Start things off with a refreshing Stiltsville Special Rum Punch or a tasty Junipa Colada, a bubbly pineapple soda with Spiced Rum. Then dive into a delicious plate of Mariquitos Nachos, a classic plate of Arroz con Pollo, or the amazing Lechon Asado (tender roast pork marinated with onions). If you're dining with friends, order a few dishes and pass them around -- most are big enough to share. Service was outstanding on both our visits here, and ample parking is available in the Apex decks. A fantastic addition to the SouthPark dining scene, Calle Sol is one spot I hope stays around for a long time.

Ambiance was giving Little Havana. Very cute felt like I was somewhere in a Latin Cafe. The…read moreservice was impeccable! One of the best services I've had. We went on Monday, not a busy day in the middle of the afternoon however our server gave us some the best experience. He was very knowledgeable about all the items. He made great suggestions and was attentive. Our only complaint was the yuca. It was very bland. Flavorless. Everything else was very flavorful. The beef you could tell was marinated as well as tender. It just fell apart with the pull of a fork. The Cubano was great as well. I had the Tampa cubano that added the salami. We will definitely be back to try some of the other dishes. We love that there was a variety of items to choose from .

After one meal here, we understood why. Calle Sol has a cool laid back vibe, great service, strong mojitos, and food that absolutely delivers. The ceviche is the star for a reason. Super fresh with bright flavor, and the crispy plantains alongside it were the perfect seafood fish combo. The skinny spicy margarita with the tajín rim and mojitos were excellent too. Our favorite was the Cuban rice. Rich flavor with this aioli on top that made everyone at the table keep stealing bites from each other. The vaca frita (beef) had great flavor with crispy edges done right, and the banana tres leches dessert was flat out dangerous. Easily enough for three people unless your family has zero self control. We don't really have Cuban food like this back home, so this felt like a treat. Safe to say our daughter picked a winner. We'll definitely be back next trip to Charlotte.

Flavor is there, food is fresh, and it's finally not disappointing me anymore. Whatever changed... keep that energy No sé qué pero en Punta Cana definitivamente cambió algo... y me encanta De verdad parece que hay nueva administración entrenando a los chefs (cocineros), porque la diferencia ¡se siente en el paladar! Antes era inconsistente, pero ahora la comida está BUENA, BUENISIMA con sabor, fresca y con ese toque dominicano que hacía falta. Que sigan así, porque por fin Punta Cana ya no me está decepcionando. ¡Voy a regresar!

Everything we ate was incredibly delicious and so authentic. We ordered a ton of food for our table (most not pictured here because we ate so fast!).

We went on a Saturday afternoon and enjoyed the friendly atmosphere and attentive service. Our meal was excellent as it has consistently been, especially since the changes have been made to the restaurant. I want to make sure that I mention the cleanliness of the women's bathroom. This is the second time in a row that I've used it and it is very well maintained. It's large, clean and odorless. It gives me an overall positive feeling about the restaurant, which adds to my comfort when we eat here. We love coming here. The prices are reasonable, the portion sizes are just right, and the servers are attentive and friendly. A great experience!!

After my last visit to this restaurant, I've reached the conclusion that Mabi Tropical has stopped…read moretrying and given up. When I initially visited (in their first couple of months after opening) I was super in love with this place. Unfortunately every experience after that has been super inconsistent. I've ordered their seafood sancocho three times and every single time I've gotten a different dish. The last time I ordered it - it was more so vegetables with 2 teaspoons of broth, some rice and old fried yucca. If you look at the photo - I believe you can tell the yucca looks like it'd been in the fridge for days and they just threw it in there for good measure. The waiter didn't smile and generally looked miserable to have to deal with me. I asked for hot sauce that never came. Just overall, really disappointed in my last experience here and unfortunately won't be retuning due to how inconsistent my last few visits have been. You might get something that tastes decent, you might not.

Authentic Latin-American food!…read more My wife got the coconut fish plate and she said the fish was seasoned wonderfully, and the coconut dressing on the plate was amazing. The salad and banana were good but nothing to ooo about. I got the Steak, Chicken, and Shrimp plate with beans and rice, salad and some fried plantain. The steak was deliciously cooked to a medium and had great flavor. I don't know what kind of seasoning they used on the shrimp, but it was amazing. As for the chicken, it was alright, it had good flavor, but not my favorite. The salad was good. The beans and rice were okay, and the banana was delicious. Not pictured is a Baleada Sencilla that I got with Avocado, that was amazing! The tortilla was fresh and tasted home made like if it was right from Honduras! We also got Horchata and Jamaica juice, both were excellent. This will honestly be my go to for Latin American food for the foreseeable future. They also let me know they have Karaoke on the weekends and had a bar available for drinks too. Great place, great food, great ambiance.

I've been meaning to come try the food and finally got the chance recently. The vibes and aesthetics are top tier here - my kind of place! The "sound bar" aspect is a little bit of a gimmick but I'm into it lol. It's just a vibey place for drinks and small plates that happens to play mood music. Food - pretty good! Kinda overpriced lol. A $12 taco is a bit much. Again, I think this is a great place for a one-on-one date or small group birthday meal. Service - no complaints!
