Tacos del Sol — Restaurant in England

An experience worth raving about. From the moment we stepped in, the warmth and hospitality of the owners made us feel right at home. They took the time to chat with us, sharing their passion for authentic Mexican cuisine and their commitment to sourcing fresh, local ingredients.

The cook, who is originally from Mexico, truly knows her craft. The food is bursting with genuine flavors, transporting you straight to the heart of Mexico. The freshness of the ingredients is evident in every bite, and it's no surprise they often run out due to the high demand. On our first visit, they had unfortunately run out of food, but the owners made up for it with some of the best margaritas we've ever had.

Determined to taste their renowned dishes, we returned for a second visit. It was hands down the best Mexican food I've had in the UK, and some of the best I've ever had anywhere.

The owners of Tacos del Sol are the heart and soul of this gem. Their dedication to quality and customer satisfaction shines through in every aspect. If you're looking for an authentic Mexican dining experience with top-notch service, look no further than Tacos del Sol. It's a must-visit for...

Absolutely, top-tier Mexican food! From the moment we walked in the door we were given a warm welcome by Chris working front of house. He started us off with some fantastic margaritas served in proper Mexican glasses while his wife, Marisol prepared some pork burritos, all made fresh to order and customised to your tastes.

The food was incredible, freshly made with local ingredients where possible, including home grown chilis. I'm not much of a spice guy so went for a milder level, but my (Hispanic) wife went off the charts with the special professional level spice and loved every minute of it.

I also want to take a minute to talk about the amazing welcome we had. It was a pleasure to meet Chris, Marisol, and the other lady in the kitchen (sorry, I can't remember your name), and share stories of living in America. They are clearly small business owners who have passion for what they do, pouring love into their food, and treating their customers as friends.

My only problem is that we're only in Ambleside a couple of times a year and I'm simply not going to get Mexican food this good anywhere else in the UK. I can't wait to go...

Wow!! The 400+ 5-star reviews say it all! This is what happens when a couple follow their dream- in this case a wife from Mexico city & American husband (with UK ties, I believe).

The vibe immediately when you walk in this cosy, bustling place is fantastic! Customers chatting to each other about Eurovision while the owner -righteously- beams with pride. The meat is hand smoked and the pico de gallo and guac homemade and 100% authentic. I've had Mexican in Mexico and California, and this is every bit as good. My only disappointment was that they used cheddar instead of Monterey Jack (the only cheese even close to proper Mexican that you can get in the UK) for the quesadillas, so I didn't order those, as I can make them at home.

Tips - they often sell out by 3, so don't miss out. The meat has a kick-even when you get your burrito mild. Not a lot of seating but you can take it to the nearby park or to a bench outside. Not easy to find parking but the owner kindly gave me a parking...
