Drinks arrived 20 minutes after ordering, in a restaurant with few customers. chips and salsas were good. Grilled chicken burrito was filled with watery black beans in a tortilla that was limply folded around the contents. barely any chicken and tiny bits of cheese. Side option was more of the same beans and bland rice. Lukewarm and tasteless. Margarita was good although I was charged for adding a serrano chile to the mix. Not worth the $45 read more

Ximena made sure we had the experience of the lifetime! Everything she recommended was delicious and we loved the vibe, can't recommend her/this place enough. read more

I came down Sol after work to grab a quick quick bite on taco Tuesday! It did not disappoint. The shrimp were probably the best shrimp I ever had. The happy hour menu is perfect. Mike was my server. He did a fantastic job. I will definitely be back. read more

SOL Mexican Cocina - Bars Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Let's taco 'bout Taco Tuesday. Sol is a modern/elevated take on Mexican cuisine, and it's absolutely priced as such. Personally, I found the pricing to be outrageously high for the size of the food/subpar ambience, but if you are seeking a duck confit taco this may be your only chance. Their Taco Tuesday is a much more fair deal. On the regular, one taco is between $10 and $20. On Tuesday you can get two standard street tacos for $8. Note that the Tuesday deal is limited to their basic tacos (chicken, fish, carnitas, or black bean/sweet potato). You can also get a house marg for $8 and other discounted apps and drinks. I'd say the deal is worth it. *Chips & Salsa: came as a complementary opening to the meal and was a massive disappointment. The chips were oily and lacked in any flavor. It came paired with a spicy salsa and a mole. They were both okay. *Black Bean & Sweet Potato Tacos: these were probably the best veggie based tacos I've ever had. Sweet potatoes have the tendency to plague tacos with dryness, but these were fire. *Fish Tacos: I was told these were fine but nothing to write home about. *Watermelon Marg: a great freshness. I believe there is actual watermelon muddled at the bottom so it was definitely elevated compared to a mix. A spicy hot sauce also gets served to the table which we were huge fans of! I'd come back for taco Tuesday, but it disappoints me that there are so many great looking tacos on their regular menu that I can't justify price wise. Three specialty tacos shouldn't be in the $30-50 price range, EVER! On top of that, the chips at the beginning really had me worried for how everything else was gonna be. Overall: -Good tacos worth the Taco Tuesday price -Good margs -Good service, we were served attentively -Bad chips/salsa -Terrifying prices outside of Tuesday Might try out the specialty tacos for an extra special (and I mean EXTRA special) occasion for those prices. Also, there was a live musician there but he had to have been on break for the entire time we were seated bc we sat in silence for the entire meal unfortunately. read more

The expansive menu, hospitality, and stylish restaurant makes SOL a good choice for a casual meal or group dining. We ordered the Fajitas and Chicken Quesadillas to share. Both items were delicious with generous portions. Watch out for the chips and salsa... it has a wonderful kick to it! read more

SOL is one of my favorite restaurants in Denver! Mainly due to the ribeye quesabirria torta and our favorite server Thomas. He always provides the best service and keeps us laughing every time he checks in with us. The atmosphere is very calming and they have live music on the weekends sometimes. This is a must stop restaurant if you are in the Cherry creek area and make sure to ask for Thomas. read more

SOL is amazing. If you're looking for excellent food and a great atmosphere this is your stop. Thomas is amazing and the new management is phenomenal! This is my go to in Cherry creek!!! read more

Food was sub par at best... I had high hopes, but the quality of ingredients was poor and reminded me of something from a mall's food court. The kids chicken quesadilla had giant chunks of chicken with the fat still attached and barely any cheese. My kids wouldn't even touch it. Fajitas didn't come with sour cream or cheese to put on them, the fish taco was drenched in some mayonnaise sauce, almost like a very cheap tuna salad. Sadly it was inedible and we ended up having to throw away 3/4's of our $100 meal. I gave them a few stars for presentation, otherwise would not recommend. read more

Our waitress Korina was excellent!! We will definitely be back. We had the fajitas and the quesadilla. Both good but quesadillas were a little better read more

Our party of 6 had a poor experience at dinner. When we entered they told us it was National Taco Day and house margaritas were $2.00 if you ordered a taco. Our waiter was not aware, he checked and said yes that was correct. We ordered dinner (and the food was fine) and 5 house margaritas. They had no tequila that we could taste and they came after dinner arrived but not a huge problem. Not expecting a real drink for $2.00. The restaurant website pushes this InKind app to download, you get $25 discount off your first meal and reward points. When the bill came my daughter paid with this app but we soon noticed they charged us $13 for the drinks instead of $2. Mistakes happen but we needed to correct for the $55 over charge. The manager Nathan came over and said he would try to reverse the charge but since this was a corporate program (paying with app) that my daughter should monitor her visa statement to make sure we did not get billed twice and if we did to call him back to try to fix. Then they re-charged her visa directly, not using the app, but would not honor the $25 discount on the first bill. He was quite argumentative with my daughter when she asked why he could not do that, he told us to call corporate and complain. She said why can't you do something with the bill to account for the $25. He made lots of excuses and seemed quite agitated when challenged. He rudely grabbed her card and took it to register and ultimately comped a single taco meal, less than $25 after a very uncomfortable confrontation. Wow, they screwed up the bill, told us we need to monitor statements for a double charge, made lots of excuses for why they could not help us and ultimately left us with a horrible impression. Totally unnecessary. Nathan could have done anything he wanted with the bill. He could have smiled, apologized for the issue and comped us a taco and margaritas to account for the $25. This is not a large amount of money and I am only writing this review because it was handled so poorly that they lost 6 customers and possibly more when our friends ask up about this establishment. It could have been a positive experience but management chose to make it confrontational and negative for no reason. UPDATE: We were double charged by the restaurant. They never reversed the charge their app applied so we were charged an additional $209.00. The manager said if this happened to contact corporate. That is pretty ridiculous to spend hours trying to reverse their multiple mistakes with "corporate". We were forced to dispute the double charge with Chase Bank. read more

went in to sol for lunch with one of my girlfriends, place had a very nice atmosphere. Our server, Adam, was very welcoming and on everything. Suggested the shrimp chile reillano and it was amazing!! read more

My group of nine, all from out of town, had just finished an early afternoon business meeting nearby, none of us had managed to get lunch beforehand, this place was just down the block from our hotel, and a friend had highly recommended it. That recommendation was dead on. Super-welcoming hostess, great food, great bargains (as Happy Hour had just started) and crucially, fabulous service from MIKE, who never even blinked when we kept hitting him with "can I get another taco and a margarita?" requests. If I lived in Denver I would probably find my way to SOL Mexican Cocina a lot! read more

It was a euphoric experience to visit a restaurant in the midst of the pandemic. My friend and I found metered parking in front of SOL. All the wait staff members were friendly while following the social distancing and face covering regulations. We were seated next to an open window, letting in light and fresh air. It was the perfect setup. We started with complimentary chips and salsa. What a fun approach to flavors and textures! We mostly came here for the margaritas, which my friend had before. There are so many different options, but we did two of the cucumber and jalapeno ones this time. Whew, super strong and tasty! Definitely coming back for more of those. After deliberating on tacos, my friend and I ended up getting quesadillas. I got Chipotle Garlic Shrimp, while my friend had Chicken. Hers was twice the size of mine, and neither of us could finish our food. The beans and rice were welcome sides, and the flavors were phenomenal. I love that SOL is right in the center of a shopping area, so you can park for a few hours and walk around on a daytime adventure. There's a bar in the middle of the restaurant, and I've heard their happy hour is fantastic. It's definitely my newest favorite spot in Denver! read more

We came here for a work lunch and had a reservation and we were seated promptly. Our server who was new was very sweet. There were a few things here and there that were forgotten but it was no big deal and she was def doing her best and was extremely kind. I ordered the short ribs which I thought lacked a lot of flavor. It was very tender but bland. The rice, beans, and sweet potatoes that came with it were all great. I do love how they start you off with salsa and some black bean dip. Seeing how the short ribs were $28 I probably won't be coming back here spending my own money. If work took me out here I'd give something else a try. read more

We came in for our first visit. Parking may be difficult to come by. Luckily we came an hour before closing, and found a parking spot a block away. The ambiance is really nice. The music playlist was awesome with a very chill vibe. Our server Danielle was very attentive and offered wonderful recommendations. We shared the featured Grilled Corn as an appetizer. Danielle cut the corn onto a plate at our table. This was a really nice performance piece by a server. The corn appetizer was delicious with an enjoyable spice. With a sprite and coke we also enjoyed our tostadas and salsa / bean dip. I enjoyed the goat cheese enchiladas with agave shrimp very much. $8 for four shrimp pieces seems a bit much for that add on. That meal became $28. I went with the rice and salad for my sides. The rice was good. I didn't care for the salad, but my wife enjoyed it. My wife also enjoyed the ceviche Sol. I was not impressed with the ceviche or the tostadas, compared to other Mexican restaurants that we have been to. I thought the menu was a bit overpriced. We still would give our experience 5 of 5 stars. I think it is good for a try. Not sure if we will ever come back. It's nice that it is open till 10pm in the Cherry Creek area. We spent $80 with the tip on a party of two. We did leave very happy and full. read more

A fun mexican restaurant in the heart of cherry creek. This place is huge. Lots of seating and perfect for large groups. We came with a group of 7 and felt like we barely took up any room at all. One take away was that even though the restaurant can hold a lot of people, they may not have the kitchen and bar staff to support the weekend evening crowds. The bar started getting backed up and the food didn't seem to have the attentive touch you might expect. Our service was great though! Our waitress was very communicative on the bar and food being a bit slow. Advised us to order drinks ahead of time and even stopped to take a picture of our group (despite being busy helping other tables). I'm a sucker for complimentary chips and salsa. Theirs are very interesting. It's a tostada with a tajin / sunflower rub. And then the salsa has a nice smoky, chipotle blend with a bit of kick. Needless to say, I ate a lot that. I love a good ceviche too. I'd rank this one slightly above average. It's very citrus forward and heavy on tomato. It doesn't come with its own tostadas, but you should already have them on the table. The complimentary ones pair well with the ceviche's flavor. It's a small portion but can be shared with 2 people as an appetizer. The chicken street tacos were good but this is where I started noticing the kitchen was getting rushed. They felt kinda slapped together and the meat was a bit dry. The salsa made up for that and I still liked them. The rice had an interesting sweet, cinnamon flavor. I would maybe go with another side next time. read more

One of the strangest dining experiences I've ever had. My girlfriend is Gluten Free and they brought over a GF menu. The waiter then went on to tell us that the menu is actually a lie and this "Mexican" restaurant puts soy sauce in all of its meats. Really bizarre experience and will not be returning. The apps we did eat were bland, cold and dry. read more

A couple girlfriends and I needed to catch up over a night of beer and tacos and this was our pick. I had never been and I have clearly been missing out. First let's start with the corn. I don't even like kernel corn but this was epic. So good that we ordered a second round. Between the sweet corn, creamy chipotle, lime and salty cheese this is an immediate winner. We also shared a firecracker quesadilla which I really liked the addition of the sriracha. The sweet potato and black bean tacos were also awesome and so well seasoned. Nothing bland with this veggie taco as other places have done. Our server was awesome and could not have been nicer or more attentive. In short I absolutely can't wait to come back. read more

Terrible experience. Made a reservation 2 weeks in advance and got told upon arrival it had gotten moved to 2 hours later. We got sat, waiter did not bring full order of drinks and 'forgot' to tell us the margarita machine was down, after 40 minutes. No silverware provided until requested and 2 meals were missing when food was delivered. Finally asked the waiter to comp multiple meals. read more

Jen at the bar was fantastic. First time here. Made me feel super welcome and has a great bitters soda recipe

Decent place, there was a mix up with who was supposed to serve our table. So that added 30 minutes before anyone even brought us water. When the server arrive she was sweet and attentive. Based off that experience I don't think I'll personally be back but this place is worth a try. read more

It took us forever to find the entrance door haha. It's so giant and looks like decoration! We waited about an hour for a table on a sat night. The place is huge! They gave us complementary chips and salsa at the bar while we waited which was nice! I got the carne asada steak enchiladas. It was delicious! Just the right portion, I was comfortably full. My friend got the chicken tortilla soup which I thought was ok. It was too spicy for him. Pretty pricey for what you get but it's cherry creek so it's expected! read more

Some friends and I made a reservation here for brunch. Once we arrived and were seated we were brought some very good chips and salsa, and then we waited for a long time without anything further. Eventually, we asked the host where our server was, and they apologized and said they didn't realize that the server who was "assigned" our table (next to the host stand) wasn't there. We were the only table in the entire restaurant that didn't have a server. A wonderful girl came and helped us, also providing the same apology, reiterating that the server assigned the table wasn't there. While this might be the case, as patrons, that reasoning and apology doesn't hold much weight with us. There was a guitar player/singer that was performing during brunch which was nice, however, the music didn't match the theme of the restaurant, which I thought would have been nice. I ordered coffee and the Crab & Shrimp Cakes 'Benedicto' - the coffee wasn't great, which is expected for a restaurant that doesn't specialize in coffee or brunch, the Benedict was almost good - I was a little disappointed that the poached eggs were overcooked, but the crab/shrimp cake was tasty on its own. I would return for dinner as that's where I bet SOL shines, not likely again for brunch. read more

Great Mexican food in Cherry Creek! Restaurant has a fun atmosphere, fully stocked bar and even live music some nights! Service was a little slow but order some drinks and enjoy the music.

Will definitely be back! read more

Came on a Sunday afternoon and had a delicious meal! We also had beautiful (and soft) live music, all the windows open and great service. When you come, you MUST get the goat cheese appetizer. Sweet and slightly spicy and all yummy. We also did the grilled sweet corn, cooked on the cob and cut table side. The short rib barbacoa with sweet potato, rice and beans was perfect to split (since we had to try everything else too!) and the meat was tender. We didn't get drinks but saw a few come out that looked good. They bring out chips and salsa and a bean dip too. Can't wait to come back! read more

SOL Mexican Cocina - Love this place - Bars Near Me - Denver, Colorado

I found this cool little spot after wandering around Cherry Creek during Happy Hour on a particularly hot day. I had tried another popular C.C. Mexican place with a great outdoor patio on 3rd street, but left shortly after the hostess seated me and no one came to my table for several minutes to even bring water (it was over 90 degrees out!), plus the cheapest happy hour beer was like $6 and chips and salsa cost another $4! Wtf? My pro-Yelper skills soon directed me to Sol which had great happy hour beer and margarita deals, as well as free chips, salsa and beans! I had two beers and my yummy gratis items and was so full I didn't have room for their amazing tableside corn or guacamole. Those are definitely on my list for next time! The reason I can't give 5 stars is I was alone, as I usually am, and it no one came to wait on me for nearly 10 mins and finally the Host brought me menus. It wasn't busy at all. When I finally got waited on, she was pleasant, but no water was brought out right away and then finally came well after I ordered and received my beer. I asked for a napkin set and plate (already on most tables, but I was on the bench seat by the fireplace). I never got a plate or napkin and got up myself and took one of each from a nearby vacant table. After that, things went fairly smoothly and my check was $8 total, so not bad for a nice restaurant in Cherry Creek. I was however, discouraged, when a couple sat at the table next to my bench seat and had waters and drinks/beer and chips from the same waitress within 3 mins of being seated. I'm happy to rack up my tab by myself but the service has to make me want to! read more
