Everything is fresh and flavorful. Our go to for years. Try the organic/skinny margaritas.
Food and service was great! The menu was extensive and everything looked amazing! Ambiance was nice and comfy i definitely will be back to try more things!
El sol on third street is honestly my favorite el sol in the area. They somehow manage to make the space cozy and intimate without making it ever feel congested. When you walk in you are always greeted by a host with a smile, and honestly all the staff is super attentive and friendly. All the drinks are made with fresh ingredients such as fresh lime, lemon, strawberries, etc. so make sure to treat yourself to a well made cocktail on your visit. My go to are the fajitas always, they are served sizzling hot ( you truly hear the cast iron sizzling when they bring it to the table) and are delish! you can also add cheese all over if you'd like, you can also ask for mild or hot sauce to cover the fajitas or on the side. They will make accommodations for you which is always a nice bonus when visiting a new place. Can't wait for my next visit.
Cute place, great food. We enjoyed the nachos and tacos. Great flavors. The service was fine. We would go back if we ever find ourselves in Harrisburg again.
Get the chips and salsa! Literally the best salsa I've ever had and I eat out a lot. If I'm in the area I will now have to stop just for the fresh homemade chips and salsa. The ambiance was great. Beautifully decorated. The bartender Randall was such a vibe! The birria burrito was mid. A large size but it's just meat and rice. I thought there would be more ingredients. No cheese or beans... but the rice had green peas in it. Not gandules but sweet peas. The flavor was good and the consume was flavorful as well. But the salsa and margarita was my favorite
