Sol Mexican Grill - Chico

I'm from PA and I've been eating Mexican food for many years. Spot on guys

The first time we tried Sol it was not a good experience (all the burritos we ordered were bland and the **** Mary was way way too spicy) but we wanted to give it another try. I'm happy we did! This time I ordered the taco salad with shredded pork and it was delicious! The wait for the food was about 20-25 minutes and it was close to closing but we didn't feel rushed out the door. We had margaritas, which were ok. I'll definitely be back for the taco salad and friendly customer service! We got our food last night. The photo attached is of my leftovers today and it's still just as delicious!

Staff is friendly and it's clean. The food is just ok. Pueblos is superior to this. The acoustics make it very loud in there even with only a couple tables full. The cheese choice absolutely kills it.

They lack Customer service, not once while eating were we ask if we “needed anything else” I have to ask if they provide chips and wether they have some salsa to go along with our food. I went there thinking it was a decent place to sit down and dine but it felt like a “Togo” kind of place. Not much drink choices, no Mexican drinks besides the Coke in a bottle and a couple more. The food was ok but definitely not a authentic Mexican restaurant. We asked for Horchata and the young girl didn’t know what it was. Lol. The meat in My burrito was tender with good flavor but not sure how I feel about fries inside the burrito. Lol. I thought they were on the side. I’m sure other can appreciate that but just heads up. Overall my expectations were higher based on the building and some pictures online but now I can see why you have to pay first before you get your food. It was my first time there and last unfortunately.

I came with two other people, one got their food right away, the other got hers 10 minutes later. Another 15 minutes after that, I still didn't have mine, then power went out. They were still getting food out, but it was another 15 minutes until I got mine, to go. Turns out the food wasn't worth the wait. The beans and rice are very bland.
