Cafe Del Sol

Cafe del Sol has been my favorite hometown restaurant for many, many years. It has always been a go-to for special occasions, hosting out of town guests and now is very much my standard takeout place on a Saturday night. My original dish of choice was the Red Snapper Al Mojo de Ajo. But many years ago I made the switch to Enchiladas de Mariscos. I have tried the Mole Poblano and fajitas. I have been known to get a burrito for lunch. There are other things on the menu I'm sure I'd be happy with. But, when it's Cafe del Sol night, I crave the adobo marinated seafood and chipotle tequila cream sauce of the seafood enchiladas. They are served with yummy cilantro rice, diced mango, salsa fresca, and a small salad. The rotating dishes of my party include Camarones al Mojo de Ajo, the Red Snapper, Fish Tacos, and El Combo. We always get Quesadilla de Camaron as a starter. The quesadilla comes with a side of guacamole, sour cream, salsa fresca, and diced mango for your dipping pleasure. A side order of chips comes with an addictive salsa verde. The restaurant is not without its challenges. It is a small space and often only has one server. The two servers, Tammy and Sonia, have been there forever and are very loyal to their customers. If you are looking for a place with constant stimulation, the latest and greatest in restaurant decor, this isn't the place for you. I come back over and over for the flavors I can't resist.

Recently ordered takeout from Cafe del Sol and it was pretty good. I recommend calling rather than ordering online as their online menu often excludes a lot of offerings for some reason. Their chicken burrito is really tasty. It also comes with a side of chips and salsa. It's a little bit on the pricier side, but I would say it's one of the better burritos you can find in the Menlo Park area. We also ordered nachos which were pretty mediocre. The service is quick and the people working there are very friendly!

Cafe Del Sol features my favorite Mexican food in the area, and I've been coming here for many years! The food is delicious and it is located downtown, near Bank of America.I typically order the chicken nachos or the chicken tostada. I have no idea what seasoning they use on the chicken, but it is to die for! I've also tried some of their other appetizers which were also very good.Taking way one star just because the inside is pretty awkward to navigate (you have to squeeze between tables), and I do wish they offered margaritas haha. I also feel like it's always super quiet in there when dining in. I feel like if they had fun music playing or offered weekend brunch or something, it might get more customers in there.

I would have taken a picture of my food but I loved it so much I forgot. This place is great. I loved my 2 item meal with taco and enchilada. The yelp check in didn't work but the waitress hooked our son up with a free quesadilla. Great service!

Had some takeout for lunch. A fair and fairly balanced meal, but I think could be better. Can't comment much on the service or dining experience. Overall, wished there was more food for an entree and the chicken was more tender.Mole Poblano - sauce was very present, meshed well with everything served. Minimal rice though so there was a lot of leftover sauce and not enough to pair with the beans or the chicken. Salad was just tossed on top. Baked beans were pretty standard. The chicken was solid but a bit firm and difficult to tear apart. Could be more tender.

Great service, delicious food, can't recommend this place enough love it. I had the Chile reyeno & salmon plate. Light yet filling and healthy.

I'm writing this review to ask the owners of this place to take action right away.Please fix your menu very hard to read , please visit Must have menus extremely easy to use platform to make menus and flyers anything you business need .Also taste the food before bringing out , just get a chance to order guacamole, was brown and taste like nothing, missing freshness and flavor also acidity, green salsa was pretty much green water , pico bland!Try more traditional dishes . I understand the you're in non Latino neighborhood and a lot of folks don really know good Mexican food but there's always room to improve.I wish the best to you .

Shrimp were dry, I expected them to be in a creamy sauce, but all I got with them was a cold salad. The only warm item on my plate was a blob of rice. Best part of my meal was the margarita. Not surprised that there was only one other person in the restaurant besides the two of us.

I found this restaurant to be quite wonderful. Our meals were excellent. I had Camerones Diabla and the shrimp were cooked perfectly (a difficult task in many restaurants). Their salsa verde was spicy but not killer and the pico de gallo was so fresh and the chips were crisp and warm. There was a mango salsa that was a perfect compliment to the shrimp.We also indulged and both got flan. Smooth and light with just the right caramel sauceThe service was wonderful also. Will definitely be coming back to this place and will be telling my friends to stop in.

I went back to this place and ordered a grilled shrimp burrito, and I really loved it. So far I'm very happy I found another place where you can still buy lunch at a fair price.That shrimp burrito has an amazing taste and the green salsa that comes with it , you may want to ask for another one because it tastes really good and you won't be disappointed. I recommend it to anybody or at least try it out.
