First I want it to be known that I have been going to Casa del Sol for years and years. We have a vacation home in the area and always make a point of having dinner here at least once every trip. That being said, there were YEARS when the food was just barely OK. Since Casa sold a few... More

We have not been to Casa del Sol since 1993. Even under new ownership this place is still everything it used to be and more. We had a fantastic meal, the best Mexican food we ever had and the service was fantastic. We enjoyed meeting the owner to thank him for such a wonderful experience. Oh by the way the... More

Chips weren't crunchy, guac was bland. Entree was alright, but when the ck came, I realized I'd been charged for 2 sodas (no refills on their 4 inch tall glasses of soda filled with ice). $4 for my soda + refill. NO THX. More

After reading all of the good reviews everyone had written, I was eager to try this place. My family and I go up to the ADK's every year for our winter's break. And love Mexican Food. Sadly, I was quite disappointed in the meal. The food, while it was edible, was rather bland, and served to me as something I... More

Once again thanks Trip Advisor for allowing me the owner to respond to a review that doesn't make sense. As I am every night, I'm the hostest, and nobody comes through Casa's doors with going through me, and they don't leave without me saying thank you so much and have a great night. As I've said in my other responses... More

Outside of a tequila history book, I have never seen so many varieties of tequila. Food was authentic and amazing. Unassuming so don't blink while you are driving to find it! More

My husband and I had a great time here. It seemed crowded, but we only had to wait a few minutes for a table. There were a lot of unusual dishes to choose from and great homemade salsas. Both of our meals seemed especially fresh (no frozen or canned ingredients). The service was well paced and attentive. We'll be back. More

I've never had such expensive Mexican food. True, we got the "special" that cost $18.95 per entre and had desert, but no drinks except iced tea that cost the same amount for each refill (who does this?), and the bill plus tip came to $100. The entre was truly a disappointment. We had waited a full hour to get seated,... More

First of all thanks trip advisor for allowing ownership to defend themself. I usally don't put alot of stock into reviews posted on sites like Trip Advisor however this one and two others that I will respond to hit a nerve. This is going out to all my fellow restaurant owners who work hard like me to try and make... More
