What People Are Saying About El Sol Y La Luna
The Owner
El Sol Y La Luna
Owner
Located on Austin's Historic 6th St., the originator of "Sol Food," El Sol y La Luna is Austin's laid-back home for Interior Mexican, Border Tex-Mex and Central American cuisines - foods that writers collectively term "foods of the sun" - "alimentos del sol." It's food so good that it's good for the soul.
El Sol has been named one of "Hispanic" Magazine's Top 50 restaurants in the United States. "The New York Times" & magazines from Canada have noticed us as well. Plus, we consistently make our own "Austin Chronicle" Readers Poll, and we figure that's the most telling vote we can get, because nobody knows good south-of-the-border food like Austinites do.

Went for lunch because I had heard good things and had a gift certificate. First, it was freezing cold in the restaurant. Then you have to pay $3 for chips and salsa. The queso isn't much more than just melted velveeta with pico sprinkled on top. The food did come out pretty quick but my enchiladas were room temperature at best and my companion never received one of their sides. Bottom line: save your money and go some place better and cheaper like El Arroyo.

I've been a fan of El Sol y La Luna when they were located on South Congress. Now that they've moved downtown to 6th St. I couldn't be happier! Finally there is a good place to get mexican food and margaritas before you go out on a Friday night!
