can be a little slow sometimes, but my food has always been good. read more

Walked in to a practically empty restaurant, seated promptly and brought chips and multiple dips almost instantly. Staff were very friendly and attentive- our chip bowl never emptied! Every thing was served hot and was delicious! Best of all, our total bill was $29 for two entrees, small cheese dip, and two draft domestic beer. read more

Had dinner here on Memorial Day. Most of the booths around the outside were full but plenty of tables open so I would say not too busy. The food was fairly average overall although there were a couple of nice flourishes, especially the multiple bowls of various dips and salsa that came with the chips. Service was excellent throughout, so that's the 4th star read more

This place gets BUSY. You see the staff running around and checking in with all the tables, so excellent service. The food was okay but not memorable to me...I'd most likely go back. read more

Service is the best- very attentive! The food is the best starting with all the salsa they give you. The restaurant and bathrooms are very, very clean. Thumbs up all the way. read more

Plaza Del Sol - Fajitas for two - Mexican Near Me - Mount Airy, North Carolina

Fast lunch service. Good flavor to the food without being over seasoned. Reasonable prices.

Wonderful service and wonderful food. Upon walking into the restaurant you immediately notice how clean it is. We've went (2) Saturdays in a row now. The chicken in the chimichangas could use a little more seasoning, but other than that it tasted fantastic! ALL mixed drinks on Saturdays are supposed to be $2.99 a piece. Last Saturday they rang them up correctly, but yesterday they charged me $6.99 for each drink. That's really the only reason they're getting 4 stars instead of 5. Last Saturday the mixed drinks were very consistent with the taste and alcohol content. Yesterday they were overly strong. So strong that I was borderline drunk off of just one. Overall, the staff is very nice and the food is good. Menu is a little unorganized. I had to search high and low for burritos and chimichangas. read more

Wed. August 26, 2020. 6pm. Restaurant less than 10% filled. Very nice decor inside and out. Parking lot clean. Five stars. Was promptly greeted and sat at booth. Chips and sauces arrived shortly after. The five sauces were Traditional, White cheese, Mango, Avocado, and Bean. Tasted them all, preferred the Traditional. Mrs. liked the White. See photo. Mrs. had $2.99 margarita that was OK. I ordered a Blue Moon and when asked agreed to large, thinking large would be 16oz instead of 12. The large was 32oz and $12.99. Wife ordered the Taco salad with shrimp. Taco shell broken in several places. Lettuce, tomatoes, sour cream... were adequate. Shrimp was not evenly seasoned. Some with no seasoning, some were perfect. I ordered number 11 combo. One taco, burrito, enchilada along with beans or rice. Food was extremely bland. Could not tell difference between burrito and enchilada. Contents were unseasoned ground beef wrapped in tortilla and covered with sauce. In addition to no seasonings, I received no beans or rice. Two stars on food. Mentioned to wife we should stop by Taco Bell so I could even a taco with some taste. We will not be returning. Three stars. Two for food, five for decor. There must be something on the menu that is seasoned. We did not find it. read more

This is a very good restaurant that has gotten even better the last few months. Had fair service there in 2023 but the latest experience was great. The food was very good as usual and I confirmed they make their own chips daily...very fresh. The salsa varieties were also good and seem to be improved. This is now one of my favorites in the area. Ialso recommend LINDA VISTA in King if you are ever up that way. It's a small restaurant but the food, the prices, and the people are very good. If you ever travel through Morganton, try La SALSAS. read more

We were in town for our anniversary and had a special lunch at Plaza Del Sol. Food is delicious and wine is super reasonable and good. We needed to record a video after lunch so found a quiet spot in the bar with soft music playing. Just a delightful experience!! read more

This place opened recently. Very nice inside. Before the meal, you get chips & salsa, like most Mexican restaurants, but they also give you a bowl of bean dip that was tasty. Me and my wife shared an order of fajitas (chicken & steak combo), and they were good. You either got rice or beans with the fajitas. All the other Mexican restaurants I've been too, give you both. Service was very good. Prices are on the high side. You're paying for the atmosphere. read more

Ate here for dinner with my little girl. Was seated immediately. The waiter was great. He kept my drink full and check in often. The food was amazing as usual. I would definitely recommend if you looking for good Mexican food! read more

This wS an amazing meal. Figured I would try something different. Let me tell you they did no disappoint. The Seafood is to die for....well I think so.... read more

So, my family and I have been coming to this restaurant since it opened, but my experience there last night (and on several occasions beforehand) made me really want to write this review. First of all, I really want to like this place because when we first started coming here service was amazing and the food was big portions, well-seasoned, and a decent price. Lately though the best way to describe the restaurant is inconsistent. The service upon opening was very fast and efficient, and we often had drinks, chips and salsa, and out entrées out within 15 minutes, and the whole meal took around 45 minutes (great for when we wanted to sit down but didn't have a lot of time). Last night, with only 6-7 tables filled our whole visit, food and chips took 5 minutes, our orders were being taken 15 minutes in, food arrived almost 25 minutes into the visit, and we were there for an hour. For many sit-down restaurants in Mt Airy that is great, but for Plaza Del Sol this was oddly slow. The poor waiter also forgot to bring salt when we asked for it, bring refills for a majority of the meal, and never put in our order for a peach margarita. The most common problem we encounter is we will order a margarita with 1800 gold tequila, and we get charged for it, but we'll watch and the drink is made with Jose Cuervo instead, so we decided it was best not to bother after it never came. Our problem with the service was not really so much our server though, but the staff as a whole. Our waiter last night ran across the restaurant working hard while all the other waitresses were hanging out in the party room or the kitchen. More than once you could hear them cutting up and goofing off, and usually I honestly could not care less, but there was obviously work that needed to be done (like 2 out of 5 bathroom stalls being unusable in the ladies room and trash on the bathroom floor). The poor bartender wouldn't stay behind the bar for more than 5 minutes either, and even then had his phone in his hands half the time, and he kept leaving the bar to try to see what all the waitresses were doing. Again, I usually would not care, but he left a bottle of Jose Cuervo out on the bar top the entire time we were there, and anyone could have walked over there and grabbed it and left. It is actually a very illegal mistake to make, and paired with the slow wait times, lack of servers on the floor most of the time, and overall dead and underwhelming atmosphere, I would not recommend the place based on service or atmosphere at all. This is not to say the atmosphere is always bad, sometimes the lively music and packed room makes for a fun dining atmosphere, and even service is like it used to be occasionally but again inconsistency. It is also worth noting that we saw no takeout orders leave the kitchen, on a night when many restaurants are packed, and they would usually be swamped. Personally, I would like to see more effort put into the call-in service because some nights I have called 30+ times and someone will pick up the phone and immediately hang up or just not answer. Other times the ticket is not wrung up correctly and a large food order will be all messed up, this can happen anywhere, but it just seems to happen a lot here. There also isn't a great designated system for pick-ups, you get brought to the back register if you come in and it's at the kitchen door with nowhere to stand, or you pull up to the side door and wait for someone to come out, I usually recommend going to the side door and calling though. Food on the other hand is a little less inconsistent than service. Before your meal, you are served endless chips and five types of dips: bean dip, salsa verde, mango salsa, tomato-based salsa, and white sauce. Last night we ordered the two spinach quesadilla special, the Plaza Del Sol Cheese Steak, and side orders of beans and rice. The quesadillas are never overly cheesy, and the spinach is always cooked well, but everything else we ordered could have benefited from a good amount of seasoning and a little less grease. Overall, nothing really amazed us, but other members of our family have more extensively tried the menu, and have found things they really love, so maybe a recommendation is in order if you visit. Again, I want to like this place, the food isn't the best in town, but they spent a lot of money upgrading the interior and with a little better management I believe it can be a really great family restaurant with something for everyone. As it is now though I would not in good faith recommend it to anyone coming into town without a lot of reservations about what they should expect. Three stars off for inconsistent service, food, and dining atmosphere and experience. read more

The service was amazing! The food on the other hand...was mediocre at best, depending on what you get, I got the beef quesadilla: which was just ground beef (that I chose) wrapped in a small tortilla, with large sides of refried refried beans (yes twice), and lettuce. The salsa/queso dishes they bring, I would not recommend, you have to ask for queso, it does not come with the chips, the salsa is more like ketchup with tomatoes in it read more

Plaza Del Sol - Entrance of restaurant - Mexican Near Me - Mount Airy, North Carolina

Heavy hitter no doubt. Has to be one of the best restaurants in Mount Airy... excellent service and food.

*Nod my head* :( Truly disappointed with this place. Had waited impatiently for the doors to open to yet another flop in mayberry. First off the waitress was a bit on the slow side on... pretty much everything, refills, etc. Once we finally recieved our food it was less than mediocre, prob. Could have microwaved a "Jose ole" and been more satisfied. Lastly, I specifically requested no onions on my "torta" and as you can tell from my posted picture... you get the point. What makes that even worse is with me showing the waitress the unwanted onions she hilariously tried to tell me there was no onions on it, wasnt sure if I wanted to laugh or cry from the stupidity. Point I'm trying to make is if I were you I'd visit any of the other fine mexican restaurants in town before this one. read more

We LOVE this place, the food the staff and everything else is perfect! Highly highly recommend this place!

I went to eat with my entire family however I will only speak for my personal meal. I ordered a taco salad and a margarita. The taco salad meat had absolutely no seasoning on it. It was ground meat mixed with beans but not flavored at all. The margarita was the worst ever. I asked to swap it for another type of margarita and it was equally as bad. read more

The atmosphere is very bright and cheerful. They have a huge menu, with lots of options I haven't seen on a menu. It was absolutely delicious! It is a new favorite for my family! read more

TLDR: Bland Food. Okay Service. Skip over this place Service was okay. refills were given but not always right away and the restaurant had barely any guests. Food was all bland except for the sauces served with the chips. El Marino had items not listed on menu and I asked for no oysters and was only given shrimp and scallops, mind you it was supposed to have octopus, clam, shrimp, scallops, and oysters in a mango salsa. there was also no salsa. fajitas had no flavor or salt. my father who eats almost anything was not pleased at all because his dish had no seasoning either. Alcoholic beverages tasted like just mixer. would skip this restaurant if looking for flavor. read more

We tried Plaza del sol on our recent stay in Mt Airy, this was the worst Mexican food I've EVER had, greasy hamburger on both taco's & Enchiladas, bland food, the refried beans tasted bad, I feed my dog better food than this place serves, I won't go back, I only write reviews to warn others of bad food or service, the service wasn't good either, stay away or waste your money, don't say you weren't warned. $48 for two plates & two coronas. read more

Just ate there for the first time. Service was bad. Waitress didn't have a clue, and didn't understand English very well.

We will go back. read more
