Reviews for El Sol in Highland Park, NJ
I love this place. The chef cares about the food he prepares and the wait staff are very attentive and wonderful. My favorite is... the enchiladas. I remember as a young person, the closer you got to the Mexican border was in direct proportion to the qualityof the Mexican food. This does not apply here, as we are so far from the border... but the food is delicious! Definitely go forthe enchiladas and a delicious pineapple drink. Easy 5 stars. Read more
overall, pleasant experience ordering from here. food taste very fresh and homemade. the rice needed a bit more flavor or... seasoning but everything else tasted great! Read more
A very pleasant experience. We were seated promptly and they brought out chips and salsa. 2 different salsas. Both flavorful and... not watery. 1) The Texas burrito was great. Very fresh and flavorful. Stuffed with rice, beans and cheese and smothered in redsauce. Good portion size and very filling. 2) Fish tacos were a slight miss. Kinda bland. Would benefit from more salsa. 3) Thehorchata was delicious. Sweet and cold treat. Overall, minus the fish tacos, everything was delicious. Read more
Wish I could rate it better. Wife wanted enchiladas and we had high hopes because of the high reviews. Food was just okay;... nothing was exceptional. The steak tacos were gray (no browning) and tough to eat. Al pastor also had no browning and just notjuicy. The drinks were a redemption - horchata was pretty good, not too sweet; Jamaica also. Staff was pretty slow but friendly. Read more
Tried to place on order on GrubHub on a Sunday before noon, but the app said it was going to take over an hour. So we decided to... call in and it was about a an half hour instead for four orders. I went with the chicken burrito, which was good, but it wasnothing special. The grilled chicken inside was not particularly exciting. However, I do appreciate that they put a good amountof chicken in there. I was only able to finish half the burrito and saved the rest for the next day. We only ordered herebecause we were in the area and needed a quick lunch spot to pick up some food, so I don't really see us coming back here. Read more
I got the steak chimichanga and flan. Everything, as always, tasted amazing! I love their food, and they serve really good chips... and two salsas before your food arrives (one is green, the other is a darkish red; not sure what they're called lol, but they'reamazing with the chips and later with tacos or whatever you order). Pricing is decent, as well. Read more
This is a nice casual place to get a quick bite. The staff was very friendly and the service was quick. They even had Mexican... sodas made with real sugar. The food was good. It is a small place, not fancy at all. I would recommend if you are looking forsomething quick. Read more
Went last week and will go again. The carne asada was so savory and enjoyable. The restaurant is so calm and peaceful. Waitress... minded their own business and was really sweet. Went to the Bathroom and it was surprisingly clean. Thank you so much for thefood and service. ???? ???? ???? ???????? ???????? ?? Read more
