Completely change the menu so everything that I liked is now gone. The few things that are left are smaller portion and higher in price. How do you change all your entrées? Won’t be going back. Sad I really like this place.
SOL Mexican Cocina - Playa VistaResponded on May 17, 2026
Hello Maria, Thank you for your feedback and for being such a loyal guest over the years. We truly appreciate the support you’ve shown us by dining with us so often, which makes it especially disappointing to hear we let you down. We’re glad your server provided great service, but we understand your frustration with the menu changes, portion sizes, pricing, and surcharge. Our recent menu update was made after a lot of consideration as we work to balance rising food and operating costs while continuing to provide a scratch-made dining experience with quality ingredients. The surcharge is disclosed on our menu and is not intended to be hidden, but we understand and respect your concerns. Hopefully you can give us another opportunity, looking forward to serving you again. Thank you, JG

I spent Mother’s Day here and got to say, I wouldn’t have chosen any other place. Food mayyy be pricey but everything is freshly made, you can see your food being made, the dark ambiance gives calm feelings and the service is attentive which is what you want. I had a party seating of 14 and everyone had a great time! I’d definitely be back!
SOL Mexican Cocina - Playa VistaResponded on May 15, 2026
Thank you for choosing us to celebrate Mother’s Day. We are thrilled your party of 14 enjoyed the fresh, made-to-order dishes and the open-kitchen experience. We are glad the dark, calm ambiance and attentive service made the day special. We appreciate your note about pricing, and we look forward to welcoming you back.

Granted, it was Mother’s Day and they were busy, but they could have done better. I dropped my mom off to check in for our reservation while I parked. We were maybe 5 mins late and they had already given our table away. They then told her she had to wait until I arrived, which I understand. But they didn’t invite her to go to the bar or anything to make up for the fact that they gave away our table. Anyway, I get there n they seat us fairly quickly, we place our order and the waiter told us that things were taking a little longer than usual, but it took over an hour (probably 1 hour and 15-20 mins) for the food to arrive. It was bland and honestly, there’s cheaper places with better food. They didn’t even comp us anything for the significant delay. They could have removed the cost for 1 of the margaritas (we each had one), or comped the add on to my taco order of rice and beans (it was only $4), but nope. Overpriced, bland, poor customer service. The waiters were nice, but again, they could have tried to make up for giving away our table just by being more hospitable and by comping anything. I would not recommend eating here or even making a reservation since there appears to be no grace period whatsoever (what’s the point?). And again, the food was bland. It’s a shame, my mom picked this place for Mother’s Day and was looking forward to it, only to be greatly disappointed. She said she wouldn’t have picked Sol had she known it was going to be like this.
SOL Mexican Cocina - Playa VistaResponded on May 11, 2026
Hello Jackie, Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry your Mother’s Day visit did not meet expectations. Due to the holiday volume, we contacted guests in advance regarding our 15-minute grace period and requirement of the party be present before seating. While we understand your frustration, we’re glad we were still able to seat your party shortly after arrival. We also apologize for the food delay during one of our busiest days. Management was present on the floor throughout service, but we understand the experience still fell short. We’d appreciate more specific feedback on which dishes lacked flavor so we can continue improving. If you give us another opportunity, please ask for Juan Garcia. I’ll personally ensure your visit is properly supervised by management. Best Regards, JG

Kitchen was overloaded due to Mother’s Day crowd. Appetizers were great. Entrees took forever to arrive and when it did, a lot of it was cold or lukewarm warm. Servers did the best they could. Won’t be back on Mother’s Day.
SOL Mexican Cocina - Playa VistaResponded on May 17, 2026
Hello Adrienne, Thank you for spending Mother’s Day with us and for your honest feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed the appetizers and recognized that our servers were doing their best during such a busy holiday. We sincerely apologize for the long wait times and for some entrees arriving less than hot. While we did notify guests about extended ticket times before seating, we understand that the delays were still frustrating. Mother’s Day brought an overwhelming turnout, and some extended dining times affected both seating and kitchen flow throughout the day. We appreciate your patience and your comments are being shared with our team as we continue improving our holiday operations. We hope you’ll consider giving us another try on a regular service day. Best Regards, Juan Garcia
