No matter how far we are from Mexico, we carry it with us. In the stories our families tell, the recipes passed from one generation to the next, and the joy of gathering around a table. 🇲🇽❤️ On September 16, 1810, a call for freedom rang out in Dolores. Today, we remember that beginning and celebrate all the beautiful ways Mexico continues to bring us together, even when home is far away. May peace find its way to every family, and may unity keep us close to one another.

From our family at Sol de Mexico to yours, feliz Día de la Independencia. May there always be room at the table for one more. Viva México! ✨

For a brief season each year, Mexico’s colors find their way onto a plate. 🇲🇽

A poblano chile dressed in white walnut sauce and scattered with ruby red pomegranate seeds: chiles en nogada carry the green, white, and red of the Mexican flag. They arrive with the season of Mexico’s Independence Day, when food becomes another way to celebrate where we come from and the traditions we keep alive.

At Sol de Mexico, Chef Carlos is preparing this beloved dish for a limited time. Come sit with us, savor it slowly, and taste a little piece of Mexico’s story. ❤️

Reservations are available through our website.

One taste and you’ll understand why our mole is one of the flavors guests love and remember. 🤎Our Borrego en Mole Negro begins with a grilled baby New Zealand rack of lamb, tender and juicy inside, served over our rich, velvety Oaxacan black mole with creamy mashed potatoes. But what makes mole negro so special. This deeply complex sauce is crafted with chihuacle chiles and 28 spices, carefully blended to create layers of smoky, savory, subtly sweet, and gently spiced flavor. Mole is not simply a sauce. It is one of Oaxaca’s greatest culinary traditions, and its preparation requires patience, knowledge, and balance. That knowledge was passed down by Chef Clementina Flores, lovingly known as the “Mole Goddess” by Time Out. She taught her son in law; Chef Juan Carlos Tello the art of creating mole, and today he continues her legacy in every carefully prepared batch. Enjoy it with our handmade tortillas and experience a dish filled with generations of flavor and tradition. 🇲🇽

Join us tonight from 4–10 PM. Reservations are recommended, and walk-ins are welcome as space allows.
