I guess every restaurant is hurting because of the economy or taking advantage of it. The good thing is that they don't ask for a tip when you pay( perhaps it's secretly included in the price). I had an al pastor taco and chicken tamale which I left most of it. The place was packed though. I'm a hard critic. If it ain't great I won't be happy.

The food was well prepared, seemed to have a solid consistent quality to it across all the dishes we tried, and everything was flavorful. We were a bit shocked at how real and fresh the two passion fruit items were--we didn't taste the normal crazy amounts of added sugar.

This is not a high-end restaurant and more of a casual experience. We ordered the octopus mofongo, the empanadas and the alcapurrias. For drinks, we had the pineapple juice. Out of those, the empanadas and the juice were really good. Other than that, the rest was OK. The service was excellent, and our two waitresses were helpful and professional. The vive felt traditional and colorful. The restaurant is located in a centrally located small shopping plaza with plenty of free parking. If you are not familiar with the area, the GPS will take you straight to it.

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.

Beyond dry, large chunks of cold plantain, completely crumbled when I put my fork in it. I asked for pernil and they gave me pork slices which is not the same thing. Everything was extremely dry and they don't even give you chicken broth for the Mofongo. I would never come back or recommend. The worst Mofongo ever. I posted a picture of the correct way to serve Pernil con Mofongo and the way they served it. They're definitely not experienced.

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!!

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!
