Sol Vallarta

Second time back to this family owned, traditional, Mexican restaurant.  It still has a typical appearance and menu for its category but with impressive attention to detail that pushed me up a star. We were again greeted promptly and cordially and seated in one of the padded seat booths with hand carved backs.  Menu still seems to feature common dishes but is comprehensive.  I tried the Sol Vallarta burrito which is a 12" flour tortilla filled with beef or chicken, rice, beans and grilled fresh red and green bell pepper and onion.  Rolled, it was about 2" in diameter.  Peppers were still slightly crunchy but onion was soft.

They accommodated my request to switch the burrito sauce for the mole which was again a pleasing blend of bitter/sweet chocolate/chili.  It is not to be missed and is as good as grandma's.  A side salad with 1/4 cup of diced iceberg lettuce, 1 Tbs of guacamole and 1 Tbs of sour cream was included on the plate.

This might not get 4 stars in a big city where it wouldn't stand out as much but deserves them in this setting.

Beer, wine and margueritas are available.   CLOSED ON MONDAY!

This is a great place to eat! We love the food here and have been the many "big city" Mexican places and Sol's is by far the best.  They can customize about anything and always ask if everything was good at the end to make sure you were happy.  If you are in town or driving through do not miss the chance to eat here.

Sols is a great place for consistently tasty mexican food. I love there burritos and chimichangas! Also the bar in the back is a great place to hang out and play pool. Great people and a nice environment. Definitely my favorite place in Colfax!
