   If you’re looking for exceptional Mexican cuisine with a modern twist, SOL Mexican Cocina in Playa Vista is the spot to be! From the moment you step inside, the vibe is lively, warm, and inviting, with chic décor and a friendly staff that makes you feel right at home. Now, let’s talk about the food—absolutely incredible! The guacamole is super fresh, perfectly seasoned, and served with crispy chips that you can’t stop eating. Their tacos are next-level, with standout options like the Baja fish taco, which is crispy, flavorful, and topped with just the right amount of slaw and crema. The carnitas taco? Melt-in-your-mouth tender. And don’t sleep on the margaritas! They have a great selection, but the blackberry jalapeño margarita deserves a special mention—it’s the perfect mix of sweet, spicy, and refreshing. Service was top-notch, too. Our server was attentive, knowledgeable, and happy to make recommendations. Even when the place got busy, we never felt rushed. Overall, SOL Mexican Cocina checks all the boxes for an amazing dining experience. Whether you’re coming for Taco Tuesday, weekend brunch, or a casual night out, this spot delivers every time. Can’t wait to come back!

   Was very disappointed in our service. It was for a birthday and not only did they charge on the bill for a birthday dessert that wasn’t asked for, everything was extremely delayed (hours) and our sever was nowhere to be found at all. I’ve gone here so many times but was very disappointed that I chose this place to spend my birthday.

   Service was slow for drinks and I booked standard table as we had 3 kids but got a high top.

   They were very short staffed. No one ever came to assist us until I went up to the bar where the manager was he confirmed that they were short staffed, then came to our table and offered us a free appetizer just for them to add it to the bill. I’ve been coming here for years as I used to Live locally and it was always a great place to go, but today I brought my friends and it was very disappointing.
