About Us

The Lemus Family - Owners of Taqueria Sol Azteca

In 1976 along with their children, Ernesto and Francisca Lemus moved to Rohnert Park. Francisca always cooked authentic Mexican meals at home. She learned to cook by watching her grandmother Manuela cook traditional meals from Jalisco, Mexico. In 1992, encouraged by her husband Ernesto, a full time cement mason, Francisca embarked in opening Taqueria Sol Azteca, an authentic Mexican restaurant with the help of their children Lissette, Ernesto, Francisco and Jose. This small taqueria grew from 6 tables to patio seating in four years. Sol Azteca in addition added 8 more tables because of the popularity of the taqueria. For over 20 years with the help of family and friends, Francisca’s tradition of Mexican flavors thrusted Taqueria Sol Azteca to become the heart and soul of Mexican food in Rohnert Park.

Today Francisca is semi-retired and the tradition still continues in the hands of her son Francisco Lemus better known to the community as “Frankie.” Frankie has managed Taqueria Sol Azteca for the past 10 years and in April 2014 Ernesto and Francisca Lemus sold the business to their son Frankie who now runs the restaurant full time.
