Waited 20 minutes for a reservation hostess was horrible, they were rude and didn’t take care of us. Waitress was exceptional. Won’t come back during holidays

We love Sol! But it was particularly busy for a Saturday night in December. They sat us and forgot to tell our server. It took us a while to be served. Once we did our server was great! I got the carne asada fajitas and mango margarita! Delicious!

The chicken tortilla soup was great. Generous portion of chicken for the price. The large tortillas chips were so greasy. Had the short rib tacos, stale tortillas, tough dry meat with no flavor. Not at all worth price at all.

Best non-traditional Mexican food around. Fabulous service. And don’t forget to munch on the tortillas & dips before you get your food. Great value on the water!

Somewhat overpriced for the quality of the food, maybe we ordered wrong. Skinny margs are not skinny, when asked to get it without syrup and agave, was met with pushback. Willing to pay extra to receive what i ordered…. They were busy so we may try it again in the future to enjoy the view. For now, there are better options for high end Mexican nearby.
