The chips and salsa were wonderful! The chips are light, thin and fresh. The salsa was a thin base with a perfect balance of flavors. We ordered a small side of chunky guacamole. The avocados were fresh but the dip needed a little more kick. This restaurant has Pepsi products and we are Coke fans so just a heads up. The house margarita was okay again premade mix that just didn't taste exciting. The decor is fun, colorful and makes you feel like you are in an outdoor party. The staff were efficient and friendly. The menu is huge and has something for everyone. read more

This was our first time here. The ambiance was nice with lights and all kinds of things hanging from the ceiling. Staff was friendly. They got my order wrong but quickly corrected it. The tacos were not that good to me. They were not bad but for my taste, they are what I like. I had chicken tacos and beef tacos. My wife had steak fajitas. Those were pretty good. Overall, I won't return because it's not the right taste for me. Others may like it but for me, I've had much better. read more

It was decent but service was not good at all. The place looked a little bit dirty and wife tried to order a Sprite with some mint in it. They charged her $11 for a mojito without alcohol. read more

Really fresh ingredients Amazing chips and salsa Good queso Prices are a bit much for Mexican but the quality is there so I don't mind paying Homemade tortillas were hot and fresh Steak was real rib eye and not sliced beef But was a bit dry and unseasoned The grilled peppers, onions and tomatoes made up for it. Good rice and beans, great guacamole. read more

Sol Azteca Mexican Restaurant - Steak Special - Mexican Near Me - Vestavia Hills, Alabama

Visiting Alabama for the next couple days attending this weekend's NASCAR race. Stopped in at Sol Azteca for lunch and enjoyed a couple of margaritas, the pork Azteca burrito and taco with refried beans and chili relleno plate. Everything was hot, fresh and delicious. The server was friendly, quick and always making sure we were enjoying our lunch. The restaurant was decorated for Halloween and festive. This was an overall great lunch experience. This restaurant has lunch specials Monday-Saturday which was a pleasant surprise. read more

Food is great, service so friendly attentive. This is our favorite Mexican restaurant in the area.

I love this place. Wife and I are Kentucky transplants and have searched awhile in the Vestavia Hills/Hoover area for our newest Mexican food go to. This place has filled that void in our hearts well!! The manager and staff are so kind, attentive and very active in serving customers. The food is great quality. There's regularly live music. The ambience inside is great, with the lively Mexican decor! read more

The service here is unmatched. The servers were very attentive and really caring. The food is goo! Especially the chips and salsa and guacamole. The fajitas were delicious and so fresh! read more

Consistently good tasting food with great customer service! The chicken soup is so delicious!

Came her on a Friday night and it was packed! I don't know what was going on because other patrons said it's not normally like that. The customer service was good for them to be as busy as they were. I got the #25 which includes a beef burrito and a beef enchilada. The enchilada was ok, but the beef burrito was very good. My daughter got the kids soft taco meal with rice and fries. After I scrapped the cheese off it she enjoyed it with salsa ( I totally forgot to order it with no cheese). My sister had the fried tilapia with fries. I tasted it and it was pretty good, but I'm just not a fan of fish with bones in it. We will definitely be back. read more

What a great place the decorations makes it feel like Mexico. The food is fantastic and the service is also. I have been there a couple of times now and it was awesome both times. I love Mexican food and have eaten at several places all over ham, this is by far the best. read more

Most of our food was cold and part of the order was missing. They didn't want to refund the missing food, but give it to us next time we come in. Honestly, that is off putting and I'm not sure we will go back anytime soon. read more

Great service! We had a table of 12 and were able to get orders taken and drinks/food given very quickly. They have been decked out for Christmas since right after Halloween and their decorations are beautiful. Make sure to ask for all of the margarita flavors since the only ones on the printed menu are strawberry and lime! read more

Sol Azteca Mexican Restaurant - Small Blackberry Margarita - Mexican Near Me - Vestavia Hills, Alabama

Visited on a recent trip to Birmingham, and we thought it was great! There was a bit of a wait since we visited on a Saturday night around 7pm, but we were seated soon enough. They had a band there (not really mariachi, but along those lines) and the whole place was alight with fairy lights making it a very festive atmosphere. Salsa and cheese dip were top notch! I ordered the Pork Carnitas and found them delicious! Large portions, too. I would definitely return. read more

Great mole! Food fantastic but very bland decorations. Just white walls and boring, said no one ever! The staff have the same outgoing personalities as the food and decor. Highly recommend! read more

The service was good. The salsa was really good. The food for all five of us was some of the worst Mexican food I've had in many many years. The meat (chicken and beef) was very cheap. None of us finished our meal. read more

Had a good meal and service one week, and then tonight I'm charged for 3 queso dips$18.50 (we ordered one and they mistakenly brought three and left them) then a small side of grilled chicken for $12.00. then waiter proceeds to blame the other waiter helping for the extra cheese dip. I'm done with Sol Azteca read more

Awful food and terribly rude staff. One of the staff members cursed at my family because we requested more salsa. Bathroom was awful and place was not clean. It was packed and we had to wait 2 hours for food. read more

Sol Azteca off of Montgomery Hwy. is my favorite Mexican restaurant! It's decorated with plants and vines, and it reminds me of a Rainforest Cafe. I love their variety of vegetarian options, including a pretty thorough vegetarian combo menu. My favorite thing to get is a combo with a bean burrito, bean tostada, and a cheese quesadilla. I love getting their strawberry margarita pitchers with my friends too! Their pricing is incredibly fair, even the margaritas. The staff is always super friendly as well, and they sometimes have live music. The atmosphere is great, and you can tell everyone there is having a great time! read more

We love this place! Food is always consistently delicious and fresh! The owners are outstanding, hard working people and fixtures in the community. My kids love the fun decorations and live music! The staff seems to have a lot of fun working there and it's always a full house! Try the Burrito California or the Tacos Al Pastor! read more

I rarely comment on prices in any restaurant but I can't hold back this time. Ordered a Combination Dinner for $10.50. Three items. Very fair, if not economical price for an entree. I ask how much for a side of beans & rice. The gal didn't know saying she'd ask. $7 for a side of beans and rice with a meal!! Wow! That's just unreasonable, IMO. read more

Service was excellent, food was a 5/10 I got the green chicken enchiladas with a Mexican coke. Their spicy salsa is good! read more

Ordered lunch special #3, it was $11. came to pick it up 10 mins after I called. Food was cold, taco was soggy and fell apart. The food had a strange perfume taste as well. Definitely disappointed. Theres way better mexican food on Lorna. read more

We had lunch there. I was disappointed. It was not as good as it used to be. Prices are still same amount but portions are much smaller and food just looks different. Had chicken chimichanga and fajitas. Both were just ok. Steak, peppers and onions did not come on a hot skillet. Instead, it looked like they were stewed in a crock-pot and just placed on my plate. Steak tasted a little like a refrigerator. Got charged $1.50 for a small scoop of pico. Waitress didn't ask if I wanted it to pay extra and wasn't noted on menu. My dining companion did not enjoy her chimichanga. Was not fried like it used to be and was soggy. Cheese dip and chips were good, but probably won't go back. There are too many other Mexican restaurants to choose from. read more

Hands down the worst service I've ever experienced. We ordered our food and 50 minutes later, we found out that they haven't even started cooking our order because there was a "large" party. The table that walked in right before us was eating their food happily. The server's excuse was that a "big" party ordered right before us. Turns out that they all had plates and food in front of them. The waitress took forever to take our order and I bet she forgot to submit our order. She didn't even own up to making a mistake. Avoid this place like the plague. You'll starve if you're not a regular customer. The server still decided to charge us for the queso and drinks we ordered. I hope they replace this restaurant with something that has better service that's fair to all customers. read more

This place is definitely not consistent. The food is okay, nothing exceptional. Take out is a disaster, and when brought to their attention, they have no desire to make it right. DUST everywhere, it just really needs a thorough cleaning. Portions are extremely small on take out, compared to what they serve in person. After being loyal customers for over 20 years, we have given our last dime to this establishment. Too many other great places around. Needless to say we are disappointed! read more

I was impressed with every aspect of Sol Azteca! Very large menu with lunch and dinner specific areas. Too much to look over the whole thing as I was looking for a quick lunch (will return to go through the several pages of dinner menu). Friendly and quick service! Shortly after I was seated they were at the table with warm chips, and empty dish?????, and a container filled to the top with salsa.......let me just say I Love This! I don't have to ask for salsa refills. For those of us that go through salsa like it's water this is hands down the best idea. The lunch menu consists of very traditional lunch combo entrees. I went with the Tamale and Beef Taco with a side of rice. First the tamale. Corn shell was cooked perfect and topped with their specialty sauce (trust me on this one....mix some of the special sauce into the rice). Now I don't typically go for ground beef tacos, but today it sounded good. I have to say I was impressed! The beef seasoning was awesome! Taco tasted great and I would absolutely order one again. Reasonable prices and great tasting food! Very glad I gave these guys a shot today....I have another Mexican restaurant to add into the rotation. read more

I enjoy coming here. Great service and pretty good food. Very nice atmosphere with all the decor.

We recently moved and needed a new local Mexican restaurant... after trying this place twice in the past week, I think we have a winner! The staff has been beyond nice and helpful both times I came in to eat. The food was delicious! The taco salad is my favorite item right now... best shell I've ever had with a taco salad. They have a spacious dining area if you can sit in the bar area. TVs are available if you're wanting to watch your fav sports team. I will be back! read more

Great food, friendly service, and over the top effort on the decorating for Christmas time! read more

Secret Menu Item is the best thing that's ever been in my mouth. Yep. You heard it. Corn tortillas, chorizo, carnitas, Al pastor and cilantro has my belly begging for more. Excellent service and food. Also, the salsa was different than anything I've ever had, but in the best way. So fresh it makes me wanna steal the recipe from the back kitchen. Will be back to mark my territory again. read more

Worst Mexican spot I have tried in the Birmingham area! The menus literally says fried tortillas but the put chips on my plate. The water comes over and I ask why I was given chips when I ordered a plate with tortillas his exact response oh this is how they make it. so change the menu because that's not what I ordered and not what I want. He went away and brought back the tortillas ... the food in general is sub par the salsa is far from authentic and we will not be back ... the guacamole is also not good don't waste your money on that either. read more

The food is subpar at best. Everything tastes as if it came from low quality products served at a premium price for their satisfaction. The margs are extremely overpriced . They have very strange toxic green color like a swamp filled with algae. However, there's great news no limes were harmed in the making of the "lime" margaritas. Also, I really appreciate the respect they show for the community by blasting techno at 10:00am on a Sunday while racing cars (that have exhaust systems that sound guns firing pop rocks at brass instruments) up and down 31. read more
