Not your usual Mexican fare. So many interesting options. We all loved our food! I had the mushroom and pablano quesadilla - just delicious. Beautifully decorated place.

Brandon went above and beyond to make sure our large party was always taken care of. Our food was always very quick and absolutely delicious. The wine prices were a little high but honestly we are in California so that is expected. The restaurant was very kind to put us by the live music in our own "mini" section without having to ask/request making it very easy to interact with all members without feeling as though we were bothering other tables. Would definitely return & ask for the same server.

Don’t like the food. Used to go to this restaurant location for many years when it was El Torrito Grill and before that Caliente. The food at SOL is much worse. Not even as good as Del Taco. I don’t plan to return after I use up my current gift cards.
