“ I cannot stand how great the food is here, the food will melt your taste buds They nailed it! I recommend making reservations at this restaurant it can get crowded at lunch and dinner. Parking is limited around this restaurant near Santa Monica beach. The twist to this review is that even though this restaurant is about two and half hours away from Mexico, the taste is surprisingly authentic. Here's my executive summary: Service: 5/5 Drinks: 5/5 Good for groups: 5/5 Depth of Menu: 5/5 Deliciousness level: 5/5 From the outside of this busy street, it is easy to past this restaurant especially at night but there is more than meets the eye. We had a party of 10 hungry adults and the place had an abundance of real estate to accommodate our party and the service we had was excellent! The drink menu has depth here and were delicious. Some of us ordered strawberry margaritas, some Corona beers. The bartenders know what they are doing here. Some of the tastes of the evening included the chips, with salsa and guacamole. Out of these three dishes, the guacamole grabbed my attention. We added the Chipotle Glazed Pork Ribs and he Calamari. All of these dishes were delicious! Others at the table got the chicken and beef fajitas, the grilled Romaine salad, crispy Tinga Chicken Tacos, the Del Mar Sea Bass and I ordered the the 'Famous Carnitas' - which was home run! I heard nothing but forks clanking the plates and delightful yums from their lips. I've raved to everyone about how fabulous the experience was and can't wait to go again." ”

“ Upscale, nice area, friendly staff but we were waiting a lot in between requests. Enjoyed the marg flight and chile rellenos. Meat one was very good. Dessert was forgettable. Chips and dip were great. Great setting for a date or work celebration. Parking was confusing and they only validate on the south side lot. ”

“ I called ahead for a reservation for Valentine's Day the day before and they got me in. We ended up running a little late and they had no issue adjusting the reservation to accommodate us, which was great. We arrived and were immediately seated. The restaurant has a great vibe, everything was clean and the staff were very friendly. We promptly received our water and got some complimentary chips and salsa with refried beans. It was delicious! Juan came over and took our order and we received our food promptly. Everything was really tasty, and the portion of my carnitas was big. My girlfriend said she wished she had a little more mahi mahi in her tacos, but my portion was more than enough to filll us both up. Our water was constantly full (a big thing I equate to attentive and quality service), Juan frequently checked in to make sure we were ok, and our dishes were pre-bussed in a timely manner. The service, atmosphere, and food were excellent! I liked that there was a wide variety of price ranges for the food but the quality seemed high across the board. That makes this place great for special occasions but also for a more casual dinner. Highly recommend! I almost forgot, we got the caramel churros for dessert and they were elite. Make sure you try them! ”

“ Where do I start? The moment we came in, we were greeted with a host in the front who was willing to accommodate us even though it was Valentines Day. Our server Ramiro was EXTREMELY knowledgeable on the menu & all the hip things on the menu, I love him lol. He knew the best drinks and what he thought I'd like, he was right! I'll definitely be back to SOL Santa Monica. Great vibes and amazing food ”

“ What a wonderful establishment! A great way to enjoy a birthday dinner! Let's dive in... Service (5/5): The service is top notch! I ordered a drink with flamed-smoked herbs in the glass and the showmanship is phenomenal! They performed and made the drink table side. They also brought out a dessert for my birthday after the meal which was delightful! Chips and Guac (5/5): The guac was extra on top of the chips and salsa they bring out. All of it was flavorful and such a nice nosh ahead of the main meal! Mar y Tierra (5/5): This dish was vibrant with flavor and had a nice cheesy finish on top. Salmon Salad (5/5): The dish was perfectly cooked (fish wasn't dry) with a sweet fruit flavor throughout! TL;DR: A fantastic Mexican bite to eat! And a fun place to celebrate a birthday! ”
