We moved to Iowa from Colorado 2 years ago and are still looking for Mexican food. A guy from…read moreMexico doing excavation work at our house recommended El Sol. Stopped for late lunch.

Good service. Small town Mexican restaurant that has a surprisingly extensive menu. Alas, they were…read moreout of tamales when we visited, which was a disappointment. We had the chicken enchiladas and the Mexican street tacos. Both were good - but the beef on the street tacos was a bit dry. Once we added salsa and guacamole, they tasted pretty darn authentic. The serving sizes were average and the prices were slightly higher than we expected - with a tip and water to drink the bill came to $35.00. Not a deal breaker, but something to be aware of if you're a first time visitor. If we are in the area again, we'd definitely revisit. Especially during the week when the lunch menu is in effect....with more value priced plates. Recommended.

We were instantly greated with a friendly hello and smile. Service was fast as we were seated in a booth and were given our menus right away. Fresh salsa and hot chips came soon after as a complimentary side. I decided on a express chicken burrito and my other half decided on a chicken quesidilla. It seemed like it only took 5 min and our food was already served. Hot and fresh. My burrito was big. It was stuffed with chicken and rice and topped with fresh lettuce and tomatoes. There was a layer of sauce on top with a slight cumin flavor. The shredded chicken was moist and had a wonderful Mexican seasoning that enhanced every bite. It was perfect. My other half loved his quesidilla. It was simple but very tasty. No complaints. Again, service was super fast and friendly. I would definitely visit here again If I were passing through.

They are super friendly and the atmosphere is perfect. Definitely will make the 7 hour round trip again just to eat here. Go here.

It was a little slow on actually getting seated but to be fair the gal was working solo. That being…read moresaid, it wasn't busy when we stopped by. The food was amazing, the restaurant was very clean and nicely decorated. We ordered the Tacos De Barria's and the Street Tacos Pastor...you get four of each and we split them two and two for the each of us. The Pastor Street Tacos had the perfect amount of char on the meat and the little sweetness from the pineapple was perfect...good quac sauce to boot! The Tacos De Barria were the first we've had up in the area and they were outstanding! With the barria dipping sauce adding even more to the flavor! Service was better once we were actually seated and we'll definitely be back again as the menu has alot of options that look delicious!
