The mint green building gives you a vibrant vibe. My wife and I have been wanting to eat here for at least 10 years! So we were doing errands around the area and decided to pop in from brunch. First impression inside is relaxing and has a cool tropical aesthetic. There are these cool doors that look directly brought over from Old San Juan. The menu is huuuuuge with lots of tasty sounding dishes. I decided on the PR Hash which is picadillo and rice covered with melted cheese then two fried eggs on top. I got a side of sweet plantain. I had coconut water to wash it all down. My wife got the tostones ,cheese, black beans, avocado and a fried on top. She loved that! She got this coconut coffee beverage as well. Service was fine. The atmosphere was not rushed but relaxed. I will come here again

Every time I pass by San Rafael I have to stop here. I usually order from their to-go side of the shop since they’re super busy and the line to get seated is soooo long. It moves quickly but I usually just grab food to go. Biztec sandwich is what I eat here every single time. I tried it recently with the tostones which is basically plantains as a bun, was good. Their hot sauce is yummy. The house made orange mango iced tea drink also great!!

First time trying this popular spot and it was delicious! Did not disappoint. Kind and courteous service by staff. The tacos were sooo packed with flavour and protein, sour cream, spicy guacamole, queso fresco, and red sauce!

If you are craving Caribbean food this is the place to go if you are in the Bay Area. The food feels very authentic and delicious. I had the chuletas with rice and beans and I felt like I was eating at home. The tostones are also great and their lemonades and juices are very refreshing. I highly recommend trying out the tradicional Puerto Rican dishes in the menu like the mofongo and chuletas! The pineapple pudding we had for dessert was also great.

Excellent Puerto Rican food. We were welcomed by Alex who spent time to explain the menu to us. She recommended, "Bistec Encebollado" with plantain and black beans, which is what I ordered. It was amazingly tasty. Alex also recommended "Pollo al Horno" my daughter ordered it and that also was very tasty. Since it was our first time at Sol Food (and we live a very long distance from San Rafael,) Alex brought us Coconut flan with mango sauce. That too was very delicious. Sol food is definitely a must stop! Enjoy authentic Puerto Rican food and experience the culture.
