Villa Del Sol - Merrillville

Finally, an authentic Mexican restaurant in Merrillville!!. I am from Texas and I know what authentic food is, and trust me this place is authentic!!! the food is amazing, the sangrias are great!!! large plates, and the price are even better.<br/ <br/ Had me some chips and the green salsa, they were delicious. For the meal, I got one of the Sizzling Fajitas with steak, chicken, shrimp that comes with onions, and, bell peppers, served with a side of rice and beans, pico de gallo, guacamole, sour cream, and tortillas. This is all for $14.00 with every part of the plate sizzling with flavor and amazingness. <br/ <br/ Nice atmosphere, love the patio, friendly waitresses<br/ <br/ I wish I could have this for dinner every night. Can't wait to be back.

They have the best steak fajitas you will have in your life. The only downfall is that you won't enjoy fajitas anywhere else.

Pros: good (borderline great) food, priced perfectly, great hostess and waitstaff. Cons: at this time the outside seating area appearance is quite rough. Easy fixes but greatly dampers experience to look at. Might not be a diamond in the rough, but emerald definitely. We ordered the Sol Maya Combination and 3 meat Fajita Dinner. Once set in front of us, the smell was great and the plate setting was appealing. Opting to sit outside was great. The inside was a bit too dark for afternoon eating. Outside is almost a perfect balance of scattered tables like a social event. The one downfall is the different little tables messing up the scene. Some landscape and cosmetic changes are needed as well. For this, I give it 3.7 out of 5. Next time I hope to bump it to a 4.5.

One of my favorite places, love the out door garden. Good food and a great place to stop if just for drinks. I wish you offered delivery!  (We work long hours and not allowed to leave to pick up)

The food is delicious EVERY TIME!!! The wait staff is super friendly and fast. Everyone is always smiling and the environment is great. They have great fajitas!
