4 adults ate dinner on Feb. 16th 2013 and it was the worst food we have ever eaten. How can a beef taco taste bad, no seasoning, the red sauce on all of our plates was dark red and burnt, the Stuffed Green chili was a soggy mess. This was not mexican food, it wasn't tex mex food, it was... More

I can understand the diversity of reviews. As someone said 'you either love it or hate it'. We live 100 miles from Buena Vista and pass through as we travel to Denver. For 16 years my wife and I have timed our trips around meals at Casa Del Sol. The restaurant is small and quaint. We have always been treated... More

I always use trip advisor to send me in the right direction when traveling. I guess I should have thought twice about this place. There were 8 of us so we were seated in a separate dining area. There was a large table - approximately 8-10 people eating when we walked in the door. Note - already eating. Drinks and... More

Because of the great weather we were able to have our dinner on the tree shaded patio with its delightful fountain. The guacomole was to die for. Outstanding salsa. Everything we ate was excellent and freshly prepared. The inside of the restaurant is cozy and inviting. A must go to in BV.

Their sign says they've been in business for 35+ yrs, but their food does not reflect that. We waited 30min, thinking it's so busy it must be good, NOT!!!!!!! I've never been to a mexican restaurant that gave you soup and salad. I choose the meatball soup which was beef broth with 1 microwaved frozen meatball. The chips were a... More

We stopped on our way home to Denver, there were at total of 7, this included two children and one toddler. The resturant was dark and the menu hard to read. The service was not great, asked for no beans and rice instead , and just got beans. Owner did nothing to help the general staff make the experience better.... More

My family and I have been eating at Casa del Sol for 20 + years. We have been reading reviews that aren't so nice. When we first came here, we were not use to good ole southwest Mexican food. We were use to Tex Mex. Red sauce and green chile sauce just seemed so unnatural. We were use to chilli... More

The staff was helpful in describing meals and spiciness. We don't have many Mexican Restaurants where we are from, so we needed some guidance and they were happy to supply it. The food was delicious and nicely arranged. You couldn't ask for anything more.

The carne asada was great, as was the guacamole! The staff was fantastic and worked hard to meet the needs of our 20 person party. The patio was lovely, highly recommend!

I have been dining at this place for over 20 years, whenever I am up there fishing. The chicken enchiladas are sublime and the steak dishes are great too. This food is very flavorful but not very spicy or hot. If you like very hot mexican or way huge portions you will be disapointed. It is somewhat refined cuisine and... More
