 Vegetarian "E" ( Spinach and Cheese Burritos covered in cheese with salad)

Hands down the best Mexican Restaurant in town!!!! Maybe the best restaurant period!!!  The food is so fresh and prepared so well. The staff is out of this world so quick and very competent. They go out of their way to serve you. The kitchen staff may be the best in the world... I have been to Mexico and California.... I know good Mexican cuisine and you cant beat El Sol.... A great Vegetarian menu as well as old favorites.... I've been trying to talk the manager into making that delicious Mexican corn.... as well as serving black bean burritos and Horchata ... That would be great but seriously.... Great Food!!!! Great prices....!!!!!   I highly recommend the "Michelata" a spicy alcoholic beverage.. I am sure I spelled it wrong but it is so good!! Very family oriented.... serving alcohol but definitely not a bar!

I give El Sol Mexican Restaurant       6 stars - ****** (out of five)

Everything is prepared fresh ,contains no MSG, and is cooked in 100% Vegetable oil.  Located actually in Ooltewah in front of the Bi-Lo.... the Rose has a few tables a great staff (family) and a wondefully fast takeout service...

"NEW" Post Vegetarian Restaurant Choices

I thought it would be nice if I could write and post about my (Angela's) vegetarian finds and the choices there are in the Chattanooga area and throughout my travels. Firstly let me state that I am a non-religious vegetarian not a vegan, but where possible and when I remember I will post whether or not a place has vegan choices or is vegan friendly. Lastly, My vegetarianism comes from a desire (and an oath) of mine to do no harm. Since I made that oath I have killed countless fish, a snake, and a poor little duck....I am sorry for that...but sometimes it is difficult not to make waves in the pond...so to speak...I feel it is the effort made that truly counts...

Thai Tofu Rice Bowl

BBQ Sandwich with beans and salad

Daily Special Sausage and peppers with beans

a truly Vegetarian delight... and I am pretty sure that they are in fact Vegan.... so many choices.... an absolutely delicious and diverse menu.... from Appetizers to BBQ....Nachos to Daily Specials.... With out the worry of how it was made or if any animal products were used....

I give Sluggo's North  5 -  stars *****


Don't forget to tip and ask about Peanut/ Nut Usage.... also Gluten if that's your thing...

Undeniable Facts

1. G W Bush went into Office as President with a balanced budget, an economic surplus, a mostly healthy economy and relative peace.
2. G W Bush increased spending on defense and so called homeland security, gave away the surplus, caused a trillion dollar deficit, ruined the economy and completely destroyed the United States reputation abroad.
3.  President Obama inherited that mess..   a Republican mess....
4. President Obama spared the auto industry and now they are coming back, save some jobs and created a few others, has at least attemped to help people with healthcare, and has done some good to restore faith in Americans.
5. and yet.... the Republicans would sell us that they have the answers and they care about people struggling  to make ends meet... a millionaire can't possibly understand choosing whether to pay the  electric bill or groceries... My memory maybe be not so good but I remember the Bush years.... and while we aren't where we should be... we are at least moving that direction....I like moving forward ....not recoiling back into the dark ages
