El Sol de Mexico — Restaurant in Albuquerque

Should have read the reviews. This was one of the worst dining experiences I've ever had. Just so laughably bad I have to believe this place will be closed in few months. The food is utter garbage. Worse then Taco Bell quality just vomited on a plate. It automatically triggers diarrhea cramps. But the service was really next-level atrocious. Our waitress had obviously been given very little training. She would come back to our table multiple times asking what we ordered. Then of course she screwed up the check and it took AT LEAST 45 minutes for her to correct it. She would stand in front of the touch screen menu and just look at. The manager could not have cared less. Just staring at her phone the whole time completely ignoring the whole situation. I got up several times to complain and nobody in the place cared. We should have just walked out. The fact that we even had to pay was a crime against humanity. Shame on everyone involved with the...

Started with some complimentary chips and a blended mild-medium spice salsa, the chips seem to be home made. The Asado de Puerco that I ordered came out in a tight 10 minutes. Good flavor pork, not a significantly large quantity but a reasonable quantity for the price. Rice of no particular note, putting them on an equal level with about 99% of mecican restaurants. Beans were decently flavored, served whole. I'm more fond of the more 'paste' refried beans but I did not inquire about how they're served so I can't particularly fault them for that. Four fresh street taco sized corn tortillas. Not the most photogenic dishes but all quite tasty.

Waitress was always prompt in inquiring about and returning with refills for the incredibly unhealthy quantity of soda I was drinking.

My only major complaint is the front door being left open significantly reducing the effectiveness of the air conditioning. Just marginally warmer than I would...

It’s definitely a tourist trap… we went on a Monday and it was the only place open around Old Town except a pizza place. We wanted Mexican so we went here, but I definitely regret it. $25 for fajitas and was given such a small portion of chicken and the sides of rice, beans, etc. I had $20 chicken tacos and they were okay. NOT $20 bucks worth. Our local Mexican place has the BEST tacos and they’re half the price. They had prices marked off and raised. My sons chicken tenders were marked higher at $13 and they were TERRIBLE. There was barely any meat, it was all breading. And when there was meat, it was dry and chewy which my 2 year old can’t eat. Aside from the awful, overpriced food, the service was great. Our waiter was really nice and checked on us a few times, refilling our waters and making sure we had everything we needed. Avoid this place unless you want overpriced,...
