" SOL Mexican Cocina offers an inviting ambiance, featuring chic design and a friendly atmosphere. I came with friends, and we shared several different dishes to get a taste of everything. The ceviche was a standout, fresh and zesty. However, the tacos were a bit too saucy for my liking. The service was friendly but perhaps a tad slow, as we waited longer than expected for our bill. Overall, I enjoyed the outing, but there's room for improvement. " (*Curated Review*)

" SOL Mexican Cocina offers a fantastic blend of modern and traditional Mexican dishes. The environment is vibrant, and the staff is generally friendly. I enjoyed the tamales, which tasted authentic, and the margaritas were refreshing and not too sweet. The portions themselves could be a little larger, but I'm happy to sacrifice that for the quality of ingredients they've used. Overall, an enjoyable experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was very impressed with my visit to SOL! The food was of excellent quality, especially the shrimp tacos which were to-die-for! The ambiance is lively and colorful, definitely ideal for a casual night out with friends. Our server was very attentive and made great recommendations, which enhanced our dining experience. While the prices are a bit on the higher side, I think it's worth it given the overall package they offer. " (*Curated Review*)

" My recent visit to SOL was enjoyable but not perfect. The food was flavorful, and I particularly enjoyed the elotes — they were a highlight! However, the server seemed overwhelmed at times, which delayed our service. The atmosphere, though, was upbeat and made for a fun dining experience. I would likely return for the food but hope for swifter service next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" While I generally don't love chain restaurants, SOL Mexican Cocina has changed my perspective. Their tortilla chips and salsas are stellar, and the tacos were packed with flavor and ample filling. However, I think the place can be a bit crowded and loud during peak times, which can hinder the overall dining experience. That said, if you're looking for sangria and a festive vibe, this is the place to be. " (*Curated Review*)

" SOL is a mixed bag for me. The food was generally good, but I've had better Mexican experiences elsewhere. We found the enchiladas to be decent but not exceptional. The service was adequate, just about what you expect from a busy restaurant. The vibe of the place is energetic, which was nice. However, I'm on the fence about returning based on the food alone. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had an amazing dinner at SOL last week! I ordered the carne asada and my friend had the fish tacos; both were fantastic! The flavors were rich and definitely authentic. The atmosphere is lively with great decor, perfect for a night out. Service was attentive and polite, which added to the experience. I highly recommend the churros for dessert — they are heavenly!
