   Party of 6. Our server, JC was excellent and professional. The music was a bit loud and we had to ask to turn it down a few times. I think we were right under a speaker. Chips and salsa was delish, will return.

   Obviously a popular restaurant in the area. Enjoyed the guacamole and street corn appetizers. I enjoyed my grilled chicken burrito, but my husband said the two street tacos he ordered were just "ok." I don't recall which types he ordered. Margaritas came in different sized glasses each time -- why the smaller glasses for the same price? They also weren't very strong, which is a bummer given the cost. Next time I'll stick to beer. That said, I would give this place another shot...good place to dine with friends.

   Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback! We're happy to hear you enjoyed the guacamole, street corn appetizers, and your grilled chicken burrito. We appreciate your husband's honest feedback on the street tacos and will definitely review the preparation to make sure we’re meeting expectations on every dish. We’re sorry to hear the margaritas weren’t up to par for you. The varying glass sizes shouldn’t affect the price, and we’ll be sure to check in with our bar team to ensure consistency with both the servings and strength. We definitely appreciate your choice to give us another shot and are excited to have you back, hopefully for a better margarita experience next time! -Sol Management Team

   We went for lunch and there were 4 tables including us, very dead. No one came to our table for 15-20mins. A waitress took our drink order but she wasn’t servicing our table. Probably 30mins till we finally ordered. We ordered a salad to share and a taco each - two kids plates. Our salad came first, 5 minutes later our kids food came, another 5 minutes the tacos came. Badly timed. No one refilled our drinks. The tacos tasted like they were sitting under a heat lamp - shrimp was rubbery and the steak was not seasoned. You expect certain service & food when you pay $110 for a salad, two tacos, and 2 kid plates (the kids liked their tacos). It’s just gone so downhill. Such a bummer, we used to love it here but sadly, won’t be going back.

   I’m so sad. No idea what happened, but Sunday Brunch was always great here. It was dead. Our (both dishes) eggs were cooked way too much. Rock solid yoke. Says over easy on menu in the description. My wife ordered an Arnold Palmer light lemon aid and the refill was all lemonade, so we ordered an iced tea to balance it out and we were charged for it. Seemed odd. The chips are different now, cheaper grocery store style. Lastly, the bacon they were famous for went from 3 thick delicious pieces down to one thin over cooked piece. We left hungry and dissappointed. Staff was super friendly.
