Mexican Cuisine
If you enjoy Taco Tuesday, then you have officially fallen in love with the Mexican Food. The main grain of Mexican cuisine is maize. Also known as corn, maize is grown for the past 9000 years after the crop was discovered by the people in Mayan civilization. Mexican empire flourished when they started growing beans, tomatoes, chili pepper, sweet potato and cactus. Till this date these ingredients are used in cooking authentic Mexican dishes and drinks.
Great use of spices, fresh chili pepper dishes like fajitas, tortilla chips, corn chips, salsa, chimichangas, burritos, nachos and quesadillas are invented in America. But when you are looking for authentic Mexican food then you must find a restaurant in the city that serves Rajas con Queso, Garbanzo in a Guajillo Chile Sauce, Pork Filled Chiles Rellenos, Chiles en Nogada, Molcajete Salsa, Pico de Gallo and Frijoles de la Olla. An eye-opening fact – Mexican don't like their food hot. They use fresh chili and other spices to create a flavor that lingers in your mouth.
Mexican food is great for those who are Gluten Intolerant as they use Corn instead of wheat in most of their dishes. Also, you can easily find many beans based Mexican dishes. Another dish which didn't get similar glory as tacos or nachos is the Mexican hot chocolate. If you love something hot on a chilly day, then go for Mexican Hot Chocolate. On merry days, you can enjoy the authentic Mexican Drinks like Tequila, Mezcal, Tecuí, Sotol, Bacanora, Charanda, Posh O Pox, Puebla and Pulque. Mexican Cuisine is for people who enjoy strong drinks and hearty meals.

Other reviewers make solid points... The manager is excellent - warmly greeting you at the door The staff is quick - warm chips and water served immediately The food is good The plates are HOT But for me, it was a nice meal if you're in the area, but not worth the drive for a special trip. My nits are that the chips and salsa were just OK. Maybe this is a good thing since I didn't have to restrain myself from eating the whole basket. They have eight lunch 'deals' for around $6.25 (great, right?), but if you want sour cream or guacamole (and who doesn't?), they charge you $1 extra. For EACH. My regular Mexican places don't do this. My chimichanga with chicken was prepared well but I was still chewing when they took my plate. Fast service is appreciated, especially if you just want a quick lunch, but this was a little too quick.

We've been going here for local Mexican food since 1999. The staff are always super friendly and on top of it. The salsa is outstanding! The food overall is solid and consistent. Maybe not the most authentic in the Portland area but the place works for a quick weeknight out for local Tualatin Mexican!
(3)Big A G.
Good food and service. The owner is always there greeting you at he door and is extremely friendly. The chips are great and always warm and if you want authentic Mexican come here.
(4)Jeremy J.
Food is good and consistent. I've been coming here for years, would definitely recommend the steak fajitas, el sol enchilada, and mole enchilada. Rice and beans are always tatsty. Margaritas are hit or miss. Very, very quick service and not too pricy. Love the chips and salsa before the meal! If you are looking for a simple and tasty mexican place in Tualatin this is your spot.

This is a great place for a quick lunch or to take the family for a delicious meal! You are always greeted at the door with, "Hola Amigos!" The service is great and the food is delicious. The Seafood Burrito is huge, stuffed full of shrimp. The Chicken Enchiladas are amazing with homemade Enchilada sauce. I also get the Chili Verde on a regular basis and have not been disappointed. It is right off I-5 in Tualatin so it's easily accessible from Tigard, Lake Oswego and othe surrounding areas and well worth the drive! I almost forgot...they cater too! We have had them provide food for two parties and we were very pleased. They provided more than enough food!
(4)Todd M.
Service is excellent! Food is hot but simple. A fine place for a meal but I'd never go out of my way to eat there. Typical NW Mexican food....a lot of sauce and cheese but lacks freshness.
(3)Marc A.
I have been going here since I was a kid, and I have not once had a bad meal here. Their service is extremely quick, friendly, and if you are luck enough to have Izzy the owner check in on you, he will never forget that you were there. His staff always goes out of their way to make things great. Truly a non-downtown gem for yummy Mexican!
(5)Jimbo R.
Good neighborhood basic rice & beans Mexican restaurant. The service is very upbeat and friendly as mentioned in other reviews and they really make kids feel welcome. I wouldn't drive across Portland for this food, but if you are hungry for basic Mexican fare and are nearby, it is a good place to stop.
(3)Allegra P.
Being a native Californian it has been hard to lose good Mexican food but this place is the real deal. Authentic food and traditional atmosphere with fast service. It's not getting 5 stars for incredible decor or ambiance but strictly the food! Tastes like home!
(5)Jane C.
It was very good, the salsa was a bit spicy, but it was still a wonderful flavor. We were greeted immediately and seated shortly after. The only reason it did not get 5 stars is they only had one glass or horchata left. We shared, but it is so good, you don't want to share ;). We will go back
(4)Lauren S.
Delicious food, a wide variety of entrees to choose from on the menu, yummy drinks, delicious dessert, fast service and friendly staff :) delightful!

I was greeted and seated immediately, and the server was attentive. I ordered my lunch, and it was ready and on my table so promptly that I was pleasantly surprised. Burritos, enchiladas, tacos...all very tasty! I'm told this restaurant has been in business at this location for many years. I live in the area and I've driven past it many times, but it was recommended by a reliable source. With time to pause for linch (and a ravenous appetite), I stopped in this afternoon, and I'm glad I did. Too often we miss what's very near our doorstep. I was very pleased with my lunch and there's no doubt that I'll soon return. Would I drive a great distance to eat here? No, probably not...because I have a few "favorites" in other parts of town, but I am glad this is so conveniently located near my home and I can recommend it to others.

I got a couple 12 dollar super burritos one beef and one chicken. The chicken had zero flavor, over cooked and the beef could have been better if they used canned cat food. I do not suggest this place if you want good food at a good price. Speaking of price, way to much money. I mean way way to high. $15 for a carne asada burrito , no thank you. Do yourself a favor and pass by this place.
(1)Heidi C.
An okay place for take out, not for eating in. Our server seemed annoyed to have to work that night. She was rather curt. My biggest issue: I ordered the fish tacos, and they had FISH STICKS in them. Nasty. Re-heated fish sticks, in your dinner menu tacos? Really people? I was surprised to say the least. It was very pathetic. If I want fish sticks I'll buy a box at the store for a third if the cost! Their salsa is good. And that's about it.
(2)Joseph '.
I love this place. Great authentic Mexican food. The chips and salsa are incredible, I'm addicted to them. Great music in the background, fun staff.
(3)Franchesca V.
Service is fast. Drinks are strong. I always rate my Mexican restaurants by the quality of their chili rellano. This one was fantastic and their corn tortillas are soft and wonderful. The salsa has good flavor, they put real hot, hot sauce on the table. My only feedback to the restaurant would be they gave us the check without asking us if we wanted dessert. Always ask if we want dessert!
(5)Brian J.
I live very close by, and would go there occasionally if this place were at least average, but sadly it is not. One time there was more than enough. The food is *really* bad, as is the service. And the final kick in the pants is that they charge too much. Taco Bell has better food. Probably the worst Mexican restaurant that I've eaten at in the greater Portland area. And that's saying a lot!
(1)Martin W.
Greeted us promptly and service seemed okay. But break out your pocket book. I am amazed they stay open with the prices they want to charge for Mexican Food. A good 2 - 3 dollars per plate more than most any other place I've been. They even start charging if you want more chips. The food wasn't bad... but I wouldn't classify it as good Mexican Food at all. Just not my kinda place I guess.
(2)Katie W.
The food was kind of experience for what we got. The taste was very average nothing special defiantly not worth the price of food. But the staff was nice!
(2)Michael B.
OK, I am still a fan but they have new owners. The salsa is different, the chips are lower quality and they have a guy with a guitar who stands 14 inches form you singing while you try to eat. We would go here because the chips and salsa were great, the food was fast (impossibly fast), and it was easy. My wife couldn't eat the whole time the guitarist was there., it made her so nervous and uncomfortable. We don't go to dinner to be interrupted while we eat. I politely asked about the salsa and chips on our last visit an expressed that we were unhappy with the change. We will still eat here but no where near as often.
(3)Thomas E.
Hey guys. This place is solid. The chips and salsa are fresh and tasty. The tacos are a little bland, but pretty much everything else is spot on. A good value for the money and convenience.

Just had dinner here earlier this evening. I am surprised at the number of 3 star ratings. My husband, who is Mexican, and I decided to give the place a try based on ratings as well as a particular posted photo. I tried the pollo asado (grilled chicken) and my husband ordered his all time fave, chile verde. First of all my pollo asado looked NOTHING like the picture one reviewer posted. The two chicken breasts were paper thin - no exaggeration! There were no grill marks to be had anywhere on the meat. My husband's chile verde, which should be chunks of pork, simmered slowly in a flavorful green chile sauce was simply pathetic. The cubes were about 1/2" and they were floating around in a weak verde sauce...no flavor or heat to them at all. To make matters worse, there were literally 10-12 TINY chunks of meat...enough to fill one of the 4 flour tortillas served with his dish. Oh, and the tortillas were not homemade at all. We live in Milwaukie and eat at Mi Pueblo often - they make the most delicious corn tortillas. The ones served with my pollo were from a grocery store and not very warm or soft. The rice was decent as were the beans but everything felt like it sat in the oven or a microwave because the plate was screaming hot...even by the time we finished the meal and they cleared the table. The salsa they served with a hefty bowl of chips was very good - nice heat to it - sadly that was the best part of the meal. I guess I wouldn't be so critical if they only charged $10 for the plates, but each one was $14.95 - overpriced for the quality/quantity. We will never eat here again. As California natives, we know good Mexican food and my advice is don't bother.
(1)Patricia W.
I really like this place. I crave it when I haven't been here for awhile. El sol is close to my work and quick getting your order during lunchtime. They always are nice and there to greet you and bring chips and salsa to the table (and the salsa is delicious) I have never ordered anything but the chicken chimichanga lunch with rice and beans but everyone else's food always looks good. There is always great customer service here everyone is very friendly. So if you are out in Tualatin, meander on over and have yourself some delish mexican food.
(4)Danielle K.
Okay, so if anybody I work with even *suggests* Mexican for lunch, I will most surely come along. When they recommended "the place that has good chips and salsa," of course my interest piqued. El Sol de Mexico really isn't much different than a lot of Tex-Mex places; it definitely has the Azteca vibe. And the LOUD vibe. Not so much the music, but the host. "HOLA AMIGOS," he practically yelled, scarring my eardrums. "HOW MANY TODAY?" "Cinco," I reply. He continued to mumble something in Spanish. I wasn't really listening. But I did notice that he consistently yelled at the patrons in Spanish. Whether they knew what it meant...well, that's still a mystery. Next! Chips and salsa. Like Jen mentioned, nothing super special. I doubt the chips were homemade, but they were hot, and they had what looked like a cornmeal texture to it. The salsa, though? Shiiiiiiiiiiiiittttttttt!!! It was way spicier than I thought it would be. By the time our meals came (lunch specials were $6.50), my mouth was already on fire. The food was good, although it took a while to eat because everything was SO damn hot. So the combination of the spicy salsa with the SUPER [temperature] hot food literally made me start crying. Not necessarily tears of happiness, either. Ouch! Once it finally cooled down (a solid 10-15 minutes), I did actually enjoy the flavors of my deliciously greasy beans, rice, and chicken enchilada. And lots of gooey cheese. If you're looking for authenticity, do NOT come here. That said, if you love the cheesy Tex-Mex goodness, you'll love this stuff. Service was quick, and fine. I got lots of refills of my water glass. One thing I found really weird, though, was that as soon as one of the FIVE in my party finished, someone immediately grabbed their plate. I mean, fine, but it made me feel like they were pushing us out, and it wasn't even busy. In any case, I'll keep this place in mind if we do Mexican at work again. I definitely liked it a LOT more than Juan Colorado, the other Mexi joint my coworkers frequent, so that's a plus. Would I go out of my way to come here if I'm in Portland? Nope. But I appreciate that they're in town.

I always enjoy coming here. It is by my husband's job and -if you can believe it- we are able to get in and out of there without him getting in trouble for coming back late from his skimpy 30 min. lunch break he is allotted. The service is prompt, friendly, and warm. You get chips and water quickly and their prices are pretty reasonable. They even serve booze! I have not tried any of their alcoholic drinks so I can't speak to that, but their food is good. To me Mexican food is generally Mexican food and their Mexican food is good, not super knock-your--socks-off or anything but it does hit the spot. and will fill you up. I always leave feeling good and happy.

Disclaimer - I may have been spoiled during my brief stink in Los Angeles by endless authentic Mexican restaurants. So, it could be just me, but El Sol De Mexico - the worst Mexican food I've ever had. I tried an enchilada, burrito, taco - I didn't like any of it. It reminded me of Taco Bell. I would never go back. I have since tried another Mexican restaurant in Tualatin, La Isla Bonita, and felt the enchilada, rice and beans were very good. That's another review though...
(1)Kelle R.
We have been here countless times and the food and service is always great; even the kids like it. It is clean and the service is excellent!
(4)Jim A.
Welcome amigos! Time for another review! I've been here several times for lunch (I work down the street). Not great, but a solid good. I've never been let down. You'll feel right at home with their cheesy decor, and friendly service. The manager (possibly the own) has GREAT customer service. He's friendly, always stops by the tables, loves to talk, and most importantly... He has a SWEET handle bar mustache! Damn I wish I had his facial hair. As the other reviews claim, this place is fast. How they get their food out so fast boggles my mind. I order my food, take a drink of my pepsi, dip my chip into the salsa, and before I get the chip into my mouth the waiter is there telling my not to touch the plate because its hot. Take his freaking advise. Their plates are hot as hell! If you're in Tualatin and need some Mexican food for lunch... Hit me up. We'll go to El Sol De Mexico.
