I dont usually take the time to write reviews although I should. I made myself sit down and write up a review for this place though as I have to make sure it doesnt ever go under. I recently moved my business to Smyrna and had an on going tradition of "Fiesta Friday" which mandated the visit to a local Mexican restaurant for plenty of Dos Equis as well as some good food to facilitate a nice siesta for Friday afternoon. I tried literally every single Mexican food place in the area and was amazingly disappointed in most. Crap salsa, bland food, and old reheated ingredients seemed to be the norm in every place. El Sol is the only place that stands out from the rest. The food is so much better, fresher, tastier, that it demands a perfect review. The staff was extremely courteous. The food was filled with flavor and had more options that most Mexican places for add ons. The beer was cold and tasted right. Most importantly, the salsa was excellent. It was fresh, cold, and had a bit of heat to it. It wasnt a pureed mush of canned tomatoes and chalula like most of the places. You could actually taste all of the ingredients and especially the fresh cilantro. The place has only been open for three months so Im hoping they stay busy enough to not have to lower the food quality like most new places do after they realize food costs are higher than expected. So, as a personal plea...please go to El Sol and eat as much as you humanly can as often as possible. Petition for a breakfast menu if needed. We really need to keep this place open and in business so that Smyrna has a respectable Mexican restaurant and I can continue enjoying Fiesta Fridays for years to come.

My wife and I were traveling and lucked into this place through research on the Internet. We like to share dishes and try different cuisine. My wife ordered chicken chipotle and substituted sautéed spinach for the mushrooms. I ordered caliente fajitas. Neither one of us wanted to switch to try the other dish, that is until we did switch. Both dishes were outstanding. The server was friendly, informative and attentive. The margaritas are also excellent. We couldnt have enjoyed dinner more.

I am visiting from another state and this was great. The service was great. Not only did our waiter check on is but the others did too. They made sure our cups was always full and we were taken care of. The food was awesome. We had the Parrillada El Sol. Onions, bell peppers, and steak was very tender. I will definitely try again.

Really good. We had no wait and the chips hit the table right away. The salsa is pretty good has a little kick to it. The wait staff is friendly and attentive. I had the taco loco it was fresh, not as good as the other "taco loco". Parking is a little tight but nothing crazy.

Cant wait to have a drink or two at the bar! This is a friendly intimate mexican restaurant and bar. I ate lunch and enjoyed the salsa & chips, tacos rice and black beans on a hot plate. I look forward to trying other items on the menue. They even have music Tuesday evenings.

Yet another restaurant that rounds up your bill when paying in cash. Was told this is their standard practice, however no where on the menu or the check was this posted. This is STEALING and you were caught. Soooo, enjoy the change as your tip. Service here is lousy anyway.

The food was delicious, and plentiful. Great margaritas, and the service excellent. Prices were very reasonable. All the staff was friendly and courteous. Plus, they have large screen TVs to watch your favorite games on! Who could ask for more? And on New Years Eve!

Had the three enchilada plate. 2 beef, one chicken. Salsa and sauces were very tomato-y. Wasnt horrible, but there is definitely better Mexican food to be had. Enchiladas were very light on the cheese too. Was nicer inside than it appears from outside though.

Ordered on Grub Hub. My order went thru and they came back after the fact and charged me for lettuce on a burrito! I have never been to any Mexican restaurant that did not serve a burrito with lettuce let alone charge extra. Will never order again!

Its typical mexican fare, what you would expect at a random mexican place, not outstanding but not bad. Chips could be a little less hard and salsa could be a little less runny. Otherwise it is what it is.

Ahhhhhhh! I almost busted a seam! This is where you go to get full. Good tv too. Ice cold beer. Fresh hot chips. Salsa aint too bland, not too spicy, jusss rite. And not too watery either.

Extremely salty food. I think they made a bad batch of overly salted beans and passed it off since we ordered the food to go. Seriously angry at this place.

Great service - welcoming; friendly and helpful server. The margaritas were great. Food on the other hand was very cheesy - must have been a bad chef day!
