Traditional dishes such as Fajitas, Burritos and Tortas are accompanied by unique authentic dishes from the Guadajara Region of Mexico. One of the favorites from El Sol is our Molcajete.

What is a Molcajete?
The words "molcajeta and tejolote" are Spanish for "mortar and pestle". These volcanic rock bowls, originally used by the ancient Aztecs, are still used in Mexican cooking to grind spices and make sauces. We use them as a serving bowl for our hosue specialties, the molcajete mixto and molcajete de camarones. Molcajetes are served with rice, beans, and tortillas.

Try a Molcajete on your next visit. There are a few to choose from with steak, chicken, shrim, mushrooms that are garnished with cilantro, spring onions, cactus and banana peppers.

Parrilladas
Also, fun for one person or couples, is our Parrilladas. Parrilladas are a small tabletop grill with your choice of meats, garnished with spring onions, cactus and banana peppers.

Salads
We also have a wide variety of salads available with or without meat and seafood.

Although not quite as popular in Mexico, dessert is something we often like to have after a meal here in the US. We offer a few traditional Mexican desserts to complete your dining experience. Ask your server about our homemade flan (vanilla custard)!
