K	Katya Mangov on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Excellent food, love platter for two, actually very large portions. I am leaving 5 starts based on each time I order never disappointed.
T	Tristan M on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The beef tacos were amazing. I really enjoyed the bowl of chilli peppers for added heat/spice. The service here is slow, but the food was prepared with great care. Atmosphere was charming with unique decorations adding flares of colors. Great cocktails, and good place for a date. Can also buy random Mexican knickknacks for a souvenir.
I	Imad Jawadi on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ El Sol is an authentic, fresh and great Mexican restaurant that has been operating for 24+ years! The menu is limited but delightful. The service is quite friendly and the ambiance is simply exceptionally authentic. The restaurant also sell Mexican arts and crafts.
G	Gage Fletcher on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Absolutely spectacular Mexican food. The food took a little while to come out, but it was definitely worth the wait. Huge portions of some of the best Mexican food I've had in the city. The staff was so friendly too. Also not as important, but a nice touch was the decor. The walls were covered in masks and colourfully painted. Excellent dining experience all around. I will be going back and recommending friends! ???
R	Ruqayya Abdulla on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ What a little enchanting place. El Sol has so much of character due to the random pieces of art. Almost feels like you need to spend about 30 minutes before your meal to check everything out so you know what’s around you. The meal was absolutely delicious, homey and satisfying. The salsa, guacamole and homemade chips were to die for. So if you are ever in the area and want to take your tastebuds for a ride, you won’t be sorry! This is as authentic as Mexican food gets.
J	Jorge Carrasco on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Really enjoyed our first time at El Sol. Very friendly staff and eclectic ambiance added to the experience. Portions are generous and in this reviewers opinion authentic mexican food... No westernized versions here. I do plan on returning and bringing friends I gave it a 4 vs 5 due to the black bean enchiladas not being marked on the menu as spicy. I enjoy lots of spice and liked the meal but I was sharing with someone who doesn't enjoy this much spice so I had to eat it solo. I didn't experience the slow service other reviewers noted
P	Peter Francis on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I love this place and have been coming to it since I was born. I'm overjoyed to see it's still open. I have a few of their signature suns all over my home here in Alberta, it always reminds me of that familiar taste of home. My favorite thing on the menu here is the Tacos Albenil but you really can't go wrong with anything else they serve. It's all authentic (take it from me, a Norteño).
B	Barron Cedric Tan (Cedric T) on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I like how the place is set-up with all the bright colours and various display pieces. There is a great sense of authenticity with the whole aesthetic. We were already supposed to dine here one Friday evening a couple of weeks back, but the place was packed during that weekday night. This time around we were able to secure seating during a Sunday evening between 8 to 9PM. During the time there were 2 other table groups of diners present. What we had was the Tacos Dorados ($18.75) and the Enchiladas De Mole ($26). We were supposed to order their Menudo ($26), but they mentioned it was not available to order during that time. There were a couple of other dishes in the menu which we tried to order, but they can't be ordered during the time which led to us settling with the Enchilada De Mole. The Tacos were great. The Enchilada De Mole was something else. It was a lot of different flavours at the same time. I personally enjoyed having it because I am someone who enjoys trying out new unique tastes and flavours. The menu items are on the pricey side. There is also a long wait time before the order gets ready. The last unfortunate wrinkle in the whole dining experience was that our server even had our order cheque mixed up with a different table.
