honeywhatscooking.comMay 31, 2016One of my favorite Mexican places in SoCal. Everything was delicious, especially the Watermelon Margarita, complimentary salsa and black bean dip, vampire chicken tacos! Will be back!
Monica BaliJune 24, 2013Cool Newport Beach vibe. Healthier Mexican food with fresh flavors. Nice brunch with live music. Also great view of the marina. Service to me is everything and SOL delivers!
Rob HFebruary 18, 2018Amazing homemade chips and salsa. While the Carne Asada burrito meat was excellent, there were a lot of beans in it as filler. It also has great views.

Chad TovarFebruary 15, 2015The food is so good here and you have to try the jalapeño cucumber margarita!!!
Jerry JosephApril 5, 2015Don't be alarmed when you order the michelada... you did not shrink... the drink comes in what's nearly a fishbowl.
Good spot on Taco Tuesday. 4pm - close. Deals on beers, margaritas, tacos and guac! Questionable service though
PayDivvyOctober 4, 2011We recommend the Jalapeno Cucumber Margarita. You won't be sorry! Just remember to divvy up that bar tab with your friends on PayDivvy!
Dana ZamalloaJanuary 23, 2013Get there early on Tuesday! Taco Tuesday is awesome! Try the Azunia Tequila. Its the best'
Skinny Cucumber Jalapeño Margarita is THE way to go!! The chorizo queso is no longer on the menu, but they can still make it. Highly recommended!!!
Make a reservation! The wait time can be pretty long!
Ion VodkaFebruary 19, 2011Wash down a Taco Vampiro with an Ion Vodka and soda. The vodka is the first electrolyte enhanced vodka on the market!
You must try the cucumber jalapeño margarita! It's so good.
