My crabcake salad was delicious. The greens were crisp with both red and yellow pepper strips. My black truffle salt fries were savory.

Service I'm not able to rate fairly because I've only done pick up orders. Atmosphere I could see myself dining in. The several occasions I have eaten here the food has always been well prepared. Appealing and the taste was good.

Great food, service and atmosphere! Never a negative experience at either location (Martinsburg, WV or Winchester, VA). Just know that the Martinsburg location doesn't serve alcohol.

We're just some road-weary guys rollin' out of town. That was the thinking, anyway. This was on the opening leg from PA to Nashville. Yeah, we drove for whatever reason. But hey, road trips are fun, and trying food from places you'll most likely never see again is a bit of nostalgia tossed with whimsy. Like back in the 60s when you'd drive halfway across the country with the family, stopping in a different diner the entire way there. Cafe del Sol is a regional chain with six locations. You'll find nachos, pizza, paninis, tacos, and wraps. This is an overused trope, but there really is something for everyone here. Kind of reminds me a bit of the Ground Round back in the day. You could get anything from fajitas to chicken parmesan. For this stop, we got a little bit of everything. Some nachos to start (that never come with enough salsa/sour cream), a pizza, panini, and wrap. Nachos had a pretty decent layer of toppings. Invariably some nachos at the bottom get missed and you get a bed of plain, boring chips, but it really wasn't the case here. There was a good even spread that maximized the area of the large serving plate. This ensured nice, even distribution. And they didn't skimp on the toppings, either. Just need more than a single ramekin each of salsa and sour cream. Their pizza is pretty on point. Lots of hot, gooey cheese with serious stretch factor. The Meat Lover's pie lived up to its name. Could hardly see the cheese underneath the meaty goodness on top. Crust was nice a crispy, too. And this place claims to have its own brick oven on the website (we were sat too far from the kitchen area to see), so might as well take advantage of it. I suppose you really shouldn't be serving pizza if you don't have one. That'd be pretty bold of you in this day in age. An age of artesian brick oven pizzerias. Now here's where things start to go a bit downhill. I got this Caesar Wrap. It's grilled chicken. Comes with fries. But they, um, grilled it? I'm not sure if they were supposed to toss it on the panini press first. My friend ordered a panini, so maybe they got a little panini-press happy back there. I don't mind a grilled wrap, I guess, but this had Caesar-soaked lettuce inside. So after it came off the grill, I was forced to take bite after bite of warm, slimy, gross lettuce. That really is one of the worst textures you'd want in your mouth. The classic crunch you get from biting into romaine was completely absent. I remember one episode of Kitchen Nightmares where one of the restaurants was serving a grilled Caesar salad, Gordon ordered it, and yeah, sure enough out comes this giant grilled piece of lettuce. Gordon can't believe it, and rightfully so it seems. Lastly, just kind of a minor thing, but the fries were very meh. Decently seasoned, but soaked in grease and mushy. They had absorbed so much grease sitting there, they had become engorged with oil. It was seeping out the edges. You could wring it like a towel. Crisp fries are the way to go, and crisp these were not. All in all an experience as varied as the menu. Everything is going to be all over the place, from menu offerings to quality. Perfectly fine destination for a quick workday lunch or casual night out. Or when you and your mates are passing on through on their way to the America's heartland for a week of fun activities.

Philly Cheesesteak was good. They use ciabatta bread for their sandwiches so that's a little different. They also up charged for lettuce & tomatoes added to cheesesteak sub.

One of the very best restaurants in Martinsburg! My personal favorite. The food is always fresh and delicious. I have yet to try something on the menu that I did not like. Excellent food and plating. The staff is friendly as well. Looking for delicious food, cafe del sol is the place!
The wife and I eat here once every week or two. We have never had any reason to complain about anything. Highly recommend!

Adobo Carnita Tacos were phenomenal, for me they had a mild heat, and the side dish of rice and black beans complimented the flavor of the tacos perfectly.

While my service was great i was highly disappointed to find that they don’t have a changing table in the restrooms and my daughter had a poopy diaper. It’s already tough taking babies out but then not having a changing table makes it worse. Please consider installing some in the men’s and women’s

I had shrimp pesto and strawberry sponge cake tonight. It was very good. I loved the sponge cake. It always makes me think of when my grandmother would make it. I love it. This place is very nice and modern. It's definitely more modern and up class than anywhere else I've seen in the area. I do have one request though. I'm not sure if this restaurant would do it. But I saw New Zealand had apple flavored horse semen shots. If you all did something like that I'd pay up to $50 for a shot. I'm sure there are a few adventurous people in Martinsburg. It's considered the most expensive liquid in the world. Cafe del sol would feel classy. I think you all should give it a try. Thanks for the hospitality and I hope you all do great with business.
