What Keith S likes about Cafe El Sol:
We visited for the Friday fish buffet and it was wonderful. There was a variety of fried and baked fish, along with a beef dish that resembled fajitas. The buffet also included a selection of fresh salads, rice, and beans. To top it off, there was a live duo performing soothing Latin music. And of course, we enjoyed some Modelos. It was a lovely evening out! View all feedback. What Kellie Villalobos doesn't like about Cafe El Sol:
The waitress was very kind, but unfortunately, the food was disappointing. My husband had the carne frita, which lacked flavor, and the Puerto Rican rice didn’t really taste like authentic Puerto Rican or Mexican food—it seemed like a strange blend of both that just didn’t work. I ordered the churrasco, but it turned out to be a low-quality cut of meat that was tough and had an off taste. Overall, we were not impress... View all feedback.
