   A real gem. We went on a Wednesday, and the season is over, so it was quiet. The weather was perfect to sit outside. I love everything about the restaurant. The staff was gracious and attentive but not overly so. The food was delicious. Wednesday is half off all bottles of wine. So we were able to get a delicious red for an excellent price!

   The service was extraordinary.. the paella was average. And it’s way too expensive for the place and neighborhood it’s in…

   Delicious tapas served in a unique setting (1854 Adobe house). Extensive menu with generous portions. Felt rushed and the waiter became arrogant while deciding on multiple tapas choices. Restaurant was empty on a Tuesday night. Enjoyed old stone fireplace room softly lit by several hanging lights.

   Everything we tried was very good & well prepared. The chicken in the Paella Tierra Y Mar was a little dry but the shrimp was excellent. As for the Tapas we tried: chicken empanadas, patatas bravas & the elote. All the tapas were delicious. For our drinks my husband had a Paloma & I had a Red Sangria. I would definitely recommend this restaurant. Looking forward to dining here again soon.

    Beautiful evening…the food, service and ambiance were outstanding! Highly recommend Sol Y Sombra for anyone who’s searching for exceptional Spanish cuisine!! Especially, because Spanish food is VERY hard to find in the desert.
