Homemade Food Made with Family Love

EL SOL RESTAURANT was established in 1982; a partnership between Reynaldo Sr. and Beatrice Orozco and three of their children Reynaldo Jr., Yolanda and Armando.

Today, EL SOL is owned and managed by Armando & Josephine Orozco. They strive for perfection and uphold an establishment that welcomes guests as if it were their home.  Long time patrons reminisce about tours of their kitchen and share their dreams of owning a restaurant.  Of course, the Rodeo Residents welcomed them with open arms and the rest is history. Over the years, EL SOL has kept up the family tradition and maintains the family recipes.  They use the finest Mexican products to create a unique taste and use the freshest vegetables every day to provide a savoring, mouthwatering menu.
