Probably the worst "Mexican" food Ive ever had. Where to begin...We ordered two supreme fish burritos - one in a tortilla and one boat style (naked), a kids cheese quesadilla, chips, salsa, queso and two drinks for $25.00. Burritos were made up of a choice of meat and beans, and then wrapped up in a tortilla with cold shredded lettuce, cheese, sour cream and salsa. It was cold to eat with the exception of the fish stick (yep you read that right... see more below!) They advertise the naked burrito as a gluten free option, but nobody bothered to tell us that the "baked Alaskan cod" was actually just frozen breaded fish sticks (FYI thats not gluten free). And no, a fish stick burrito is not what I was thinking when I ordered. Queso is just heated Tostitos queso dip, chips are from Costco, salsa is diced tomatoes and onions with cilantro. Our four year old ate her $2 cheese quesadilla and $4.50 chips and queso happily. Its obvious that nothing is made in house. Oh wait maybe the kool-aid? Yep they serve kool-aid. Anyway, just be aware that this is not Mexican, I dont even know what you would call it? Our favorite taqueria was closed today so we decided to try this, but I would advise to go to any other Mexican option in town. The up side is the cool-factor. Its bright orange inside with high ceilings/exposed ducts inside an historic building on the walking mall. Dont be fooled by the facade...its like dating a jerk just because his foreign accent is cool. Dont do it.

I was expecting at least as good as taco bell, hoping for great like many other Mexican Restaurants... But was greatly disappointed in the food and the service. I ordered Nachos (minus beans and guacamole), fish taco and rice and beans.... the Rice had no flavor and was very dry. I mixed the beans in it to give it some flavor, but still only ate about two bites. The Nachos (or should I say Side of chips, two sides of cheese, side of sour cream and salsa ) I liked the salsa and in combination it tasted good, but I couldnt eat it well. You couldnt pick up a chip and have all the toppings on it, because you would have had to pick up the entire thing by grabbing one chip. They didnt serv the cheddar cheese hot, so the whole thing was solid. Someone even asked me if they were trying to decorate it cause it looked like a Christmas tree... The flavor of the Fish Taco was nice, I liked it. Would have been even better if I didnt have to ask for them to bring it to me. I ordered it, payed for it, ate chips and rice and beans while I waited.... then had to ask how much longer on my fish taco (which was suppose to have a flour tortilla) and she looked at me and said: "oh I didnt make it?"... Um no... thats why I asked. and she made it, but used a corn tortilla instead. still tasted fine, but it wasnt what I ordered. So Food was OK, not great, not good, just OK. Service Sucked! but the atmosphere was nice.

Food quality and service has steadily gone down since opening. And now it is so sloppy and gross I will never go back. The owner is an idiot and does not know how to run a business, maybe she should of stuck to the one business instead of letting a bunch of little kids run it in to the ground. Im definitely going to be spreading the word to everyone i know that taco del sol is gross and makes you sick

This is a great chain of restaurants. I was a bit disappointed in the lack GF offerings and care at this particular joint. The Bozeman location has gluten free burrito wraps, and is quite careful about avoiding cross contamination, which was not the case in Helena. However, all else about this location was up to snuff. The historic building that TDS is located in is also quite neat.

Super friendly staff and the food is always great. Quality, fresh ingredients, and great prices for the amount of food you get. I love all the different options they have for meats, toppings, sauces, and burrito sizes. Never disappointed when I eat here and my 8 year old lobes the baby burritos!

This used to the be cheapest place in town to get a load of food, but slowly over the last couple years the prices have gone steadily up. The quality still remains, but we certainly dont frequent it as much now that burritos cost nearly double what they did just a few years ago.

Taco del Sol is fabulous--great atmosphere for eating in or on the patio and the food is delicious. Im not sure what the older comments are all about; Taco del Sol definitely has the most food for the best price of the three downtown eateries of similar genre. YUM!

It has a bright, casual atmosphere and fresh burritos. Also the location is great to enjoy a nice day outside at the walking mall after grabbing a bite to eat. Sometimes finding free parking is difficult if you havent been there before.

Whether you have an appetite for one of their burritos, a fish taco, or even just some chips and salsa, youll be pleased with whatever you order. Oh, and they have some of the locally brewed beers on tap too.

Not entirely authentic, but if you want a quick burrito that is delicious and filling without breaking your bank, good place to come.

Coming from LA, we knew that we shouldnt expect real Mexican food, and we were right. Its not bad, but just not Mexican at all.

Monster burritos are my teenagers favorite. Friendly, patient staff can help you customize some amazing healthy menu tweeks.

Not Mexican food, but very good fish tacos and burritos nonetheless. And they serve horchata here.
