Ok, so the location on the marina makes for an engaging view - it does not justify 55 minutes from order to food delivery. That was just too much especially during Monday lunch when there were only 2 other occupied tables. Inexcusable. Be prepared for a dripping in oil chips with salsa and a bean dip - very tasty, but... My chicken "sandwich" (see photo) was delicious! Will I go back? With so many great options, someone will have to take me there.

First Time here—nice place with lots of seating options. Great Service, very welcoming. Tried several HH offerings. The Shrimp Cucarachas was very good although quite messy and Hot to handle (served in a Hot Skillet). Guacamole was tasty. Salsas were good, as was the Black Bean Dip they serve with the large chips. I didn’t care for the Shrimp Taquitos—very odd (they blend the filling, not sure if they use actual shrimp) and the sauce tasted and smelled like Mayo. I’d rec trying this restaurant at least once. I’ll be back for a group event in a couple weeks and try some other items.

Service is excellent, though the food is just ok. Appetizers are good, big and generous chips and salsa. Guacamole and corn are great. But the entrees could be better, chicken too dry and cold dishes. The drinks could be pricey but excellent. We had a big group with outdoor tables on deck, but the service is top notch.

Stopped in for Taco Tuesday. Service was excellent. The frozen margarita was very good. I ordered the black bean and sweet potato tacos; good but super spicy. The chips and salsa were excellent. Disappointed that the live music was a DJ.

Sol Mexican Cocina offers a vibrant atmosphere and delicious. The tacos were flavorful, and the guacamole was fresh and creamy. Great service and beachfront vibes make it a must visit.

This place was definitely fine dining without the dress code like someone had mentioned on another review. There's a nice view of the port that you can watch the boats and kayakers go by. We love the decor of the restaurant--it looked very sophisticated. We ate here on a weekend and the place was packed. We saw different groups of people celebrating different occasions-- including us. The downside was that it was so packed that it was really tight around the chairs that you could barely move around and the music was loud. We had to raise our voices just to talk to the person sitting next to you. When reserving a table, make sure you ask how high the tables and the chairs are. It's just something to consider if you are taking kids with you or have disabilities. The high chairs are like the barstool height. I don't know if they just waxed their floors, but the chairs moved like they had wheels and we were a little nervous about slipping and falling while trying to get onto the high chair. As for the service, the lady attending to us was wonderful. She was very helpful and attentive. The other staff members were very friendly as well. It was nice that you can watch the staff cook and prepare your meal. The food was good. They were on the higher end as far as the price goes, but you can say you're also paying for the scenery. They have a brunch menu that is served until 3:00pm. I really liked their mechaca (beef) burrito. I wished they offered more dishes that had the mechaca because they only had 1 and it was a breakfast burrito. Overall, it was a nice place to eat.

Came here after work and had dinner by myself. The place was pretty packed with families, date nights, work friends, and birthday celebrations. I had a friendly waitress Sarah who gave me recommendations. I ordered the watermelon margarita, naked guacamole, Grilled Agave-Chile Shrimp taco, and the short ribs and blue corn taco. Everything was good. I especially loved the margarita and shrimp taco. Whenever I’m in the area I will definitely be back.

We came here on a date night based on a friend’s recommendation and the reviews seem like it would have been a good place. But, we were definitely not impressed. We came on a Saturday night at 730pm and maybe they were too busy and understaffed…. What didn’t make a good impression was when we were seated, the booth was sprinkled with crumbs and it was really dirty, so we had to ask them to clean it. It took 10 mins for water to come out. We waited an hour for our food and it was lukewarm at best upon arrival. Our server was super sweet and we really liked her. The restaurant is pretty, but we couldn’t really see the view. They had on top 40 songs and no Spanish music or anything like that. After having gone to some amazing restaurants last weekend like Teleferic, this paled in comparison. I’d probably rather go to Javier’s instead of here. If you’re looking for authentic Mexican food and vibes, this is not it.

The location is great but the food is not good. I would’ve enjoyed Taco Bell better. I vowed to never go again. I asked our server if they had a cheese sauce/queso fundido for the chips & he looked at me like I asked for something weird. Our server was weirdly rude & they serve you room temperature water. Gross!!

As I write this review, I’m shocked with the cliental this restaurant hosts too. I am here for a family vacation to celebrate a birthday for the weekend. We came 5 minutes late but got seated right away. At 6:50 pm There was a private event going on as I write this so please understand both sides. The service quality here is something I never want to return, we waited 15 minutes for our waiter to come then my table we all chatted for a bit and then came to ordering, around 7:20 pm ish we ordered and chips came late and our orders came at 8:02 pm. They kept saying we’re sorry for the event. If you knew an event was happening more staff should consider to be there to help. I understand both parties are very busy but many other people are feeling neglected in service. The food came cold and forgot my side bowl of rice. I enjoyed what I could but will not be returning due to service and food. Thank you for reading my review

The absolute worst experience in years. If I could give a minus I would. Took 1 hr 30 for food. It arrived cold. Multiple people at the table had cold food. 1 person got brown guacamole. From the start this was a hot mess. We got told we absolutely had to be on time or our table would be taken away. We arrived and the table wasn't ready for 15 minutes. Then we got given guacamole but no chips. We got told theyre busy and didnt know they would be. This is on a Saturday night in a tourist town in the holidays. They should be able to look at historical sales and plan better. Also, they required reservations so they knew damn well in advance how many people would be dining at any one time and the fact that they kept making excuses isnt on. This isn't the servers fault. This is abject management that doesnt know what day of the week it is. It took 1 hr for chips to arrive. The service was so bad that when you got a drink you ordered the next one knowing it would take so long. My food was freezing cold and plated poorly. My table mate asked for a chicken dish and got given beef. I asked for a club soda and got told to order expensive sparkling water. My food came back with no silverware and had to ask for silverware. Honestly this place is a disgrace to Mexican food and hospitality. They should be embarrassed

The only good thing about this experience was the view. Looking at the photos of the restaurant and the food we had very high hopes, but those were dashed in ten minutes again and again. Ten minutes we sat & waited for water & chips & salsa. Then waited for a cocktail menu. After finally getting served my wife’s drink-blackberry ginger marg-was tasty & strong. The Sol guacamole comes with the ingredients on a plate & you stir it yourself, but we liked it. Wife’s chopped salad was $16, small & didn’t fill the plate. Carnitas were overcooked and tough. We decided to roll the dice & ordered the tequila flight and it was again TEN minutes before the waiter returned and said, “we discontinued that-we’re not doing flights. They haven’t updated the menus.” Take a look at the photo-it’s $23 for three 1 oz pours in a flight, or $17!! for a single pour of basic blanco tequila. What a scam! A lot of restaurants change menus up daily, to not “update” is no excuse. When the manager walked by and asked how things were, he didn’t wait, he hustled kept walking…wow. All in all we had a very bad experience here and don’t think we would return.
