    Super cute large group seating
    Maria S.

    We hosted my brothers graduation here in the private section and it was so perfect! They were on point with the food and service. Very attentive. Orders of a big party taken perfectly. The cocktails were delicious, and they even had live Marachi band and karaoke at the end of the night.

    The featured menu with zero pricing

    My parents went to eat here as they have been going there for a while and pretty frequently. However, they will not be returning after charging my Mother $30 for an okay cocktail, using Don Julio blanco. Which an entire bottle of that cost $30.. I'm in the industry of the spirits world and I told her to talk to a manager as that has to be a mistake. Nope he gaslit her and said "well we pour two shots in there and we need to make our margins" that's literally the cost of the entire bottle! This was ordered off the featured menu where they did not put pricing knowing people will get stuck with paying. This shouldn't be no more than a $14 cocktail. You're just straight out stealing money from your customers with this little move.

    Pollo Con Crema

    Don Pedro used to have the best pollo con crema in the area, one if my favorite tex-mex dishes. Same as their sister ship Azteca Mexican Restaurants'. Any restaurant can have a bad day, but after 3 trips for my 'ol fav it's obvious they have changed the way they prepare this once flavorful dish, and it's not for the better. If you're not familiar with pollo con crema, generally it's grilled chicken served in a sour cream bechamel sauce with onions, bell pepper, and sometimes mushrooms. The key to a great PCC is griddle cooking the chicken first to infuse that great maillard effect flavor, then finishing off with the cream sauce and the vegetables. After ordering and it came back within a few minutes, I suspected the worst. And I was right. The chicken was either boiled, poached, or steamed. The bell peppers and onions were still raw and crunchy. The cream sauce had no flavor whatsoever and the flavorless chicken wasn't even completely covered in the sauce. Obviously cooked separately, then tossed in. Yuck! What a shame! I will say this though, the mango margarita was pretty tasty!

    taco was soggy , server didn't check on me much and I paid $41 when I didn't even eat my whole meal . Place is the same as Aztec restaurant instead Aztec is way better in food quality, customer service , and speed . I will not be back !!

    Food was delish, didn't take long to arrive and it was fresh. Had to deduct two stars because took a good while for my waitress to come. When she finally did she was friendly and took my order quickly, but once my food came I never saw her again until she brought the bill. Place wasn't packed at 2 in a Wednesday afternoon. But in any case, because the food and horchata was so good I'd go back. I got the deluxe burrito and it was just what the doctor order. Filling and oh so good.

    I experienced good customer service and food here. The staff is extremely welcoming and cares about their customers. One person I was with sent her food back twice because of not understanding the menu (her fault, not the restaurant's fault). The waitress was so patient with her and allowed her to reorder. Really nice dining room and there is also a outdoor dining area.

    I Always come here for the tortilla soup. It's so delish!! the servers are always nice & attentive. If your looking for a classy authentic Mexican restaurant this is it! They also have a Gold room for special events.

    Fresh Guacamole

    Went here for a friends birthday. They had great customer service and even did something special for her which I thought was really sweet. They even gave some dessert that I would say was better than the entree I got. I got the fajitas and it was not at all what I expected. The onions were not cooked the way I liked. Usually the meat looks seasoned more but this meal just looked more "white" in appearance and there were more veggies than meat. I was a bit disappointed since I never had a fajita that disappointed me. However, I must say their drinks were pretty good as well as their guac. I came on a day where they had a band going on so that made my experience a bit better.

Well , after a round of "what do want " I don't know..... what do you want ? We decided on visiting the Crafty crab. After all , you can't go wrong with seafood right ? Boy were we wrong . When we walked in we were serenaded by " Pop that coochie" from the 2 live crew . We were seated and ordered . I was then told what I ordered wasn't available and the menu didn't reflect that . Ok , no problem so I went with a Po boy fish sandwich and the wife got a boil to share with the daughter . The Po boy came out really fast , like too fast and so I was like ok let's see what this is all about . The bun was refrigerator cold and the "fish" was more breading than fish and had an awful oil tinge to it . A fish filet could have beat it. The wife didn't even finish eating as she said it was awful. Besides the "ambiance " Tran's the food , I'd say the soft drink was the best thing and the server was cool as well . No thank you crafty crab. When I got home I had a feeling of nausea and kept trying to wash it away with anything I could keep down .

Luckily we snagged a spot and walked over to the lake area. We were seated quickly and our server took drink orders and gave us a chance to review the large menu. There is lots to choose from but, we decided on shrimp tacos. We tried the chipotle tacos and the grilled shrimp tacos. Both were very good. You get a choice of sides, and we tried the Mexican street corn salad and the Mac and cheese. I wasn't a huge fan of the corn salad. It was served cold, but I wasn't really a fan of the taste. The Mac and cheese looked creamy and gooey and was told it was really good. Next time I will order a different side. The atmosphere here is bright and lively with a nice view of the water where you can take paddle boat rides. People love to walk over here, so it is nice to have an open view. The restaurant has a tiki bar vibe and has surfing theme throughout the place. Really fun and relaxing. This is a great stop if you are in the area, expect to circle the lot a bit on the weekends, but the food and atmosphere are great here. We will definitely return to Boardwalk Billy's.

We ordered the Sol Sunrise and the Berry Delish - Both were not only good but strong as well. Our waitress was polite and offered some good recommendations on what to get. We ended up getting the Salmon and Waffles w/ "Homestyle Fries" (roasted potatoes). The Salmon was perfectly seasoned with a nice crunch to it. The waffle was fine - Didn't look or taste like a fresh waffle but again it was fine. Those potatoes??? 10/10 - I could've just gotten those and would've been content since I'm an avid potato lover! Also, got the Sol All Star Breakfast. Waffle, Eggs, Turkey Bacon, and "Homestyle Fries." Everything was cooked as expected and taste was good. It's a nice brunch spot right at the boardwalk.

The restaurant was busy but not overly so. They were able to seat us right away. There were lots of delicious items on the menu. My friends all got the salmon (two grilled and one fried). I got the crabcake because I just have to be different, I guess. They brought out cornbread muffins with honey butter that were delicious. They were really soft and cake-like and the honey butter topping was awesome. Two of us got side salads for our side and they came out with the meal, which isn't my preference but the food came out quickly any way so it was fine. The side salads were MASSIVE. Lettuce, cheese, tomatoes and onions (removed from mine) in a huge bowl. Probably could have been a meal to itself. The food came out and there was some confusion on sides that were mismatched and all of the salmons were grilled (instead of the one fried). Everyone really enjoyed their meal. I kinda wish I had gotten the salmon because it looked amazing and really well seasoned. The crab cake I had was good too. I think it had their Garlic Parmesan Cream sauce on top. The crab cake was big and had plenty of crab. I think I would have preferred a traditional tartar sauce on the side. I got their mac and cheese for my other side. It was super creamy and cheesy. It was also topped with the garlic parmesan cream sauce. Very tasty. Service was good. Not ton of visits to the table but I don't think we ever wanted for anything. My total with tip was about $40 and I think it was worth it for all the food I got. Would be a fun place to return too! Good job, Sol'Delish!
