Sol Cafe

Honestly I like good and it’s got to be good– this place is AMAZING!!! A must try — second time around is even better! Menu is expansive and absolutely fresh fresh fresh! Try the ceviche– the Cubano — the fresh quac– all is so very delicious– happy tummy land here!

Fresh and delicious: Sol truly values their dishes. Although I haven’t had a drink, it’s clear they value their bar and drink options as well. Some may point out Sol’s slow service, but it’s a friendly place, so if you have time to relax and enjoy your company, Sol is a great choice.

Mixed emotions. Pretty good legitimately Caribbean for the most part (except for excessive soy sauce in one dish, is that really Dominican?)
Mofongo was great, and the braised beef. Our total for 2 meals, 1 mixed drink and 2 beers was 65 with tip, so not cheap for a hole in the wall place
Had better. Had worse. Would agree to meet friends there and eat if they suggested it, but in no rush to go back.

OK. Four-​stars for food but SERVICE IS UNBEARABLY SLOW. There should probably be an intervention, for the sake of the establishment itself.
I don’t think I’ve had better seafood soup anywhere, but good god, man. Every other review is entirely correct. I will sit there for an unacceptably long stretch of time waiting for a simple meal, while other diners will be seated, served and leave before I even begin my entrée. I don’t get it.
The people here are very nice, so I hope they get their time management together. That said, the food is very tasty and the atmosphere is unique and comfortable. Downtown, no less! Not too shabby.
I would normally rate three stars for such slow service, but the food is really good so I want to help balance out the average review here.

Loved this place, food terrific and waitress was accommodating. Will be going back often.

The costumer service is one of the worst in town the reasons are; waiters take for ever and all they do is talk about them self and costumer are left waiting for ever to get service. The food is good but they have to improve on consumer service a lot.

Visited last weekend… as soon as I walked i felt the comfort of traditional home cooking which was very welcoming. I was hungry so I was looking forward to a great meal… I order the swai fish Veracruz style and it was amazing the sauce made the meal… The portion was very generous and filled me right up… I asked the chef what should I pair with and he recommend a Sauvignon Blanc that complimented the fish great I ended up drinking almost the whole bottle. Overall it was a nite to remember from the people the food the drink the music… I can’t wait to go back again

went in for dinner when there was only 5 other customers in the café. Waited an hour and 15 minutes for a chicken burrito with chips. there were only 5 chips on the plate, and the burrito was hardly the size of a lunch wrap. we ordered our food well before a younger Latin American guy ordered his, and he got his food within ten minutes while we waited another 45 minutes for ours. the burrito was ok, I’ve had much better. won’t be returning until I hear service is more fair and quicker

I’m really torn on how to feel about this place. It feels like you’re coming home to your latin grandma’s house and are just excited to see smiling faces and familiar foods. The bar/​drink menu was great, it’s awesome to see homemade sangria that doesn’t taste like sugar water and actually has a nice boozy kick to it. Went in for lunch takeout and made the (incorrect) assumption that it would be a quick trip. Waited nearly 1.5 hours for 3 tacos, a bowl of gumbo, and a small bowl of yucca. We were already 3 drinks in by the time the food came, yet the kitchen was packed full. Even had to ask the waitress for «how much longer?» (which wasnt answered for 10 more minutes… then she said 5 more minutes until food would arrive) Had to continually ask for water refills, even though the lunch crowd had thinned. As for the food, the tacos were very well seasoned and yummy. The gumbo was too tomato-​ey for my taste, and the quinoa was overcooked. The boiled yucca left much to be desired as well.
