El Sol de Cholula

I was in the area by chance and was craving some tacos (per usual lol). This particular place was in close proximity and had great reviews so I decided to check it out. Plus I was in a rush so needed takeout on a dime.
Yummy tacos for a cheap price! Family business that sells Mexican snacks and drinks and of course food. Both mother and daughter (presumably) were working the stovetop and pumped out seasoned carnitas tacos that left me wanting more. Mind you, I ordered 3 tacos for a total of $ 7.50 so that should tell you something. Stop by if in the area. It’s worth it.

This is definitely a gem in the neighborhood :)
Aside from the enchiladas, I am now addicted to the «two eggs with green sauce» I love that green sauce! Recently, I went there while I was sick just to get some breakfast food and it was just absolutely satisfying (as usual).
The staff might not know how to speak English, so just point and order. No problemo.

Yum yum yum. Friendly. Fast. Good!!!
Tacos are excellent and I always get tostadas too

Falls ihr mal in Bushwixk landet und authentische Burritos essen möchtet, solltet ihr auf jeden Fall hier hin! Das essen wird von einem älteren Ehepaar frisch zubereitet. Es hat etwas Wohnzimmeratmosphäre. Parallel läuft eine Mexikanische Telenovela oder es läuft spanisch mexikanische Musik.
Btw; die «hot sauce» ist sehr zu empfehlen!

This is my neighborhood spot! They’re so nice and cook like maniacs. The food is nothing to get too excited about, but the nachos and enchiladas are sure to please. Nice and greasy, good for hangovers. Totally honest food from good folks. Check this place out!

Great food every time. The salsa is excellent. Great service. Go for the chicken burrito or the cemitas or nachos!

Great food, tacos, quesadillas, but their service is bad theyre pretty rude the few times ive ordered.

The portions are ok but the meat is a little suspect for me. Better than a few places around but overall 2 maximum 2.5 stars

If you are looking for cheap and delicious tacos that is to-​go then this is the place. It is essentially a bodega that also has a kitchen. You can get tacos and some modelo in one stop. I bought 3 tacos and they were great, it got a chicken, steak, and carnitas tack. The employees are also super sweet.

WHAT IS THIS MADNESS. If we hadn’t been desperate, starving, cranky, and impatient, this would have been my LAST choice. I’m a tad pretentious when it comes to picking out restaurants, but after spending the entire day moving furniture into our new apartment and snapping at each other out of exhaustion and hunger, we couldn’t be bothered to clean ourselves up enough to visit a fancier eatery. This place was recommended to us, so we set out to find it. When we spotted it from a block away, we were terribly disappointed: it was a small convenience store, with a little counter on the side where you could order Mexican food. What? This isn’t a restaurant! What idiot recommended this to us?!
But again, we were desperate, so we continued inside and ordered. Despite being mostly a convenience store, there was seating available. The wait was a little long, but WORTH IT. We were SHOCKED by the quality of food here. My tacos (soft shell, vegetarian) were phenomenal. The ingredients were fresh and beautifully seasoned, the sauces were fabulous, and the prices were great. I will absolutely return here whenever I’m in the mood for authentic Mexican!

The only reason I buy food from this place is because it’s the closest Mexican restaurant to me. The tacos are flavorless but I highly recommend Gringas! They’re delicious. Everything else try at your own risk. The staff aren’t exactly friendly either.

Was very happy to find. Tacos were ok-​to-​good. Chicken was a little dry but with the green hot sauce, tasty. The chorizo was spicy, just wished there was more in the taco. It’s in my area and is a go to for that taco craving.

If you are looking for a sit down restaurant type experience then this might not be the place you want to go. It’s basically a bodega and good for lunch. They are always super sweet to us and make sure we have everything we need but we are here a lot. Tacos to me are always boring and the same everywhere. The gem here is the tortas and burritos. I would suggest the chicken milanese torta with chipotle peppers or a cecina burrito and make sure you get the spicy green sauce.

Half bodega, half taco joint, El Sol de Cholula has about 4 tables and a little bar that sits up against the window. There’s no atmosphere, but what do you expect when your table is right next to stacked cans of beans and coolers full of Jaritos, Mexican Coke, and Modelo Especial?
OK, so I ordered 2 pork tacos and 1 enchilada taco, all topped with, my favorite, cilantro and onions. The tortillas were decent, not fresh, but not too stiff as tends to be the case for most tacos I get around here (ahem Los Hermanos with the tortilla factory right there). The meat was OK… not super flavorful, but also not over-​cooked. The tacos were, well, just OK again. I can’t believe I’m saying this, and I haven’t tried sooo many places in thise area, but I still miss the Bonita that was over on Dekalb. They had some good tacos in this hemisphere of Brooklyn.

This place is awesome! We moved around the block and have eaten there about five times in the last few days. Their burritos are so big that they don’t even attempt to roll them up. The food is fresh, filling, and amazing. I’m telling all my friends to go here. I prefer it to Tortilleria Mexicana Los Hermanos. Don’t get me wrong, that places is good too, but this place has more options and is faster. Their breakfast is insane and huge as well. Just know if you like sort of spicy or REALLY spicy. The delivery is super fast, too.

I just ordered the chorizo cemita with crema… she asked if I wanted everything on it, I said yes… he asked if I wanted it spicy, I said yes. It was god damn delicious. $ 6, done and done.

Best tacos in Brooklyn, specifically the pork. Green salsa is a lil too spicy though.

My twitter name (@chorizotaco) happened because of this place. Their tacos are amazing. I don’t like any tacos in any borough after eating here three years ago. I hate that none of my friends live in Bushwick anymore because I used to get so excited about visiting my friends’ apartments and ordering chorizo tacos as soon as I arrived.
They also deliver within ten minutes most of the time. LOVE.

Excellent food, friendly service, good prices. What more could you ask for? Go here if you want some authentic Mexican food with servers who won’t scowl at you for your non-​hispanicness.

it is really important that you get the torta milanesa from this spot, for sure!

I tried to keep this place secret for so long– selfish perhaps, but alas Pandora is out!
