Sol Food is locally raved about if you're looking for authentic Latin American or Puerto Rican fare.  

My friend who I was staying within Berkeley took my visit out to her as an opportunity to visit all of the restaurants that had been recommended to her and Sol Food was ranked high.  The energy in the large, open space was high, and the colors and decorations splayed across the walls only added to the positive environment.  Every table seemed palpably happy and there were massive mason jars filled with orange liquid in everyone's hands.  I soon found out it was a fresh mango drink and ordered one for myself, a great addition to all of the plantains we ordered and the Nino Pobre sandwiches.  

I paired my Sol Food expereince with visiting China Camp State Park.  It's about 5 miles away and the perfect meal to fill the bellies of hungry children who have spent the afternoon hiking, swimming, or biking.  

There is no alcohol served here.

Emily Coleman is a Jersey girl born and raised who caught the outdoor bug upon moving to Vermont to pursue a degree in Adventure Education and Environmental Studies from Green Mountain College. She spent most of her years before college deeply entrenched in the world of competitive cheerleading before discovering a passion for outdoor sports including mountain biking, white water kayaking, bikepacking, backpacking, slacklining, rock climbing, and skiing. Having been surrounded by children her entire life in her mother's daycare, she always had a strong affinity for kids. She moved to the mountains of Jackson Hole after graduating to coach for the local Kayak Club during the summers and nanny in the winters. Becoming a part of the Happy Active Family team felt like the perfect collision of her passion for building strong community bonds and encouraging an outdoor lifestyle.
