So unimpressed by this place! My partner made a reservation on a Saturday night for a birthday dinner. When we arrived, we told them we had a reservation... they ignored that. We got seated but then just watched all the staff standing around talking. Someone finally brought us over some chips. After about 10-15 mins we asked an employee walking by if we could get some drinks. She sent the waiter over. He brought waters and we ordered drinks. The place was not busy tonight and there was lots of staff. To bad we couldn't get any service. I'm writing this as we are sitting here waiting forever for our food. Unless this food shows up so amazing we will not be back. I haven't eaten yet!! The food was good but nothing to bring me back. I tip for service! This was terrible service, the food was good but not good enough to bring me back! Jorge you could have been a better waiter. We tip for service. Maybe look for a job that doesn't require your tips for income! On a side note the live music could be better! read more

Not sure how we came across this place but I know we were looking for some authentic Mexican. We came in on a week night and it wasn't very busy. The service was slow and there was a language barrier with our server. Menu items were overpriced for what we got. read more

An absolutely wonderful experience. From the exterior, interior, hostess(Genesis), AMAZING!!!! I had the ham croquettes, beef empanadas and chicken nachos- so delicious! Thank you! I will be back! read more

The ambiance is giving sexy bougie vibes. They have an extension drink menu and a very different food menu. They serve tacos, chicken wings, hamburger & salmon. The service was great. It was empty when I arrived at 5:15ish, but picked up, when I left about 8:30ish they had a crowd. This place is pricey and they do not have a happy hour nor any taco Tuesday specials. I would definitely go here again for drinks and appetizers! read more

Pésima experiencia. Esperamos dos horas por la comida y nunca llegó. La atención fue mala y nadie dio una explicación ni mostró interés en resolver la situación.Tuvimos que irnos sin comer. Total falta de respeto al cliente. No lo recomiendo. Terrible experience. We waited two hours for our food and it never arrived. The service was poor, and no one offered an explanation or showed any effort to fix the situation.We had to leave without eating. A complete lack of respect for customers. I do not recommend it. read more

Definitely not the best Mexican spot but still very good regardless. I have weird memories here though.

Well well, I used to go to this place often. I haven't been a few years. Called in to ask a few question the woman who answered the phone argued that nacho cheese and queso like white Mexican queso were the same thing. She hung up on me. I called a few times but no answer. Assuming the reason is "lost connection". read more

My wife, daughter and I, along with my nephew, his wife and 2 children (less than 2 years old) had a pleasurable evening until the check arrived. We had the checks prepared along family lines (2 separate) only to discover that a 20% gratuity had automatically been added to each of our bills. Apparently parties of 6 or more get this add on, automatically. Not sure if this was spelled out on the menu or not, I'm guessing not. Note that the 6th and 7th parties at the table were less than 2 years old. To top it off, they had the audacity of charging us sales tax on the gratuity. The waiter said I'd have to wait for at least a half hour to speak with the owner, so I reluctantly paid the bill and left. Since when is it legal to charge sales tax on a gratuity??? Needless to say, I will never return to this establishment! read more

One of my go-to spots. Food is solid overall, good variety of Mexican dishes and a (somewhat recently added) smattering of Cuban dishes as well. Carnitas are my test of any Mexican restaurant (hard to get that beautiful, seared, crisp exterior with the tender, juicy interior), and they hit the mark more often than not...though I recommend the carnitas burrito for a true treat. Cuban pork steak is another favorite (see the photo). And I'd be remiss not to give due praise to the margaritas...great variety, all delicious (Texas is my personal favorite). Service is four stars plus unto itself. Everyone is welcoming, friendly, and helpful. Go there a few times, and every time you go after will be like dropping in to see family. The space is nice, not overly upscale but nice. It can get a little loud when there's live music. And the back patio is a nice little oasis. read more

Staff is friendly but slow. Prices are very steep. Food is mediocre and you have to choose between rice or beans. Not worth the money what so ever. read more

Came to the front counter and was ignored for 15 min but multiple workers. After being seated it took another 30 min for a worker to come by and take a drink order. After that the waitress stopped by only to refill drinks before rushing off. Music was good, couldn't tell you how the food was since the service was so horrible. read more

First time to this restaurant and the menu looked great. After the chips and salsa were delivered and waters poured we were completely ignored and forgotten about. Staff walked by but never made an effort to stop and take our food order. After twenty-five minutes of no service, we left. Very disappointed as I mentioned the menu looked tasty. My Cuban wife and I left very unhappy (and hungry) as she did not get to dine at what we thought was a nice neighborhood restaurant. Why be in the restaurant business if attentive service will not be offered? Will not be back. read more

Overall great experience. The band played really nice. Service was fast. Our waiter was on top of everything. Food is among my top favorites. I loved the steak asada very seasoned and juicy. The rice as well is very authentic and delicious . Thank you for making my birthday night special I definitely recommend this place read more

Never had a bad meal. Good service and fair prices. It can get a little loud when bands are playing.

A very cute restaurant that's a hole in the wall, but really fun vibe! Outdoor seating, but spacious inside and a very modern looking bar. I didn't order alcohol, but my friend got a flight of margaritas and the presentation was outstanding (and super tasty!) I did order the carne asada and was slightly underwhelmed with the meat-- unsure if it was the cut or what, but it wasn't my favorite. However the rest of the meal, including our guacamole, was incredible! And our service was top notch! I'd like to go back and try another dish with chicken and compare, but overall a great place to try! read more

We'd like to thank Dayana, one of the waitresses who served us, for the excellent service she provided during our visit to the restaurant. Her kindness, helpfulness, and attention to detail made our experience very pleasant; the food was also 10/10. Thank you so much! read more

Very disappointed, saw on Instagram Sol Aztecas was celebrating National Margarita Day with specials all day. When I got there ask for the specials heard there were none. Why advertise if not offering specials?! What a rip off?! The food was great! The restaurant was extremely loud but expected on a Saturday night. The music was great too. read more

Our server was very sweet and did a good job. They had the front door open which resulted in flies trying to land on our food the whole time we were there. Ordered a queso fundido with steak ($17) thinking it would be a plate of melted cheese with small pieces of steak in the center. Nope - it was a pile of fajita veggies with some steak added covered in cheese which was only quasi melted. They advertised live music which was great; the only problem was they kept the house music on even after we pointed it out. (Server said she told the manager, but nothing was done) Final note on the main courses - really nothing worth going out to a restaurant for. It was... o k ? read more

The margaritas a strong and BIG. The large is plenty to share and the medium is plenty for one. Salsa has a few options and the hot was good, but still mild. The beef is cooked with onions and peppers, so it's a bit different than most places. I'm personally not a fan but several of my dinner mates loved it. The Silyva's platter is rice, cheese, chicken and shrimp. While I always love this combo (not the healthiest but so GOOD) theirs was really good with the shrimp. The food is good, drinks are great, a variety of salsas- it checks all the Mexican boxes. While it was all good there are several Mexican places closer to me- but I'll be back for the band on Saturday's and if you live close by well worth the visit! read more

Went out with a group of colleagues and we all enjoyed ourselves. Food was great, they offer large portions ... menu had a wide variety of items (even vegetarian menu items). There is a large covered outdoor eating area. Live music on the inside. It's a great place for family and friends. The service and was and the drinks were excellent read more

Ordered DoorDash from this place. My meal was not correct- they gave me someone else's meal completely. Beans and rice were bland. Queso was good but nothing special. The only reason I didn't mark less stars was because the carne asada that my husband ordered was good. However? I wouldn't order again. Nothing spectacular. read more

This location is in the Highlands/Louisville Kentucky. I went here on Mother's Day a place. I've never been here before ...I have to admit the food was absolutely delicious. I got the chicken breast with Jack/pineapple/black beans/plantains. It's right under the fajitas, the service was exemplary. We never had to wait for anything and the food was absolutely delicious. I rarely give a five star review but I found not one thing went wrong. A wonderful Mother's Day lunch so I have to give credit to my son. We all had a great time the chicken was tender the plantains delightful everything had robust flavor and was wonderful. If you're in the Highlands copy this address and stop by for lunch or dinner I highly highly recommend it. There is parking in the back or park across the street at Kroger's. that's just my opinion. Bravo to this restaurant, wonderful read more

Parking is not the best, but food was great, went to a family member birthday and it was great. The service was on great and they were very friendly. Only think that you may want to be shure is that if you sit by the live miusic, may be a bit complicate to move around but other than that the aria is clean and nice. Will definitely recoment this location. read more

I have a new found love for Mexican shrimp cocktail. This spot has great shrimp cocktail for a bargain. You get huge shrimp in a tasty bowl of fresh avocado, tomato, onion, cocktail sauce mixture and the flavors are amazing. It pairs perfectly with tortilla chips and a big draft beer. Since indoor dining has been on and off in 2020, they created a nice little patio space in front too. All of the tables have umbrellas and you can scan a code to view the menu on your phone. This location is directly across for Highlands Kroger on Bardstown Rd. The service is top-notch and beer ice cold! read more

We waited over an hour for our food to arrive and almost every order was wrong. Food was bland and not tasty at all. The restroom was disgusting too. read more

This was an order from Postmates for pick up. We were able to easily place our order using the online service and it was awesome that our food actually got completed much quicker than anticipated. They have a plexiglass installed at the entryway of the restaurant, and hand sanitizer available as you walk in. However, we had some issues picking up the order because we were waiting in the lobby for sometime to get our order and talk to someone. This actually took longer than the preparation time for our order. When we finally got our food we brought it home. The food was delicious. I don't remember the last time I've had a Vegetarian Combo A where the best part of it has been the tostada. But in this case it was. They use a mix of lettuce that's not iceberg which is very refreshing to see. It was a delicious meal that made up for the minor hiccup. read more

I was hesitant to try this place because of the low ratings. I wanted a margarita and my husband pointed out how close it was. Believe the low rating and stat away. The servers were nice, the margarita was large, the food was tasty. Yet we're both Incredibly sick. I'm in pain from food. The only thing we both had was the queso. I might not eat queso for awhile.... Please save yourself. read more

We got asked to join the family for dinner and they said they're going to Sol Aztecas. We had never been, so of course that's a yes! From the reviews on here (three star average), I just assumed a regular ole Mexican place. I learned that the place got new ownership in the last two years and recently changed things within that two year period... maybe a review of their rating by Yelp is warranted? While the menu wasn't too different, they did have some unique offerings. But upon walking in, you could see that it was a little different. The tables and chairs were all different than what you'd expect at competing restaurants and then they had nice glasses ready at each table and it just had the feel of an upscale establishment. When we sat down and looked at the menu, I'd say the prices probably reflected the upscale look a bit, but it was by no means outrageous, just a little pricier. The chips and salsa were awesome... my wife specifically mentioned her love for the chips. For the entree, I had the Quesadilla Al Pastor as that's a twist on a quesadilla that I've never had.... And now I ask "WHY DOESNT EVERY MEXICAN RESTAURANT HAVE THIS!?" Holy hell it was delicious. I can't wait to go back. read more

One of the best Mexican food I have had in a while ! Amazing service too. Definitely coming back again

I wish I could leave a better review for this place, but every single time I have eaten here, without fail, the service is just too slow. I work in a restaurant, I get it, but even when they're not busy, you'll be sitting there with an empty drink for 20 minutes before someone will go check on you. Never sure on who my server is, they never introduce themselves, and typically theres at least 2-3 different people that will come over to your table to check on you. Today, I sat outside and after ordering, it took about 15-20 minutes to get the food, perfectly reasonable. Before I can take a bite of my food, another server pops outside to ask how it is, and then no one checked on us for a solid 20-30 minutes, despite checking on others outside while my drink was sitting empty. My original server never came back to see us, and we ended up having to go inside to get our check and our dessert to go because we had been there for an hour and a half and had places to be. Not sure who our tip went to‍ we left it at the counter with our receipt. My experiences here have consistently been like this, and I keep coming back in the hopes that the staff will get better, we tip well despite the poor service and hoped that would help, but clearly that is just not going to solve things. The food is really good, but nothing you can't find at another mexican restaurant. I don't recommend going here unless you're ready to be very patient for no good reason. If anything, I will only order pick-up and double-check all my food before leaving. read more

This restaurant is phenomenal. Not only did I receive excellent and fast service. I also enjoyed high quality, wonderful tasting mexican cuisine. I ordered a Chicken Fajita Burrito which was to DIE for. The chicken was moist and well flavored and the vegetables were sautéed to perfection. Their plating was also exquisite. My partner ordered the Chori Pollo, his go to at Mexican restaurants, and ranted about how good it was. And devoured it too fast for me to get a picture. We will be coming here regularly from now on. I love Sol Aztecas and can't wait to be back read more

Delicious! My family stopped in for a late lunch today, right before 3p so we still caught the lunch menu. The restaurant was quiet and we were greeted and seated right away. On the menu for us .. 2 tacos with ground beef, the burrito and taco meal, and the chicken fajitas. Everything was fantastic and even my kids cleared their plates! We also finished off an order of queso. Loved the chips and it's worth noting that the hard taco shells were sturdy. So often when you get a taco, the shell gets super soggy and crumbles. Our server was very attentive and kept our drinks filled and plates cleared away. If we asked for anything extra, she brought it right away. Great spot to visit for a Mexican craving! read more

I ordered a taco salad with chicken as it comes. When it came out with no sour cream or guacamole as listed in the menu, I politely informed our server that it was incorrect. The manager then came over and yelled at my fiancé and I that I could have one or the other on the side. I had to read him the menu for them to correct it. On top of that, the lettuce in the salad was mixed greens rather than iceberg lettuce which was very odd. The entire staff was more concerned with filming their commercial and taking photographs than the food or the service. Unfortunately, we will not be back. read more
