Sol Mexican Grill

I really enjoyed the food! The chicken was crispy and had better flavor than Chipotle. All of the toppings tasted fresh and they give you a nice healthy portion. For the price and flavor it’s definitely worth a visit!

I used to love this place. I ordered a quesadilla online for pickup. When I brought it home, I saw there were two giant bites out of the top slice of quesadilla. I tried to reach out to let them know this happened (the website asks you to text with a number) and nobody ever got back to me. After reaching out again by text and tweet, still nobody responded. I reported it to the DC Health department, which followed up with an inspection, which reported several violations. I wouldn't eat here again.

Unfortunately, my experience at Sol Mexican Grill was underwhelming. The food lacked the authentic Mexican flavor I was expecting, and the portions were smaller than anticipated for the price. The service was slow, and the staff seemed disengaged. While the atmosphere was decent, it wasn’t enough to make up for the overall disappointing experience. I wouldn’t recommend it based on my visit.

This is a favorite for those working at or near the Washington Convention Center which is less than two blocks away. Tourists have also added this location to their favorites. If I don't have a lot of time I take out. But when I have the time I love to dine in and watch the people walk by. The staff is always very friendly and patient. It's the perfect location for fresh made to order options. When it gets busy, and the line is out the door, the crowd moves quickly. Orders are always accurate and the portions are plentiful. This location gives Chipotle a run for their money. When it comes to freshness, soft taco options, enormous burritos and bowls, all boxes are checked. Plus their frozen margaritas are awesome. They also have a happy hour special. Plus let's not forget Taco Tuesdays which includes a meat selection and two toppings. You can also eat upstairs and when the weather is nice you can sit outdoors as well. Their breakfast options are also appealing. If you are a regular please sign up for their points program. The points can be used for free options.

I am from Texas and know Mexican food, but this is not Mexican food. I rarely eat Mexican food anywhere except in my hometown because San Antonio has the best in the country. This place was new to me and I thought it was a small business owned eatery. It is not, they have several if not more. My experience. 1. I walk in and they looked (two of them) bored and as If they hated being there. No smiles, no "hello welcome" 2. I asked to have my tortillas warmed up and toasted. He made a feeble attempt as they were still cold and from a plastic bag that you get from the store, so that was a clue this was just a fast food wanna be Mexican place. 3. The Asada was luke warm at best and dry. It was just horrible. I am Mexican-American and I know what it is suppose to taste like. People in DC have no clue what Mexican Food is suppose to taste like so they are being fooled. What a waste. I will never go back.

Food was perfectly fine. But the food was just normal, nothing fancy, nothing remarkable. Service was fast, but not super friendly or that helpful, just going through the routine. Ordered a Burrito and was in and out in just a few minutes.

Fresh ingredients and lots of selections at this unique and alternate Mexican Grill. I ordered the grilled chicken bowl with a horchata and my bill came out to around $16. The food was fresh and the service was quick. They have some nice outdoor seating where you can enjoy your meal on a nice summer day. I recommend visiting this restaurant if you want a good alternative From chipotle and District Taco.

Got an early lunch here and was glad this location was near where I was staying. Had a good selection of food to order, the staff was friendly, and service was prompt. I liked that they had a "Mexican" style of rice here, and a really good selection of toppings for a bowl. It also tasted WAY BETTER than Chipotle to me, in that it wasn't overcooked, overseasoned, and overly pretentious. (The chips were a bit stale to me, but they weren't overly salty.) Nice little location with really good food!
