I ordered the vegetarian burrito with no cheese or sour cream. It was delicious! Size was good for the price ($18 with tip).
Great decor! Amazing water! Superb staff! The food? DELICIOUS! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

The wait time is too long despite it being nearly empty. We decided to eat somewhere else. Unacceptable.

Tucked away in the Foodland complex, the unassuming Mar Y Sol has been on my radar for sometime. TBH, I live in the valley and don’t come downtown often, especially during high tourist season. But I had a good yoga class at the nearby Alaska Club and after a brisk walk to Marine Park, I decided to treat myself. Seat yourself dining, my waiter brought water, chips, and a delectable salsa promptly. The waiter recommended the Birria Quesotacos so I ordered it. Unfortunately, this is not a dish I would recommend. It is basically stew meat and cheese in a taco shell that is then fried, with a side of the beef jus. Greasy, with not a lot of nuance of flavor, I ate one of the three tacos and wished I had tried something else. Luckily, a friend came through the doors and he was glad to take care of my leftovers while I sampled another dish. Something fresher, I asked the waiter, and this time he suggested a vegetable quesadilla. The quesadilla was fine but again lacked the freshness I was longing for. Granted, fresh vegetables have a short shelf life in Juneau, but the lack of them in both meals was disappointing. The menu suggested asking the waitstaff for salsa samples, so I tried the pineapple habanero, hoping to punch up the quesadilla. I think they left out the habanero as it just tasted like puréed pineapple.
Darn. I might try Mar y Sol again and just stick with the house salsa.

The waiter said the beans were vegan, unlocking the menu; say no cheese. I ordered the veggie tacos, and they were pretty tasty! The chips and salsa were good and not too tomato-y. The staff were friendly, and the food came out fast. I ordered a to-go burrito for lunch tomorrow.
I ordered the beef chimichanga, and it was cooked perfectly and tasted delicious. The service was good. The gentleman was nice and courteous. The decorations were whimsical and colorful.
