Even before the fire. Finally had the opportunity to try the new menu. It’s not your typical Mexican restaurant. Instead it’s more of an experience. The service is great and the menu is small but the limited menu gives thechefs time to pay more attention to what they are sending out. Excellent salsas, great food presentation and tasty cocktails. Definitely makes it standout from the rest of the neighborhood restaurants. It’s on the pricier side and that’s the onlyreason I am giving it 4 stars. For what’s around you can get more but you will not get the experience that Solazo provides. Go try it out for yourself and make sure to have a reservation.

This restaurant is not your typical Mexican establishment; it's more of an experience. The service is excellent, and while the menu is small, this limited selection allows the chefs to focus on delivering high-quality dishes. The salsas are outstanding, the food presentation is beautiful, and the cocktails are delicious. This truly sets it apart from other restaurants in the neighborhood. It's on the pricier side, which is the only reason I’m giving it 4 stars—while you can find more for your money elsewhere, you won't get the unique experience that Solazo offers. I highly recommend trying it out for yourself, and be sure to make a reservation!

The chocolate tres leches cake was fantastic. While the service can be a bit slow, the prices are slightly higher, but it’s definitely worth it.

Our server, Candy, was incredibly helpful and described everything perfectly. I will definitely return just to experience her hospitality again! The drinks were great, and while I didn't sample much of the food, I plan to come back for that as well.
