Taqueria El Sol

Of the two Mexican style restaurants in Marshfield that I have tried, this one came as a pleasant surprise. I noticed when we came in that there were several tables of folks of Latino origin. This speaks volumes for authenticity. Clean, quiet, no blaring Mexican music (which is a big annoying downfall for the other one). We could actually comfortably talk to each other in normal tones. The menu was also surprising, lots to chose from. The waiter was prompt, courteous, and knew his menu as we had several questions, all answered to our satisfaction. The food was excellent, and plentiful. Not overly or underly spiced. The free salsa was admittedly bland and not the best, but passable. The steak entrée I had was tasty, tender, juicy and served hot. And a real steak not just skinny tough strips of questionable provenance. The sides were good. It was reasonable pricing on a par or maybe a little less than the competition. Would make a nice family stop. All in all this is the Mexican place I will be going back to in Marshfield.

Stopped in again yesterday and it was just as good as before. Seriously people of Marshfield and surrounding environs, if you haven’t been to Taqueria El sol yet you are MISSING OUT!!! We arrived right at opening (11am) and were the first patrons in the door, but I was really pleased to see quite a few tables full by the time we left. This is an EXCELLENT choice for authentic Mexican!

Excellent authentic Mexican food in small town Wisconsin! We had a selection of tacos (al pastor, bistec, lengua, intestine) that were extremely good. Service was prompt and kind as well. Highly recommend!

Completely disappointing. Everything started well. I love chorizo and they offer it in just about everything. But when the food came, it wasn’t exactly as described/​pictured. My taco salad came with a giant gob of beans in the bottom, which weren’t listed on the menu as an ingredient or I would have asked for it without. My partner’s huarache looked like fry bread on the menu, but arrived on a masa-​like crust. Again, no mention of masa on the menu. Worse, the «dinners» were stingy in portion, especially compared with other Mexican establishments past and present in Marshfield. So my taco salad was even less satisfying after I ditched the portion spoiled by beans. If it weren’t for receiving a second bowl of chips and salsa, we would have left hungry.

Very good Mexican fare. Very authentic, not too heavy, good ingredients. And the cheese sauce is ridiculously good.

Was not impressed. Started with a margarita that had great presentation but that’s where it ended. The waitress was equal parts attentive as immature. A lot of ‘no problems’, which just ticks me off. I ordered the steak fajitas. The food came out fast and hot. What it lacked was imagination. Everything was either very bland or very salty. Even the pre-​meal chips and salsa were lackluster. The guacamole was very good.
At any rate I’m 25 bucks lighter. And my belly is full.

It’s hard to compete with the other well established Mexican restaurant in town, but I was pleasantly surprised with my meal here. I had the chicken fajitas which were done just right and came with 5 flour tortillas. The salsa was great with fresh cilantro and the guacamole is homemade and chunky. Awesome! I would definitely stop back in here.

I have to mention that my family is a returning customer from Taqueria El Sol. We have eaten there a bunch of times and we will continue doing it.
We love a lot of things from this restaurant, it is really clean, nice decoration, music and family enviroment, the owner is always there to take care of details, you receive complimentary chips and salsa. Their prices are reasonable.
Talking about the food is made from scratch and they have the taste of traditional Mexican food. They offered dishes to please those who like Mexican food on the Tex Mex side or those who want to try authentic Mexican food as well.
Fajitas and burritos are excellent, and if you want to try a Mexican dessert you should try the Flan.
On the traditional side they have the best Menudo that I have eaten.
Talking about Tacos you can buy it by the piece or try the Taco Dinner. They have a huge variety of meats to choose from, I have eaten all of them from beef to tongue Tacos and I like all of them.
Attached to the Restaurant you can find their Mexican store, there you can buy ingredients for Mexican dishes that you won’t find in a supermarket.
The store has a section of Indian ingredients as well.

The ambiance is nice, sunny, bright and relaxed. The tables are very clean. Chips and salsa (free) came right out and were fresh and tasty.
Menu is diverse and they even serve posole (on week ends). Lots of Mexican and domestic beers in bottles from whence to choose, as well as Mexican soft drinks.
My mixed fajitas were tasty and well cooked, and the price was reasonable. Choice of corn or flour tortillas. The side dishes were fresh, especially the guacamole.
Overall a very pleasant, delicious, authentic and affordable Mexican dining experience.

Better than el mezcal in terms of flavor. Prices are good. I like going here to get my fix when I’m craving Mexican food.

Way too expensive… main dish is good but sides are Walmart special… waitress was nice. owner was nice. Main Problem: Bathrooms open up into eating area… Yuck! Everyone knows Mexican food goes right through you… yeah take a big stinky and show everyone when you exit the bano…
They need to add kids portions too.
Please lower the price for quantity of food so we can come back…

We have been going to this restaurant since it opened.
This is real Mexican food. It is not TexMex. The food is cooked from scratch and not prepackaged food that is microwaved. The place is clean, the staff is very friendly. Like any new place the first week or so things did not run as smoothly as they do now.
The tacos are the best I have eaten and I have eaten in Mexican restaurants from here to Tucson. The tamales which are only available on the weekend are also the best. They have lots of tasty filling with not an excess of corn meal. Chili Rellanos are difficult to do well but theirs are first class. We have not had a burrito but the enchiladas are also good.
The place has become very popular and parking can be a problem.
This restaurant is a very welcome addition to what is a somewhat bleak restaurant scene in Marshfield.

Me and my guest came in after 6:00pm on May 18, 2014. When we arrived at the restaurant, we noticed the parking area is very small and some cars were parked along the street. We came inside the restaurant and noticed they do take credit cards for payment, and how quiet everything was. We went to the counter and waited for to be seated. We noticed the color inside was tan, green, and dark burgundy. The tables are very nice structure and design with wooden chairs. There is lots of windows in front, but 1 window in the back along the side with no window in the 3^rd room. Ceiing lighting was in control where window did not provide the light. We were given a waitress right away and she sat us in the front.
We looked at our menu and it was written in both Spanish and English. We had to call our waittress to come to our table to give our order. She understood little English. I used both languages to accommodate her understanding. We ordered the Buritto Dinner served with refried beans and spanish rice for $ 8.99. We were given tortilas with salsa. I was also served my soda Pinapple soda and my guest had Budwieser after pointing it out to the waitrress of the beer.
While we waited, we observed how clean the restaurant looks, and then noticed no music to set the scene, no tv to watch, it was all quiet and we waited over 15 to 20 minutes for our dinner, which took way too long due to there weren’t that many people in the restaurant. During our wait, we were greeted by the owner and he was very nice and checking to see how we like the new restaurant.
When we received our plates, they were neatly organized with the burritos split in half, the rice was on one side and the refried beans was on the other side. Beautifully set, and everything looked cooked. When I started tasting it, the refried beans and the rice were warm not hot. Then when I tried the burrito, it was hot but, very bland and I told the waitrress everything on it, I seen very little tomatoes, mostly lettuce and beef, and slight sour cream. When my guest had his dinner, he noticed no fork in his silverware and I had no spoon. Hmm, we had them corrected. His burritos was a lot of diced tomatoes, beef, lettuce, and very little sour cream. I could not taste much of the flavor inside the burrito due to very little items. Here is how a burrito should look: Sour cream for base, refried beans, choice of meat, lettuce, tomato wedges not diced, and cheese. This restaurant did not equal to that.
Whlle we ate, the waitress was very slow and did not come to us and asked how is our food. We had to ask the owner to give my guest a hot sauce. I had to go to the register to get my bill where they did not come to us to give us the bill. This restaurant needs a lot of work with customer service when it comes to the tables, and they need to work more on their food to put in more flavor and less bland. The trick in mexican cuisine is top service with the customers, flavor is a must to every dish and seeing their logo on their card: The Flavor of Mexican Foods, it has to be top notch and it did not meet there. I give them 2 stars and when I do come back again, I hope to see improvements.
