Nuestra historia

A family recipe, fired up when the heat breaks.

The Ortega family started Sol de Tarde as a weekend stand on the edge of the date groves, cooking for farmworkers coming off the evening shift. The recipes came with Abuela Rosa from Jalisco: a slow achiote marinade, salsas ground in the molcajete, and nothing rushed.

Today we are a small, family-run taquería in Coachella, cooking for neighbors from Indio, Thermal, Mecca, La Quinta and up the Valley to Palm Springs. Same trompo, same salsas, a few more tables.
