Churros and our personal cake
Joanne J.

Came in for a birthday dinner on a Wednesday night and got a little nervous when we saw how empty the restaurant was. But boy were we surprised! Beautiful restaurant with lazy Susan's and raised tables to share food and an amazing array of tapas. We had the ahi tuna, quesabirria, flautas, chicken chilaquiles and the mint chicken skewers. For me the quesabirria was a stand out, but the rest of our party loved the flautas. Started with the queso and they were able to accommodate leaving our chorizo. The servers were very fun and even offered us the choice of a tequila shot or churros for a birthday treat! Choose the churros this time and they were spectacular, filled with a Dulce de leche. This spot deserves more hype!

Fried Duck Empanadas

This was my first time at Sol Y Luna, and overall it was pretty good. The Cantina Margarita was a well-made classic margarita and the queso dip was great. Our favorite thing we ate was the duck empanadas, they're a must try! The quesabirria was decent, but we would probably try something else next time. The chicken skewers were also good. The only thing I wish was different was the timing of the food coming out. From the time we were seated to the time we left, we spent 34 minutes inside the restaurant. It did feel like we were rushed out, which was interesting when we had made a reservation and the restaurant wasn't busy. Overall though, Sol Y Luna is yummy and a cute place, so we'll give it a try again.

I tried Sol Y Luna at the Bham Restaurant Week Preview event and enjoyed my food so much that I decided to stop by for dinner. Great food Great drinks Clean restaurant Service was top notch And whomever is the host, he is so sweet.

Sol y Luna is always a restaurant I pick during Birmingham Restaurant Week. Today, I'm trying the Gin Colada, which has London dry gin, coconut puree , pineapple juice, cranberry juice, and orange bitters. For my first course, I chose the Sol y Luna Sampler, second course Puntas Puerco, and for dessert churros. They were a little busy, so the service was a little slow because they had a tequila tasting event going on. I will have to look into that next time, and it was Bham restaurant week.

Shredded beef flautas, lobster taco and duck empanadas

This place was amazing! The drinks were excellent, best spicy margarita in town. The food was unique and so delicious. Our server was so friendly and attentive. It's a fabulous little date night spot.

El Matadoor Margarita
Shameka C.

We walked over to Sol Y Luna only to see they were closed. Once we took a seat to figure out another place to eat, we saw they would open at 5:00 pm and only had a short wait for them to open the doors. Once in, we were given the option of indoor or outdoor and chose outdoor. We decided on Puntas de Puerco and Tomatillo Lobster Soft Taco. I went with the Puntas De Puerco after I glanced at a review. The pork tenderloin was cooked well with a sweetness and the grits with the syrup and Chihuahua cheese was good but could have used a few more pinches of salt. My friend decided on the Tomatillo Lobster Soft Taco because of a previous experience at the old location of Sol Y Luna, good to him but not as good in comparison to other experiences.  We also decided on the Tequila Sampler, bartender's choice and the El Matadoor Margarita, delicious!!! The hostess and our waitress were welcoming and attentive.

I think it was pork and grits. Not much food and not warm.
Kay C.

Service was great; food was meh but mostly due to it tasting stale as in case of the chips, and not hot or fresh in the case of fries and entrees. We tried it for restaurant week and servings were on small side. Decor was nice. I thought it made a good date place, especially near Botanical Gardens for a stroll after the meal. Might try again in the future to try for fresher food.

The service at Sol y Luna was impeccable. Everyone was very nice from the host to the wait staff. The drinks were all delicious. If you love margaritas, you will love their drink menu. The food was great! The variety of the dishes is what drew our attention. There are plenty of seafood options if you are a seafood lover.

Tasty!

This restaurant is truly amazing. The food was fresh and delicious and the atmosphere is awesome. The staff and service were incredible as well. Highly recommend.

Amazing guacamole with chipotle seasoned grasshoppers.
James S.

This is Mexican cuisine taken to a new level. Perfect for the "foodie" type person. They have inspired Interpretation of some classic dishes. Excellent quality.

Three small plates together!

I have been wanting to try this place for so long, and I finally got to try it with friends last week. We came right when it opened at 5:00pm for an early dinner. I loved the aesthetics of this place, it was just so beautiful. Since it was early we were the only ones here for a while. Our waitress was super friendly, attentive to our needs, and able to answer our questions. The three of us decided on sharing an appetizer and three tapas. We got the Sol Y Luna sampler. WOW! Their was a lot of guacamole, but I will say the plantain chips, vinegar potato, and sweet potato chips stole the show for me. I don't know if I can go back regular tortilla chips again. It was well worth $10. We loved it! I love how we could share our entrees/tapas and highly recommend it if you want to try several things here. They even brought out our entrees/tapas on a large plate where we could serve ourselves. We ordered the shredded beef flautas, puntas de puerco, and the chicken chilaquiles. I couldn't even pick a favorite of those, they were all so mouthwatering! I went in knewing I would like the puntas de puerco since it would be served atop cheese grits, and the pictures looked amazing. They did not disappoint! I also went in knewing the chicken chilaquiles looked good, and they definitely were too! The shredded beef flautas wasn't really something I would order on my own, but more a collective decision by my friends so we could have three entrees. It actually was pretty tasty! Very crisp! Overall, this was a wonderful experience, and dare I say this is officially my favorite Mexican restaurant now! It's such a nice change from the greasy hole in the wall Mexican restaurants everyone raves about. Give this girl some fresh flavors and out of the box menu items instead please! Good job Sol Y Luna! I will be back!

I really loved my visit to Sol y Luna. I found parking right out front of the building. I was shocked, as this area can be a bit tricky with parking. We got there at 11:30 and I feel like there was still plenty of parking left for ample parking. I met some friends here for lunch. I will say that this restaurant has taken proper precautions for dine in. They limit the capacity, provide hand sanitizer and they also require masks. I do like the clear partitions between the tables. They are there for protection, but they do not take away from the decor. They also do not get in the way of the tables. So, I think that they are perfectly placed. I absolutely love the atmosphere of the place. It is casual and relaxing. I also enjoyed my food. We had queso dip and chips to start. We opted to get the queso without the chorizo. However, I do plan to try this the next time. I had the Puntas de Puerco. It was amazing!!! The pork tenderloin was so tender and it was seasoned so well. The pork tenderloin was also on top of cheese grits and the grits were so good. There was some sort of syrup also on the dish and it was that extra spunk that makes this dish easily one of my favorites. One of my other lunch buddies had the Chile En Nogada. It was a poblano pepper and it was stuffed with ground beef. I plan to try this dish the next time that I visit. The staff was very helpful and attentive. I would say that this place should be worth regular visits, as they are awesome!

My husband treated me to a mid-week date night a few days ago. We had never been to this restaurant, but we know one of the owners so we decided to finally check it out. We were able to find a parking spot in front of the restaurant, which was great because this area of Mountain Brook doesn't always have a readily available parking spot. As we walked up, we noticed signs reminding people to wear a mask if they were going to enter the restaurant. Also, social distancing was enforced. We wanted to enjoy the nice Fall weather so we sat outside. Our waitress was friendly and gave us suggestions since it was our first visit. I recently had braces installed so I chose the crab enchiladas since it was a softer texture. My husband ordered the duck empanadas. We shared an appetizer of queso dip with chorizo. For desert, we had the flan, which was so good! All of our food was fresh and tasty. We really enjoyed our visit.

They have a food truck that I've heard wonderful things about and I ordered the chicken Caesar salad. It was almost like a chopped Caesar salad and it was just the right amount for a small girl dinner. If you like Parmesan cheese, this is a must order as they do not skimp on that! What was really nice however was that you couldn't tell the food was from a food truck. It was great quality and you are able to order from inside the bar and they deliver it to you. That was a great service. I can't quite remember which cocktail I got, but it was very delicious and at one point the server had even given me a new chilled glass so my drink would remain cold as I sipped on it. This is definitely a great date night spot or just a place to grab a drink with friends, definitely a little more upscale as we were there in the evening, so the lights were dim. I won't drop my rating as it's spring time in the South but I remember being cold immediately as I walked in- but that's typical for a lot of places.

I ordered the featured Old Fashioned for the evening along with a WhistlePig flight, both were excellent. The Old Fashioned was smooth, balanced, and exactly what a bourbon lover hopes for.

It makes the experience feel curated and intentional. The service is always amazing; knowledgeable, attentive, and clearly passionate about bourbon. And the atmosphere? Grown and sophisticated. It's the perfect spot for a date night, a business meet-up, or just a refined night out if you appreciate a good pour.
