Went out for date night with my husband, and absolutely an amazing experience.The food was delicious, fresh, and full of flavor. The atmosphere was welcoming and everything came out perfect. Our server Iris was incredible -- so attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the entire meal. She truly made our experience even better. Definitely recommend this place and we'll for sure be coming back! read more

I LOVE this place. The food is incredible, service has always been good, it's clean, awesome location and ambiance and I like that you can even see into the kitchen. Gives a transparent vibe so there's no mystery about who's cooking back there (LOL) We've eaten here several times. I've never been disappointed once. That's saying a lot nowadays. It doesn't always feel "worth it" to eat out but Sol makes it worth your time and money. read more

We really wanted to love this place, but after three visits, it's clear the quality and service has taken a nosedive. Our first visit two years ago for a birthday was exceptional, even with a large group. However, our recent experiences have been a complete 180. We came earlier this year for dinner and had a server who seemed completely checked out. We barely saw her and felt ignored--we weren't sure if it was because we had a child with us, but the lack of service was noticeable. We decided to give it one last shot today for Cinco de Mayo, specifically because of the advertisements promising giveaways, merch, and a festive atmosphere. We even booked our reservation two weeks in advance. Unfortunately, we were seated with the same server as last time, and the experience was even worse. We saw our server maybe twice I asked for salsa, never got it. I love the bean dip, the server never brought it to us. We were the first ones in, and her section only had us in it. I'm sure they were tasked with other responsibilities as a server but I would think customers would be #1. read more

HIDDEN GEM. We had a GREAT time here, and will be back soon. I don't know how we hadn't heard about it before. But the food, atmosphere and service were all amazing! If there was one note I'd give, it was that my drink wasn't very strong. For being a mezcal drink, I should taste some smokiness, but I didn't. I've never had big filets of calamari like this before. So good! And the short rib plate served with beans and rice... omg, so good. The short rib was so tender. I'm still thinking about it now a week or two later. If you're around, go check out SOL. I hope you love it as much as I did. *They also had a party room that looked like it could seat 14 people. Could be a good option for a group or birthday dinner, etc. read more

Came here for a client dinner on a weeknight and it did not disappoint! We shared guac and queso for the table. They provided salsa as well. The service was great! She was able to answer all of our questions and was super attentive. I got the steak fajitas and they were very delicious! Everything was priced at a reasonable price. We also got the chocolate mouse dessert to share. If you're in the area and craving Mexican I would recommend SOL! read more

Ghost chili sauce was on point! Actually super spicy and liked mixing it with the mild less flavored salsa The house roads tostada/tortilla chips were stale and bitter Ambiance and service were on point like their other locations. Food was decent for an American Mexican joint. The corn is the best thing here read more

So I've been scoping this spot for a while. Stopped in today. Best the the bean dip! It's comes free with the chips and is unlike any bean dip I've ever had. Super good. Salsa is great also but you will hit the bean dip since it's so good. Place is clean and a smooth chill vibe. Service is perfect. I came 3pm Sunday which is when I recommend to avoid crowds. Parking sucks. Look it's cherry creek that's just the way it is. Do what I do, bring some scooters in the trunk, park blocks away and scooter over. Will def be back! read more

Went here for cinco de mayo. It was honestly a disaster, but management did make it right. Sol had amazing food, but could offer more options that don't have avacado and red onions. Not everyone likes this, not can everyone eat these things. They messed the order up, but provided a new order just for me. It was a simple quesadilla, which I felt shouldn't have been that big of a deal. However, it was Cinco de Mayo, so I'll give them a break. I'll definitely try coming back again. read more

F O O D We came here for Adam's birthday brunch... and let's just say this place DID. NOT. DISAPPOINT. Everything was phenomenal! Our food and our drinks were to die for! S E R V I C E Our waiter was so spunky! He cracked jokes the entire time, had refills to us before we even knew we needed them, recommended his favorited to us, and even gave Adam a birthday dessert! Phenomenal service!! A T M O S P H E R E From their open bay windows to the colors to the seating! It doesn't get more classy and cozy than this! Absolutely blown away by this place and will be returning again next time we're in Denver! read more

Sol Mexican Cocina is seriously underrated. I had dinner here recently and was blown away by both the food and the service. The menu is inspired by Baja California and offers a coastal Mexican twist that really works: fresh ingredients, thoughtful flavor combos, and beautiful presentation. Here are the standout dishes I tried: Grilled Sweet Corn - Smoky, buttery, tangy, and topped with cotija and a chipotle drizzle. Could eat this every day. Wild Fish on Esquites - Almond-lemon crusted fish over grilled corn esquites with tomato, lime, avocado butter... absolutely packed with flavor. Warmed Goat Cheese - Sweet, salty, creamy perfection with peanuts and chipotle syrup. TJ Caesar - A fun twist on a Caesar with avocado, olives, crunchy garlic toasts, and a great house-made dressing. Grilled Wagyu Steak - Tender, flavorful, and served with tomatillo salsa and cilantro chimichurri. The space is relaxed but stylish, and the staff was incredibly warm and helpful. Whether you're looking for a chill dinner spot, a place to impress out-of-towners, or just some well-executed coastal Mexican food, Sol Mexican Cocina is a win. If it's been a while since you last stopped by, go back. You'll be glad you did. read more

Our mid afternoon arrival put us in the perfect position to enjoy the sunshine and street view without getting too hot. Our waiter was fantastic with just the right amount of serving. We never had to look around for him. Water and chips with salsa arrived quickly while we were still looking over the menu. With specialty tacos on the menu, it was hard to decide. We ended up with carnitas taco plate, a fish taco, and the sweet potato taco. Then we split the beet and watermelon salad while waiting for the tacos to come out. The salad was pretty good upon first bite but actually improved on the plate after 10 minutes sitting in the juices. Spectacular. The tacos hit the spot too. Lots of flavor and filled just enough that you have to work at not being too messy. We thought we were done but our waiter asked if we wanted a churro. Had we walked out never eating the churro, the dining experience would have been good. Fantastic even. But the churro! It was the cherry on top of the trip to Denver and wont be soon forgotten. read more

My family and I were in Cherry Creek to stop and get a late lunch, while looking for a place to eat, SOL Mexican Cocina was one of the restaurants that had an opening for us. Upon arriving at Sol, we were greeted and seated immediately. This restaurant has such a cute vibe and decor, and the music was at the perfect level allowing for an ambient noise in the background, while allowing for us to hear the table convos. Our server was really great and attentive, and made sure we immediately had our drinks and chips, salsa, and bean dip. It was a pleasant surprise while we looked through the menu and decided on what we would order. Upon deciding, I ordered the lunch chicken fajitas and the esquites as a side and they both were cooked and seasoned to perfection. There's a lot of really great options for drinks, appetizers and main courses to choose from, we will definitely come back again to try out other menu items. read more

We'll definitely be back! read more

SOL Mexican Cocina - House margaritas - Bars Near Me - Denver, Colorado

The ambiance was very nice and the dessert was excellent! The food, however was much too spicy ! 3 out of our party of 6 couldn't enjoy our dinners. The server told us that everything they serve is spicy and starts at medium heat, they don't have mild. If you want to reach a larger audience, mild levels of food should be incorporated. Also the bartender working that night could use a class on how to make a nice smooth drink. The alcohol was overwhelming. To make matters worse we had reservations but they couldn't keep up with the crowd (granted it was Christmas night). I suggest that maybe they should put "Reservations Only" on their holiday hours, and stick to it. We waited almost two hours with a reservation. To sum it up: nice ambience, spicy food, strong drinks (too strong), great desserts, could use better management during busy times. read more

Great ambiance and a really nice menu! Definitely ask for their Taco Tuesday menu -- it's worth it. The street corn was fantastic, and the animal taco was a standout. On Tuesdays they even had girls offering tequila shots and swag, which added a fun touch. Overall, I was super impressed with the menu and everything we tried was delicious. read more

We just went to Sol for the first time and LOVED it. Our server Thomas was incredible and was very knowledgeable of the menu. We had a very enjoyable experience and the food was wonderful. We will be back and we will be sharing with everyone! Thank you. read more

Food and atmosphere are amazing!! I also thought they're very well priced for how high the quality is. Phillip was our server and I haven't had this good of service in a looooong time!! He was very attentive and efficient! I can't wait to be back and order margaritas and steak tacos!! read more

We had a great experience at Mexican Soul Cantina! The food was flavorful, fresh, and came out quickly. The atmosphere was lively and welcoming, making it a perfect spot to relax and enjoy a good meal. A special shoutout to our server, Thomas. He was friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our visit. His service really made the experience even better. If you're looking for great Mexican food and excellent service, I definitely recommend Mexican Soul Cantina. We'll definitely be back! read more

Our experience at Sol tonight was terrible. To start, the table we were seated at was uneven and kept sliding around causing drinks to spill. The chips, salsa and bean dip were all good and served warm which we enjoyed. The service was incredibly slow. We went a solid half hour without water while waiting close to an hour for our food. When the food arrived, all four of us had issues with our dishes. My mom ordered the "large" mushroom taco. The larger specialty tacos are served a la carte, meaning you get one taco and no sides. The prices range from $11-$23 each. The only thing larger about these is the size of the tortilla. The amount of filling inside the taco looked like the size of a small street taco. I ordered the shrimp fajitas. They were served with just two chewy, dry tortillas. The shrimp has good flavor, but everything else was bland. My brother ordered a carnitas burrito that had a lot of fatty chunks of meat. The worst dish of all was my step dad's carnitas quesadilla. The filling was almost nonexistant. Hardly any meat or cheese in every piece. We couldnt believe our eyes. It was truly pathetic. What made the experience slightly better in the end was the AGM Andre. He came to check on us to see if we needed anything twice throughout the night, when our waiter never did. The second time he came by, my step dad shared his disappointment about his quesadilla. Andre immediately made it right. He was super kind and apologetic and was just provided exceptional customer service. Overall we will definitely not be returning to Sol, but we are appreciative to Andre for his care and concern. read more

Came here on New Year's Day for a nice dinner out and the overall experience was decent. Our waiter was attentive and helpful but in general, the food was very mediocre for the very high price point. My one fish taco was $12 which should be a crime. It was good but definitely not worth that price. Save your money and go somewhere else in the area for a high quality dinner. read more

Sol Mexican has a great vibe and super friendly staff. We were seated quickly, which was awesome, but the apps and food took a while to arrive. The queso was amazing--definitely the highlight! However, the Chipotle shrimp burrito was mostly beans (95% literally) with barely any shrimp and it lacked seasoning. It looked good and the presentation was solid but the flavor just wasn't there. May give them another shot and just avoid the burritos next time! read more

SOL Mexican Cocina - CHIPOTLE SHRIMP BURRITO - Bars Near Me - Denver, Colorado

It is difficult to assign a positive recommendation to this restaurant. The prices solicit an upscale presentation, but the disorganized service and incredibly long wait times, coupled with food that is unseasoned, lukewarm to cold, poorly cooked, lacking texture, and of ambiguous quality of ingredients, leaves one with nothing other than feelings of passive disappointment. While edible and slightly varied in menu options, nothing is particularly different or unique either to offset for the mediocrity of execution. Parking is sparse and tedious but not unforgivingly so, given the area. Whether you make a reservation or not, be prepared for people who walk in to be seated and served before you; and for your seating time, drinks, and silverware to be variable in fulfillment time. read more

SOL Mexican Cocina - CARNE ASADA QUESADILLA and TORTA BUFALADA - Bars Near Me - Denver, Colorado

TLDR disappointing food for their prices Menu specifically says "individual large tacos" but that's a straight-up lie. It's a single regular-sized taco. Grilled octopus tasted good, but the tissue wasn't trimmed properly, so it was slimy and unpleasant to eat. Bread pudding was actually delicious, but needs a larger scoop of ice cream, and there was also some ingredient in a few bites that was tough to chew. Idk if it was the banana or what, but def didn't like that. Corn appetizer tasted great, but it was on the cob. I like cobs, but only if I'm at a neighborhood bbq or something; not a restaurant. It's a pain to eat, gets stuck in your teeth, and is just a bad experience. Would much prefer kernels with the sauce and shredded cheese and stuff. Drinks were good, so there's that. Waiter was also chill and attentive. Entrance isn't obvious. Just a wooden door. Was walking around for a good minute in the rain tryna figure out how to get in. read more

In town for business/leisure and stopped into Sol twice for dinner. My husband and I have been to the Scottsdale Az location many times. Their menu here in Denver seems much larger and explorative when it comes to flavors and combinations. There was live music playing both nights and a packed house on Friday but more chill on Saturday. Both nights we were able to be seated right away but we like sitting at the bar. We sat at the high top bar and enjoyed some specialty margaritas. There are some lower tables in the area and a cute fireplace. Our bartenders were cool AF and we really enjoyed conversing with them. Dinner was great both nights. I had the shrimp relleno the second night and the grilled Spanish octopus the first night. We also had the shrimp taquitos and the filet/shrimp "el jefe" tacos. We will definitely be back to visit this location when back in Denver! Don't forget to check in, there might be reward awaiting you. Peace read more

Delicious tacos, salsa, beans, margaritas. Exceptionally friendly staff. Nice atmosphere. Locals like it, a good sign.

Dined in the bar for lunch . Great service! Chips & dip was great ! Black bean dip is very tasty! Had the viper & short rib taco. Both were very tasty & satisfying! For a cocktail I had the Frose which was yummy for the sunny day! read more

This place delivered 10/10 hospitality and service from the second we walked through the door! Linda was an AMAZING server who took the most amazing care of us and every food suggestion made was worth it and excellent (compliments to the kitchen staff). As well as the hospitality - walking through the door greeted by a friendly face, Tate, this place is a must stop if you are in the state of Colorado. read more

Alright so my wife and I are on whole 30! Final days on the reset and of course we decide to go out to eat with some family (why would we do this), I get here and immediately my mouth begins to water. The idea of a margarita with chips and salsa is simply to die for at this point, but I must say the food, and the service are worth the visit read more

Thomas and the staff are incredible. A great brunch experience overall with the best conversations and good laughs. The food? Absolutely scrumptious, will always recommend and return to Sol with friends! 10/10 experience, go to Sol! read more

SOL was an amazing find... at first. I visited this place three times. Once for dinner and another 2 for brunch... the first time was for dinner and it was amazing. Our server was attentive and seemed so happy to serve us! The food was 10/10 and the food was so good! We couldn't wait to come back. This is the only reason it's not getting 1 star. We returned for brunch on a Sunday and it was lacking. The service was slower. The food was okay. It almost tasted like it had been sitting under a heat lamp for a bit. It was fine, but not horrible enough to deter me from coming back. We then returned again for brunch. We made reservations for 6. We were seated and waited about 20 minutes to get anyone to come over. I had to get up and go ask the host if he could please get us some assistance and cups of waters. He quickly brought us waters, then we got our waitress who seemed very frazzled. She explained our waiter called out so no one was in charge of our table. It was very strange that the restaurant didn't work this out in advance. We received our mimosas and food, after all ordering. The waitress came back to confirm a couple things that were previously confirmed. We also didn't get all of the items in our order initially. Overall, it was a bad experience that definitely had me questioning if I will ever come back for Sunday brunch. Very disappointed in how this place changed in my mind so quickly. read more

Wow! Now I know why this place is always busy when I pass by. Their Baja California style food is exactly what I needed being land locked here in Colorado! We were seated right away even thought we were a bit early for our Saturday afternoon brunch reservation. We were provided a brunch menu but opted to order off the lunch/dinner menu. I got a house marg (my go to at Mexican style food establishments). It didn't disappoint - I ended up having a second one! We also receive chips and salsa and black beans when we sat down. All taco orders come with two of same but we wanted to try different tacos so we both got the Al a crate option. Which was perfect. These were full size tacos, none of those small three bite type street tacos. They were filling and we agreed we need to come back and try a few other tacos that sounds delicious! I did t give it 5 stars because would waiter wasn't great. I told him I wanted salt on my marg and it didn't have that. I said I wanted black beans and rice with my tacos and never got that. It's like he couldn't remember anything we said. Active listens and recall are keys to being a good waiter. read more

SOL Mexican Cocina - Beer battered shrimp taco and SWEET POTATO & BLACK BEAN TACO - Bars Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Fun restaurant! We made a reservation so we were able to get sat at the time we arrived - we did even get there about 15 minutes early. We were brought some chips and some dips (salsa and black bean dips). The chips were huge! We started with the chorizo & mushroom queso. It's was more of a fundido and OH SO good! I love the cooked cheese at the bottom that was stuck to the cast iron skillet it came in. It was also spicy since it had red pepper flakes all in it. It came with corn tortillas but we did ask for another basket of chips to eat it with. I ordered the fried fish tacos. The fish is cod and there was lots of it in the taco. I got spicy slaw and rice as my sides. Both basic but good. I'd say it's a good restaurant to definitely try. read more

SOL Mexican Cocina - FISH TACO GOBERNADOR - Bars Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Good food and good service! I landed on Taco Tuesday and was glad I did. Got the Animal Taco which had carne asada, fries, cheese, crispy onions and cilantro. I skipped the siracha sauce. I thought it was amazing. The meat was cooked perfectly. They serve you chips that are the actually small corn tortillas that you break apart. I thought that was neat. Also the two sauces that come with the chips are really tasty. One is more of a bean dip and the other just enough spices to be full of taste but not spicy. No draft beer on tap - you know that's a must for me - but they served me bottled beer in a frozen glass so that makes up for it. Definitely would recommend for anyone looking.
