Sol Del Mar Mexican Grill — Restaurant in Danville

I arrived tired and hungry, after traveling from SC to Iowa and Wisconsin and on my way home. It's been a long 48 hours. I am still tired but I'm certainly not hungry. The food portions are big, but more importantly... the food is bursting with flavor! It's fresh and tastes like Mexico! I grew up in Southern California. I have Hispanic family who fed me well and taught me what authentic means. I'm not easily impressed by Mexican restaurants. This place is excellent, fast and friendly. I asked the owner to choose something for me because I'm not likely to pass through here again. I wanted to know what he would want me to try if I only get to eat here once. He asked a few questions and then directed me to the Pollo del Rey. I substituted shrimp for the chicken. The chorizo is perfect, just enough, not overwhelming and the peppers are just right to give a bit of a kick. Suffice it to say, I am really glad that I took the time to stop and eat here! Delicious doesn't quite seem to cover it. If you stop you won't be...

In Danville for business. Picked this place based on the reviews and it did NOT disappoint. Had a chance to talk with the owner and he was very nice! Our server Lisbeth was wonderful. She knew the menu, made excellent recommendations, and didn't rush us...remember we are first timers here. I opted to get the shredded chicken on the Chicken on the Beach. It was the right choice. Chicken was moist, incredibly flavorful (they season their food!!!), and perfect on the rice with cheese sauce. Hands down the best food we've had in town and ranks up there with our favorite Mexican restaurants in Austin and Dallas TX!! They've got a great thing going here. Do yourself a favor and come here. Your belly will thank you!! Oh and save room for the flan...totally worth it! Take it from someone who grew up on the stuff....

Most houses in our town and surrounding areas are without power. Many been without 24+ hours. Sol Del Mar was open and ready to serve. They weren't incredibly packed when we got there. Several empty booths. We got right on as a party of 6. It didn't take long before the entire restaurant was filled. Despite the crowd of hungry, hot, and tired diners, the employees (likely also homeowners without electricity) took care of everyone. They ensured drinks were filled, chips never ran out and the food came out piping hot. We were in and out in just over an hour. I think that's pretty impressive all things considered! Thank you for providing a delicious and stress free meal for the evening! We appreciate...
