    food being prepared in the kitchen
    Bobbi D.

    We go here at least once a week! They know my kids by name, and they remember my order! The service is always great! The food is all tasty! I am partial to the burritos, because then I have lunch the next day as well! It's perfect for a group of four because the tables have four chairs, but there are a couple sets of tables. Love this place!

    Chorizo Quesadilla
    Larry M.

    I noticed this build your own taco spot while on another review a few weeks ago. A mental note was made to GET THERE!! So I did just that, & had an interesting customer service experience *see below*. . Where I am: @solmexicangrilldc . Location Reviewed: 1251 H St., N.E. Washington D.C. . Menu Includes: *Build your own taco, quesadilla, bowl, chimichanga, and/or burrito* Proteins-Bacon, Turkey Bacon, Carnitas, Chorizo, Chicken, Steak, Veggies. Toppings-Corn, Cheese, Sour Cream, Guac, Salsa Verde & Roja, Pico de Gallo, Lettuce, Chipotle Aioli, Cilantro, Onions, Black Beans, White or Yellow Rice (Corn or Flour tortilla option). . Items Reviewed: Taco's=$3.60 Their Chicken Taco (flour, chicken, with corn salsa, cheese, Pico, cilantro, and onion). DECENT. With all the toppings, it was still flavorless. Their Fish Taco (flour with cabbage chipotle aioli, avocado, corn & Pico $4). DELICIOUS. It was good...that's it. Their Carnitas Taco (flour with cheese, peppers, & corn). LIKE THAT!! The pork was well seasoned. Their Chimichanga (with chicken beans, rice, & corn $9.96). STAMP!! Crispy, meaty, well blended. Their Chimichanga (with steak cheese, & beans $9.96). STAMP with salsa verde, sour cream, & Pico on it!! Their Chorizo Quesadilla (chorizo, cheese, corn, Pico onion, & cilantro $9.81). STAMP!! Hot, seasoned chorizo, excellent!! Their Chips & Queso ($3.96). DECENT. The cheese solidified quickly. The chips were ok. . Customer Service: First time there, they rushed me to order with nobody else in line behind me, & got my order wrong. I didn't get the corn tortillas, salsa Roja, & another taco I told them I wanted. . Online Navigation: Super Easy . Parking: Rough . Recommendations: The Quesadillas, & their chimichangas. =STAMP =LIKE THAT =DELICIOUS =DECENT =PASS =NAH #Bigschlimsreviews

    To go margaritas
    Chell H.

    I went to this place because I saw an Instagram post Of their margaritas. So I decided to get a few. The margaritas are actually really good & strong but I gave a 3 star rating because the workers were not friendly at all. The vibe was off. Anywho, I did my part in supporting a small business during the pandemic.

    Strawberry margarita
    Willie R.

    I came here with friends one night and am pleased to see this option on H Street. Note that there are two entrances--the one on the left is to the restaurant and the one on the right is the takeout area with a small seating space. We grabbed a table in the semi-outdoor space (which is nice!). We were quickly brought out chips, although they were cold and tasted old. The salsa was OK, although I wouldn't say it had loads of flavor. I must say that the menu prices are very affordable by DC standards. While the 3 tacos option was listed under appetizers, they served as a full meal in their own right. I had two chicken tacos, which had more cilantro than I would have gone for but were overall solid. The third was a carne asada taco, and the meat was well marinated and not dry. The strawberry margarita I had was fine, but nothing to write home about. All things said, I was neither impressed nor unimpressed with Sol.

    Chips and Queso Dip
    Danielle G.

    The food was EXCELLENT! I had it delivered for lunch and it arrived hot and tasty! The queso was a nice blend of creamy cheese and a great compliment to the house made chips. The taco was a little dry, but it was due to me not selecting a sauce or "wet" topping. I enjoyed carnita taco and wish I had the option to have shrimp as my meat option as I build my taco.

    Overall, I enjoy their food. I eat vegan when I purchase from them and it hits the spot.

    Food was good and great service. It's a small space so it got busy quick but it's definitely worth the wait.

    Years ago, behind U Street Music Hall (RIP), there used to be a taco spot in a row home called El…read moreChilango. It used to be the spot for me and my friends to grab a quick bite and everything about it was exceptional: who can say no to super affordable yet authentic street tacos served on paper plates. Sadly, it closed. Last night, I think I stumbled across a taco spot to finally take the wheel from our dearly missed El Chilango. Taqueria Al Lado is very no frills and a tiny spot, but it has tacos that make your heart sing. My friend recommended the Al Pastor so I got that with a chicken taco as well. Both were super flavorful, fatty, but really fresh and well balanced. The key here is simplicity and they do it perfectly. Each taco was about $4 or $5 if I remember correctly, so it's a great spot to grab food if you're trying to ball on a budget. We got the guac, too, which was good but not life changing; the fresh chips, however, were spot on. As far as service goes, we went on a Friday and it was super busy, but there were plenty of servers if we needed something (just had to be vocal). I will definitely be coming back!

    I stopped in here as I walked home from an appointment on H street because the music was great and…read morethe smells were even better. The ordering process was very easy. I picked a spot and was quickly approached by one of the several servers to place my order. I ordered two tacos, rice, and a beer. The food came within ten minutes and was hot. The vegan birria taco was delicious. It was a mishmash of veggies and tasted amazing. The fish taco was good, but the vegan option was my favorite. I had hoped the rice would be seasoned, but it was just white rice. The overall restaurant vibe was very fun with loud music. It was crowded but there were still several tables available. Checkout process was easy as well. A happy little find I will be sure to come back to.

It reminds you of a vacation with the dim lighting, decor, and artwork! I really love sitting outside on the patio, even in the winter! Drinks: I've had the red bell pepper lemonade (made it sweet) and it's unique and refreshing! The margarita is a classic choice I love and I've had the frozen pineapple margarita (a FAVE!!). Food: My #1 go to is the El Presidente guacamole! It has crab on top of fresh guac and comes with chips. The chips aren't impressive but they're good. The guac with crab really is the main attraction. I like the wings too! We use the dipping sauce that comes on the side as well. The crab tostada is so good! My friend enjoys the hotdog every time he visits! The new item we tried was the taco slider with a jalepeno sauce, also very good! They kept asking for more!

Idk how this is possible but it was my first time having chilaquiles and huevos rancheros so I don't have a reference point but either way I thought they were great. The steak con huevo was the best and the avocado huarache toast con huevo ties with the French toast for second place. The only thing we weren't huge fans of were the churros but I get the feeling we were approaching our limit by the time we made it to those. I really enjoyed the size of the menu which gave plenty of options to sample just like I like, but without getting too overwhelmed. Some menus are huge and it's great but everything gets lost in the sauce. At the end we found out they have a cafe essentially making it a one stop shop between the bar, the dining area (with the open kitchen), and the coffee shop. They participate in inkind so if you like to save money when you treat yourself, get on the app!

But let me tell you the food was Sooooooo Gooooood once we got it. Because I ate so much before my main course that after I finished the main course which was three Jerk Chicken Tacos.... I had the meat sweats + we had drinks too of course. Overall the food was delicious as well as the Salsa that came with the Chips. It has an upstairs dining room as well, and part of it is outside which was pretty cool. But like I said; The food & drinks was bomb, So you'll definitely be doing your stomach some justice.

Let me tell you .....GET THE SMOKED tacos!!!! The jerk chicken taco was very flavorful, but it was only chicken, sauce, and avocados. I was expecting a little more inside (onions, cabbage, etc.). The quesadilla came out covered in pico, cream, and cilantro. Looked more like a salad to me, lol. This restaurant is a very nice spot and the overall atmosphere is not bad at all. I would definitely recommend this place. Just don't come if your in a rush and hurry to eat. Sit back and enjoy......
