With the great mexican taqueries and casual places in this area, there are few solid sit down mexican places. The other two are Reposado in Palo Alto, and Taqueria Del Sol (not to be confused). Cafe Del Sol is a little cramped - multiple small rooms - but the tastes are bright and clean. The wine list and sangria is... More

This is our go to restaurant for lunch- The food is good ( Dinner is even better with a larger menu). Service is friendly, sometimes a little overwhelmed and the noise level can be a little high. My favorite items- any kind of burrito and Chicken Mole ( only available at dinner). Their tortilla chips are freshly made and delicious.

Forget any of the French restaurants on Santa Cruz Ave., Del Sol is the best restaurant in town. Every dish is outstanding, and the biggest problem is deciding what to get. Luckily, many of the ingredients are the same no matter what you get, including the tasty rice, beans, and salsa fresca. The enchiladas de mariscos are my favorite, with... More

My husband and I ate here on a Saturday afternoon with our son and his family. We loved the food - it was fresh and tasty. The service was excellent! There is a green salsa that they serve here with chips and the other more typical salsa - you have to try it! It's amazing. The menu selections are traditional... More

We took our search for reasonable Mexican food to Cafe Del Sol on a Friday night. It was my first visit. It was generally enjoyable, but did not stand out enough to earn a 4th star. The small restaurant filled up for a while, and the wait-staff seemed to struggle a bit to keep up with the workload. Our food... More

This place never disappoints. We've been here multiple times and always wonder why we don't eat here even more. Food always tastes fresh and light, not heavy and cheesy.
