Great place to have dinner in Redwood City before a show. Same franchise as Vive Sol in Mountain View but a much better ambience. Mole Poblano was rich and slightly spicy perfect for me with Spanish rice and beans. Grandmas chicken was sweet and offset the Mole. Our friends loved their Mole Enchiladas and Veg Mole. Margaritas were strong. Picante was sweet and spicy. Service was good. Plenty of parking nearby. Only thing I did not like was that they do not take reservations and after the seated us after 20 min wait it took about 10 min before some e came to our table.

I have been here a couple times, I’m surprised I haven’t reviewed it yet. This place is really lovely, the food is delicious, it is definitely upscale Mexican food, but the quality is worth the price. Definitely make a reservation, gets really crowded and is very popular. We loved all of our dishes (the mole is outstanding!), and the service was wonderful. Do save room for dessert, I dream about the flan!

The food was absolutely delicious and authentically Mexican. We thoroughly enjoyed our experience and it wasn’t just the food, but the atmosphere as well. Our server was polite, friendly and attentive. Highly recommended.

We really enjoyed this place. Excellent food and service. They have some really nice authentic meals from the Puebla region. It was a bit noisy but that’s partly attributable to the mariachi band so well worth it!

Been years since I’ve been here and it’s still very good! Great service, atmosphere and food! Had the sea bass and it was amazing! Bear rice and beans I’ve had in a long time! Need to come this direction more often! Bf had the chicken salad and he said it was really good and dressing is to die for!

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 are light and crispy with 3 dipping salsa dishes. My Margarita was quite good although they only offer on rocks and not blended.
Let me warn you, the dinner plates are very big, if you have the appetizer, it’s better to order a la cart instead of the whole combo plates of any kind. You’ll be taking some home for lunch the next day.
I ordered the fish taco plate, the fish wasn’t breaded fried, not crispy like some other restaurants, but with all the veggies, quite tasty and no fish smell. The rice and beans were great, but it’s big so I took the rest home for lunch.
Everyone in my family ordered different plates and they’re all huge and delicious from wet burritos, shrimps, salads, etc.
The prices are a little high, average $30 a plate, but for the restaurants atmosphere, the area, I think it’s reasonable. The important thing is the service is attentive, fast, pleasant and the foods are excellent, except the walk back to our cars on the street.
I’ve been here twice and I do like it. We’ll always come here if Mexican food is desired.

Quinto Sol is a remarkable destination for those seeking an elevated Mexican culinary experience. From the moment you step inside, the lavish décor and carefully curated ambiance captivate your senses. The interiors seamlessly blend traditional Mexican artistry with contemporary elegance, creating an inviting yet luxurious atmosphere perfect for any occasion.
The food at Quinto Sol is nothing short of extraordinary. Every dish is a testament to authenticity and flavor, crafted with meticulous attention to detail. The enchiladas were an absolute standout—perfectly balanced with tender fillings and rich, flavorful sauces that left us wanting more. Their use of cherished family recipes, particularly their grandmother’s specialties, adds a personal and heartwarming touch to the menu that is simply unparalleled.
A delightful highlight was the trio of salsas served with crispy chips. While all were flavorful, the green salsa stood out as a revelation—vibrant, fresh, and unlike anything I’ve ever tasted. It alone is worth the visit!
The restaurant’s cleanliness and upkeep are impeccable, further enhancing the dining experience. However, parking can be a bit challenging, so plan accordingly.
Overall, Quinto Sol is a must-visit for its unparalleled blend of authentic flavors, stunning ambiance, and exceptional service. A true masterpiece in Mexican dining!

This place was packed on a Thursday night! We made a reservation and were seated quickly. We ordered some great guacamole as an appetizer. Most of us got tacos as an entree. I didn’t enjoy mine very much, it was more lettuce than meat. The beans and rice were good, though. My friend got shrimp enchiladas and loved them so I may try that dish if I go back. The chocolate flan was excellent. It was very noisy in the restaurant and the people at the table next to us were yelling and speaking loudly so it wasn’t the best experience. Nice decor and the service was excellent. I’ll try it again and choose something different.
