Kinda sad we’ve lived in Torrington for 5 years and only just now tried Cafe Sol.
Decided to place a take out order on a Friday night. We got the family meal for around $40 we got fried pork, rice (arroz con gondules) tostones, and salad. We also added the white rice and beans, and a cubano with onion rings.
The portion was perfect we are a family of 5 but 2 of our kids are under 10 so they don’t eat a ton. Next time we would probably go with the roast pork. Both rices were phenomenal, but the beans…. My god the most flavorful and best beans I’ve ever had. Could literally eat them like soup and be content.
The cubano was also really good and the onion rings were fire. But I’m a cubano snob growing up in Tampa,FL so my bar is high.
Also tried the crumb cake which was fresh and delicious. The salad “dressing” was like straight up vinegar which I’m not sure if that’s a cultural thing but not what I’m used to.
The atmosphere was very friendly and busy with mostly older males at the bar drinking and lots of take out orders. Will definitely be back, love supporting local and family owned businesses.

Wish I took a picture when it came out. Smelled so good I didnt think of it till my plate was almost done. The smoothies were fantastic. Rice perfect texture. Presentation was nice. The waiters are super nice. I’m an hour away. I can see myself taking the drive can coming back. If your in the area, i recommend if your into spanish food. We had pastelitos chicken, beef, and cheese. Tostones. White rice, with side of beans. Yellow rice with beans. Pork shoulder. Breaded chicken. A strawberry, and a pineapple smoothie. Check this cute spot out.

The food was absolutely delicious the service could have been a bit better in terms of friendliness and attentiveness. No issue on my end with the time it took to get my food as it was being cooked in the back so it came out hot & good. They have somewhat of a bar and although I didn’t have anything besides water/soda to drink the drinks I saw being made looked very tasty and refreshing. I will definitely be circling back to try some other items. I had the beef turnover, steak rice bowl, oxtails (to go), and my friend had the pork chop of course rice and beans. The portion sizes were filling couldn’t eat it all in one sitting. If you’re thinking of trying I recommend you do. Enjoy…

Food & service have been nothing short of TOP TIER at Sol Café. In my humble opinion, one of the most underrated and deliciously curated Latino restaurants in all of Connecticut! I mean that whole heartedly and this place has continued to exceed my expectations. I’ve been a customer for almost 2 years, and I can’t be any more satisfied with my experiences throughout my time here! Cheers to many years to come!

Four small pieces of chicken for a $17 plate is crazy.
I bought the chicken chunks for the chicken not the plantains.. the plate is called chicken chunks not “plantain chunks”

Wonderful place. Our waitress was incredibly helpful, letting us make changes to dishes or drink specials. All drink mixes made by hand, no premade sugary mixers. Lots of choices, both traditional dishes and more American options. Off the beat and paths, overall a nice place with good music and great food. They also have food to go.
