Stopped by here for lunch on Wednesday with some friends from work. This location has been so many restaurants through the years. It was nice to see a new local Mexican place. Overall it was a good experience. The staff were very friendly and they have a decent offering for lunch specials. I ordered the lunch Chimichanga and it was ok. My friends ordered the lunch fajitas and a bowl. Both of their orders looked very good. Pros: * Quick service * Friendly staff * Good Food * Good portion sizes I'll give this place another try and see if my opinion goes up. I would consider this average - the chimichanga was good but the beans did not have any flavor. read more

3.75 A really solid Mexican spot in Murray Hill! Not the most flavorful Mexican I've had in town, but definitely a decent usual haunt. I think the enchiladas I got seemed very oily and I don't think I'd get them again. But I'm interested in trying more. Service was slow, but servers were nice. The parking can be tough on that street, but it is free. read more

I came here with my husband after seeing reviews on HappyCow, and I'm so glad we did. It's great to have a Mexican restaurant in town with an entire section dedicated to vegan food! I ordered the Al Pastor burrito and added the vegan chorizo for $2.99, while my husband had the chicken fajitas. We both really enjoyed our meals. The service was great, our drinks were kept refilled, and the staff was attentive. The restaurant was quiet and relaxed, we'll definitely be back! read more

I had the Chori Pollo, which is my favorite, and it was just perfect. The salsa is so good if you want a salsa spicier than normal watered down salsa. Service was quick and very good. read more

I was really disappointed with the horchata here. It honestly put me in a bad mood it tasted nothing like real horchata. If you're going to sell something under that name, it should at least resemble the authentic flavor people expect. This missed the mark completely. I wouldn't recommend it, and I hope they reconsider the recipe or how it's labeled. read more

I had the Street burrito it was amazing. For a small spot the food is good and authentic. They have good drink specials and only 2 staff at a time. I only Had to wait fror a few min to be. greeted. Heard its faster to get food to go Only one other couple in the restaurant at the time. Highly recommend this hidden gem in Murray Hill. read more

We were looking for a quick lunch and decided to stop in for tacos. The service was very friendly and helpful. Mahi taco was excellent. Nice spice level and great house made hot sauce on the side. The other tacos we had were also good with lots of flavor. We would go back next time we are in town. read more

I came for lunch on Friday and had the Surf & Turf tacos and they were delicious. They delivered my food to my table 2 minutes after sitting down. Great service and highly recommend read more

Unfortunately this is not a favorite place of mine :( The location itself is great, it could be a great place but I feel it is in much need of improvement in both service and food. The service is questionable, both times I have come here, I had a weird experience. Server had no idea what a Modelo was (that's fine especially if they don't drink beer BUT to not even know if it's available was weird). We told her 3x what the beer was called and she truly had no idea if they had it or what it was so she said "no we don't have it". We asked another staff member and they said they did have it so we finally got the beer. Then, the waiter took my order down wrong, I ordered a taco salad and I got a burrito. I told her this was wrong and she said I definitely ordered a burrito. I never in my life ordered a burrito from anywhere, I don't like burritos to begin with. The experience and mix up was bizarre but we got past it just fine. Now, the food is very mediocre unfortunately. Both times I've visited, the food is lukewarm and really not memorable or tasty. I really hope they make improvements but with competition in the area I don't think I will plan to return anytime soon. read more

Food was excellent, had the shrimp fajitas. Service was fast and great customer service. Will be back next time in area!! read more

We decided eat at Solazo Taqueria on a date-night since it's in the neighborhood and we were in the mood to try something new, Mexican and close. Although it's walking distance, we decided to drive and parking on the street can be challenging. There is ample parking behind the building a few yards back where JW used to be located. For now, it looks like there's no issues parking in that back lot. There was plenty of seating when we arrived and several parties already dining inside. There was a high-top bar where you can eat solo, stand alone tables for four or more and bench seating for those who like to have window views. Perfect to accommodate those who would prefer one over the other. To start, we ordered a beer for the man and a horchata for me. They brought out complimentary chips and their homemade salsa to our table. The chips were nice and warm and the salsa definitely had a nice kick to it. Delish. The waitress was so friendly and knowledgeable. I asked her what her favorite tacos were and she told me the Surf & Turf (steak & shrimp) that she just tried and the Crispy Fish (fried cod) tacos--a favorite. Sounded delicious so that's what I ate. Both tacos were very flavorful with seasoning on the meat and different from what I'm used to--but in a good way (a very, very good way). Both sauces on the tacos paired perfectly with the other ingredients. The tacos were delicious just as they were served. Perfect. I tasted the Gringo tacos from my BF's plate and they were also delicious and juicy. It's crazy, but their tacos weren't greasy at all (even though I don't mind it in some cases), but juicy and flavorful nonetheless. The prices are great. The service is fast and friendly. And the food is fantastic. read more

We stopped in for a quick lunch. There were only a few people in the restaurant, which was probably good since it didn't look like they had too many staff available. The fish was perfectly flaky with an excellent flavor. The steak was good but the star of the taco was the shrimp. During our meal one of the staff members brought over some freshly made salsa that was delicious! It was different than what they served with the chips when we sat down. The chips and salsa were good. The chips were warm but the salsa was cold. I'd prefer the salsa to also be warm, at least room temperature. read more

Average food at best. Very comparable to La Nop. Salsa was top notch, however we were not offered refills on chips. We had to ask for a re-fill for waters. Even thought both waters were empty, she only took the cup of the person who asked. Service was horrible- girl seemed bothered that we would order a drink, order food, exist. If service were even decent, probably would of given them 3 stars. Next time we will skip this place and go across the street. I will say they had a lot of Vegan options on the menu so if that's your thing it may be worth a shot. read more

the service and the food were so forget able. The wait staff was obviously overwhelmed and many patrons actually got up and left. They apparently were having issues with the cook that night also. They had no chips and it took about an hour to even get some eventually. When the chips and salsa were finally delivered they were fresh and very good. The salsa was plentiful and quite tasty. Once we finally ordered and got some food it was several notches below Taco Bell. Yes , that bad. One of us had a Baja salad that was not a very good presentation and very ho hum. I had the enchiladas and they were also very poorly executed. I would hope this night was not indicative of this restaurant. I did not see any happy people there this night for sure. The waitress was comical and probably so frustrated herself that she tried to over compensate. Maybe that is just her personality. I would probably not even go back when in the area. There has to be much better places to get some decent Mexican food in this area for sure. read more

The grilled chicken tacos were okay. The meat was slightly dry but well-cooked. The toppings were crisp and fresh. Service was quick and friendly. read more

We decided to try this restaurant, to start we waited at the front door for 5 minutes while the waitress was talking to friends at another table, someone else came out of the kitchen to seat us, the place was not busy, three other tables. The waitress was very slow with everything, if the food was great we could overlook the poor service, but the food was average. read more

Food is excellent. Service is not bad, but they never have enough servers. Takes forever till wait saff comes around

Absolute worst Mexican food in this area. Can't even tell you how bad it was. Local to the area, so we thought we'd try it and boyyy were we wrong. Place smelled like a mop when we walked in, never got silverware the entire time until we asked, and the tables were filthy. Server never wiped them down after the last people and the menus all stuck together. The tacos were absolutely disgusting. I honestly dont know how this place stays in business. Lap Nop is better and that says ALOT. read more

My partner and I have eaten here three times in the past few months and every single dish that I've had is absolutely full of flavor, amazing flavor, and the food is reasonably priced. I will be back again and again and again. read more

Oh solazo... I wanted this to be great but it just wasn't. PROs: super friendly bartender, plenty of seating, and open later than jefe across the street. The downside was I ordered a rosemary margarita from the standard menu - they were out. Then I asked for a glass of pinot noir from the standard menu - they were out. Ok, beer it is. Haha. No worries, things happen. But I was let down when I ordered carnitas and it basically tastes like a pot roast from home. This did not have the typical carnita taste and it was just ok. Not bad - but definitely just ok. Would I go back? I guess if I needed late eats and was in the area and nothing else was open, but probably not. read more

This place can not be described in words it's so good. This isn't our first time eating here and every time we have it's always been amazing service. The owners are so sweet and down to earth, which is a huge reason I would go back. The food is amazing, they give awesome portions, quick service. Tonight was the Murray Hill Halloween festival, and they were so busy. But them being busy didn't stop the level of amazing service they always had offered. If you haven't been here yet, it's a must.

I've been coming here for years, I love Solazo the food is good and cheap and the service is great.

The BEST Mexican restaurant in town!!! The garlic shrimp tacos are out of this world. Amazing staff and great food.

I absolutely love coming here! Great service ( I always love dining with Ginger) the food is amazing, my favorite taco is the chimmichurri, packed with flavor and tender juicy steak! this is the best mexican place around here. read more

Met up with some friends for dinner and margaritas here at Solazo tonight and it was OK, definitely missed the mark on a couple of things but in general it was pretty good. Service was also not very great. I'll just leave it at that. The chips and salsa were decent. My friend ordered the queso dip and it was very runny, also the portion was very small. I was most saddened by my strawberry margarita. I got the frozen one and maybe that's where I went wrong. It was awful... I couldn't even drink it. It tasted like grain alcohol and strawberry daiquiri mix. I noticed it came from a machine and was pre-mixed but I didn't expect it to be that bad. My friends got a few different types of tacos all of which looked delicious! They had no complaints about their meal whatsoever. I got the enchiladas suiza and it was also pretty tasty. Portion size was big I didn't expect to get 4 enchiladas so I ended up taking half of my entree home to eat later. I am hoping it was just an off night... I realize they haven't been open for very long and maybe they're still getting into the swing of things! I will have to come back and give Solazo another try in the near future. read more

This is the second time I've come here and actually eaten. The first time I just left because they were so understaffed and unprepared on Cinco de Mayo. The food is okay.. it would be better if the cooks could keep the trash out of it. Makes you wonder what else is falling into the food?? I won't be back. read more

Service was wonderful and the restaurant was clean. The food was fresh ingredients but lacked quantity. They go heavy on the side dish but the main entree was lacking substance. read more

Went on a Tuesday around 6. Ate at the bar. There was No A/C, (or very little A/C), so it was warm. Margaritas were warm and didn't have a lot of tequila in them. The salsa for the chips was really good. The chimi was average, but the veggie Fajita was very good. Food and service was fine. read more

I had the street tacos and they were great. They had 2 corn tortillas to prevent falling apart just like I like them. The Al Pastor was very good and was cooked on a spit like a gyro. We did speak to the owner and he said beer and margaritas are coming in a couple of weeks. My wife had the surf and turf tacos and she said they awesome. Ask for the fresh made hot salsa. It was perfect on the tacos but would be fabulous with the warm chips! read more
