Cafe Del Sol

Place is disgusting, roaches crawling everywhere, bathrooms are unkept, food is not authentic, tastes like it is left to rot. The owners treat it like a hang out place and not a business. Could not find a license with HCAD or DSHS.

Nice family owned restaurant. We just moved to this area of Katy and were looking for a close Mexican restaurant to eat at. Food was good and so was service. Nothing fancy, but very casual/​comfortable. Only suggestion is that the salsa have more spice. It had a very good flavor, but would like it more if it were more spicy.
We will visit again. Recommend.

Excellent! Headed home and wanted a good breakfast we were not disappointed. The chiliquitos were delicious and the green sauce fresh and tart. Be sure and ask for the spicy version if you like it hot. A must stop!

Never again I got sick before I even left the Chk was under cooked. The manger didn’t even care. He was like I cooked it my self. I don’t get sick for no reason.

Everything is fresh when ordered. They don’t disappoint me everytime I go there. The green salsa is the best!

This was our first time here and brought my huge mexican family. The staff accommodated our table very well. The rice and beans taste homemade just like my mother home cooking. The chips and salsa were very tasty and the food was great! Will come back again! :)

Not very good. What Tex-​Mex restaurant doesn’t serve chips and salsa? Ordered queso and it never came. Food showed up. Then queso. It was a giant bowl that showed up with a few of the flour tortilla chips. We asked for some regular tortilla chips because we knew we would need more. They were stale. Over all bad service and food.

Service horrible.
No chips and salsa unless you ask.
Forgot our queso.
Fajitas have a soy sauce taste.
So many better other choices in Katy.
And… My hubby said he mens rr is DISGUSTING.

Café Del Sol Restaurant
Delicious food!!! Stopped by for the amazing salsa and handmade tamales to go and found a great Family owned and operated restaurant with authentic recipes. Nice little happy hour at the bar inside. Very nice atmosphere and wonderful staff and crowd. Try the Fajitas!!! Worth the trip!!!

Nice dog friendly place. We sat on the small patio with her dog and enjoyed in enchiladas and migas. We will return.

They have a patio, accessible through the restaurant.
We had our dog with us & we were looking for an outdoor eating spot in the Katy area that would accommodate the need to bring her with us.
They allowed us to bring our dog through the restaurant out to the patio.
I confirmed that they’ve allowed other patrons to do this & are very dog friendly.
They even brought her a small bowl of water without prompting.
It’s a family affair; the kids handle seating & serving. The youngest brought us our salsa, and the middle children were out every few minutes checking on us, clearing tables, bringing food, refilling chips & water… the service really is great!
The chips and queso are house made flour tortilla chips. The queso is your standard TexMex yellow velveeta style.
Breakfast is served all day on weekends.
The food was really good, the ambience was standard Houston TexMex; casual, relaxed, family oriented.
Margaritas are the standard sweet lime & tequila mix (that is to say… good!)
The menu is huge. If you have a hankering for it, they offer it.
They have desserts, they’re just not on the menu.
(The flan is delicious!)
The breakfast tacos were excellent. All of the ingredients were hand sourced; home style, grilled potatoes, skillet grilled tortillas, made exactly to order.
It’s a great, family run, small business that serves good food in a casual environment, with fantastic, attentive service at a reasonable price.

This place looks authentic and after reading the reviews we were excited to try it. BIG DISAPPOINTMENT.
The chips were good and crisp but the green and red salsas were average at best. The huevos rancheros were just ok, I had the eggs over easy, and they just covered them with a very bland sauce. The enchiladas were a little bit better but both the rice and the refied beans were very bland as well.
Based on food I’d give it two stars. One extra star for service and price. Service was good, prompt, everyone was nice and it was cheap.

Needed a Sunday lunch for the family and thought we’d give this place a try. It had nearly no customers when we got there. It was myself, my wife, my mother-​in-​law and my two children.
The server was very polite and attentive. I believe the owners and/​or family was sitting near the entrance. The place was clean and quiet.
We ordered our drinks, decided what to get the kids, and then, as our drinks arrived, we were ready to order for everyone.
Lots of chalupas all around along with some chicken tenders for my daughter and a beef taco with some charro beans for my son. I got a chile rellenos with tostada. We also ordered some queso.
The chips and salsa was tasty. My son and daughter overindulged on that. The Dr. Peppers were good (well mixed) and my mother-​in-​law stayed supplied with fresh coffee.
The queso and flaky ‘chips’ it came with were very good. The beef was seasoned well on the tostados and chalupas. The spanish rice seemed to be made in house, very good. The charro beans were well seasoned.
My daughter ate most of her chicken tenders and dipped her fries (very good fries) in the queso. My son ate his entire soft taco and beans sans the tortilla itself. My wife and mother-​in-​law seemed to enjoy their choices. The poblano pepper in my chile relleno seemed to be a bit on the young/​tough side, still decent taste. The ground beef, again, was seasoned perfectly for the occasion. I would give the food 3.5 stars on its own, service takes this places little higher.
There was some sort of tension — unknown — going around with the owners/​family and our server (not necessarily between them, just all around) but it did not affect the service or food quality.
Short version: service was great, food was very good (even to younger eaters) and the atmosphere perfect for the time and company.
I would go back and my mother-​in-​law — who lives nearby — said she would go back on her own on some random Sunday in the near future.

I think they have family members writing reviews. Worst Mexican food ever! I’ve NEVER given such a low score but I was duped into stopping there by the good reviews. The food was tasteless. Even the Ice Tea was bad. The green sauce with the chips was sour. The red sauce had way too much cumin (only thing with flavor). We were seated and then nobody came back for at least 10 – 15 minutes. It looked like only family members in there. There was a very sweet little girl that seated us (I gave the extra star for her). Lesson learned!

Best hidden little gem in the area, great food and service. I’ll be returning, on a regular basis. Can’t wait to try the breakfast items.

Recently moved to Houston from California and this is by far the best Mexican restaurant we have dined at in Texas. It’s a small quaint restaurant (not decorated fancy) that serves fresh homemade dishes. I had the enchilada verde and a michelada that was amazing. My fiancé had the beef fajitas that were extremely tasty too! I would recommend it to anyone who loves good Mexican food.

After about five visits I can say this is the best Mexican Food in Katy hands down. The Chimichanga, Chille Rellano, Chipotle Chicken are all great. The green sauce is amazing with always fresh chips. The best part is the great service from either the chef/​owner himself or one of the wait staff members. Worth every penny and will be back soon.

I love this place! They are a small neighborhood restaurant with excellent food. Prices are great and they recently added some very friendly new staff. There is also a small patio if you would like to sit outside. Good for a quick meal, family time or just to get a yummy Mexican food fix. The green sauce is a don’t miss!

First time here, staff was friendly, ordered Mexican Chilaquiles, it was really good, I added eggs and steak, I should have left the steak out, everything else was really good. Will come back and try other items.
