Quinto Sol - Menu

This place has it all, everything was fantastic! I will definitely be back.

Food was mediocre, service was slow, and the restaurant was too warm. I wouldn't go again.

Our experience here was so awesome, the food was excellent and the service was amazing. Will definitely come back. Got to talk to one of the owners and she was so polite and gave us the history. 10 years in business, congratulations. View menu

The perfect place for a bite prior to a show at the Fox Theater or the Club Fox. It doesn 't feel as cramped or noisy as the other Sol restaurants, and the service and food has always been impeccable for us. The Lomo de Cerdo is unique among restaurants and a wonderful mix of flavors. Even the beans are better than most, flavorful without being salty. Their mole is wonderful; the enjococado could use some more bite, but that 's my personal preference.

I have been here twice. Once when the summer concert was happening right opposite and you got to hear the lovely music it was the 70s songs) Sit outside if the weather permits. The portions are huge and the second time I directly had the main course. Friendly staff and prompt service. I had the Pedroni the second time around and it was absolutely delicious. The margarita glasses are huge. So if you are not driving this is the place to go drinking in Redwood City.

Mole was not too flavorful. It reminded me of the canned doña Maria. Tortillas were likely a popular standard store brand. The Serrano chicken dish was creamy and flavorful. The refried beans were okay. The rice seemed a bit overcooked. Service was hit or miss. Our server was personable and tried his best. Servers were extremely busy on a Friday night. Our drinks were brought much after dishes we sent out. (I saw the waiter at the bar maybe he had to make the drinks? Chips and dips were brought even later. I had to remind the waiter about the tortillas. The water was not refilled. The entire meal felt rushed. View menu

After several visits to Quinto Sol, the overall consensus is the food is not that great with a few exceptions. Most items I've tried are pretty bland and lack flavoring. Most often a little added salt goes a long way but for the prices that you pay, you expect better flavor. Portions sizes are average. Now for the good stuff. The sopa azteca is very good and hearty, but the real stand out is the fish ceviche. It is consistently good, and while it lacks a little spice (for most of my friends) it's perfect for someone like me who likes a little kick without being overwhelming. The service is pretty good most days, but can be a little lacking when the place is very busy (like during summer down...

We visited Quinto Sol for dinner on a Wednesday, having made a reservation for our party of 8. The interior was very spacious and decorated with star shaped light fixtures, a large Mexican flag, and a tree wrapped in sting lights. The ambiance was casual but festive. For drinks, I got a Lemonade, which was pretty standard, but they had an entire Margarita Menu. My friends said the Margaritas were excellent, especially the X Rated. We got two orders of Guacamole Fresco for the table, which was so good. It came with a large basket of tortilla chips, and had the perfect consistency. For my entree, I got the Chicken Enchiladas Al Sol. Unfortunately, this just wasn't very good. The enchiladas had...

This is one of our favorite Mexican Restaurants every time we get together in San Mateo. It's in Redwood city. The only thing negative about this place is to find a parking space. Most of the street parkings are closed off due to being worked on. I had to park 2 long blocks away and walk in the cold and light rain LOL. Anyhow, the restaurant is nice, high ceiling and quite big. The hosts are quite pleasant and helpful. We had to wait for all members of our party showed up to be seated even with reservation. The place is quite noisy from birthday parties to just plain get together like ourselves. The appetizers are quite tasty, we liked the nachos, guacamole, very rich and filling. The chips... View menu
