      Cafe Del Sol features my favorite Mexican food in the area, and I've been coming here for many years! The food is delicious and it is located downtown, near Bank of America.

      I typically order the chicken nachos or the chicken tostada. I have no idea what seasoning they use on the chicken, but it is to die for! I've also tried some of their other appetizers which were also very good.

      Taking way one star just because the inside is pretty awkward to navigate (you have to squeeze between tables), and I do wish they offered margaritas haha. I also feel like it's always super quiet in there when dining in. I feel like if they had fun music playing or offered weekend brunch or something, it might get more customers in there.

      Had some takeout for lunch. A fair and fairly balanced meal, but I think could be better. Can't comment much on the service or dining experience. Overall, wished there was more food for an entree and the chicken was more tender.

      Mole Poblano - sauce was very present, meshed well with everything served. Minimal rice though so there was a lot of leftover sauce and not enough to pair with the beans or the chicken. Salad was just tossed on top. Baked beans were pretty standard. The chicken was solid but a bit firm and difficult to tear apart. Could be more tender.

      I went back to this place and ordered a grilled shrimp burrito, and I really loved it. So far I'm very happy I found another place where you can still buy lunch at a fair price.
      That shrimp burrito has an amazing taste and the green salsa that comes with it , you may want to ask for another one because it tastes really good and you won't be disappointed. I recommend it to anybody or at least try it out.

      Ordered two appetizers, ceviche was good but it was a bit too sweet, and caliente which was not spicy (but I was looking for some heat) the flavor was still good, very friendly staff and quite cute and clean restaurant.

      Very bad experience. Avoid this place. Taco Bell makes better burritos. Not good service or food

      Very mediocre fare. Bare ambience. Poor service. Our team lunch unfortunately did not offer a good experience other than the company of the team. The guacamole offered with chips was simply just that - mashed guacamole, with no further taste added such as onions, lemon juice, cilantro, diced tomatoes, salt. We could have just eaten off the guacamole fruit directly!
      The fajita is supposed to have grilled sizzling vegetables, but what we got was cold boiled vegetable, a spoon of plain bean paste and a spoon of rice. You could have got this from a roadside kiosk for a couple of bucks.
      The service for 13 people included exactly one person, who vanished as soon as she served the plates, out of hearing distance. One of us had to walk over to the kitchen area just to get some attention.
      No dessert available, they offered to make coffee as a special offer just because we were a group, which we politely declined.
      Overall, a very very mediocre experience.

      This was the worst restaurant meal I have ever had. All of the dishes were tasteless and underprepared. None of them matched the description provided on the menu. By far the worst of the dishes were the veggie "fajitas". These supposed "fajitas" were comprised of steamed (yes... steamed) broccoli and some carrots with no tortillas. Do not spend a dime on this place. Awful.

      Our favorites are the seafood specials and fresh guacamole. Traditional Mexican dishes are also delicious. The ambiance is cheerful, bright and friendly. Walking distance to the Guild Theater is a plus!
