Food was good, but service was rude and late. Ordered ahead to pick up, and still had to wait 15 mins. Order was then only put in when I arrived, as I understand Spanish. They also added a tip I didn’t give due to this bad service. Reported it to my bank.If I ever go back… cash only!!!

The food was absolutely delicious ? the service could have been a bit better in terms of friendliness and attentiveness. No issue on my end with the time it took to get my food as it was being cooked in the back so it came out hot & good. They have somewhat of a bar and although I didn't have anything besides water/soda to drink the drinks I saw being made looked very tasty and refreshing. I will definitely be circling back to try some other items. I had the beef turnover, steak rice bowl, oxtails (to go), and my friend had the pork chop of course rice and beans. The portion sizes were filling couldn't eat it all in one sitting. If you're thinking of trying I recommend you do. Enjoy...

Food & service have been nothing short of TOP TIER at Sol Café. In my humble opinion, one of the most underrated and deliciously curated Latino restaurants in all of Connecticut! I mean that whole heartedly and this place has continued to exceed my expectations. I’ve been a customer for almost 2 years, and I can’t be any more satisfied with my experiences throughout my time here! Cheers to many years to come!?

Really great food and service. Loved the rice with Pigeon peas, and the fried chicken and fried pork chops are a must. We used to eat here all the time but for some reason we hadn't been in while. It's now going to be back in our rotation for sure.

First time going here and last. Came on a Saturday, as I walked in the door, I see one table being served, but my focus was to do take out only. Notice 2 waitresses behind the bar, who never acknowledged or looked my way, stood there for 5 minutes then ask one of them if I could place an order. She immediately said "one second " and walked away (very unprofessional and rude). Waited an additional 5 minutes until my order was placed. When my order was finished , I was given a price that was well above the menu price. When asked why, one of the waitresses stated their prices went up. I then said to her, that it is illegal to charge prices that does not coincide with their menu price and the menus with the incorrect pricing should be removed to avoid confusion. She then showed a sign that was not visible to customers coming in to place orders. First and foremost this is illegal, the service is unprofessional and the food was not even great, very bland and overrated. My order was shrimp tacos, calamari and beans with white rice. Tacos contained brown wilted iceberg lettuce with 3 bland soggy fried shrimp, the calamari was very bland and soggy served on wilted spinach and the beans were over cooked and mushy. Overall, the food was very distasteful and horrible, was not edible and tossed in the trash. These reviews have to be from friends and family of the owner. Don't believe it. I will never recommend nor will be returning. These people are total scammers that serve horrible overrated food!
