   Food and service were both great! It was a Saturday night, so busy. Restaurant was a little warm, we’re from Oregon, so we’re not use to the Arizona heat.

   The food is just meh. The guacamole only tastes like lemon. It needed salt and even with salt, it wasn’t that appetizing. I ordered the spicy chicken taco (I can’t remember the exact name, but it’s the top taco on the menu on the left) and it had no flavor despite it being spicy. The spicy sauce has a low burn but not a lot of flavor. I added salt to it also and it still didn’t help. Their house margarita only tastes like sweet and sour mixer. Their rice and beans were tasty though. It was just ok. I would never go back and all of it is way too expensive for no flavor.

   Our meals were great and large servings! Only negative was the place was very loud even though we were not in the bar. The musician was good but speakers were just too loud.

   I've been to SOL in the past and enjoyed the food, but this last time I ate there the food and service wasn't as good as previously. I mentioned that we were there celebrating a birthday, but our waiter didn't even ask us if we were interested in ordering dessert and brought the bill to the table.

   The food was wonderful and our server was great. But. The host table messed up by not having our table ready by the time of our reservation. It took almost 20 mins after our original rez time before we got seated - which is “walk-out” territory.

   I had reservations for eight on Friday night. Apparently, the only table available for us was being held prisoner by a group who had no intention of leaving. We were not seated for nearly an hour when another table opened up. We were frustrated and ready to leave HOWEVER, the restaurant took care of us! Our server, Jenna, was excellent. We were offered free appetizers and from the moment we sat down we were well taken care of. Jenna explained the menu and gave great suggestions. Our food was delicious and plentiful and we were very happy. On another note, hostage takers didn't leave for another 30 minutes. I understand that a restaurant can not ask people to leave, but maybe a little subtle hint that it's a Friday night and people are waiting outside might have helped.

   Food and service was good. The low score reflects the wait we endured despite having a reservation. We were seated 40 mins after our reservation time. The front staff seemed quite inexperienced and there is definitely something wrong with the way they book tables. Our other party reserved an inside table and was seated 35 mins later in an outdoor table.

   I love this place! The food, the service, and the ambiance is amazing! Can't wait to go back one of these days without kids, so I can try the cocktail menu. So much attention to detail, and the flavors are epic.

    Had a reservation at 7:30 the female hostess forgot about us waited till 8:07 to be sat. The female hostess skipped us, got called out for it, and continued to deny skipping us. The male host pointed to us and word for word said why are they still up here they were supposed to be next 25 minutes ago. I went to went to ask her are we next/ how much longer and her response is your guess is a good as mine. I understand restaurants get busy but to wait almost 40 minutes for a reservation and to only be skipped 2-3 times cause the hostess doesn’t know how to read a waitlist is annoying. Once we sat down no server came over for about 5-10 minutes because the host/hostess sat us where the server wasn’t ready for another table. No employee cared and I’m not petty enough to ask for a manager. Overall I think this is our last time eating here.

    Made a reservation for 6:30 pm for a Friday. Did not get seated until 7:15. I sat at the bar for 30 minutes with others in our party and went back to the front to check on my table. When I asked the hostess about the table she said, " I cannot predict when people will leave". I asked if she could estimate how much longer. She said no idea. 15 minutes later we were notified by text that our table was ready. While I was paying the bar tab, other members of our party said the the hostess said I was going ballistic to another person seating us. I asked to speak with a Manager who seemed ambivalent to the poor customer service. Overall food is good, but service is poor. Will not return.

    Made a reservation to sit outside, for a party of 2. When we arrived we were told by the hostess that we had to wait because, “you know how it is outside”. What does that mean? That was the last we heard from her until we were seated. There were 3 hosts at the front and none of them seemed interested is assuring all parties were kept informed of what was going on. We waited 30 minutes to then be seated inside. Let’s be clear I should have been asked if that was ok because I intentionally made my reservation for outside. Ask me my preference. But I’m a flexible guest. Several parties came in and were seated immediately outside and inside. Because I was standing by the hostess table I could hear that many of them did not have reservations. I don’t know how things work at this establishment but everywhere else that I’ve gone, if seating is limited or is taking longer than usual for guests with reservations, the guests with reservations are given first preference on seating (inside, outside, high top…whatever) before a guest walking in off the street. This was not this case here, several parties with reservations stood in the front waiting and waiting to be seated 30-40 minutes. That is unacceptable. One we were seated our waiter arrived unengaged. He did the bare bones minimum to serve us. Didn’t provide any recommendations no small talk and never came to check on us. I wanted another drink but I didn’t even bother. I just wanted to leave. There was a couple next to us that leaned over and asked if this level of service was normal. They had been waiting a while and were ready to order there meals. We sat and talked to them for about 10-15 minutes before we left and no one has still come over to take their order. Never again.

    Our waiter forgot us. Twice. First, our beverages, and then ignored us for 30 minutes after the meal. I talked to the manager who was awesome. Kudos to him for stepping up, bringing our check and doing the right thing. Food was good as usual.

    Sol is a safe pic for me these days. They used to be a strong pick for me, but they have been skimping. I ordered a fish salad - the salmon was likely less than 4 oz. It was extremely small. Paid $20 for a salad - I was hoping to get something more substantial. The flavor was amazing - always tastes good. That’s never the issue

    It's been a year since I've been back to Sol, and sadly it changed a lot. It was a Wednesday night, so not overly busy, but the waiter seems stressed and never really attended to our table. Plus the food and drinks were nothing special. Even my burrito was cold and had to have it sent back. Plus, why isn't their chicken all white meat? That's the tastiest part, but they don't offer all white meat chicken. They play off the nice atmosphere and location, but if you put the restaurant anywhere else, it'd only get mediocre reviews too.

    Came here for date night and loved the ambiance right away. The service was quick and our server was very friendly but I was most excited about trying the food. About 8 years ago I had the most amazing chile relleno in San Francisco and have been on the hunt ever since to find a place that could match the taste of that dish and SOL Mexican Cocina has done it! The Shrimp Chile Relleno was perfection and elicited a very verbal “oh my god” as I sat in silence for a minute just savoring the taste. I will definitely be coming back and highly recommend this place!

    It wasn’t until we sat down that we realized that the air conditioner was not working. We moved to outside seating, which was more bearable. Service was slow for the restaurant not being very busy. Food was decent. Overall not very impressed for the price.

    We always love this place and especially like the Crab Benidicto on the brunch menu. Sadly the last couple of Sundays that we were there they were out …… and we had come especially for that dish. Changing our brunch plans at Sol to Saturdays. Perhaps we can get in before they are gone.
