Fiesta Del Sol is located in Landmark Building 1 in Kelowna. It’s a place that you don’t even really know is there unless you know it’s there because it’s not visible from the road. It’s worth looking for, though!
Things of note:
- Parking near the building’s entrance was easy to find as each Landmark Building has its own dedicated visitor parking.
- The Landmark buildings are accessible to people with a variety of needs. Fiesta Del Sol is located on the ground level so stairs or the elevator are not necessary to visit it.
- The washrooms are not located in Fiesta Del Sol itself but patrons are able to use the public wheelchair accessible washrooms in the Landmark Building.
- A customer in a wheelchair came in for lunch while we were there and he was able to easily navigate around the tables and chairs. It also made me notice that the drinks and the counter at the till are slightly lower than what is average, and I can see how that was a convenience or this person.
- The tables and chairs are large, heavy, strudy wooden furniture without arms and it can be moved as required.
- There is an outside seating area with metal chairs in the summer months but I haven’t sat out there yet (notice the “yet”–yeah, I’m definitely going back here for the tacos).
I wanted lunch so I ordered a chicken tamale and a pork taco.
The tamale was…just a tamale. I admit I’m not a giant fan of them but I wanted to try theirs. There was nothing wrong with it, it’s just that I don’t find tamales particularly flavourful, in general. On the other hand, that taco…mmmmm.
I want more of these tacos. I want all of these tacos. They were the perfect combination of textures and flavours–the crunchy onion, the almost-sweet roasted pork, the soft corn tortilla, and the vinegary sauce! Next time, I’m going to order tacos and only tacos and I’m definitely going to try their fish taco.
