El Sol Restaurant

This is one of my favorite places in Houston for pupusas. I’m Salvadorian and these pupusas are some of the best I ever had especially when I ask for them to go. They package it not just with the wrapper but aluminum foil and I think that’s what keeps it cheesy/hot (for reference- they don’t do that everywhere and the cheese is already hard/cold when you take it home… not from here though!). The frijol y queso (bean and cheese) is my usual go-to. The chicken one is great as well. Today I went with my friend. She wanted tacos and got the stripped fajita ones with avocado and it was so delicious. I saw Tinga on the menu and really wanted some but also wanted pupusas. I asked if they could make a Tinga pupusa and they accommodated. It was so delicious!! This is one of the many perks of it being a Salvadorian-Mexican restaurant. The menu is extensive. To drink we got some horchatas and an ensalada de fruta “fruit salad” (but it’s a drink. My favorite). My friends LOVED it. Perfect and refreshing for a hot day. The food and service is always so amazing here.

I stopped in for breakfast while traveling for work. The food was so delicious, the staff was so wonderful and kind and helpful with their recommendations, I can't say enough good things about my experience. I can't recommend El Sol enough! It was so good!! It has been the best food I've had in Houston so far.
