Came in for happy hour and had a great experience. We enjoyed the sangria, margaritas, oysters, and tacos . everything was delicious. The restaurant is very nicely designed with thoughtful decor, and the staff was friendly and welcoming. They also offer a patio and private dining space, which is a nice touch. If I'm in the area again, I'd definitely come back for dinner. read more

Aesthetically pleasing but very very LOUD - the saxophone and bongo players came around quite often and it was distracting with them playing the birthday song over the already loud music the restaurant was playing on the speakers. No food was worth the price, but the Mar Y Sol margarita I had while waiting for our table to be ready was tasty! read more

My experience at Mar y Sol was by far one of the worst restaurant experiences I've had. I completely understand that restaurants get busy and can sometimes be understaffed, so I normally don't mind waiting a little longer for service. Unfortunately, this experience went far beyond simply being busy. Our server took an unreasonable amount of time just to bring our drinks. When the drinks finally arrived, the cups were visibly dirty, with Tajín and grime still on them. I brought it to the server's attention, and he seemed completely unfazed and simply asked if I wanted another cup. When our appetizers arrived, the menus were never removed from the table. After we finished the appetizers, the dirty plates were never cleared either. Then our main courses arrived, and instead of clearing the table, the server simply moved the dirty appetizer plates to the side. We were a party of six, so by this point the table was extremely overcrowded with dirty plates, menus, cups, and our main dishes. Throughout the meal, our server never checked on us to see if we needed anything or how the food was. We weren't even provided silverware without having to address it. To make matters worse, the salmon and rice had a long hair in the food. For a bill of $262, I expected a completely different level of cleanliness, food handling, and service. I'm not expecting perfection, and I understand that servers can get overwhelmed, but dirty glassware, uncleared dishes, lack of basic attention, and a hair in the food are unacceptable at this price point. Unfortunately, this experience left a very disappointing impression of Mar y Sol. read more

The service was fairly consistent and the food came out quickly. The menu items seems little simple, and could use more flavor. The drinks really helped save the meal and bring everything together. The ambiance however was very nice, the restaurant has a nice date night aesthetic read more

This was a cute place that you can take a date on if you want to run into a high risk of mediocre food. The ambiance is beautiful and the food is meh. Also, if you get the chicken... check it... because my friend's chicken was undercooked, bled, and was spongy. I personally would only go back for drinks but not the food. BYO Margarita: 10/10.... I got Passionfruit, tajin rim, blanco tequila, and asked for it to be spicy. This was perfectly balanced and tasted amazing. Carne asada: 5/10.. the steak was cool and I needed to add seasoning to it. It was also a very small portion, so do not order if you want to be full. The rice and beans was seasoned perfectly Guacamole: 3/10... ffflllaaaavvvvvooorrrrrlllleeesssss... please ask them for salt. read more

Went to eat with my girlfriend for a girls night and we had a great time! The vibe was super cute and just what we wanted. Food and drinks were super good.

This place was (mostly) delicious; mostly Peruvian cuisine with other South American influences. The food was flavorful - the handmade tortillas were so so good! Best I've ever had. We got the queso fundido for an appetizer, I got the shrimp tacos, and my husband got the short rib tacos. All of them were excellent, but then we got the creme brûlée pineapple. I wanted to love it because it was beautiful! The caramelized pineapple chunks at the bottom were definitely a treat but the custard wasn't set, it was actually runny. It also had a weird bitter aftertaste, like it was made with artificial sweetener. I wouldn't order it again. The main reason why I didn't give this place five stars is because of the noise level; I'd have knocked it two stars if the food hadn't been so good. This is not a good date night place, at least not if you're looking to have actual conversation. It was so loud we couldn't hear our waiter. They had the music at an insane level and it was super fast-paced. Later, a live saxophone and bongo duet came out to semi-play along with the overhead music, so it was competing tempos. I won't lie though - there were several bachelorette parties there and they seemed to be having a blast. We are in our early 40's and while I don't consider us "old" - I'm thinking this is just a younger crowd and not what we were expecting. So with all that being said, if you're looking for delicious food in a loud and raucous atmosphere, this is the place for you! (At least on a Saturday night). If a calmer, quieter place is more your vibe, maybe skip this one. read more

Terrible service. Karina Melendez (supervisor) is a terrible leader and refused to legally compensate one of her barback workers for the days he worked. Unfortunately he had to quit due to the lack of good leadership and the terrible work environment she created for him. They need better management ASAP! read more

What a chic and hip place. The ambience was so nice a real vibe. The service was excellent and efficient. They picked up the dirty appetizer plates and forks brought clean silverware afterwards. A couple improvements would be to have the wine chilled before serving or bringing out. And identifying spicy heat level. The lomo saltado was too spicy for my taste but had a great taste. But I had to return it because it was way to much to handle. The waiter was very pleasant and brought me out something else completely different and I was happy with. Prices were as expected and the plate sizes are small but you are paying for the experience and service. The trece leche cake was excellent and could eat a whole one on my own . read more

I really wanted to love this place, but the food did not deliver. Argentinian Beef Empanadas - 3/10 These were... okay. The flavor was mild and the filling didn't have much depth. Not terrible, but definitely not something I'd reorder. Queso Fundido - 0/10 Absolutely the biggest disappointment of the night. Bland, oily, and nowhere near the gooey, flavorful queso you expect. I wouldn't recommend this at all. Baja Shrimp Tacos - 5/10 Pretty average. The shrimp was cooked fine, but the seasoning and toppings didn't come together in a memorable way. Edible but not exciting. LA Diabla Cocktail The star of the night. Great balance, great flavor honestly the drink carried the whole experience. Overall, the service was fine and the ambiance was nice, but the food missed the mark for me. I'd come back for a drink, but not for the dishes I tried. What do yall recommend? read more

Eh. I was expecting more after hearing raving reviews about this place, and it being so hard to get a reservation. My 3 girlfriends and I decided to try dinner here Friday night & I have to say the ambiance definitely carries the weight of value. Gorgeous interior and entry way that is very instagrammable. The service was friendly and fast, but everything on the menu seemed overpriced for the quantity and quality. The presentation was gorgeous, but the food itself left a lot to be desired. I was still starving after the meal after having spent around $75 on food and drink, and the fish quality wasn't the best I've had. All and all, I'd come back to have a drink at the bar but not to dine. read more

Big Eye Tuna Ceviche, Patatas Bravas, White Tuna Crudo, Guacamole, Duck Flautas, Lomo Saltado, Grilled Chilean Sea Bass I'm always obsessed with the vibes here! Such a fabulous resort style setting with the most delicious, beautiful drinks. Even their mocktails were fantastic! The food was pretty good, but there were some misses. The big eye Tuna ceviche was decent, but such a tiny portion served in a occlusive bowl. The white Tuna crudo was frankly disastrous--it was drowning in some sauce, and the Tuna itself tasted like it was rotten--all 10 or so of us tried a bite and immediately spit it back up. The duck flautas were solid! The lomo saltado was my favorite--full of flavor and spice, although a touch bit too salty. The Chilean sea bass was pretty good too read more

Great spot to grab a drink or have a nice dinner! The decor was gorgeous. The entrance is absolutely stunning and the vibe was very upscale. We went on a Saturday night around 9pm and it was very busy. I would recommend having a reservation if you plan to eat there! The bar was full, and so we were kindly oversee a table outside to enjoy our drinks. The bartenders were so sweet and accommodating! Even with the bar being full, they offered a great alternative with the outside option. The manager on duty was truly so kind and helpful! He checked in multiple times and showed me to the restroom. Entire staff was great. Only reason I am giving 4 stars is the drinks were unfortunately not too great. It could have been it was very busy so the bartenders were moving quick. Will certainly give another chance though! If you want to go to a place that feels upscale, please check it out!! read more

I'm surprised about the mixed reviews. This place is amazing and we had such a great Valentine's Day dinner. We started with the QUESO FUNDIDO. So good with the fresh homemade tortillas. Then we had the PARILLADA ARGENTINA which was a meat board with sirloin, filet, sausage and chicken served with trio of sauces and handmade tortillas. The sirloin and filet were perfect and I loved the flavor of the sausage. The sauces were delicious and a perfect pairing to the meat selection. For dessert we had the PINA COLADA CREME BRULEE. Delicious and the presentation was beautiful. The ambiance of the restaurant was romantic. The waiter was SO friendly and knowledgeable. He had great recommendations and seemed to really enjoy his job. He was very attentive and made the experience all together perfect. The only complaint I had was the sauces didn't make it in our to-go container. read more

I haven't left a review for a restaurant in a long while, but I have to for Mar Y Sol. I don't think I've ever had more disappointing dining experience in Dallas. My fiancé and I went for date night here - Guacomole - 4/5 highlight of the night Drinks - 2/5 $20 for Mango marg. So excessively sugary, barely passable for alcoholic Food - 1/5 the Lomo Saltado was OFFENSIVE it was so bad. Just overly salted beef and rice. We left it. The street tacos were well done and edible Service was slow (restaurant was empty) but they were at least nice. Bill was a mind bending $166. Even in an overpriced city, this stands out as the bill that hurt the most, bc the food quality was worse than a Torchys, Mi Casina, Taco Stand, etc. read more

First review of 2025 goes to Mar Y Sol Cocina .. This place is all about ambiance, beginning with the entry corridor, Mar Y Sol Cocina atmosphere permeates chill & laid back. Whether date night, happy hour with friends, our business meeting, Mar Y Sol's dim lighting low-fi music allows you the opportunity to break bread yet still hold a conversation without screaming across the table. Visiting for a birthday party, restaurant midweek wasn't extremely busy, however still had a small evening dinner rush. Menu wise, the establishment has some exotic options however house speciality items such as an Argentinian meat platter, picana steak, or seafood options such as sea bass or snapper , there's enough for the fine dining experience or simple meal. Having just left South America, I opted away from steak choosing Seabass instead. Fairly priced, the meal decently portioned. The highlight was the Caribbean curry sauce. Overall, it was a pleasant experience. I'll definitely be back for another visit. read more

Service was horrible. At a restaurant with this price point, the servers should know how to do their job. We had to ask our server, Adrian M, several times for items we needed. He brought out a drink that had lipstick on the glass and when he went to go get it remade, he forgot about it. We asked where the drink was and he just tried to sell us another one. We shouldn't have to remind our server 3 times for things. We asked for the check and he told us to wait a minute so he could upsell desert to the other people at our table. Ridiculous! read more

I normally don't leave reviews, but for this to be an upscale restaurant, the service was bad and the food was mediocre. We made reservations for 5 people, and even though the restaurant was slow and had plenty of tables open, we were sat at a table that was not even set for 5 people. Then we waited an additional 20 min without a server. We watched other tables being greeted as soon as they sat down. After bringing this to the managers attention we were then greeted by our sever with "are yall good?" not with an apology from the server and not the best way to greet a table that has been waiting 20 mins to be greeted with water. Although the manager did apologies he said they will make it up to us by putting the waters on the house....lol. We are not the type to expect or ask for anything for free but we thought water was a silly thing to offer on the house. Besides the service being bad...the drinks were good, the calamari and guacamole tasted ok, the food was a hit or miss across our group. read more

Good place for a dinner before night out, it's very instagramy, with great decor. Servers are nice and friendly and they have live music and show which is good.

The aesthetic in here is so cute. There's def mirrors everywhere to take cute pics. For drinks we ordered the margarita and espresso martini. I didn't care for the espresso martini. I usually love them but the coffee itself was way too over powering. We got the empanadas for an app and they were so good and had so much flavor. For our meal we got the rib eye and another type of steak. Both were really good. The chimichurri sauce was so good and flavorful. We also got the papas which were decent. The service was great they had someone walking around playing music which was a nice touch to it. read more

We recently visited Mar y Sol for the first time. The space itself has hosted several restaurants over the years (including Abacus), so we were hopeful, but unfortunately the experience fell very short. We started with the patatas bravas, which were crispy but overwhelmingly salty. The shrimp patardo was a big disappointment: only about six very small shrimp, clearly overcooked, tough, and chewy. The octopus was also tough and lacked tenderness. For mains, we ordered the red snapper, which had very little flavor and again seemed overcooked. Dessert didn't redeem the meal either as the churros were rock hard and bland. Before coming here, we had already seen some lackluster reviews but decided to give it a chance since a friend wanted to try it. Unfortunately, the final straw came at the end of the meal when a tiny cockroach ran toward our table. That completely sealed it for us. Overall, this was a very disappointing experience, especially considering the high prices. The food quality did not match the cost, and with the cleanliness issue, this is not a place we would return to or recommend. read more

Fun place for birthdays, celebrations, and catching up with friends. Feels like you are walking into an adventure when you open the huge front door. It would be too loud for a group business dinner to be able to hear across the long table or for a cozy dinner conversation unless you sit on one of the outside seating areas. Drinks : our La Diabla cocktail with sparkling fire-lit wrap around was like a show as the server held it up and the Tiki cocktail adored with an orchid flower was sweet and good. More ice than alcohol was included. Food: warm fresh plantains served with a side of sauce was a nice nibble until our bowl of ceviche on smoldering dry ice smoke and beef empanadas arrived. The braised beef plate with roasted vegetables and blue corn tortillas was a hearty portion that the two of us had plenty to take home for lunch. The creme brulee served in a halved fresh pineapple adorned with a purple orchid was big enough for two. Ambiance: unique architectural arch of branches as you walk inside. Comfy chairs and pretty decor like you are outside in a cozy porch but inside. We had 5 pm Tuesday reservations and glad because the music was loud like club music overhead but we could still hear before the restaurant filled up after 6:30 pm. Service: excellent knowledge of the foods to recommend, attentive, and proactively checked in with us often, including the manager Valet parking only. We will come back again. read more

I had such a great time here. There was no wait but I do suggest getting a reservation. My friend and I only got the beef empanadas and some type of cheese dip. Our drinks were very entertaining as well as delicious. Would I get it again? No. There are so many other things to try out. Our server was very sweet. I definitely will be back for either a double date or a date, this is more of an expensive restaurant. There were a lot of people who couldn't find the door to the restaurant or the hostess because it's hidden, but I think that a sign or something or someone standing there would be very helpful. I will be back to give a further review on food some day in the future! read more

No! This is not the place on TikTok that charges a "prep fee" or "margarita shake fee." And just in case management doesn't make it through this long-ass review, MAX is amazing! Max is AWESOME! Anyone who has taken the quickest glance at my reviews knows I'm a New York woman. To me, Dallas is brown, hot, and flat; I only found myself here because of a business conference. But my meal at Mar Y Sol helped pull me away from all that and made me feel like I was in a metropolitan, cultured spot, maybe even in Latin America or Mexico. The inside portion is what you read about being so "instagrammable," but I was happy to sit on the shaded outside patio. There were ceiling fans and shades to keep things cool. I really enjoyed the alfresco feel. I skipped over appetizers and shareables (which includes multiple types of ceviche, empanadas, croquettes, shrimp, crab, arepas, and more). While there were many attractive entree options, including street tacos (short rib, de pollo, shrimp, mushroom), various iterations of steak (bone in prime filet, beef tenderloin, loco salted--beef tips, ribeye, wood fired picana steak). They also had fish--chilean sea bass, wood fired red snapper, pescado Frito, shrimp tallarine, banana leaf wrapped salmon. Sides: charred carrots, chiles toreados, esquites, crispy chimichurri potatoes, grilled broccolini, roasted mushrooms. I had the extravagant parillada Argentina, which is a 128 dollar dish composed of flame roasted sirloin, filet, sausage, and chicken, served with a trio of sauces and fluffy blue corn tortillas. WAAAAAAY too much for one person, but I don't regret trying it. Would be great to share with a guest. The cocktails are inventive and delicious. I had the Mandarina spa (Bombay sapphire, st. Germain, fresh pressed mandarin, lemon, honey, basil); el sabio (tres generasicones anejo, genepi, black pepper cord, dark cocoa bitters, palo Santo); and la diabla (herradura silver, mango, Yerba mate, lime, agave, aji Amarillo salt, served with a cool fire trick). They ranged from refreshing and delightful to wonderful, smoky sippers. For dessert, at the recommendation of the server, I had the chocolate cake, which was rich and decadent. After dessert, I had a few shots of pricey clase Azul, so savory and decadent, chased with orange slices. Had such a great experience here. MAX! My server, MAX, was amazing. He deserves all the flowers. read more

The ambiance of this restaurant is amazing as well as the service we received from our waitress and valet but it stops there. The table we were sat at was extremely small and it was hard to hear the person across from you due to the loud music. Additionally, there's only about 6 inches of space in between tables so it makes for a hard entry/exit. The primary issue is the food... it just wasn't good and I left hungry. The highlight was the guacamole molcajeteada. It tasted freshly made and had chips/plantain to accompany it. We ordered king crab causa and mushroom empanadas to share but they both fell short. The causa (cold dish) was extremely salty and empanadas were tasty with the chimichurri sauce dipped but eaten alone it resembled a hot pocket. I ordered the pollo a la brasa and it missed the mark. It didn't arrive as described on the menu (missing sugar snap peas) but had a bed of slaw covering the entire plate. The crispy potatoes were the only nice part along with my side of chimichurri sauce ($2 for small container) to pair with it. We ended with a desert of pina colada crème brûlée and it was awful. There was a bitter aftertaste and the custard wasn't set. My friend and I decided we won't go back due to this bad experience. read more

Excellent. Great food, lovely ambiance, and superb service. Highly recommend you make reservations because the place was packed the whole night. We shrimp petardo, polla a la brasa, and shrimp tallarine. All were very good. The petardo was very lightly fried shrimp with a burst of complex flavors. The chicken was very smoky and is a large portion. The tallarine was shrimp pasta with a spicy kick. Hard to go wrong here. It's pricey but worth it. We finished with the churros--freshly made, crunchy on the outside and very soft on the middYou'll likely spend ~$200-250 for two. read more

We were insta-influenced but it didn't suck! Solid 8/10! Obviously it is beautiful inside and out! The whole vibe makes you feel like you should be in Cabo! The service was all very intentional which bumped my score up from a 7.5 to an 8! They walk you to the restroom, clear plates regularly, ensure they aren't speaking to their tables next to/over each other. It's really nice. The food I think speaks for itself! It is Peruvian so to all the Texans, don't think Tex Mex.... Fresh flavors, fabulous fish, exciting plating. Definitely a fun date or double date night spot! read more

I had their potatoes and steak with sauce and a side of pepper sauce. It was good with the pepper sauce mixed in.

I was so excited to go to this restaurant because it is new and beautiful and Latin! I will say the service was great, and the interiors are stunning, especially the entrance! I do wish restaurant owners would insist on more sound deadening elements... this restaurant was so loud you couldn't have a great conversation across the table. A little felt lining the ceiling or some foam to absorb sound would help a lot as well as taking the music down about 3 levels.. background music is so much more pleasant than feeling like you're having dinner in the middle of a night club! For dinner we started with the Tuna Tiradito which was AMAZING! We also had chips and Guacamole ... honestly it wasn't my favorite Guacamole ... I found it very bland and for some reason everyone seemed very resistant to bringing us salsa! Next up we shared the Chicken Tacos, which were good but a little sweet for me. We also shared the Wood Fired Red Snapper... this was delicious but know it is the WHOLE fish so you get bones and skin, 2 things I'm not a fan of! The sauces that go on this dish are ridiculously good though! Our cocktails tonite were the Hibiscus - Dragon fruit margarita, very good! The Mar y Sol Margarita which comes with a cool orange "whip" on top. I found it tasty! My second cocktail was the La Diabla... such a show to see it arrive! Surrounded in steel wool and on fire!! Overall I'd say it was good but until I can go to dinner and have a conversation I probably won't be back.. read more

This was a gorgeous restaurants, very aesthetically pleasing. You feel like you're having dinner on the beach in Tulum here. We were seated on the patio which was very warm until the sun went down. The servers were very knowledgable and walked us through the menu. We got the patatas Bravas, pulpo (octopus), queso to start. The potatoes were great, you can't go wrong with potatoes. The pulpo was good but pricey at $25-29 for a single tentacle. The got the lechon fried rice to split, which included a table side service where they mix the egg into the rice. This was a little salty for my taste and would be impossible to eat as a standalone dish. The cocktails were all great and had beautiful presentations. Overall this is a great spot for a date, or a group dinner. I would recommend splitting things family style here, some of the dish portions are very large and some are small. Edit: I changed my rating due to seeing an article about Mar Y Sol adding additional fees to cocktails, I went back to check our group receipt and sure enough there were multiple charges under cocktails including an additional $4.50 charge on a $17 pour of Angels Envy. This was not explained to us or pointed out by the waiter. This is still a great restaurant and I would come back but I also think transparency is the to a good relationship with your guest. read more

To start, the ambiance was on point. If I was stopping by for a drink during the evening easy 4-5 stars. The food and dining is where I feel like it took a turn. Dallas is tough competition and good service really goes far. We had to ask for water refills and then only got one water glass at the table refilled. Apps and entrees were dropped at the same time. Now $24 for three tacos that were fairly basic, I am going to have some super high standards for the rest of the service. Would love to see how dinner here is in a couple of months when the initial rush has quieted a bit. Hopefully I can update this to five stars! read more

I am a little torn between 3 stars and 4 as 3.5 would be perfect. Ambiance - awesome! You feel transported into a different place and it's a nice escape from the Dallas life. Service - This is were things started off great, maybe too great where they were very attentive to where it became difficult to have a conversation without interruption. We did note that they were not too busy at that point. However, as time went on, and folks started to come in (never got packed though), service started to drop. Having drinks come out took well too long in my opinion (especially when it was fairly empty). We ordered the Cantarito (which serves 4-6) and felt like it took 45 minutes to receive. Definitely unusually long for a drink. At that, the gentleman actually took the cart to the wrong table to we missed out on the presentation of it with the smoke and all. Overall service declined as the evening went on. We refilled our own drinks (after them mentioning they would do it) and we were out of water and never refilled at the end. Food - overall, decent. We ordered a variety of items: - blue eye tuna ceviche - solid. this isn't something that you will rave about to your friends for being exceptional, but it was good - queso fundido with chorizo - sounded much more appetizing as the description in the menu than what was provided. This was definitely a disappointment - pulpo - probably the best item of the night and also a solid choice - sea bass - the fish itself was cooked great, however, the quinoa was pretty salty. The sauce with the fish was tasty but not enough - creme brulee - presentation on point and dessert itself was fairly decent. It could use a little more of the hardened caramelized sugar to add that crunch. - seis leches - this was okay and not one I would rave about as I have with other versions of tres leches (cuatro leches at the Mexican or cinco leches at Mesero are easily much better). Overall, the place is a vibe and the atmosphere is worth checking out. Note it will get a little loud as the evening goes on. Food wise, for what was spent, I would expect better. Service, unfortunately declined as the evening went on. Also, sadly nothing done for birthdays as it was repeated several times we had a birthday in the party but it was never acknowledged nor was any treat provided as with many places. Even the valet was unavailable when I arrived and after waiting 7 or so minutes in my vehicle, I just parked my car myself. read more

We had a great evening that turned to crap because the chef precooked my steak twice and still couldn't get it right, but the manager (Ariel) really save our visit and meal for us. Firstly, we had a reservation andwere seated immediately when we arrived. Our waitress Dalia M. came over immediately to explain the menu, specials, and to take our drink orders. Our appetizer the steak and mushrooms came over within minutes and tasted awesome. The flavor of the radishes, and other ingredients in the rice was very good. For an entrée my wife had the Salmon and she really enjoyed enjoyed the cook and the flavor of the salmon. My entrée was the wood fired picana steak cooked medium, and it came as if the cow was still walking around and no were near a medium. The waitress talked to the mgr and they agree to have the steak reworked as I requested and were going to comp our dessert. When the steak returned the cow was still looking me in the face and saying what up now homie. I was upset and so was the manager who took the steak back and had a new entrée cooked as I requested. She did a great job and it really meant alot to my wife and I. She comped the meal and the dessert for our troubles. The final steak she delivered was awesome and with a great flavor. The pistachio terimasu for dessert was pure heaven and tasted awesome. We were there for over two hours, but the manager and waitress really did their best to ensure we had a good new years eve dinner. We plan to visit again and hopefully have a little better experience. read more
