El Sol

Scammers! $15 for watered down house margaritas? They intentionally hide the price on the menu then slam you with this. I asked for a vegetarian burrito option and they said we can do the El Sol burrito without meat and then charged us extra for it! Since when does is few slices of peppers cost more than meat!? We asked the waiter why we were charged top shelf prices and he asked if we wanted to speak to the manager about it. Of course we said yes, then miraculously he was out until Monday?! They are clearly in the game of ripping you off! A house margarita should not cost more than any food item on them menu. As a former waitress, I’m aware of this top shelf up-charge game but would never do that to customers!

The food here is always delicious! Nice touch giving some complimentary nachos once we sat down. Nice outside seating for an evening meal. The guacamole is made to order, even with no salt like I like it. The crunchy chicken tacos and the carnitas tacos are delicious. Order anything from the menu and you will be happy!

I ordered the Carnitas Picado which barely had 1 piece of carnitas in it but the zuccini and bell peppers did taste good. My wife had the chicken tostata that didn't come with a shell or with any dressing. Apparently you need to order the El Sol Tostada to get the shell. How do you call it a tostada if it doesn't come in a shell? Isn't that just a salad? And the chicken in the "tostada" tasted canned. Finally, when we got the bill, I noticed they charged me for a refill on my fountain coke. I didn't even ask for the refill. They just brought it to the table. I'm assuming we just ordered the wrong things since this place is highly rated but after our experience we'll never come back. There are way better options in Montrose and La Canada.
