   Seated right by exit door facing parking lot (Should not have a table there) Waiter changed his attitude as soon as he found out, we were not ordering alcohol

   Great foods and service. We were eating in the best area where the view was very beautiful. Our waiter was very helpful. Highly recommended!

   Worst fajitas ever. Do not order. Very small shrimp. Not the traditional style. You have to wait ten minutes at the hostess stand before someone even acknowledges you. The happy hour is better than the regular menu. The tacos are pretty good but they don’t listen when you say to take out sauce, etc..

   Thanks for the review, Genia. We're sorry to hear that you didn't enjoy your experience at SOL Mexican Cocina - Newport Beach. We take pride in our food and it's disappointing to hear that our fajitas and service didn't meet your expectations. We know that the traditional fajitas come out sizzling, we do a different approach at our store. We appreciate your feedback and will use it to improve and speak with our serving staff. We hope to have the opportunity to serve you again and provide a better experience. -Sol Management Team

   Waited 50 mins with a reservation. Service was slow and had long wait after placing order. Made bday reservation and had no birthday celebration provided by staff. Food was ok, nothing that stood out. Drinks were good. Host was kind but manager had no time management with seating situation. Open table reservations were still open online even with the excess wait time. Will probably not return.

   All four of our menus had spilled salsa. We were seated by the bar and were constantly bumped into. It took several times asking different staff for utensils, refill on chips and salsa, water…basically anything we wanted had to be asked several times to the wait staff. We been to the one in Irvine and our experience there was great…top notch. Won’t be going back to the one in NB.

   All great but they need to figure out their reservation system. Didn’t see us until 45 minutes after our reservation.

   Had a great meal! Graduation season so crowded as anticipated. Did there best on accommodating us with crowds and celebrations. The reservations are a guideline for a chance of getting seated within a reasonable time. Thanks for the great meal!
