Reviews for SOL Mexican Cocina in Newport Beach, CA
The food was absolutely delicious. We had guacamole, Carne Asada tacos (Viper tacos), and shrimp tacos. I usually judge a... Mexican restaurant by the salsa, and theirs is one of the best I've ever had. The Cadillac Margaritas are also divine! Thehost, Kendall, went above and beyond to help make sure we had a wonderful evening, all with a brilliant smile. Ask forChristian to be your waiter. He was incredible. He was knowledgeable about the menu and what was tasty, he never let us runout of water, and he took care of our every need with a friendly and uplifting attitude. We will absolutely be back!!

Located right by the water’s edge, the ambience of this place is pretty great! We tried the octopus dish and it was absolutely... delicious! Their tacos were also really good. The only negative thing about this place was that they took more than an hour toserve us, hence the 4 stars. Still, I will give it another shot when I’m the area. Read more
Popular restaurant with delicious Mexican foods. The Catch of the Day was outstanding in preparation and taste. The tacos have... fresh ingredients and are seasoned well. The sandwiches, like the Ribeye I enjoyed, were served on a crispy toasted bun, thesteak was grilled and tender, and the sauces were flavorful and added greatly to the balance of the overall bite. The salsa,guacamole, and Mexican corn were all prepared with good taste and presentation. Sol has an upbeat vibe and positive staff energyand the bonus is the waterview! Read more
Loved this place before COVID, still love it after. Homemade chips and salsa can't be beat. Only complaint is portion sizes... has decreased due to rising costs. Read more
Wonderful dinner date with my wife after our spa day. The food was good, nothing super fancy; however our service was excellent.... Our server was very informative and helpful and made our experience there even better. We had a nice window seat looking out atthe water and being able to see the boats. I had the chili ???? verde and my wife had the wild caught fish ???? Read more
Such a fun place for Mexican food. Pretty pricey but great attentive service. We mainly got some apps, and while the corn is... amazing, I think I would hold off on the goat cheese dish. It was really good but also super sweet. Read more
We had a great time celebrating a friend's birthday. We had a larger party of 10+ people and were sat outside. It was a cold... night but the heaters made it comfortable. The food was great, the combination of flavors they use are interesting anddelicious. The margaritas were awesome and we all got a little toasted before leaving. The staff was nice and the server washelpful. Only ding would be the service was a little slow but we were outside and a larger party. I doubt that's the case with asmall party sitting inside. Live music was a nice touch and they had speakers playing it outside. A little expensive but we hada nice time. Read more
You can't beat the location! We were here for Sunday brunch. Great menu, wanted to try a bunch of things but ended up with the... shrimp chili relleno, crab cake and shrimp Benedict and the chilaquiles with carnitas. Everything was wonderful. Read more
