Sol de Oro Sports Bar & Grill

My family and I have been coming to Lake Placid for nearly 30 years. We’ve seen dozens of restaurants open and close throughout our years here. There is definitely a lack of diversity when it comes to food in this town, so we decided to try Sol de Oro as we get a bit tired of American and Italian food. We were surprised at how empty the restaurant was on a Friday night, considering the restaurants on the busy part of Main Street have 45-60 minute waits MINIMUM on weekends. There was only one other group in the restaurant which isn’t always a great sign. Our waiter (cannot recall his name unfortunately) and his family are working tirelessly to provide a great experience for their customers. He took the time to educate us on the variety of Peruvian dishes they have to offer and even was very knowledgeable about gluten free dishes as a few of us are celiac. He explained his mom is the chef and puts a lot of love into the dishes, which we learned was absolutely true. Everyone in our group that ordered authentic Peruvian dishes absolutely loved it. Two people in the group ordered American dishes which they weren’t THRILLED with, but we told them it’s because they ordered wrong at a Peruvian restaurant! It’s easily become one of my new favorite meals in the town, and I wish I could bring in more clientele for them, as they absolutely deserve the attention/business. I look forward to our next visit there, and will encourage anyone I can to give it a try! I ordered the Bistek a lo pobre and two people ordered the arroz chaufa and both dishes were 10/0!!!

Wonderful experience at Sol de oro! Food was delicious. Highly recommend the chicken flautas, paella with the house sauce, and pizza was great too. Staff was attentive and knowledgeable about gluten free options. Drinks were great and we had no difficulty getting a table for a group of 7. We would definitely go back again!
