Sol Mexican Grill is my new go-to taco place in DC. I happened upon it on a walk from Friendship…read moreHeights and it was just bustling with people. I always take note of very crowded places that don't seem like tourist-y. Sol has something special. There are 2 dedicated regular employees that I have seen every time I go that whip up the most delicious tacos and quesadillas in just 15 minutes. I've been here 3x and have never been disappointed. The quesa-birria is the star of the show here- my goodness- you get 3 with fresh limes and consomme dip. Truly worth it to come just for this. They also have fresh juices- my friend is a big fan of the Hibiscus. When I ordered nachos one time, he loaded them up like 7 inches high. You get the bang for your buck...and it's truly so delicious. Highly highly recommend.

I'm glad it was not a piece of chewy/tough meat like most taco places. It was seasoned well. The al pastor was prepared the same way. Both the green and red sauces were decent. If you are looking for something with more spice, ask for the 3rd sauce they offer. The rice and beans were bland, nothing special to them. I also ordered a horchata, unfortunately it was just another cinnamon milk, this is a preference drink. There are multiple ways of preparing a horchata and this one even though it was bottled nicely just didn't do it for me. Overall a decent experience for lunch, service was quick and everything was cooked well. Carne asada taco - 7/10 Al pastor 6.5/10 Horchata 4/10

I came here for a quick dinner today and wow, what a find! The restaurant immediately reminded me…read moreof a taco place in Miami I loved, which already set the right tone. The hostess was very sweet and I got to take advantage of the nice weather and sit outside. It's taco Tuesday, so the hostess and the server both reminded me it was "buy one get one free" - a great deal! I decided to go big and try four tacos, and all of them were very good! I'm from Southern California, so usually am picky about tacos, and some of these really exceeded my expectation. Al pastor: very tender and flavorful. A teeny bit dry, but perfect with the red salsa they brought for the table. Beef birria: nice and crispy tortilla, the consommé was very fragrant and not too salty, and they were generous with the beef. As normal with birria, it's a bit heavier/oilier, so one was enough, but it's very good! Baja fish: probably one of the favs! I made the mistake of leaving it to last, so the outside of the fish was a little less crispy, but if you eat it sooner, that shouldn't be an issue. The piece of fish was very large and cooked perfectly (very flaky). The flavor was great, especially with that red salsa. Avocado tostada: generous toppings, great flavor balance, fun crunch with very soft toppings. If you've ever eaten a tostada, you know you have to approach it like I imagine people approach skittish horses: with total confidence, even if you know it'll end up as a mess on the place. Otherwise, service was very quick and friendly and they didn't come and bother me during the meal, which I love. It really filled up while I was eating, such a testament to how good this place is. I definitely can't wait to come back!

What really stood out was the customer service. I showed up about 15 minutes late to pick up my order, and they told me the food had gotten cold. Instead of just handing it to me, they made a fresh batch so I could enjoy it the way it was meant to be served. That kind of care and attention to customers is hard to find. Great food, great people, and a great experience overall. I'll definitely be back and would highly recommend giving this place a try!

We started with the Shrimp & Mango Ceviche, which was incredibly refreshing. The combination of avocado, mango pico, jalapeño, radish, cilantro, and fresh lime juice created the perfect balance of sweet, citrusy, and just the right amount of heat. The Elote was another standout. The grilled corn topped with their signature sauce, cotija cheese, and guajillo powder was creamy, savory, and packed with flavor. It's a must-order. For tacos, I tried the Ancho Shrimp Taco, which was topped with chile-lime sauce, red cabbage, and pico de gallo. It was flavorful, well-balanced, and one of my favorites from the meal. I also had the Carne Asada Street Tacos with pico de gallo added, and they were simple, fresh, and delicious. Another favorite was the Blackened Salmon Taco. The blackened salmon paired perfectly with the jalapeño sauce, red cabbage, charred corn, and cilantro, making every bite full of flavor. I also ordered the Chicken Rice Bowl, which came with pico de gallo, charred corn, crema, and guajillo sauce. It was filling, well-seasoned, and a great option if you're looking for something other than tacos. To top it all off, I tried one of their margaritas. They offer them frozen or on the rocks, and I highly recommend the frozen version--it was refreshing and the perfect pairing with the meal. The service was friendly, the food came out quickly, and everything exceeded my expectations. With multiple locations throughout the DMV, Fish Taco is an easy recommendation for anyone looking for fresh tacos, great margaritas, and a casual spot that's consistently worth visiting.
