Quick info
About Tacos del Sol
Tacos del Sol is a family-run restaurant at 2a Cheapside in Ambleside, where the owner is also the cook and comes from Mexico. The kitchen makes homemade tortillas, and burritos are part of the Mexican menu. Spicy margaritas are on the drinks list for anyone who wants something to go with the food. The space is small and seating is limited, so the restaurant runs at a compact scale with a short walk from kitchen to table. Dogs are welcome, so owners can bring a pet along when they come to eat.

“Excellent Mexican food! We’re from Texas and the food was great. The homemade tortillas were delicious.”

“Incredible food and people. This is a family-owned place: the wife and main chef is Mexican, and the husband is British. They value quality ingredients and it really shows in the end product. The real deal, folks. Ambleside is blessed by their presence!”
- Vicky Peters

- Harry Doddrell
“I cannot stress how much I recommend everyone and anyone to come and visit Chris and his family. The food is the best I’ve found in the lakes, and I was born here. The service is so friendly and personalised. I’d choose this over any other restaurant.”
- Faye Carys
“Stumbled across this place after a long hike and had the best time! The most welcoming atmosphere with INCREDIBLE authentic food. We had spicy margs which were equally delicious. They sold out of food whilst we were there (just goes to show how popular they are!) so get there as early as you can. LOVE IT!!”
