Don Sol

Price pretty cheap, Draft beer offer 1 dollar each which was nice, nice personal, big downfall was microwaved food! Ordered a burrito del rey which came with refried beans and rice, the plate came within 4 minutes after ordering and the plate was super hot, you couldn’t touch the plate, so it came strayed out of the microwave. beans and rice were super dry and the burrito, well the chicken was cold inside. The price of the burrito was 8.90 $, but for that I don’t expect microwaved food though… still 2 stars for fairly cheap price. but please don’t ever microwave food, for this people can buy precooked burritos at the supermarket and put it in the microwave at home for 3 $…

When I’m craving Mexican food, I always choose Don Sol. In my opinion, Don Sol is the best Mexican restaurant in Marion. It’s much cleaner and the service is better than the other Mexican restaurants around here. The food is pretty consistent and I haven’t ever been disappointed with anything I’ve ordered from here. The chips are crispy and delicious. The salsa has great flavor… not too spicy but not too mild… it’s just perfect. The food is freshly made and you get great sized portions for the amount you spend. Most of the employees speak English really well and the servers are very friendly.
I highly recommend this restaurant if you are in the Marion area! By the way, they also normally have awesome drink specials going on during the week!

Favorite Mexican restaurant in Marion by far! Wonderful salsa! I like the seafood tacos, chimichanga, and the nachos fajitas!

Food was very good coming from a a few Texans who live on Tex-​Mex back home. Chips were good, a bit thicker than normal. Salsa was pretty good flavor. Nice portion size for price point. Service was friendly and stayed on top of drink refills. I had pick your own: tamale, beef enchilada, hard shell taco, rice/​beans. Not really any complaints. Use to a bit more flavor back home in Texas. Craving some Mexican food come here. We were at hotel just behind it. Highly recommended.

I’ve been back in Marion for six days and have already visited Don Sol two more times. It was great both times!

I suspected I’d found a good place when it was still packed at 7:00 on a wednesday evening. I was right. beginning chips hot and fresh, friendly ser vace and delicious meal! Will be back!

Not the best. Chile rellano was weird — egg coating was non-​eatable. Guacamole had no flavor. Tostada was good so was the watermelon margarita.
Service was bad. Very little English — but I guess that’s expected, but service was still poor.
Won’t be back

I fancy myself an aficionado of Mexican Cuisine because I eat it so often, have had some really good, some really mediocre and some pretty bad (no quiero Taco Bell). Don Sol is a favorite of mine & my family. When I go to Southern Illinois to visit my parents we like to hit this place up for some chips & salsa, a little queso (cheese) dip and whatever else tickles our fancy on the menu. Pretty much everything I have eaten here is pretty fabulous and if you speak a little Espanol with the waiters they will give you an extra smile. The service has always been above average. If you are looking for some Gringo (American) favorites or something off the beaten path you will find it here at Don Sol. Get past the fact that its set back in a little strip mall sort of situation. Its a great restaurant for Mexican food in Southern Illinois. Muy Delicioso!

Food was great and the service was fast. Try the golden margarita. The things I tried on the menu were great. Thanks guys!

Camarones Don Sol baby! The service is very very good here. Be sure to look over the entire menu because there’s lots of ill gems of choices all over it. This place is very vegetarian or diet friendly if you just tell what you want because there’s lots of grilled items and varieties of good veggies available. Be adventurous and order something besides a chimichanga! David is a great server with awesome skill.

Food was excellent. Service was a bit slow, but for the price the food couldn’t have been better. The make your own combo is a great deal. 4 selections for under $ 10.

Don Sol has decent food and prices. It’s not much different than any of the other Mexican restaurants in the area. They serve great margaritas and quesadillas.

I really enjoyed the food at Don Sol. From the outside it looks like a small place nestled alongside several stores. Going inside it’s much bigger, with a mom and pop feel. The food is tasty and fresh, the prices are fair. When in Marion and I want some good Mexican food, it’s Don Sol.
