Was really hoping this place would be good but I let down. The service was absolutely terrible. Our waitress Itzel only checked on my table of 5 once which was at the very end before she disappeared. She didn't bring us more water or ask if we needed anything else. Especially having 2 kids under 6 I was surprised. We ordered our appetizer and did not receive it until we were already done with our main meal. I had to ask about it twice during the time we were there and our waitress said oh yea it takes a while for the cheese to melt...umm 30-40 minutes for cheese to melt is unheard of. Absolutely unbelievable. Then we sat for another 20 minutes waiting for the check and I had to ask a buzzer to find Itzel so we can pay. Finally once we got the bill we had to wait another 20 minutes for her, but this point we were annoyed and so I got up to walk to the bar and asked if they could close us out because we had been waiting 20 minutes for our waitress. The cherry on top of this was Itzel was in the tables near the bar with in n out and counting cash. Like what? We had asked if she was on break and she said no she was working both indoor and outdoor but to me counting twenties and having in n out did not seem like you were working anything. Really disappointed in this service. It was not even busy for there to be any close of an excuse as to why we just sat and waited around for almost an hour with two kids waiting to leave. Lastly, food was okay. They messed up that order as well and brought it to another table to only walk back to the kitchen area to I'm sure just switch the tacos around. After they had both been on two separate tables with different people. Pretty sure that's not sanitary either. I know times are tough on the restaurant industry but this is just not acceptable and not a way for you to earn those tips.

The food and water lmelon marg was so good! First time trying fried tacos, and it was delicious! The Guac Solita was so fresh, I will definitely come back again.

As locals, we love coming to Solita - especially for happy hour and Taco & Tequila Tuesday. Great deals and exceptional service. Our last visit, Eddie was our server and he was very helpful and friendly. We have great service, value and quality every visit and will continue to return

Went there for my girlfriend's 21st bday. We brought our own cake and candles. Eduardo was the best server with great drinks, yummy food and prepped the cake for us and sang us happy birthday with our cake and some ice cream dessert. Pilar even helped sing and was great! Thanks for making us feel so welcome and happy. Amazing service I can't thank you all enough

Service is slow and they don't always get the order right. Don't like the added fees either. Food is good though.

Came here for lunch after doing some weekend shopping at the Bella Terra. The restaurant has a nice atmosphere and wasn't overly crowded even though it was a Saturday afternoon at lunch time. We were seated immediately outside. Overall, we felt the service and food was just OK. In terms of service, we ordered diet cokes and had to ask to get refills as it wasn't noticed when they were empty. The food service was also a little on the slow side. The chips and salsas they bring out were really good and we enjoyed trying the different salsas. My boyfriend ordered the Vapiro taco with carne asada because it was described as "one large taco," as opposed to their street tacos. We were honestly surprised at how small it was! We would not consider this a large taco. He thought the flavor was just OK. I ended up ordering the esquites salad with chipotle shrimp, which was a pretty large salad and we ended up sharing this dish after he finished the one taco he ordered. I really enjoyed the chipotle marinade on the shrimp and would recommend the salad. We also ordered a side of Yucatán-style refried black beans, which were good although the portion size was also very small. Would we go back here again? Probably not. We'll try another option next time we're at the Bella Terra.

Sellie is such an amazing person. Thank you for your patience and attentiveness with our table (we had a lot of requests lol) The chile relleno is different but SO good. Love their dim lighting and very accommodating to our request. Ambiance was on point

Taco Tuesday is such a vibe. Can't pass on their K38 special Manager Bailey gave us insight on the story behind the name. Surf spot down in SoCal, perfect Marg and tacos. Definitely coming back! Plus they have live entertainment from 6-9pm It should be Mexican artist but a dude with a guitar is cool too

Great tacos! Love their happy hour. I'm from SD and I came down for a weekend. My girlfriend and I had a lovely night out. Service was exceptional. And the ambiance was on point. Perfect date night

My hubby and I went for Taco Tuesday. The food is delicious and the drinks are so good. We tried the watermelon, pineapple and spicy pineapple margaritas. Chef’s Kiss ? The chips and salsa are delicious and so is the elote. The atmosphere is a great balance between casual and date night.

Great food, attentive service, loved the live music and moody feel of the restaurant. Shoutout to Sellie and Bailey for chatting with our table!

Great food, service, and vibe. The chips and salsa were amazing. Had the street tacos (fish and carne asada) with beans and rice. For dessert, we had the deep fried ice cream and churro bites. Also can't beat the $7 House Margaritas this month for "Marg Madness." My family of 4 ate and drank all we wanted for under $100. Highly recommend!

Good Margaritas! Great and quick service the staff were friendly. The price point was not too bad.
