Sol Mexican Grill

Sol is a fast casual place if you want to a quick meal. We came on a Friday night, and it wasn't too busy but it got busier as the night went on. They sell bowls, burritos, tacos, quesadillas, and salads. I got a carne asada bowl with most of the toppings. The meal itself was pretty decent, but needed some more flavor. Portion size was good too. They also have horchata and tamarind drinks: I would recommend the tamarind drink as it wasn't too sweet and flavorful.It seems most people do takeout, but there are a few tables on the upper levels if you wanted to sit down to eat. To use the bathroom, you must ask an employee for a key for the downstairs bathroom.

It was a disappointing Taco Tuesday! Yellow cheese at a Mexican restaurant is definitely a red flag!The meat was overcooked and under-seasoned and the fried fish was soggy. They also served the tacos on flour tortillas, another red flag! It's wild that they had a line, maybe it's just one of the few options around, or the people of DC have just accepted subpar tacos as the norm.

Sol Mexican Grill is fast casual, like a chipotle. We stopped by here after being in the convention center, it was a quick walk from it. The inside is pretty small, they had probably 5 tables upstairs, and they had a few tables outside. If they are busy, you might have to take your food to eat somewhere else. I ordered the nachos. They had a lot of toppings to choose from, which was nice. The food tasted okay. The toppings didn't have a lot of flavor. Also, my nachos didn't get much queso on them. The restaurant was pretty dirty, the whole place needed a good clean. This place was fine but I wouldn't go out of my way to get it again.

I stopped by for an early lunch for the first time in many years. I had enjoyed orders in the past, but this time was a huge disappointment.When I arrived I was the only customer, and I have to say, they didn't seem pleased to see me. Not hostile, not rude, just not remotely welcoming or warm. Whatever, not a big deal. I ordered what I wanted (a burrito and a side of chips and queso) and got out without any issue.The location, interior and exterior are nice, but I was in a rush to get back to the office, so I took my food to go.I wish I had stayed because I could have done something about my food.The burrito was fine. Edible, but very bland. Even with their hottest salsa it just fell flat, next time I would ask them to go light on the rice, and go extra heavy on spicy flavorful toppings.The real disappointment was the chips and queso though. It isn't cheap, maybe $5 and all you get is a small bag of chips and a small sauce container (~2oz?) of queso. Whatever, it is DC, I knew what I was getting into. The reason I was so disappointed is that it was inedible and went strait in the trash. Chips were a bit stale, but not inedible, it was the queso that was so gross. It was super liquidy, think the consistency of a light soup, and the favor was similarly washed out. If you maybe mixed gas station nacho cheese 50/50 with water, that is what you would get.Maybe I hit them at a bad time, maybe the sauce thickens over the course of the day, but for my $19 I could have had a better meal elsewhere.

Came for the taco Tuesday special. I wasn't sure if the meat would have flavor but the ey were good. Definitely would go back. I got a carne asada, polllo and carnitas taco.

Honestly, it feels really weird to give a fast casual Mexican place a five star review, but I have to admit, the food at Sol was delicious. Everything tasted very fresh, and so many elements of the food were more authentic than what you would get at a chipotle or another business.The portions were great, and the service was good, too. I got the chicken. If you want steak, it takes a little longer to cook. The chicken was extremely flavorful. The green sauce here is the secret weapon. It's absolutely delicious and it will leave you wanting more. I will absolutely be returning when I'm in the area and hungry.

I wanted something really quick to eat, so I stopped in at this take out restaurant. I walked in, and the setup was like a Chipotle. I ordered the 2 chicken tacos with everything and paid and left. When I dug in, the tacos were delicious! I enjoyed it and had a good experience.

I ordered the bowl with chicken and a side of chips on queso. The portions were great and the food was delicious. I used Uber eats and they got the food to me quickly from order to delivery.

Sol Mexican Grill is your usual Chipotle style restaurant that has Taco's, Burrito's, Quesadilla's, and Bowl's. It's easy to find being a few doors down from the CVS. Interior is small and there is very limited seating upstairs. I went with the bowl option and chose Chorizo as my protein. They have a nice selection of rice, beans, and all the usual items you would include. Four sauces are available and they have cups if you want them on the side. Bowl was good and the sauce was fine. Service was fast and the price reasonable for the area.

This use to my favorite spot when they opened but now I don't feel when I eat it and the food test also changing
