    Guac made at the table
    Nicole R.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]I love the atmosphere.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It is smaller than it looks so during busy times I may suggest checking to see if they take reservations. I ordered a chicken taco and it was very full (lots of chicken) the refried beans are good. Salsa was okay. My husband really liked it, the flavor was different, I didn't care for it. Save me from getting filled up . We did get guac made at the table - good. My sister ordered beef tacos but it came shredded and she didn't like them. She felt that was on her (that she didn't ask) so she didn't complain / can't give it an honest review. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Like I said the atmosphere is great. It's very loud.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Parking on the street $1.50 per hour - meter Valet parking available No Dogs allowed Fresh chips & salsa, 1st basket complementary Table side guacamole was popular & looked delicious (on the list for next time) Booths, chairs, inside & outside available I really enjoyed the molcajete, it was my first time. The chicken was moist, the shrimp was perfect & the steak was nice and tender. Overall a good first visit. They even have fancy individually wrapped mint flavored toothpicks.

    Molcajete...always a winner!

    I have been coming to Sol Y Luna for years, although it has been quite a while since my last visit. It was so great to be back! I met five other friends for lunch on a recent Friday and the restaurant was packed! I do not think that there has ever been a time that I have been at the restaurant when it wasn't full! When I arrived, tableside guacamole was already being prepared. Since it is always a go-to for me, I was happy that the group had ordered. One of my friends wondered if anyone would be interested in sharing a molcajete, which is my all-time favorite at Sol Y Luna, so needless to say, I didn't even look at a menu. There is a valet lot behind the restaurant. If you are up for walking a block west to Corbin, you can find completely free street parking. Otherwise, there are meters along Ventura Boulevard. Although every table in the restaurant was filled, the service was great and our table was checked on throughout lunch. We had a fun time, and everything was delicious.

    Mexican lunch what a blessing !

    Sometimes I think my friends are super annoying, but then again, if your best friend isn't annoying you once in a while, how good of a friend are they really? It's practically one of my life mottos and definitely belongs in my bag full of clichés. Another one of my favorite sayings is: don't take a Mexican girl to a Mexican restaurant--she'll never be happy. It's not really the restaurant's fault. My mom is just too good of a Mexican cook, so the bar is set ridiculously high.That being said, Sol y Luna does a lot of things right. The salsa here is amazing, and that's one of the biggest ways I judge a Mexican restaurant. If the salsa isn't good, we're already off to a bad start. Thankfully, that's not a problem here.I also love that they prepare the guacamole tableside. It's always fun to watch, and it doesn't get much fresher than that. Over the years, I've also run into quite a few famous people here, which adds a little extra excitement to the experience. Another thing I look for is mole. It's one of the most complicated and time-consuming Mexican recipes to make, and I absolutely judge a restaurant by whether they can pull it off. Today I went with tacos. They were okay, but for me the real standouts remain the salsa, the guacamole, and the overall atmosphere.[[HIGHLIGHT]]If you're looking for a lively spot with great salsa, fresh tableside guacamole, and a little celebrity-spotting potential, Sol y Luna is worth it[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Food and service was good. I sat at a table near the bar. Easy to have my drink refilled. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Air conditioning was terrific on this hot day.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I was able to get street parking nearby.

    Crispy Taco & Tamal plate
    Linda M.

    Lol might be my new fave Mexican restaurant?! First of all this place is very Mexican whimsical. Very cute inside. The menu is quite big so that's nice. I love tamales so I got a combo plate and their tamales was really good!!! I also got a crispy taco and it was also really good!!! We also got a side of plátanos and they also were good. I know this is a valley staple so I'm so happy I finally tried it! I'd def be back!

    Molcajete
    Leslie C.

    I must update my review for this place, they earned it! I've tried the molcajete and tableside guacamole at other Mexican restaurants and nothing comes close to the taste and quality of sol y Luna! If you're on a diet or eating low carb they offer grilled veggie options instead of rice and cold veggies for dip vs their delicious chips :) Everything on the menu is delish! The margaritas are tasty and strong just don't buy the cheaper version it will taste watered down! Great service and food comes out quick! If you haven't tried it, what are you waiting for? It's always busy no matter day and time so be prepared to wait a lil bit but so worth it!

    Carne asada burrito
    Peter X.

    We came here last night to celebrate my wife birthday with her family. We called ahead to make reservations. This restaurant has valet parking for $10 in the back or there street parking, I chose street parking but it was only mad at 1 hour so I used the valet afterwards. We arrived on time and checked in but it still took about fifteen minutes to be seated. It's very compact and feel small inside of this restaurant. Our waitress was Martha and for the most part she was okay. It took three attempts for her to bring me my soda since she kept forgetting. She also forgot to bring me back my refill until I had to ask twice. I had almost the same issue yesterday at another restaurant, my drink was just a soda. I got the shrimp ceviche, chicken wings and my wife got the chicken mole. Her brother got the carne asada burrito. The food was okay but the service was slow with our waitress. What made the occasion special was that they'll sing happy birthday to you and give you a hat to wear so other people will know it's your birthday.

    I loved everything about this restaurant. (Except parking) We came here for their molcajete. It's my friends favorite thing. And it is now my favorite. It's huge. Sharable for sure. I didn't drink but my friends enjoyed their skinny margaritas very much! Service was a little slow, but they made sure to keep us updated and the whole time. Very attentive. We sat outside. Lots of plants, spacious and fresh.

    Guacamole
    Stephanie R.

    The restaurant took me back to the old Mexican restaurants of my youth with the large mural, decorative booths, and dark ambiance. I was told that the table side guac was a must, so I ordered that, a chicken tamal, and a side of rice. The tamal came with a side scoop of guac, so I got to taste the difference between the fresh guac and the 3-oz scoop on the menu. The table side was so worth it. When I cut into the tamal, the fresh corn smell really hit me, and the masa was very moist. I somehow ended up with mole on top, and it was a bit too earthy for me. The side rice was cooked perfectly and was a nice addition to my meal. The restaurant got busy very quickly as the lunch crowd arrived, so service felt a little inattentive. I never got a water refill and no one checked in with me between bringing my meal and bringing the check. I don't know if it was that I was sitting alone or if I was just so quiet that they forgot about me, but it would have been nice if they had asked if I needed anything else. Would I return, though? Sure.

    Do they offer brunch? and if so, what day and times?

    I think they only have one menu. When we went there at night time and also looked at their menu on their website .. it's the same menu.

    Do they currently offer happy hour?

    Are there private rooms available for parties?

    No private rooms are available. The restaurant is too small for private parties and they don't take reservations.

    Do they offer a mild salsa on request?

    I thought the salsa served with the complementary chips was very mild. That being said, I did not like the salsa. The chips were awesome- salty and warm.

    Do they take reservations?

    No, they don't

    Are you guys taking reservations yet or still first come, first serve?

    First come, first served. I called to ask this yesterday, 11/11/22.

    Do you have any patio seating for dining at the restaurant or is it all pick up and delivery?

    They have patio dining

    Are you open with the Curfew?

    Just FYI, as of 7/14/2022 they are open until 10 PM Friday/Saturday and 9 PM the rest of the week.

    Are you offering dine-in or takeout?

    You can get on their waiting list through Yelp

    What are you currently offering ? Is any dine in available?

    Currently we are not offering dine-in however we do offer to-go and delivery through UberEats.… 

    Is the happy hour only on weekdays?

    Nope everyday

    Do they have gift cards available?

    Please Call them and find out.

    Do they have taco Tuesday deals?

    They don't.

    Do they take reservations?

    No, they do no take reservations.

    Is it really a B rating like it says on yelp?

    I'm not sure, but I like the food better at their sister property Senor Sol in northridge. I came here because a friend from out of town wanted to go. Guacamole and queso are good but the rest of the food is just meh...ok. Drinks too.

When I inquired about it, he told us that they serve wine at "ambient temperature," but he would mention it to management. When it's over 80 outside, you should not be serving wine at that temp. He brought another glass in a little carafe on ice to try to remedy it, which was kind. I ordered a Watermelon Mojito on happy hour, with no agave ($10). It was fine. Other drinks our group ordered were a Lagunitas IPA ($8), a Pacifico ($8), and cold glasses of champagne (I asked before ordering to be certain; $12). As for the food, it was also ok, not bad, but fine. We shared the happy hour vegan Brussels Sprouts ($10)--no one is vegan, but that is how they come--the happy hour Margarita Flatbread ($10), the Lamb Bam sliders ($17 for two, add $6 for a 3rd), the Short and Saucy Tacos ($18 for 3) short rib tacos, and the Bone to be Wild ($18) for two large pieces of bone marrow with a few small toasted squares of bread. All of it was fine, in some cases a bit overpriced, especially off of happy hour. Many people seemed to love it, but our group was all of the opinion that it was fine. It's not a place we would rush back to.

Every single thing was delicious. I was highly impressed. This place will definitely be in the rotation. If I didn't live so far away, I would go for happy hour.
