El Senor Sol Real Mexican Food

Like another poster here, I love the food but have had problems with coupons and gift cards. Again, the food is awesome and the servers are so friendly! ...except when you want to use a coupon or a gift card. They kind of made me feel, on more than one occasion, that I was trying to pull one over on them or something! I had a $50 gift card that I held off on using many times for over a year because their card reader wasn't working. When I finally had to insist (I was afraid it would lose its value.) they asked me to buy a dessert that I didn't want to bring my total bill from $20 up to $25 so that, to avoid problems with the gift card, they could take the card and give me change in the form of a $25 gift certificate. I obliged but I ended up throwing the dessert out because I never really wanted it. Then, when I came back with the $25 gift certificate later, they acted like they had never seen such a thing and made many phone calls trying to verify its authenticity. They made me feel like I was trying to get away with something. That meal was $12 and I never used the remaining $13. $17 total down the drain... :( more

El Senor Sol in Lafayette has very authentic mexican flavor and the service staff are very friendly. The margaritas are very flavorfull, and the atmosphere it makes you feel like you are really in Mexico. I highly recommend it, the experince is awsome. Pros: good food,great service more

The only reason I'm withholding that final star is that their green chile, while flavorful and of a good texture, is disappointingly mild, and unless I'm mistaken, they don't offer a spicier version. And I don't like painfully hot foods, just something with a good kick. Also, the food comes out very, very fast (maybe too fast if you're looking for some conversation time before your meal). Pros: Service, food ambiance Cons: Green chile not spicy enough more

Loved the food and drinks. The reason I did not give it all 5 stars is cause they are very hesitant in honoring their coupons. I got quite a stare when I asked them to apply my coupon after the bill arrived. more
