    We had reservations for 6 and we were not seated until 6:20(although there were several open tables). t I took 15 minutes for our drinks to come. We ordered table-side guacamole which was delicious but did not have chips to go with it and had to wait 10 minutes for the chips to enjoy . We were there for my son’s 25th and my daughter’s 20th. VERY disappointing service . The food was AMAZING though.

    We’ve eaten here several times before and always enjoy. Our food was very good, as was the service. The refried beans along side my breakfast burrito was a bit much since they put them in the burrito as well. A slice of fruit just to take up the space on the plate would make more sense. Just a suggestion. We will be back!

    As Sol is always one of our local favs go to places for Mexican here close by our area. Coveniently located by the water great tasting brunch dishes like chilies verde with corn bread you can never go wrong. Or the Kobe steak and eggs flavorful! Not bad at all and reasonably priced too! JC our server was lively attentive to what we needed and a nice singing voice too (singing happy birthday at a very high pitch) ! A lovely brunch outing even with little ones with their kids menu.

    We came early, before 5pm…. Our server had two other very large parties, so we waited quite a long time to order, and for food/dessert. Not super happy bc the restaurant wasn’t even that busy and managers/other servers seemed to be hanging around.

    Started our evening with drinks in the bar, since we arrived early. Shortly ordering our drinks, our table was ready. Started off with the Guacamole Granada and chips/salsa, while waiting for our dinner of Taquitos and a wet Carnitas burrito. All were great, and brought at just the right time to allow for the appetizers to be finished. Have been to Sol before, and will return.
