“To place an order, you're better off calling. I hate when you stand at the counter and they leave you waiting for a long time on your break I stood at the counter for 10 minutes and called twice to see how long it would take for them to take an order over the phone and the same people standing in front of you answer the phone at two different counters and yet don't even bother to take your order that you are standing in front of them.“
“This is a little Hidden Gem Taco Shop the food is very good considering the price it is extremely reasonable the steak tacos leave a little bit to be desired but the chicken tacos are absolutely fantastic I recommend them over the steak tacos the steak was grizzly a bit dry so I don't recommend it but the chicken tacos were fantastic and I highly recommend them make sure you ask for their house hot sauce it's delicious“
“We visited on a Saturday night, and waited nearly forty minutes to be seated; it was worth it. The service was great. The waiter who took our order didn’t write anything down, but got the order correct. The food was awesome! I highly recommend.“
“This place is amazing. Hidden gem. Owner is so, so nice. Everything is made to order andfresh. We ordered 6 beef, 6 chicken empanadas and two orders of homemade cheese fries. The cheese fries portions could feed multiple people. Very generous on the portion sizes. Worth the money. Incredible flavors. Husband liked the beef empanadas and I enjoyed the chicken ones. The empanadas aren't crunchy or oily, they're soft and perfect. The only issue that we had was that in the chicken empanadas, husband bit into and pulled out two large bones. He nearly choked. But.. the five star rating review still stands. The establishment is next to the McDonald's and across the street from the laundromat. Has plenty of parking and there's also seating outside. We will be returning for more.“
“Fantastic tacos! I had chicken, pork, and carna asada tacos, with rice and beans. Perfection! The meat was tasty and perfectly done. Topped with Onions and cilantro. Lime slices and jalapeño slices on the side. I got the homemade hot sauce Which was tasty. Highly recommend!“
“Yup this is the best place, right off the main road in the space of a closed gas station. I cant lie, i was skeptical looking at it but then… but then i tried it. I had a BIRRIA BURRITO and i swear that slow roasted meat was more moist than the ocean and the burrito was HUGE. (It was $12 but definitely worth two meals) i really love birria, ive tried it all over… this is the best birria ive ever had. i also got 2 chorizo and 2 steak tacos. The flavor and size of the tacos were out of this world. They loaded it up. They take card, touch to pay and apple pay (and cash) i work near the truck and i am positive i will be back!“
“This place is amazing. We found it by chance while traveling. The food is top notch, super delicious. Staff was super friendly, recommended some specialities and was very fast getting the food to us. This place can easily compete with other restaurants and I highly recommend you give it a try, even if you need to wait a little during rush hours.@El Sol Express: Keep all things as is. You guys rock!“
“Just had a beef borito with shrimp outstanding3 soft tacos formy wifeWe have been here quite a few times, this guy is out there year round, if you haven't stopped in you should food is great and alway great service with a smileMerry Christmas to the Sanchez family and a happy newyear“
“Some of the best food I've had in a long time.... very clean restaurant and the staff is very friendly. I got the 3 chicken tacos and chips. They were so good definitely recommend this restaurant I also got the strawberry mocktail. I'll definitely be going back for something I seen on the menu.“
“Best Mexican hands down! I lived in California almost 20 years and ate some bomb authentic Mexican food but never in this area till now. (I’m sure there is more alike in the area) but dang this place is delicious!! I ordered the Quesotacos with Adobo Chicken.they were so juicy with the perfect amount of ingredients. The consome dip was something I’ve never tried before and I was surprised on how yummy. Even the beans were fire.My husband ordered a ranchero burrito which I stole a bite from and that was damn good too.We also got a few adobo chicken tacos for him to try and one for our 2 year old. She ate most of it and was so happy.We will be back soon for some more delicious food!!!!Thank you!!!“
“Most of the entrees are in $10 range. This food tastes better than El Rodeo in Lower Paxton or Mechanicsburg. Husband and I will come here for lunch after we go to the gym. It's almost same prices as a Big Mac meal. Restaurant was clean & filled on Saturday at noon. The portions were huge. I could not finish the meal and son ate my leftovers for dinner. Son's burrito was huge. Sometimes you need to mix it up and eat different cuisines, instead of eating fast food or American food all the time.“
“I stopped going to places like dennys, ihop, and other diners like squeaky rail because the service here is amazing. I never feel judged, talked down to or embarrassed. The food here is great. I usually only ever get breakfast at diners but they dropped the lunch menu and I saw some awesome menu items. Chille rellenos and enchiladas. Love Mexican food and they do it right here. ❤️“
“Sometimes the best food is in the smallest spaces. Looking for a meal while in Harrisburg that was off the beaten path, we decided to try Taco King. It took me back to a vague memory from 3 decades ago about a similar place I found on a back street in Del Rio, Texas, a couple miles from Mexico. I don't remember the name of the restaurant, or the name of the street, but I bet I could go back to it! One of the best places in town for tacos! Just like love can thrive in tiny homes, sometimes the best food is in tiny businesses!“
“Stopped in for breakfast. Nice menu, affordable prices and the food is delicious. Love having tots as a breakfast potato option and those tots were piping hot and crispy delicious. I had sausage eggs Benedict which I have never seen on a menu before. The eggs were perfectly poached, a great plate of food. Don't sleep on this place. Looking forward to our next visit.“
“Placed an online order and said what time it would be done. I showed up few minutes early and talked with the employee, that I was there for pickup and she looked and didn't have a notification. So I showed them the email that I received and they refreshed the screen and it showed up. They were very apologetic, I wasn't to worried as I had no where to be. They said the would take care of as soon as possible. When food came out it was delicious. Honestly glad I had to wait for it.“
“Seated quickly on a Saturday night. A bit surprising as the parking lot was full. The first booth offered to us had very little room, so we were moved to a round booth in corner. Very nice. More quiet.The server was quick to the table and with drinks. She took our dinner orders without an issue. She had questions later and returned to ask for clarification.The food took a bit longer than expected, but not surprising because of the questions.“
“5 stars EVERY.SINGLE.TIME!!!! I can’t say enough good things about this place, from the jalapeño margaritas, to the tacos on happy hour, to the molcajete! I’ve never had a bad meal, service, or drink, and that’s with probably at least a hundred visits!“
“I’ve been eating at this restaurant since they were downtown Harrisburg, on 3rd st. Their service and their food hasn’t changed and has always been excellent. Isabella was our waitress today and accommodated us in every way possible. Always top notch food and service. Highly recommendWheelchair accessibility: I recently had surgery on my foot, and I’m using a wheelchair, they accommodated me by asking me how I would like the table chairs to be placed. This is very nice and kind. Thank you!“
“We stopped in on a Wednesday evening. I’ve been to El Sol’s other locations but this was my first time here. We sat at the bar and had a couple drinks, chips and salsa and two meals. The bartender was friendly and attentive. The food was very good as I expected. Usually the parking lot is full when I drive by and it was pretty crowded this time too but it didn’t look overly crowded inside. There were plenty of open seats at the bar and open tables so that parking lot can be deceiving.Vegetarian options: Mushroom tacos were on the menu and they had several salads and other items I’m sure could be modified.Parking: Parking lot typically looks full but there is plenty of space inside the restaurant.“
“I am now addicted and excited to have found this place! They have chicironnes and I know it’s spelled wrong! They have hibiscus juice and churros and tacos and good nachos. They also have sweets and fresh meat. I will be going here forever!“
“Want to experience authentic Mexican cuisine without traveling to Mexico? This is the place. Great street style tacos on corn tortillas. So reasonably priced too. I love this place. All the different meats are good but I prefer the chicken and beef. Usually comes with a tasty cooked pepper and all kinds of delicious salsas. If you want authentic tacos, nothing in the area comes close. It is known for great food at a reasonable price. it is casual dining with basic booth seating. Not in the nicest part of Harrisburg, but completely safe during the day.“
“The food is good, not great but not bad. Honestly, the chips and salsa are the best thing there in my opinion’! And sometimes it’s difficult to understand your waiter, because some of the workers there don’t speak clear, or loud enough English, which makes it a little hard to understand them. Their margaritas and other drinks are great! I highly recommend the lime margarita if you’re into sour drinks.“
“Holy cow! I popped in to grab a quick bite to eat before grabbing the train. I got a burrito that was a big as my head. It was just rice, beans and cheese and it still had excellent flavor and a delicious soft tortilla. All the veggies looked super fresh and delicious. I can’t wait to come back!“
“I was in the area for a sporting event and got the opportunity to go Neato Burrito for dinner with my family. I have told them it was the best Burrito that I’ve ever had so returning 25 years later to find them same great taste and service. You had to go if you get the chance.I couldn’t take anything away for this but I did miss the 40+ hot sauce options from 25 years ago.“
“It's a perfect place for a solid meal after a workout. The prices are awesome for how much you get and how good the food is. I highly recommend the pineapple jalapeño salsa.Dietary restrictions: They're very accommodating if you have a gluten intolerance!“
“I really liked coming here. Great authentic place. The service could have been better but they were definitely trying their best with only 3 employees. You can watch them make your food, we were at the West Shore Farmers Market where we watched one person prep all the ingredients, one person cook, and one person taking all the orders. We got the Empanadas and Taquitos. Everything we got was only $14 for the both of us and we couldn't finish all of it. Both could have used more flavor, but that hot sauce is soooo good they top everything with the red sauce (it's very spicy) but it made everything better. Overall, good food, and made me feel good eating local!Ps- loved their sign giving you the directions to the nearest taco bell ?“
“I thought the food was good. I got 3 flour tacos and I thought they were really good. They are kind of bland but I kind of like that authentic taste. My boyfriend got a sampler and he said everything was so tiny he didn’t really taste it. I was kind of shocked with how much it cost to eat there. The Spanish rice is ok, I probably would try the cilantro lime rice next time. The refried beans were pretty good too. Overall I would go back and get the ground beef tacos again. Just very pricey.“
“Food was good and fresh. The chef prepares & get your order to the table. Much appreciated! The service is quick. Portion is good. Seating is quaint but spacious. We had good experience on a very busy day just before Christmas. Recommended!“
“This is a chain of restaurants, everyone is a different showroom of enjoyment. Food is a combination of ingredients you chose. Burritos are HUGE and delicious. You can preorder, do takeout, or just walk in and order.Place is clean, food is fresh, chain will be around forever.Vegetarian options: Order meatless and substitute beans.Kid-friendliness: Can make a cheese caso sandwich or salsa and chipsParking: Most locations are with large public parking lot.Wheelchair accessibility: Ramp entrance or at grade for all locations I use..“
