Taqueria del Sol

Absolutely disappointed in the staff at this location. My husband and I have enjoyed this restaurant chain for years, but after last night, I don’t know if we’ll be returning. I recently broke my leg and am on crutches with an aircast. My husband arrived about 10 minutes before me to buy a drink and waters so he could secure a table for us, saving me from having to stand in line. After I arrived and sat down, my husband promptly joined the food line. Within minutes, one of their team members came over and told me I needed to get up from my table and sit on a bench until my husband had ordered our food—because of their “system.” I’m very familiar with how their restaurant works, and that’s exactly why my husband purchased beverages before ordering—so we could get a table. I politely explained that my leg was broken and my husband was already in line, assuming she hadn’t noticed the boot on my leg, my bright pink crutches leaning against the wall, or the drinks on the table we had already purchased. Instead of showing understanding, she repeated herself and again told me to move to a bench. At that moment, my crutches were out of reach, I had my crossbody purse, two waters, and my husband’s Ranch Water on the table. Even if I could grab my crutches, I couldn’t have carried everything by myself. My husband was now third in line. She walked away, and suddenly, multiple tables around me were cleared—five in total. I’m not sure if it was coincidence or if other guests overheard the conversation. She then returned to tell me it “wasn’t a big deal” anymore because more tables had opened up. I have NEVER been treated this way in my life. This experience was humiliating, and it showed a complete lack of empathy or basic ADA awareness. I would hate to think how they would treat someone with a permanent disability. This company seriously needs to invest in ADA and coustomer service training for its staff.

Modern building, can have long lines. Amazing food! Many of the members of the staff you can see every time you go there. The patio is pretty nice. One of the best Mexican places.

I’m here to tell y’all, this Taqueria has the best collards in the South. I originally came here a few years ago, bc I was inspired by the cookbook. I met one of the business partners last time in Atlanta . This time, I had to come back to give a review. The tacos are mostly 8.5, only y’all know that cost/protein ratio is a tad higher. But they’re excellent, you could eat 27 of them. But they’re collards man, as a black guy this is where I’m coming to get some for thanksgiving.

No complimentary chips!!!! Fist time I have been at a Mexican restaurant and not had complimentary. Interior is nice but a bit sterile. You order at a counter and food is bought out to you. Food quality is excellent, but a little small. Soft drinks are served by the can do no complimentary refills. Nice bar area and outdoor seating. I had a carnita taco and beef red chili and my wife a brisket taco. Parking seems to be an issue just about all the time. I’m not crazy about tipping when you “counter order”, especially when the offer you percentages.

Staff needs ADA training. Went a few weeks ago and they were so rude about my service animal being on the patio with inappropriate posturing and questioning by multiple employees. It felt to both me and my companions like the manager was intentionally trying to make me uncomfortable. He was somehow both insecure, awkward and agressive at the same time, which is quite a feat. He had the nerve to ask me why my dog’s harness didn’t say service dog. Sorry- if I’d known your employees were such losers I would have brought her other harness that anyone can buy on Amazon. I stayed calm and collected and offered to show them her ID# even though I don’t have to. I’ll do you a favor- the only thing your manager should be asking anyone unless you want to get sued is what service the dog provides. My dog is for my epilepsy so I would have told you that. You’re welcome. The food was also incredibly mediocre. I won’t be returning.

Okay, I admit I've put off going to Taqueria del Sol in favor of what I deem more authentic tacos places along south Chamblee-Dunwoody and Buford Highway. While very bourgie, I found the food product high quality and flavorful. The tacos are made with flour tortillas which is common in the north of Mexico like Sonora and Chihuahua. I alway try carnitas as an initial test. Here they were juicy and tender. A bit salty, but tasty. I liked the brisket taco too. These tacos are alway lightly dressed so you can really taste rmeat. The guacamole was made with nice big chunks of avocado and modest amounts of fillers and seasoning. $15 for lunch is reasonable, but most of my other favs charge about $3 a taco and here they are $4. The place is popular and busy at lunch. Don't let the line put you off, it moves quickly. You order, sit and food is brought to you. Bright, clean with basic deco. Try the "blue plate" its usually a good deal at $11.

I got really lucky with their luch special. The meatloaf looks good but it tasted even better. Which is why I went for a round 2! They need to have it more often!

The food is ALWAYS excellent. This is a great spot if you need a quick bite. You have to order first then sit down so if you want to be waited on you have to sit at the bar. Because this is the only place you can get waited on it is always full. This location is good for groups, and there is actually a couple of big tables. They have gluten free designations on the menu. They have a kids menu but no high chairs. I usually order 2 enchiladas which is enough to fill up on. Chips and salsa do not automatically come with the meal, so you would need to order them. They have inside and outside seating.
