Serving authentic Mexican cuisine · founded 2014
Opened in 2014, El Sol Restaurante & Tequileria brings authentic Mexican cuisine to Washington, DC — inspired by the heritage of chef Alfredo Solis and his sister, Jessica.
Born and raised in Mexico City, the siblings moved to DC and worked their way up through some of the city's finest kitchens — from dishwasher to executive chef. With over a decade of experience, they struck out on their own to open El Sol and share the food of their homeland.
The menu is driven by the dishes they grew up with: street-food staples like Huaraches (flatbreads stuffed with cactus, fresh cheeses and meats), Tortas and Tacos. El Sol makes almost everything in-house and sources the very best products — from daily fresh bread to weekly shipments of mole straight from the Solis' madre in Mexico.
From lunch to dinner, happy hour and weekend brunch, El Sol is a vibrant taste of Mexico and a neighborhood spot for all.
