I was craving Mexican food and decided to try a new-to-me spot. I ordered the shrimp taco plate online before heading over. It was ready by the time I arrived 15 minutes later. There's plenty of parking. The staff was friendly and greeted me right away. Sol Azteca is a fast casual, counter service restaurant. There's ample seating indoor and out. My shrimp taco plate came with two tacos with a good amount of shrimp as well as a side of rice and a side of refried beans. It was very tasting and filling! I thoroughly enjoyed it and would return to try other menu items. read more

Sol Azteca Mexican Kitchen - Shrimp taco plate - Mexican Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

It's a fast food Mexican place so there is hardly any wait.. you seat yourself.. it was our first time. My husband and I ordered the same thing. Carne asada burrito which came with chipotle cream sauce, carne Asada, and pico. Also beans and we asked for no rice. We both had rice on the side with beans. The burrito was nice and big. The rice was really good. And the beans were mediocre. The burrito was good, except the only bad thing I would say it was a little too greasy, and when you bit into it, all the greasy juice came out. I'm not sure if we would go back maybe, to try something different. read more

I have found my new weekly craving! The beef asada tacos plate with a side of beans and rice is my go to. Salsa bar is my favorite too! I will douse my tacos in their avocado crema and roasted salsa every time. I love their staff, service is spot on. I will never get tired of coming here. It's on my permanent list of where I will take visitors (and myself). Absolutely delicious! read more

Food is very delicious and authentic. We were so excited to dig in that we forgot to get pictures. We tried the lunch special wet burro and the taco/tostada. Very full plates. Large portion of meat. Very hot salsa! Service was friendly and quick. It's a taco shop, but with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating to be comfortable. read more

Great little Mexican spot that doesn't disappoint. Visited again (probably 5th time or more) last night with friends. The staff never fails to make you feel welcome as soon as you walk in! Service is spot on. I'm sort of stuck on the creamy seafood with mushroom plate. Worth all the calories. This time we shared a desert - the Carlotta de limon which was delicious. Details in pic below! We also tried the Guava Pineapple drink which was light and perfect for a hot summer day! read more

I was looking for a quick lunch spot on my way out of the valley to golf in Gold Canyon and saw this place on Yelp with the great reviews. Authentic Mexican food sounded perfect and I knew good things were in store when I arrived at 11:30am on a Friday and all of inside and outside tables were full. The inside is quaint but has quite a few tables. They also have tables out front in the shade (to call it patio seating may be a stretch, just simple tables and chairs on the exterior of the entrance). You order your food at the counter and I didn't study the menu ahead of time but the ladies taking my order were patient with me. I ordered a shredded beef taco and a cheese enchilada with rice and beans. Nothing fancy for my first time as it's hard to golf on a full stomach! I found the only open table and then hit up the salsa bar. They have 4 or 5 different salsas/hot sauces and a few other goodies. I got a small cup of each sauce and all of them were quite good. My food was colorful, flavorful and just the right away to give me some energy without being lethargic. I could go on about a few other nice things but it seems most of East Mesa already knows about this place given the high scores on Yelp from a lot of reviewers. Nothing to prevent me from giving a 5* review at this time. I look forward to trying some more dishes in the future. read more

12/12/25 Parking 2/5 Holy Cow get me a tow truck Becky the lot is always packed! Atmosphere 4/5 Small inside dining area tightly arranged. Nothing fancy but comfortable. It totters between a fast food restaurant and full authentic Mexican food cusine. Service 5/5 Order Counter with table delivery. Susana assisted with our order and was friendly. Food 5/5 The food is the business and their authentic recipes are the real deal. Amazing everything! Far better than any fast food Mexican restaurant and rivals many Mexican big name eateries. Their salsa varieties are nice and I was pleasantly surprised at the fire coming from their Habanero sauce. Great flavor and perfect paring with their Carne Asada. It also works nicely as Habanero shooters . Dare you! We enjoyed a beans and rice dish and their Carne Asada burrito; both great flavor and offered another to go. We also ordered flan to share for dessert. Delicious, rich and perfect texture. Amazing for a quick meal Resturant. From Taco's to sizzling Fajitas Aztecs has it covered authentically!

Absolutely delicious and my new favorite. I will be back again soon. The fajitas are my favorite. read more

OUTSTANDING!!! We usually get their enchiladas trio plate but today we felt like trying their tacos and Azteca burrito and it was the best food we've ever had. The meat had such good flavor, the lettuce and tomatoes were crisp and fresh and the salsa bar is always delicious. Equally amazing was how clean the entire place was, one lady was cleaning the windows - they were spotless and the floor was shiny and clean. Even the legs of the tables didn't have dust or a spec of anything in them. It just makes you feel good about eating there. The service is fast, friendly and very welcoming. We highly, highly recommend a visit here, you will not be disappointed with anything you get from the menu! read more

We went on taco Tuesday, there was a good crowd. We ordered a variety of tacos to try, carne, chicken, carnitas. We were not impressed, the meat was chewy & the salsas from the salsa bar were all watered down & flavorless. We will not return. read more

Best chicken fajitas hands down!! Taco Tuesday has awesome prices and an incredible amount of food for the value. $10 can't beat it!!

Absolutely annoyed at myself for not trying this place sooner! Daughter and I had two different types of enchiladas and an Al Pastor quesadilla. Great food, very quick. Will definitely be back soon!! read more

Great food, healthy options, and appropriately priced. Quick service. I always order to go.

If you are in the mood for some good flavor and authentic Mexican...visit Sol Azteca. Food was really good. I got a chili relleno, cheese enchilada, double beans and added a fried egg on top. I also got Christmas sauce (red and green). I got the Lunch special and it around 14 dollars. Service was really good. Only gripe was the beverages machines, all the drinks were watered down and the horchata was thick and super sweet. Had to toss it. Otherwise, food is on point. read more

Found this place through Yelp at 4.8 stars and it was definitely worth it. Not much ambience, just great food. Well worth the trip and definitely will come back here again. Carnitas were moist, but crispy shredded beef taco was pretty good. They also had chicken Tinga, which is fairly rare and that was also pretty good. The chips were light thin and weren't very great, but when you consider everything else, who cares? read more

My wife and I came - was on our list of places to try. I'd say "we will be back", but we've already been twice this week! Loves it! Not a huge place - I can see how it can get busy. Order at the counter, and they'll bring out to you. I saw a lot of things I want to try, but started with the nachos, pictured. Also had the asada fajitas the next day. Their meat is near perfect. Nice cuts, tender and not dry at all. Definitely a fan. Enjoyed both the nachos and the fajitas. Good serving sizes. Also, loved the staff! They were super friendly and welcoming. They offered to take my empty plate as I was about to. They also bud farewell to guests as they left. Felt like a really warm family place. Well lit, fun decor, clean. Very enjoyable - will be back! read more

Have ordered from here a couple times truly delicious!! Nice to have a non-chain spot in the East Mesa area. I wish I had pics but each time we dug into the food too fast. Really enjoyed the street tacos, enchiladas and the horchata. Excited to continue to try more menu items, definitely give them a try if you're on the fence. read more

My regular go-to in this area was closed so I found this well-rated spot and despite it being around 2 pm on a weekday it was quite busy. Always a good sign! It's a counter-serve spot but plenty of tables inside and out and a pretty extensive menu. I got tacos and randomly ordered a tamale to go for later to try it. I think they wanted the tamale fresh as they didn't seem to start making it until I was done with my food. I ended up regretting ordering it as I just wanted to be on my way post-tacos but was waiting around for this impulse tamale. I enjoyed the carne asada street tacos for the most part but found the corn tortillas on the thick side. It looked like most people had burritos around so I would try those next. Salsa bar had really good salsas! The tamale was fine but I found the red sauce on it pretty heavy and sweet. Not for me but just a matter of preference. Staff was nice and restaurant seemed very clean. read more

So, my wife and I were just in the area and were craving tacos. This place is freaking amazing y'all. I got the Molcajete and it was literally the best one I've had. I couldn't believe the price of it for what I got. I'm on a GLP1 shot so I couldn't finish the whole thing but you know my fat a$$ took it home and had it for supper and for fourth meal too. This is a hidden gem. I highly recommend this place. read more

My mom and I came here for dinner. Glad we did! I got the crummy taco plate which came with rice and beans. I asked for both chicken and beef tacos. Both were great- seasoned very well and was indeed crispy. We also got the horchata. Delicious-not too sweet just right. Near the end we found bits and pieces of apple and coconut. Yum! Definitely recommend coming here for anything in the menu. My mom got the enchilada and she enjoyed hers as well. read more

Food is flavorful and is more authentic Mexican food than most of chain restaurants. Service is good and the restaurant is always spotless.

Excellent food. Good service. Very friendly staff. The best crispy tacos I've ever had.

Sol is a phenomenal with great food and a great atmosphere. What really sets this apart from some of the other places is their chips and queso and the Arizona burrito. Really high quality stuff. I also love their fish taco, delicious. Really make my nipples hard. Can't wait to see what they do next! Great service too. read more

Ordered Tinga enchiladas, carne fajita burrito, and chips and salsa but received grilled chicken enchiladas. Salsa was very very watery so it was hard to pick up a lot with the chips and enchilada sauce was slightly sweet, rice and beans were decent. The chips were good, thin and crispy and the burrito my husband ordered was pretty decent with a good grill taste. I would personally not order here again and will stick to other Mexican restaurants read more

Wow! Hole-in-the-wall yumminess!! The Horchata was the best I've ever had. It was unique with pieces of apple and coconut. Tasted like liquid Cinnabon! For my meal I had the Talapia and shrimp with a creamy/cheesy mushroom sauce. And were those homemade corn tortillas?! Yumm! My husband had the Nachos with steak (I stole a little piece) Soo good! It was busy but we got a seat right away. Would love to come back soon. read more

We live not far from here and finally decided to give Sol Azteca a try. Very glad to find a quick taco (my favorite) place close to home! Service was friendly and prices fair. It's a small place and many people did pick up but we found a table and ate inside (there is limited seating outside too. Looking forward to other visits and trying different things.

Updating my review since it's been a few years and I've been back many times since the last one. The horchata is still a favorite and they've made some changes to the menu, including making the digital version MUCH more legible (I've got "old man eyes," but the font and color scheme now is significantly easier to read than it was before) The Mole Poblano is consistently fantastic and service was fast and friendly. While it is never really crowded when we've been there, it does seem to keep busy, including a good amount of take-out business. The salsas at the bar are flavorful and offer a good variety of tastes and spice levels. read more

I found this gem thanks to Yelp. Hubby and I finally checked it out tonight for dinner. We walked in, two chicks were in front of us ordering and no other customers. It was an early time for dinner. Maybe 5pm. We looked over the menu and decided on these two meals. After ordering we went the immaculately clean salsa bar and geared up. Our food was brought out us. Decent time. No too long of a wait and not so short you questioned if they cooked your food to order. They definitely do. By now this place is getting busy! The patrons won't stop coming in. I said to my husband "thank goodness we got here when we did" it's small so tables are limited. The food. Oh the food. It was sooooo good! The shrimps were cooked perfectly and seasoned perfectly on both dishes. The sauce on the mushrooms seafood platter my hubby got was great! I don't like mushrooms but the sauce was excellent and he loved the fish so much. He literally cleaned the plate, lol. My salad, the lettuce was so fresh, the corn, beans and fresh cheese were really good too. The dressing was great! Salsas are really good and tasty too. I love they tell you what's hot and what's not. We will be back. The service was excellent, the food was excellent , the restaurant was excellent z it was all excellent. Thank you! read more

We visited in the early afternoon. There was a steady flow of customers, both eat-in and take-out. We were greated at the counter by friendly staff members. We had the classic burrito (carnitas) and the seafood burrito (tilapia). Both were quite flavorful, with a great combination of ingredients. The refried beans on the "plate" were rather bland. read more
