Beso Del Sol

This is my favorite place in Seattle for nachos. Specifically, the chicken nachos. The chicken is slow-cooked with onions and spices and is really tender and flavorful. My other favorite on the menu is the pollo loco -- which features the same tasty chicken, this time wrapped in a tortilla, fried, and topped with cheese and sour cream. I'd like it even better if it came with rice AND beans, instead of rice OR beans (BDS, are you listening?). more

"Non-descript" is the word that comes to mind. Sitting here, I can't remember the meals I've eaten at Beso del Sol. Somewhere in there were rice and beans, good beef (although not particularly flavorful and a little on the tough side) and some decent pork. Nothing outstanding, nothing signature to recall. Just a meal that was good but perhaps more expensive than the enjoyment warranted. A few times, we've received some grilled meats that arrived with more char than is usual in a restaurant. (Hmm... perhaps that's why the restaurant is called "kiss of the sun".) Fortunately, I happen to like that effect so I was pleasantly surprised. Unfortunately, my dinner mate was not. And still we return. My best explanation is that they're nearby and sell fajitas and are not Chili's. That and we're too lazy to make our own fajitas. What I really enjoy there--and is probably what moves me from borderline to pro-Beso del Sol--are their tasty mango mojitos. Maybe THAT'S the kiss of the sun they're talking about... more

I think I've only eaten at Beso Del Sol once, and I remember that it was good food, but it didn't make a strong impression on me. Wthat I remember mostly is the crowds of people who come here for the dancing, and I also remember from the next time I came in that they made a pretty good margarita. more
