This was my first dinner at Mia's. I had been for lunch and enjoyed their fish tacos very much. But now it was to try a variety of their more serious dishes.
All of our food was spectacular and imaginative. Two of us had the chile rellano and both loved the dish. One said they needed to rush back to order it again. I had the chicken and it was outstanding. Very crispy skin with a spicy flavor, all on a bed of corn and chickpea puree. The half-chicken size of Mary's chicken was huge and I took about 1/3 of it home.
The fourth person ordered the Australian prawns and liked it very much. All the portions were generous and the cost was very reasonable. The four entrees plus 2 desserts, two cocktails and 2 deserts came to about $200 or $50 pp. Service was superb and friendly. Chloe, our server, was great - very helpful in describing the menu and checking for allergies, and just someone that seemed to love her job and the restaurant.
As a Solana Beach resident, we are lucky to have this gem. Can't wait to go back.

Our new favorite spot in north county! Staff is super friendly, the atmosphere is great and the food is 10/10. Our favorites were the ceviche, tacos and skirt steak. They also have a great happy hour!

Tucked into sleepy Solana Beach, this new spot is exactly what the neighborhood needed. The fish dishes are outstanding — fresh, perfectly prepared, and full of flavor. But the real stars are the oysters: hands down the best between Encinitas, Leucadia, and Solana Beach. If you’re an oyster lover, this is the place to come.
The wine selection is thoughtful and pairs beautifully with the seafood, and the service is warm, attentive, and genuine. It’s rare to find a place that feels this easygoing yet delivers such high quality. Solana Beach just got a new favorite.

Solid addition to Solana/Encinitas! Crushed the atmosphere with great lighting levels, table spacing, and decor. Service was on point. Our server Maya was very friendly and attentive and helped time the serving of the drinks and plates perfectly.
Great wine and alcohol selection (especially tequila and mezcal). We had the Hamachi, Octopus tacos, and rack of lamb. Amazing flavor and presentation.
Excited to try the brunch and more dinner items! 👏
Only note was nothing caught our eye on the dessert menu but I’m sure it will develop.
Fantastic new addition to Solana Beach! The side patio with canopy feels indoor/outdoor, with colorful murals, and plush, cozy booths. It had a lively vibe, but sound level was perfect to be able to talk at your table. Our waiter Bruce was fantastic and the whole staff had it together only a few days after opening. Extensive margarita menu and the food was incredibly flavorful and unique. Standouts were the pappas & mole, roasted carrots, mezze platter and volcano tostada. We didn't even get an entree because there were so many share plates we wanted to try. Definitely will be a go-to in the neighborhood!

Stumbled upon this place and I’m so glad I did! Beautiful interior aesthetic and really welcoming staff. The cocktails were excellent. I didn’t try the food this time, but everything coming out of the kitchen looked amazing. I’ll definitely be back!
