On a monthly basis a group of friends gets together to try a new restaurant and new type of cuisinein the Madison, Wisconsin area. The prices range from everyday cheap such as $6-10 a plate all the way to moderately expensive at $35-50 a plate. We are from all walks of life and include a core set of reviewers who live in the Madison areas as well as some guest reviewers from outside the Madison area. This ensures we offer you real, honest and fair points of view on the restaurants we visit. We guarantee our feedback will be helpful as you decide on your next restaurant of choice.
Our first review is of Casa Del Sol which is located in Fitchburg, Wisconsin about 15 minutes from downtown Madison. This restaurant does not have a legal relation to Casa del Lara in downtown Madison, but you will find the food to be similar.
During this visit, it was still warm out. So, all 20 of us piled outside to their patio which overlooks a man made pond and Fish Hatchery road. Although the road was close, it was not too loud. We were able to enjoy great, well-poured margaritas and some chips and salsa. The chips were not salty at all. I'm not a huge fan of that as I love salt! I ordered a beef enchilada and had more then enough food. The food was good but nothing overwhelmed me other than the margaritas! The service was good. The server could tell we were there for a longer night of dining (more than an hour) and didn't make us feel rushed at all. They also were happy to run credit cards and cash for each of us which made paying very easy for a group.
Overall, I would recommend this restaurant for families as well as any size group getting together for a meal. I consider it an everyday restaurant where I would go if I was looking for decent, consistent food like at a chain restaurant.
Hope this helps...stay tuned for the next restaurant.

Overall the food was good for a Mexican resturant but not great. It is always dissapointing when the food is not the most memorable part of the night. At Casa Del Sol, the women seated on the other end of the patio were the talk of the evening. They proceeded to spray a large cloud of bug spray all over themselves, blanketing the entire eating area. The taste of bug spray did not add to the flavor of the food.
Note to the people of Madison: "Don't overspray when people are eating down wind!"
