A sunny spot for Mexican food by Joe G. at InsiderPages

Sometimes the most interesting places to eat are those that you don't notice. We found this restaurant through a loyalty program listing, and went for lunch a few days ago. It's apparently been around for several years, but we'd never noticed it...

We like Mexican restaurants, although the quality varies widely, and we tend to be a little reluctant to try new ones, when there are so many known good ones. It's usually a bad sign to walk into one and find it completely empty in the middle of the lunch hour, which is what happened here.

Despite that bad omen, we couldn't find a thing to criticize. The food was very good, not the best Mexican ever, but definitely a step (or two!) above average fare, the service was excellent, the facility was clean and inviting (though a bit of a strange layout), and the prices were very reasonable. Chips were served with a trio of a red sauce, an unusually mild green sauce, and a very chunky and unusual pico de gallo that appeared to have (of all strange things) cucumber in it.

Quite frankly, I have no idea why this place wasn't swamped for the lunch hour, seeing as how a number of other area restaurants get very busy.

I can't give it five stars overall, but it is definitely five stars at the price and for what it is trying to be. It is really nice to see a place that does just what it seems to set out to do.

Great Value

by aadaun74 at Citysearch

Service is usually pretty good. The thing I like most about Senor Sol is that the food is a very good value. My favorite is dinner combo #4.

• Pros: value
• Cons: the atmosphere
