Reviews for SOL Mexican Cocina in Irvine, CA
I LOVE THIS PLACE!!! What a great place! I love the decor and ambiance. When you walk in you see the kitchen which has glass all... around. There is a beautiful bar area to the right with a full bar. There's a really nice glass fire put table outside and anice patio dining area.We were seated quickly and our server was friendly and helpful. I ordered the fajitas and they wereamazing! The beef was perfectly cooked to order and was juicy and flavorful. It was a little too spicy with the chimichurri, butso tasy that I ate it, even though they offered to prepare a new one for me. My husband ordered the fish tacos and loved them.The fish was crispy outside and moist and tender inside.The cocktails were delicious and well balanced and we had such a goodtime. Thank you for excellent service and wonderful food! Read more
A beautiful restaurant with live entertainment. We were seated expeditiously. I was pleasantly surprised with how engaging the... servers was without being overbearing. The chips and salsa were extremely flavorful. My daughter had the steak tacos and theywere perfectly flavored...I know because I always sample her food. I look forward to dining again.... Read more
This place was a little hard to find - a bit in an office complex? Self Parking was really easy and they also offer valet. We... forgot to ask if they validated. The food and drink here was really good. They bring seasoned chips, salsa, and bean dip to thetable - I feel like beans are such a bonus. The drinks were really good. It was hard to pick but I landed on Blooms and Berries.My 8 year old found a love of calamari on this trip so we ordered that. These were calamari steaks in a coconut breading andreally so so good. We also had the queso and it was good as well. I had the grilled shrimp app as my main - they were heads onand we all had some fun with that! Delicious flavor from the grill and very filling - they were big! The restaurant was open andwell lit - nice atmosphere for sure. If you order the elotes they cut it off for you - so nice!! Read more
My dine in experience was very exciting and delicious. It certainly helped that someone else was paying for it because they... certainly know what they want for their food, but I find it to be very elevated Latin American food! The sauces, the spices, andthe fresh ingredients were so flavorful! Sadly the to go order was prepared incorrectly and didn't have any meat, which wasdisappointing for my wife, so we were disappointed about that and couldn't do anything about it once I had already left. Thatbeing said I do recommend them for an amazing, different, and elevated dine experience. Read more
Originally I was going to give this place 2 stars because honestly food was OK, drinks took forever to get there but Scott was... absolutely great at his job and managed to keep our complaining down. We get it. This place is new and still getting going.Great atmosphere and design. Read more
They just opened. Great atmosphere and nice service. They have a great outdoor patio with heaters if it gets cold. Live music... inside. Watch for the right parking structure. The correct one is adjacent to the restaurant. Don't go to the one behind therestaurant that's not connected to it. You won't be able to get validation there. Read more
New Mexican restaurant in the Irvine area. In the middle of all the corporate/business buildings.

Totally recommend it if your in the area. Read more
Decided to come here for dinner and was not disappointed. The place is fancier than a typical Mexican spot which was a nice... change. I was also just blown away by the quality and deliciousness of every single dish and the drinks! Every dish justseemed to get better and better as they came out, elevating the experience. The waiter and staff were friendly and checked inon us at the right times. Lastly, prices were not bad at all and meals and drink costed less than expected. ps. Definitelyget the corn appetizer, you won’t regret it Read more
