Mar Y Sol Cocina Latina

I dined here on January 17, 2025. Parking is free but limited. I made reservations and recommended getting them.The environment was intimate, relaxed with dim lights, and decorated with Latin influence similar to a cabana. The noise level was average as there were many people inside. They also had Latin music playing which I loved. It is a nice restaurant to take pictures in.They offer Latin American cuisine, I ordered:La Diabla - 6/10Beautiful presentation, personally I didn't love the taste.Margarita de Oro - 10/10Ordered two! Great sweet taste of lychee and very pretty.Yellowtail Ceviche - 9/10Unique presentation. Sweet, savory and a hint of spicy flavor and pairs well with the plantain chips. Makes a great appetizer.Charred Tijuana Cesar - 10/10A unique twist on a classic caesar salad. Very flavorful and enjoyed the toasted arbol chili croutons for a crunch.Argentinian Beef Empanadas - 8/10Wouldn't eat the empanada itself but once you add the toppings it is absolutely delicious. Would have liked the empanadas to be fried or cooked harder as the breading was very soft and made it hard to hold and eat without it falling apart.Service was a 10/10. Our server was attentive, kind and patient. All dishes came out one after another in perfect timing.I would recommend Mar y Sol. I think it's perfect for date night or a girls night out.To see a video review, check out @lottiegolden_ on Instagram.

I'm surprised about the mixed reviews. This place is amazing and we had such a great Valentine's Day dinner. We started with the QUESO FUNDIDO. So good with the fresh homemade tortillas.Then we had the PARILLADA ARGENTINA which was a meat board with sirloin, filet, sausage and chicken served with trio of sauces and handmade tortillas. The sirloin and filet were perfect and I loved the flavor of the sausage. The sauces were delicious and a perfect pairing to the meat selection. For dessert we had the PINA COLADA CREME BRULEE. Delicious and the presentation was beautiful. The ambiance of the restaurant was romantic.The waiter was SO friendly and knowledgeable. He had great recommendations and seemed to really enjoy his job. He was very attentive and made the experience all together perfect. The only complaint I had was the sauces didn't make it in our to-go container.

First review of 2025 goes to Mar Y Sol Cocina ..This place is all about ambiance, beginning with the entry corridor, Mar Y Sol Cocina atmosphere permeates chill & laid back. Whether date night, happy hour with friends, our business meeting, Mar Y Sol's dim lighting low-fi music allows you the opportunity to break bread yet still hold a conversation without screaming across the table. Visiting for a birthday party, restaurant midweek wasn't extremely busy, however still had a small evening dinner rush. Menu wise, the establishment has some exotic options however house speciality items such as an Argentinian meat platter, picana steak, or seafood options such as sea bass or snapper , there's enough for the fine dining experience or simple meal. Having just left South America, I opted away from steak choosing Seabass instead. Fairly priced, the meal decently portioned. The highlight was the Caribbean curry sauce. Overall, it was a pleasant experience. I'll definitely be back for another visit.

Food was good. Decor and vibe is super dope. The drink with the fire is popular! Patatas bravas was wack, it was nothing like the Spanish version. The empanadas were good and the steak was pretty good. The side of chips were a nice touch. Service was nice with everyone well dressed. They had music with drummers that walked around you at around 10 or 11pm

The aesthetic in here is so cute. There's def mirrors everywhere to take cute pics. For drinks we ordered the margarita and espresso martini. I didn't care for the espresso martini. I usually love them but the coffee itself was way too over powering. We got the empanadas for an app and they were so good and had so much flavor. For our meal we got the rib eye and another type of steak. Both were really good. The chimichurri sauce was so good and flavorful. We also got the papas which were decent. The service was great they had someone walking around playing music which was a nice touch to it.

Good place for a dinner before night out, it's very instagramy, with great decor. Servers are nice and friendly and they have live music and show which is good. I wouldn't go here for the sole purpose to have great food but more for a great time. The food is 3.5/5. They do have some good optionsGreat place to have drinks, the drinks are all nice and comes with a showWe got Parilliada Argentina 4/5Wood fired picana steak 4/5

Booked a table for a group of 14 people over a month ago for this upcoming Saturday night. To book this large table I had more than one conversation with them so they clearly agreed to it. The restaurant cancelled my reservation today- 3 days before. The GM said he couldn't help it. Highly unprofessional experience. Didn't expect this from a Lombardi establishment. This has never happened to me before. Honestly there should be a setting for 0 stars.

Fun place for birthdays, celebrations, and catching up with friends. Feels like you are walking into an adventure when you open the huge front door. It would be too loud for a group business dinner to be able to hear across the long table or for a cozy dinner conversation unless you sit on one of the outside seating areas. Drinks : our La Diabla cocktail with sparkling fire-lit wrap around was like a show as the server held it up and the Tiki cocktail adored with an orchid flower was sweet and good. More ice than alcohol was included.Food: warm fresh plantains served with a side of sauce was a nice nibble until our bowl of ceviche on smoldering dry ice smoke and beef empanadas arrived. The braised beef plate with roasted vegetables and blue corn tortillas was a hearty portion that the two of us had plenty to take home for lunch. The creme brulee served in a halved fresh pineapple adorned with a purple orchid was big enough for two. Ambiance: unique architectural arch of branches as you walk inside. Comfy chairs and pretty decor like you are outside in a cozy porch but inside. We had 5 pm Tuesday reservations and glad because the music was loud like club music overhead but we could still hear before the restaurant filled up after 6:30 pm. Service: excellent knowledge of the foods to recommend, attentive, and proactively checked in with us often, including the managerValet parking only. We will come back again.

Besito de Verano, Queso Fundido, Callo Ceviche, Seis Leches PancakesI don't remember everything that was ordered, but this was INCREDIBLE. I truly do not understand the current state of the Yelp ratings as this place is truly phenomenal. This restaurant is brand new, and has one of the most beautiful interior ever. So spacious and airy and has resort vibes. The servers are so friendly and helpful. The drinks are delicious, and the food was outstanding. Every dish was made so well, so flavorful and unique. Favorites for me were the queso fundido and Scallops!
