What an incredible experience my family and I had celebrating my mom's birthday! From the moment we walked in the door, we were truly taken care of by the attentive and kind staff. The hostess was pleasant and prompt, and our server, Darwin, quickly greeted us with waters and a warm welcome. When Darwin found out it was my mom's birthday, the night became even more special. The team, including Julio and Jessica, brought us champagne and a surprise appetizer, along with a card signed by everyone. The look on my mom's face showed just how special they made her feel. The drinks were a highlight—fresh-tasting and perfectly balanced, neither too strong nor too sweet. Every dish we ate was delicious and flavorful, with perfect temperature and seasoning. To top off the evening, Darwin surprised us with a special dessert. It was a truly perfect night, and it's all thanks to this amazing team. I only wish we weren't from out of town so we could visit more often!

Reliably great atmosphere, service, food, and cocktails. The cheese enchiladas are light and delicious - not your stereotypical "Mexican food". And their complimentary chips and black bean dip should not be missed.

When this place opened years ago I wasn't impressed - I ended up coming back this winter and had a 180 experience. The food is fresh and good, service is friendly and consistent and for the most part is comparably priced w other restaurants of this quality and location. I really enjoy their menu and GF option. They have excellent drinks and the table side guac is fun. I

This experience is a prime example of how a business should NOT treat its customers. The food was average at best, the service was extremely slow, and they failed to stand behind their prices list in their menus! We order our drinks and I noticed a $15 tequila flight special on the menu, I order the flight and later the server came back and said “the flight is $55 dollars, not $15) SAY WHAT! I showed her the menu (please see the attached photo) that clearly showed the flight was listed at $15. She said, wow that is correct , let me check with the manager. She came back with the other drinks we ordered without mentioning the flight or the error. (Like I was just going to forget!) I asked her about the managers response and she stated that they wouldn't honor the price that is clearly printed in EVERY menu. Sorry.... That's it, really. Needless to say that his left a horrible “taste “ with me, I really wanted to walk out, but we had all trekked down to Cherry Creek, so we stayed and dined on the mediocre food and endured the extremely slow service. The manger never came by to apologize or address the problem issues. What horrible customer service! Save yourself the $$$ and go to Chipotle and receive better food and at least there you know they will stand behind their prices.

Always inventive, always evolving. Consistently delicious. Omnivorous, carnivorous, or vegetarian. You'll find something beautiful on the menu. Love this place.

Our dinner here was excellent. The staff was very attentive, the drinks were great and the food was even better. We will definitely be back to try more of the signature tacos.
Kevin
Bartender was definitely backed up as well as the kitchen. Staff was friendly and accommodating Food was good, the experience was flat because of the wait
Ashley
The calamari appetizer is absolutely delicious, but it was the only thing that was good in our entire meal. The restaurant was hot and the service was poor. We have eaten at the Sol in Scottsdale several times and it is great, so we were very disappointed.

Finally a place that's not Tex-Mex or Norteño! Really good food, if you want to try contemporary Mexican cuisine this is a good spot to do it!

Great food, easy to find a seat in the bar area. Bartender was a little to quick clear dishes. Was not finished, and they were scooped away.
This restaurant is high end and beautiful. The service was exceptional! I ordered the carne asada tacos with rice and beans. I was not a fan of the food. It was not giving authentic Mexican cuisine. My palate did not like the flavors. I did not like the taste of the beans and the rice was crunchy. I did not finish my plate. The chips and salsa were my favorite part! My friend did not like her food either. For the population that this restaurant serves in this area, I’m sure it works but if you grew up eating and know how to cook traditional Mexican cuisine you’ll understand where I’m coming from. The drinks were good.

Absolutely amazing food. I was staying at the local Marriott and the food was awful there. So I ventured out to sola and it was the best decision I made. Food and ambiance was amazing! Would certainly go back when I'm back in Denver.

SOL Mexican Cocina in Cherry Creek is a vibrant midday escape that blends upscale flair with the bold, sun-soaked flavors of coastal Baja. The space is stylish yet relaxed, making it an ideal spot for a leisurely lunch or a business bite that doesn’t feel stuffy. The menu is packed with inventive takes on Mexican classics—think beer-battered fish tacos, grilled sweet corn esquites, and fresh ceviche that tastes like it was made beachside. The cocktails are just as thoughtful, especially the watermelon margarita, which is as refreshing as it is photogenic. Service is attentive without being overbearing, and the vibe strikes that sweet spot between polished and playful. It’s the kind of place that turns a regular lunch into something worth lingering over.

Nicko was very friendly and did a nice job for us. The corn chips and salsa's were the best WE (all 4 of us) ever had. Our mushroom and poblano pepper burrito's were very good and the short ribs barbacoa was also very good. We will definitely be back!

Food wasn't great and service was horrible. We ordered a round of drinks and the drinks sat on the bar for over ten minutes and were never brought to us. This is disappointing because I have gone in the past and it has been great.
