Friendly staff, good food and price. Chicken Chimichanga is awesome. I guess Deadpool will like this too. The reason I removed 1 star is a sauce bottle was dirty. View all feedback.

What Alan H dislikes about Del Sol:
The food was very Americanized. They didn't even know what a Cadillac Margarita was! The interior had a nice authentic touch, but downtown Dunedin feels a bit rundown. View all feedback.

Lovely dinner here last night. We sampled the crispy chicken wings and the polenta chicken corn chips with guacamole a chimichanga and a pulled pork burrito. Everything was flavoursome and cooked nicely. Just a few suggestions, perhaps an option to request a side of limes and coriander? Just to give everything that extra Mexican Zing! Good tip book online turn up early to avoid the rush this place gets super busy!

Burrito was cold inside. Had to be sent back. Ribs were not cooked well, should be falling off the bone, they didn't. Guacamole tasted awful. Potato wedges were not wedges, more like potato bravas.

The worst Mexican meal I have ever had. I had to send my burrito back because it was COLD inside.

Have been here many times before and always want to try something new on the menu as all the dishes look great. Recently came in and enjoyed the spicy prawn and chorizo soft tacos yum! The chimichangas were a massive hit for the boys saying they would order them again. Food arrived quickly and staff were friendly and attentive. Great cosy atmosphere on a chilly night.

The food was excellent! I really enjoyed the chicken with chipotle dip as a starter; it was very crispy and well-seasoned. The main course portions are quite large, so it might be a good idea to get two starters and share one main between two people. This is the best meal I've had in Dunedin so far!

Overall, it was a nice experience. The vegetarian options were quite tasty, and the menu featured the typical Mexican dishes. The standout was definitely the decor—it really adds to the atmosphere. I can envision this place getting quite lively once COVID restrictions are lifted. I would definitely recommend dining here!

This restaurant has great potential! Its location is fantastic, the food is quite good, and the staff are really friendly. It just needs a bit of an upgrade in the food quality to truly stand out. A happy hour could definitely make it even more appealing!

I recently tried Mexican food for the first time, and I was impressed! The restaurant's ambiance was fantastic, with a vibrant atmosphere that was perfect for Dunedin's chilly winter. The large greenhouse-style skylight and colorful interior details created a pleasant environment, although it can get a bit echoey when large groups are present. The staff was incredibly helpful and recommended the best vegetarian dish for me. I ended up ordering the Vegetarian Burrito, which was a delightful surprise. It was served with a fresh salad, not the typical sad, dry one. The chips were delicious, as always, and the burrito was packed with flavor and so large that I struggled to finish it. We were seated near the bar, which made for a cozy dining experience.

After waiting 40 minutes for our three vegan orders, none of the dishes served at our table were vegan. We then had to wait an additional half hour, and the service was lacking, with no apologies offered. Overall, the food was just average.

The servers and host were very welcoming and friendly. They checked on us multiple times to see if everything was alright with our food. I ordered the pulled pork chimichanga, which was a generous portion and bursting with flavor, accompanied by a side salad. It tasted even better with a dash of Tabasco. The vegetarian fajitas were decent, but I think another tortilla would have been nice since there was quite a bit of filling.

Update30/7/19 Came for a friend’s birthday dinner and the waitress today was so much more lovely. The atmosphere was really nice and chill, and really enjoyed it. Wanted to get ribs but saw a pic and wasn’t super excited for them so went with something new! Ordered the pork belly tacos and baja steak taco for $4 taco night! Had a sip of the passionfruit mocktail and it was average, slight zing mixed with a mint but not something I’d reach for again. The server was not very pleasant and my plate had mayo on the bottom, not really pleased. Pork belly tacos were tasty and the pork pretty tender and not dry. Could have had a bit more flavour explosion though when compared with the steak) but not bad! The beans were smoky on their own, but when paired with the fatty pork it worked really well Baja steak tacos were fantastic! The Siracusa and tender beef was an exquisite flavour, and super flavorful. Would recommend! Initially I thought the tacos were quite small as a main but it did me well and I was super satisfied! Overall the experience was better, still not stoked with their customer service but definitely more open to Mexican food now! Spacious seating and pretty decor. Customer service wasn’t the best as the lady serving us looked unimpressed the whole night. Taking off a star for that. Got two tapas even though really wanted to splurge on the mexikoto pork spare ribs main. Oh well next time! Jalapeño and cheese poppers were a delight, crisp and crunchy outside with a cheesy centre. The cheese wasn’t super stretchy but more creamy which I appreciated. The flavor was more creamy than salty which makes it taste great in its own, but I couldn’t taste the jalapeño. 8/10 Crispy chicken wings; honesty drawn to this because I love anything with the word crisp. They were tender and lived up to their name; crispy, but nothing super special. I would still prefer kfc wicked wings over these! Not awful or anything like that though, just not special. 7/10

This place got me thinking I gotta visit Latin america! Was visiting Dunners couple days for work and happened to walk by this place. Thought I'd give it a go and man I was not disappointed. I had a solo dinner but was entertained by the music and the great food. (Honestly super flavourful) and came out pretty quick. Service was topnotch A1! Super friendly, helpful and good bants. Only wished they were based in AKL cause I wouldve been a local

We shared a chicken quesadilla, which could have used a bit more chicken, and tried the polenta chicken, which consisted of fried chicken bites. We also ordered two draft beers (low-carb Export), which were nice and cold. The service was very friendly, and the ambiance of the place was bright and colorful with lively Latin music playing. They have a full bar, so they might be busier in the evenings. We paid at the bar when we were finished, and the total for our snacks and two beers came to 48 New Zealand dollars, which is about 30 USD.

The drink prices are reasonable, but it would be great if the cocktails were a bit cheaper or if there was a happy hour. I attended a farewell for a coworker and ordered the ribs. The sauce was delicious, but the ribs themselves were a bit chewy and somewhat dry, especially compared to Mamacita's, where they are tender and fall off the bone. The chips were nice, and the corn salad could use a little more dressing. On a positive note, the tapas were good!
