  Wow. What an awesome experience
  
  Wanted to get take out.
  
  Was immediately greeted and directed to bar for this service.
  
  Miguel was amazing . Took care of us right away.
  Got us a drink while deciding from menu. Another server brought chips/salsa.
  
  The 15 minutes we spent were engaging with different servers all personable and enjoyable.
  
  Food was delicious. Next time we'll be eating in to enjoy more of the awesome hospitality.

  We came to Eustis for the fireworks celebration and were with "mucho hambre"... that means we were very hungry. While the park had food vendors for the fireworks celebration, we ventured into town nearby and found Sol de Mexico.
  
  Now, keep in mind that I am of Mexican heritage and grew up on this stuff. I love flautas and enchiladas, so I grade a place by these options many times.
  
  I love green sauce enchiladas so I ordered the ones on the menu and substituted rice with a side salad and the refried beans with the charra or soup style beans. I was brought out the "red sauce" enchiladas, but that was quickly remedied by the kitchen. The red ones actually looked really tempting... but I wanted my green sauce. Well.......... the green sauce was choked out by all of the melted cheese on top. I could not even tell if there was any green sauce to enjoy. Did they taste okay? Yes, if you like a lot of melted cheese and little sauce.
  
  My wife ordered the chicken and beef fajitas and she said they were very good. My issue here... the "tortillas" we were given.
  
  While I am not surprised when a chain restaurant serves "store bought" tortillas, I expect an authentic restaurant to give me fresh made ones. The ones my wife had with her fajitas were subpar at best... the three stars are for this reason.
  
  To end on a positive note: My daughter had the chicken chimichangas. She liked the flavor. I also ordered a rice water "horchata" drink. It was in a big glass and tasted great... presentation in the glass was also nice.
  
  We will give this place a try agin whenever we stop back in Eustis.

  This was my first time here. I was excited by the decor and the prices. The salsa was so flavorful you could taste every ingredient. My boyfriend got the hard tacos with beef and I got two shredded chicken tacos with a corn tortilla. I wasn't 100% taken back by their corn tortillas, nor their flavoring/lack of on the shredded chicken. My boyfriend said his hard tacos where too crispy so he smashed it up into a taco salad. He said it made it a different meal, that their shells are better as taco salads than they are as an individual taco. The rice and beans where delicious! They have great prices on their beers as well. Our waitress was very attentive and speed of service was faster than other places I've been too. Which I don't mind because I was hungry! I will come back and try something different.

  Close parking is a challenge. Most of the spaces in the small back parking lot are reserved for other establishments such as the bank next door. Street parking in front is also at a premium as the restaurant is in popular downtown Eustis. A large parking lot is available across the side street from the bank, but the walk is difficult for the elderly or disabled.
  
  The outside of the restaurant is decorated with painted murals, making the restaurant easier to find as its entrance is tucked down an alley beside the bank next door. A small statue of a person wearing a sombrero and sleeping with his head and his arms and knees decorates a corner by the front door. I was unpleasantly astonished to find such a stereotype featured prominently at a Mexican restaurant.
  
  The inside decor adds to the experience. Two walls of the main dining room consist of booths made to resemble the porches of haciendas. Chunky chairs and tables in brightly painted colors decorate the center of this room. These add to the general atmosphere.
  
  The customer service in our two visits differed dramatically. The first time, the server was knowledgeable, helpful, and attentive. Unfortunately, the Tabasco on the table was empty on the second visit which foreshadowed the general lack of caring by the waitstaff. The server mumbled, didn't check on us, didn't refill the drinks, and actually walked off when my mom was in the middle of asking a question. I tried to ask two other employees for help, but instead of helping they sent the same server back to ask me what I wanted. I still didn't get my ice tea refilled until she brought the change. Ugh!
  
  The fajitas were acceptable - just okay.
  
  On my first visit, I also ordered one chile relleno a la carte to try before ordering it as a main dish on another visit. While the pepper wasn't particularly hot, which was what I was initially concerned about, the pepper was coated in a batter that had an unpleasant and weird aftertaste. Additionally, I expected the pepper to by stuffed, but instead, the pepper was very lightly filled - almost flat.

  We went back here with a group of friends and it was okay, as usual. A few in our group ordered the hard tacos as it was taco Tuesday where they were $1.25 each. I didn't think they would be filling enough, so I ordered the same thing I had gotten on our last visit, the soft chimichanga entree.  It all tasted good, but oddly enough they seemed to be less generous with the refried beans and the rice, so I ended up not feeling full after all. I guess I should have gone with the tacos and saved money.  Maybe it is time to go back to our favorite Mexican restaurant in Tavares.
