Taqueria del Sol

Taqueria del Sol is a great place for casual tacos. Guests stand in line, order and take a seat, similar to the systems of many fast-casual restaurants, but the speed at which "from scratch" Southern, Mexican and Southwestern dishes are delivered, and the taste of such original selections creates a dining experience unlike many others. Taqueria del Sol features a full bar with a wide variety of tequila, liquor and bottled beer selections. Innovative margaritas, such as the West Side (Herradura Reposado, Patron Citronge) and a "Build-Your-Own Margarita" option are just some of the great drink choices.
