We love eating at Sol de Mexico maybe 3 times a year on special occasions, food is outstanding. Just the server was very busy, I wish she can come to check more often to our table to ask if we need something, I understand it was busy day, we needed to ask for the check to pay because she wasn’t around in a while. She also was the bar tender.... anyway I will go back again food is authentic!!!!!!

Well, I made a reservation for Monday Oct 14th, then received a confirmation and reminder for that reservation on Oct 14th, but arrived at the restaurant to find it was closed on Oct 14th for Columbus Day. I took me over an hour to drive from work to the restaurant and finding it closed was not amusing. OpenTable, YOU FAILED!!!
