" SOL Mexican Cocina is a beautiful space with a contemporary design. The ambiance is fantastic and sets the perfect backdrop for a meal. I went for brunch, where I had the breakfast burrito, which was hearty and delicious. I cannot recommend their margaritas enough; they are refreshing without being too sweet. The only downside was the wait time for a table, but once seated, the service was prompt. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes for SOL after hearing so many rave reviews, but my experience was somewhat mixed. While the food was undeniably tasty — particularly the mole sauce — the service was noticeably slow. We asked for water a couple of times and it didn’t arrive until much later. The ambiance is beautiful, but I think they need to work on their efficiency during busy times. I'll give them another chance because the food quality is worth it. " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve frequented SOL a few times, and I'm always impressed by the hospitality. Their menu choices are creative, and each dish I tried was packed with flavors. The ambiance is delightful, perfect for date nights or family gatherings. Whether I'm ordering the salsa verde or trying their specials, everything feels fresh and made with care. Can't wait to return for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" SOL Mexican Cocina has become my go-to spot for casual dinners. Their happy hour is unbeatable, and the margaritas are refreshing. I love sharing the guacamole and chips before diving into the tacos. Each dish I've tried has been well-prepared, and there's a real attention to detail, which I appreciate. Service has always been friendly, and the decor gives it a chic vibe that makes it a great place for socializing. " (*Curated Review*)

" We decided to try SOL after hearing rave reviews from friends. I was particularly excited about the ceviche, and it did not disappoint — fresh and full of flavor! The atmosphere was buzzing with energy and overall very vibrant. Service was okay; we had to remind our server a couple of times about drink refills. Still, the quality of the food makes up for any minor hiccups. Looking forward to returning! " (*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!
