I went for dinner on a quiet week night. There were a few carryout orders that came through while I was there. Otherwise I had the place to myself. It's a relaxed/ cozy kind of place moreso than fancy. Food (Texano plate) was yummy and fast, and the portions were generous. The server was very friendly and served customers in both English and Spanish. They had signs for a kids deal (I think kids eat free on Tuesdays if I remember right). Definitely give this place a try if you're in the neighborhood. read more

Always nice and quiet with excellent service. Haven't had a meal here yet that I didn't love! read more

I love the food here, but am charged different prices depending on who is working. The middle aged man charges more than the woman who works the front. I was once charged $6 for a side of rice. The beans are delicious. I also love the sopes , rice, burritos, and tacos. read more

carne guisada was amazing and reasonably priced, especially for the amount i was served! service was also great. quesadillas with bistec were pretty pricey in my opinion ($4 up charge to add the meat, so $17 total) but my partner said they were delicious. beans and rice were also very moist! read more

Taqueria El Sol De Mexico - carne guisada - Mexican Near Me - Bryan, Texas

Ate here for the first time. We ordered the grilled chicken fajita, grilled beef fajita, chicken fajita with cheese and guacamole, Sincronizada with ham, cheese, and beef tortillas, and menudo. We also ordered 2 pork and beef tacos and they were pretty flavorful. They were all pretty good, but nothing special about it. The menudo was delicious, lots of tripe and tendon. We ordered the Horchata drink too and it was rich and sweet like it should taste. Overall, portions are great, but still expensive in general. This place is located in the same area as the HEB Villa Maria is located. Lots of parking and lots of tables. Staff are friendly and fast. They also have a full bar. read more

Food came out cold. rice wasn't even really edible it was hard and cold. and when i mentioned to waiter she tried to shut down my complaint even though i was very kind when talking to her. read more

Authentic Mexican cuisine. The food is good. The portions are generous. Decote is pleasant but not a table cloth dining room. Simple and functional. Large dining area and can seat a larger group. Though the menu is pretty substantial there are not a whole lot of vegan or vegetarian options though, even the beans seam to have been cooked with bacon. Service is pleasant and they do speak English. read more

They opened on the Dec 26th, and that's why we picked. I ordered quail order and my dad ordered chicken and beef fajitas. Both are really dry. The quail order is more salty than I thought. read more

My husband and I recently moved to Bryan (near the Federal Women's Prison.) We got DoorDash from Taqueria El Sol de Mexico (on Villa Maria) and my husband has picked up food from El Sol de Mexico (on N Texas.) We are in looooooooove!! So much so, we ate from the N Texas location twice yesterday. Don't sleep on them! Their salsas (though different) are delicious! So far we've had: Shrimp Tostada Shrimp Quesadilla Caldo de Pollo Barbacoa Tacos Cabeza Sopes Chicken Fajita Gordita Caldo de Marisco All DELICIOUSSSSSSS!!! (If you order chips & salsa from the N Texas location, be sure to ask for extra chips.) read more

Absolute scam of a business. I come in to enjoy the breakfast taco special ($5.99 for 3) and order three tacos. Despite no signage anywhere, they mention the deal only works if you get identical tacos. I told them I was not informed and was even told by my server that cheese isn't extra (it was extra). She told me I'd get onions (I didn't). She has tattoos on both arms, brought out the wrong food twice and then took forever to bring out my plates one by one. Even the chips tasted like they had been sitting on a picnic table for two days. Go to Taco Crave in Bryan for real Mexican food at reasonable prices, not this disaster of an establishment. read more

Food was good. It came out to the table hot and fresh. Server was nice. Prices were reasonable. Open floor cafe atmosphere.

For 2,99 you can have your choice of 10 different piping hot huge flavorful tacos. One Piccadilly was enough to fill me up. The atmosphere nice. A small bar in the corner . The people who work there are so friendly. Entrees average price but quality made fresh. I'll be back. read more

Wow this place maybe be small the ac may not be cold but their food is so good honestly loved the sauces to I can't even finish everything but it's so good read more

I felt sort of insecure b/c I don't speak a word of Spanish and the server didn't seem to speak much English. But fear not grunts and points are still perfectly acceptable. Prices are very, very reasonable. Al Pastor taco - ugh, god, so good. Fajita Torta - I'd rather mayo instead of sour cream, but that's just a personal preference. Meat doesn't seem too old and hard like so many other places. Complimentary salsa and chips - I'd like to wax poetic about this but basically the gist of it is that the salsa is very well spiced and very hot - just the way I love it. read more

Been here 4 times total. Recently had the Enchiladas Verde and the Barbacoa Tacos and both were good. Some minor notes : Personally I'd like less cheese and more sauce on the enchiladas. Re chips and dip, the mild sauce is too tomato-ey and the spicy sauce too onion-ey. The queso is meh. But pretty good overall. read more

Service is terrible. Can't even make a bean and cheese burrito for my son. We got tacos, tortillas were cold, cheese wasn't even melty. Waitress never came back out for us to send it back or tell her. This place is right by our house, we've given it several chances. Won't ever go back. read more

Wonderful food and service!! Excellent tacos that came out within five minutes of ordering. We'll be back!

I came here on a really high expectation of how incredible the tacos would be. Although the place was pretty decent, I just had my expectations set so high that I thought it was just a-okay. My friend had been here a few times and whole-heartedly recommended the Rajas taco, elevating them to the best tacos ever. Yes, the rajas tacos are good, but they are just missing something. It's a bunch of stir fried peppers that are beautifully seasoned. The only downside is that they don't have much texture. It's quite squishy. I did try a few other types of tacos and was just a little underwhelmed across the board. Aquacates (Avocado tacos) were the most bland ones I have seen yet. Slices of avocado on lettuce in a tortilla, with nothing else. And, when I mean nothing else, I literally mean nothing else - no salt, pepper, lime juice, nada. The chicken tacos were just okay. Just a bit bland in my opinion. They do bring chips and salsa at your table when you first come in. Which, in my opinion was the best part of the meal. An unusual thing that they do here, which I haven't seen at any other place is that they serve two types of salsas. From what I could tell, they are made almost identically; the only difference is the temperature. I'm not sure if there really was anything else unique about the warm salsa. Interesting concept for sure, but I much preferred the colder version. read more

The service is ass. I sat down with my girlfriend at a table with 6 chairs and they asked us to move??? I'm guessing incase a bigger party came in but a bigger party never came and there was multiple other tables that were unfilled and other parties of 2 were sititng in them?? It pissed me off. The food didn't make up for the terrible service either. If you want rude customer service, you found the place. read more

I decided to try this place since the reviews seemed mostly good. Every other table is closed so you don't have to worry about sitting next to someone else. I was greeted immediately and had a drink and chips within a minute of walking in the door. The menu, cup, silverware and chip bowl were all disposable so I didn't have to worry about how it was cleaned. Food came out quickly and was delicious. The waitresses were wearing face masks and were very kind. I would definitely come here again. Hours are 1100-2100 read more

The staff serving our Table was amazing. She helped us out on what to choices of foods and how to pronounce rhe names. She gave us dmetails on the foods and sides. She even gave us sample food to test and decide! Our order cameout very fast and it was amazing. Wow! The Agua de Horchata drink, I think it is a "rice water", it is just so delicious! My plate was also, the Quisedilla was so good! All the staffs are very friendly and supportive. This is a fairly authentic taste and bite, and the restaurant itself feels like somewhere in Mexico. There are a lot of beautiful mexican traditional decorations on the walls; like the colorful hats and more. You usually see a lot of Mexican families dining here. It is a quite place with soft Latina music. They have Karaoke night once a week, I think Tuesdays. Gracias guys! read more

Great food for cheap. You can go in and order to go. Tortas & Burritos have always been great.

It's a great place with a diverse menu and fantastic service. The tacos are reasonably priced. The bistec tacos and the barbacoa tacos however leave a little something to be desired. The barbacoa is lacking seasoning so it is not very flavorful. You need to season it with salt to taste, but the problem is that with barbacoa you expect the meat to be very greasy, and salty, a flavor that is consistent throughout the meat. Unfortunately, when you salt it yourself you don't get the explosive barbacoa taste you want with each bite. The bistec was too tough and dry for me the last time I had it, and lacked a lot of the grease and juice that I like to have with my bistec. The plates are definitely the item to order here. The plates come with the choice of meat and are accompanied by a side of rice, beans, greens, and avocado, along with tortillas. Definitely will fill you up and leave you satisfied with an authentic Mexican dining experience. The tortas are also a great item to order for the price. They're about 5 dollars a piece and come loaded with your choice of meat and the typical salad fillings + avocado. Overall, the food is great for the price and the place definitely makes authentic Mexican food, but misses the mark on a few staples. Definitely would recommend regardless and look forward to coming back again soon. read more

I'm originally from Houston Texas on the east side, a lot of people think that Tex Mex food is actual Mexican food but it's NOT. The owner of this establishment is a Houston native and it shows! The food served here is amazing and it reminds me of the taco stands and family owned food trucks from back home. I'm so happy that this place exists because it is truly authentic. From the flavor of the fajita meat in the Tortas to the breakfast tacos with papas in them. Everything has FLAVOR!! Even though this place doesn't look as fancy as your other eat out spots like Los Cucos, I would definitely try out this place. It's not as expensive and the quality of your food is better than most. read more

Amazing food! Very nice staff. We love coming here for the breakfast plates, but everything is great!

This place has amazing breakfast! A huge plate of food and tortillas for only 4.99 and it's delicious! 10/10 recommend to anyone looking for a good breakfast place in the area! read more

Me and my boyfriend went here because I was craving Mexican food and I saw the reviews here were nice. We both ordered quesadillas and the food was amazing. The portion sizes were good as well you get a lot for what you pay for. Our server was very nice and I loved the atmosphere. Will definitely be coming back! read more

*Posted this review to another El Sol in cstat. Idk if they're the same place, but I've never been to the other. This is a fix* This review is solely based on the breakfast experience. So much food and flavor, for such a low price! Breakfast is from 7-11 Food: 5/5 Chorizo and egg is my go to for the breakfast plate. I'd say it averages at 3-4 large eggs loaded with chorizo that is NOT GREASY. This is crucial because its rare that I find consistent sausage that is not swimming in grease and also not dry. The breakfast plates are served with refried beans, hash browns, cheese, and either 3 flour or 6 corn tortillas. Chips and salsa are complimentary all day and are great for curing a hang over. Breakfast plates can also come with egg/potato (potatoes are fried, not the bland square type), egg/bacon(I do wish they gave one more strip of bacon), and egg/ham. Service: 5/5 I frequent this spot and even at their busiest, there's never any trouble with the service. read more

This place was really very good. Once seated you receive 2 different red sauces, a green sauce, and chili con queso. I had the Jalisco burrito lunch special for $5.99 that included iced tea. I also had a shrimp taco that was delicious. I will definitely be returning. read more

The food is good. Salsa not so much. It takes a long time to get your order. This restaurant has 2 locations, the one un S Texas AVE. Is an older building but the food and service is better. Also the prices are lower. read more

We sat ourselves and were greeted very promptly and warmly by a young woman who took our orders. I ordered a chicken enchilada and beef tostada and I have to say the chicken blew the beef out of the water. It was so, so delicious. The beef wasn't as great but still well seasoned and cooked. The plates were very large and extremely affordable! Two of us ate and got extremely full for $17. read more

Let's talk about the most horrible and ,disrespectful treatment we received the waitress (did not get her name just know she has tattoos all over) was horrible she got our order wrong never checked to see what we needed, when we asked for the managers number she had the audacity to ask "for what" when we called it was her the one that answer the phone.. very unprofessional I would say this place was a go to for me and recommend it to many friends but I will never be going back and will share this experience with anyone who asked about this place read more

This has to be the most rudest service I have ever had in my time on this earth. As a server it is shocking how bad one person can be at customer service. Example: Me: "My tea is not sweet" Server: "just add sugar" Not only to top the horrific service. The food was just as terrible. I do not recommend this cheap in a can restaurant to my worse enemy. read more

This place is great. If your looking for TexMex, this isn't for you. This is the real authentic flavor and took me back to my childhood growing up with my grandparents. Rice was delicious and my wife and I had tacos a la mexicana. read more

After reading the various reviews, I gave it a try, ordering the lunch special: two enchiladas and a crunchy taco. Disappointed that the only flavor I can taste is the over-salted taco meat. Chicken enchiladas were salty as well. No layers of flavor here, eventhough the Brazos Valley is rich in Mexican culture and cuisine. I also measure a TexMex restaurant by their salsa/chips and this is average; definitely not memorable. Since I have many other options, will probably take them in the future. read more

Good street tacos. I love the pork skin and fajitas. The chip and Salsa are also pretty great and it's complementary.

Food was great. The staff was friendly. Prices were awesome. It was the only place in town that didn't have a huge waiting list around 10:30am. Now hiring signs and slightly slow service lead me to believe they are understaffed but I think as soon as they hire, the service speed will be better. Overall great experience. Will be back. read more
