El Sol
Restaurante El Sol
A casual, popular downtown restaurant with generous portions and low prices, where shredded beef and seafood rice are the favorites.
Located at Maceo Street 52, between Buen Viaje and Gloria streets, a short walk from downtown. It regularly ranks near the top of Santa Clara's budget restaurant lists. Reviewers recommend Cuban shredded beef, shrimp, monkfish and seafood rice, and one portion often feeds two people. Reviews from 2025 and 2026 still praise the generous portions and fair prices. The first and second floors are plain indoor dining rooms, and the top floor has a small terrace. Some reviewers mention indifferent service and say that not every item on the menu is always available.
