Templo del Sol is one of those Mexican restaurants that's just plain comfortable. Located near the UC Riverside campus, you don't come to Templo del Sol for fancy tables or trendy lighting tricks.
Seating is your basic laminated tables and pull out chairs, but what you lack a hip atmosphere, is made up in great service (some reviews have noted that the service is slow, but I was there with a party of eight and the service was quick, efficient and cheerful) and even better food.
All the traditional dishes are here: enchiladas, tacos, burritos (including their deep fried burrito - or chimichunga as they're often called "back East"), and the like. Dishes come in combos or a la carte in generous portions. My dish of choice? The polle en mole, with just the right amount of chicken and accompanied by rice and beans.
Prices are low and the food is great! So next time you find yourself in the Inland Empire, stop by!
