El Sol de Mexico Jamaica

got an awesome vegetarian burrito, great green salsa on the side

Tremendously awesome quality of food. The prices are wonderful and the portions are generous. My favorite place for Mexican food in the area.

We are visiting from San Diego and has no idea what to expect from NY Mexican food. We were surprised at how good and authentic it was! Everything was freshly made including the chips. At first I thought it seemed expensive, but for the portions and quality, it’s worth it.

We had a delicious breakfast here, with good coffee, delicious going tortillas, fresh avocado and perfectly cooked eggs. It’s clear the owner puts a lot into the special touches in her restaurant. Very clean, very friendly service.

We stumbled in after a long flight from Germany, where the Mexican food situation is charitably described as underwhelming. The woman behind the counter greeted me pleasantly. A couple with suitcases and half-empty plates canoodled at a four top. La Isla contestants mirrored on two large TVs attempted to complete an obstacle course. "Hello," I said, "we are very hungry and in desperate need of tacos. We eat everything... except tripe. No intestines, please. Tongue, beef, pork, chicken, fish - whatever. I have been awake for 28 hours, and I have no capacity left to make a decision. You are the expert. Can you please bring us whatever is the most delicious? I trust your judgement." The woman looked at me, a little puzzled. "How many plates?" "Enough for two adults and a kid with a hollow leg. And... do you have Jarritos? Tamarind, maybe?" "It's in the cooler there. You just want me to make you some plates?" "Yes, please. I think you'll make better decisions than I will. You know what's awesome." We grabbed the Jarritos (Tamarind, Mandarin, Pineapple) and sat down. We watched La Isla while waiting. Mouthwatering scents began to waft toward us. After a short while, the angel behind the counter approached bearing plates laden with everything that I didn't know was missing from my life. Succulent and tender lengua, pliant steak, perfectly plump shrimp, and al pastor redolent of cumin, achiote, sizzling fat and just the right amount of char piled atop rice and wonderfully squidgy refried beans. Nopales!! Fresh green cilantro, tart lime, crisp white onion and tight rolls of steaming hot tortillas, all ready for me to shove into the mouth part of my face. WE DEVOURED IT as locusts upon an untouched field, or perhaps just hungry travelers in search of a delicious meal. It was everything I had hoped it would be, and healed a part of my soul that I didn't realize was broken. I was grateful for every decision in my life that had led me to that moment, eating a perfect taco and swilling tamarind Jarritos with my family.

Everything is great to me - it’s our local spot and I’ll give them my time and money anytime. I love their food and especially their tacos and I love support small business as much as I can. Thumbs up

This restaurant offers authentic mexican cemitas, nachos, burritos, tacos. They are all prepared fresh. Their taste is great. You can also have Coca-Cola from Mexico. It contains cane sugar. They also offer gyros, wraps and hamburgers. Very tasty. If you feel like a beer. Ask them to prepare you a michelada. Enjoy!

the place feels warm and traditional, I have only tried the tortas but they’re by fat the best al pastor tortas in Jamaica (and i’ e tried a few), prices are fair and they have mexican coke which is a must for me
