El Sol Y La Luna - Over Priced, Over Hyped


El Sol Y La Luna - Austin, TX
600 E 6th Street (at Red River St.)


I went for lunch last week 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. What kind of Mexician restaurant makes you pay for chips and salsa? The queso ($6) 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. Also, we got to witness the owner/manager completely violate the personal space of our server to ask if someone had left a cell phone there earlier in the day.


Pros: Decor, probably a good place for an over priced margarita (if you're into that kind of thing)
Cons: Food, price, parking, freezing


Bottom line: Save your money and go some place better like El Arroyo or Hula Hut.
