    I've been to this location about 3 times this past year. Have always been sat in the small enclosed area just before the bathroom on the left. There are only 2 tables there. I have avoided saying this but will mention it now. The bench against the wall needs to be fixed. The cushion sucks and makes you feel like you are sitting at the kids' table during Thanksgiving. The purple-ish light against the back that's reads "Margaritas" madness your gel drunk when you look at it and is totally annoying, especially when the rest of the restaurant becomes a little darker. We asked to move to the other table in that "corral" due to that light in our faces. In addition, when we did move to the other table, the table top spun every time you leaned on it. We had to keep spinning it back into place to keep our food in front of us. Please, do better. Thanks.

    I had an incredible time at this spot! The drinks were phenomenal—my tequila on the rocks was perfectly balanced, and my cousin thoroughly enjoyed the rum. We started with the pineapple guacamole and street corn (with cheese on the side), both of which were bursting with flavor. Our entrées were exceptional, prepared with care and presented beautifully. To top it off, the dessert was absolutely perfect—a sweet end to an already fantastic meal. The waitress was attentive and efficient, and the service overall was exceptional. Highly recommend this place for a great dining experience!

    Sofia’s is such a little gem on SI. The food, the drinks and service are all great and we really enjoyed our dinner there. We had margaritas, sangrias and also a couple of their specialty cocktails which went as fast as they came lol. We had the guacamole, queso, flautas and birria empanadas they had as a special to start. We then had the Carne Asada, Chicken Mole Enchiladas and Shrimo Ajillo which pretty much put us in a food coma but we happily gave in to it lol. We’ll definitely return next time we are in SI.

    The crab empanadas were amazing but not necessarily worth $24. You only get two. Service was great.

    Hard to enjoy our food when there’s no air conditioning (Bay Street location), no windows open, and it’s 85 degrees outside.
