The Chile Relleno Chapín was tasty, though the pepper could have tasted more like a bell pepper, and then then beef could have been more differentiated. The Molcajete De Mariscos was varied with a bunch of different seafood types, and though tasty, probably a bit salty. The tortilla chips were warmed and fresh as always, and the tortillas were soft and a nice complement to the meal. As always very good food! And nice atmosphere as well.

Solea in Waltham is a tapas bar with a warmly decorated interior and a format built for sharing,…read moreand when the kitchen is on, it makes for a genuinely enjoyable night out. We walked into a space divided in a way that gives tables a sense of privacy despite the larger dining room, and the atmosphere was lively without becoming overwhelming. The tapas format rewards ordering widely. The ceviche is fresh and well balanced, with enough acidity to make it a strong opener for the table. The lamb meatballs and lamb chops deliver on the richness that lamb focused tapas should bring. The beef tenderloin is a reliable anchor for anyone who wants something more substantial, and the shrimp and calamari are both worth adding to a spread if you are building out a fuller table. The paella is massive and feeds more people than you might expect, with the chicken and chorizo version being the more reliable order for flavor consistency. Where the experience gets uneven is in the consistency across the menu. Some dishes land clearly while others fall short, and the kitchen does not always execute at the same level across a large tapas spread. The ceviche and lamb dishes worked well on our visit, but a few other plates did not quite match that standard. Service held up well, though it can stretch thin during busier stretches. Our server was attentive and helped guide us through the menu, but the pacing slowed a bit as the dining room filled. For a tapas dinner in the suburbs with a good selection and a comfortable setting, Solea is worth a visit when you go in knowing which dishes to prioritize.

A bewildering culinary experience. The portion sizes for these tapas are colossal. The beef skewers…read moreare massive, and the chicken empanadas might be a light lunch all on their own. But putting that aside, the hit-and-miss nature of each dish sucks the fun out of it. I would not recommend the beef skewers to anyone. While they looked gorgeous, they were downright chewy, with no tenderness or rendered fat to help me out. I almost always eat every bite of a meal, but I couldn't finish them. In contrast, the spinach had crispness, flavor, and raisins for real balance and a decent flavor profile. My spicy Solea (house) margarita was too strong, but worse, it was spicy as in hot, rather than spicy as in flavorful. It was like pepper was coating the back of my throat. On the other hand, the Basque cheesecake had great texture, on the outside and inside, and it was sweet and creamy. I found the service cheerful, and the space is great for large friend groups or for solo watching the World Cup. All in all, though, don't come here for the food.

SO GOOD. Incredible vibes and energy. This is an amazinggg spot in Brighton…read more As a table we ordered: - Tequeños - Yuca Frita - Arepa - Beef empanada & chicken empanada - I got a red sangria - My friend got a shrimp cocktail + a passion fruit Margarita No notes. All of it was 10/10. So so good. And it's an amazing environment if you're trying to catch any soccer game. Will be back!!

Started off super strong, but unfortunately went downhill quickly. The atmosphere was great!! Nice…read moremusic, good vibes, and a very friendly waiter at first. We ordered drinks and food, and the drinks came out quickly. However, we ended up waiting over an hour for our food, even though the restaurant wasn't busy at all (we were one of two other groups). To make things more frustrating, the tables who arrived after us were already being served. About 30 minutes after ordering food, our waiter came by and asked if we wanted anything else, and we said no, we were just waiting on our food. He said okay, but then didn't check on us again for another 30 minutes. When we finally asked about the delay, he responded, "that's why I asked you before," which felt dismissive and confusing, considering he was the one who forgot to put the order in. By the time the food arrived, it was actually really good, but the experience had already been overshadowed by the long wait and lack of communication. Really wanted to love this place. I would give them a second chance.

Tasty cocktails and mocktails and a good selection of Caribbean and South American dishes. Correct…read moreme if I miscategorized this, but that's what I go based on the menu. Of course there are some burgers and wings in there to keep it "American". Celebrated my birthday dinner here and had fun vibes all around. Thanks to the Top Mix staff and team for making it lively and exciting! Chill and friendly service, the layout is a little narrow except the front bar section. And I heard there is a speakeasy bar, which I haven't been able to try out yet. Hope to visit that bar soon next time.

Our food took a while - me and my sister got the same thing and mine wasn't cooked correctly. Eggs were overcooked and sausage was sliced super thick and undercooked. I could tell the cook was rushing trying to get the food out. I feel for them! Our waiter was super kind and I 100% will give them another try.

How have I never heard of this place until now?? I only noticed it after driving by it all winter…read more Been waiting for so long until they finally announced they were opening for the season yesterday (6/4). Pernil Cubano Plate (8/10): The meat is so flavorful and pretty tender!! The green salsa is FIRE. That stuff is an umami bomb, and actually not that spicy (could be a bit spicier). The plantains are so tasty. The fried yuca is good, but it gets a bit soggy from sitting with the rest of the food in the plate. That said, it's not that common to find yuca on menus so I super appreciate the sides. Pedro is very nice. This is in such a convenient location!! I will definitely be back to try more.

brisket burrito: 4.5/5 pork belly and cheese pupusa 4/5…read moreguac 3/5 - only because the portion is small for price Good place to go for a quick bite to eat, very casual. Place has a nice amount of space and decent seating if you want to eat in. Otherwise, take out service is good too. You go in and order and then can choose to sit wherever. They will let you know when your order is ready. The portion size of the burrito is decent for the price you pay. For the brisket burrito, everything is cooked very well. The brisket itself is very tender. Would recommend if you're looking for a chill, local spot.
