We have wanted to try Sol of Mexico for years, but have been thwarted by the afternoon-only opening times. (I believe this was started just as a place to sell homemade tortillas, then the owner branched out a bit). As I had one last week of flexible summer schedule, however, I went there on a Wednesday and got take-out for lunch. To my happy surprise it is open Fridays and Saturdays 12-9, so we can go for weekend lunch/dinner. Which is great because I loved it on my own, and Eric loved it when I took him back three days later.
On the Wednesday I got in right at opening. By the time my order was ready there were five other customers and the three small tables were filled. Popularity is a good sign. I tried to order tamales, but she didn't have any, to everyone's disappointment (all parties were seeking tamales that day). But she promised tamales on Saturday, which is why I went back so quickly. For my take-out order I got a veggie burrito, chips and guacamole. Even the small (4 oz) guac is too much for one person, one sitting, but it was wonderful. The burrito was also too much for one sitting, but I didn't let that stop me and I ate it all. It was grilled just the perfect amount and tasted superb.
On Saturday, Eric and I were the only customers at 12:40. I guess it gets more of a work-lunch crowd, but regardless we were happy to sit down there. The ceiling is a beautiful shade of green and it was a bright sunny day. We both got tamales, mine veggie. They were well worth the wait. I also had a veggie taco (good, but I think I like the burrito better) and Eric got fish tacos. He was impressed, and started planning the next time in our schedule that we can return.
So - 5 stars, 2 thumbs up, etc. Yummy food, nice owner, pretty inside. Lovely.
