What People Are Saying About Sol Azteca

The Scene – Having served award-winning Mexican cuisine since 1974, Sol Azteca (there's another location near the Fenway) enjoys a loyal following. With exposed-brick walls and traditional fiesta decorations, the subterranean dining rooms all share a casual, homey atmosphere. Congenial waiters take pride in their service. Beware the acclaimed house sangria--its lethal. – – The Food – This is not a shopping-mall Mexican restaurant. Corn tortilla chips and a muy picante house salsa greet diners after they sit down. Superb starters include fresh, creamy guacamole and a…

What is the big deal? Am I missing something?

by JEM2009

I had been to Sol Azteca a few years ago and wasn't that impressed then either. I decided to give it another try. The food was bland. It didn't have much taste. I ordered the Taco Frito and the Quesedilla combo. Sure the portions were plentiful and the other food items looked very colorful however the actual entree was rather dull.. I left feeling like I was missing something oh I know THE TASTE. Also for the price of a dish $12.95+ you can't split an entree with your companion.

Perhaps I am looking for a more americanized taco taste if that the case then I sure won't get it at Sol Azeteca. I will not be back, two times disappointed is enough for me.

  • Pros: nice atmosphere ,good portions
  • Cons: The food was bland, you can't split a meal.

Good Mexican Food at a Sit Down Restaurant

by lcresuello

This place is pretty good when it comes to the food. I recommend it if you have the money and are willing to try mexican that isn't exactly traditional mexican food. I'm not saying that the food is bad (it's definitely great to eat), but this restaurant has interesting twists on some of the plates. The one thing that threw me was the fact that the quesadilla was deep fried. It seemed more like an empanada than a quesadilla in form. It was still really good though. I liked the different style, but it just wasn't a quesadilla to me. Also, I was a little disappointed that they didn't serve any of the traditional drinks... I really wanted to have some horchata with my meal, but they don't make it. Even still, I would go back to Sol Azteca at any instant (at least if I have the money).

  • Pros: Great Food, Ambiance
  • Cons: Price (a bit expensive for the average college student)

Great Food

by echo4c2000

Sol Azteca has the best authentic Mexican food in the city of Boston. It really is a memorable culinary experience. I travel quite a bit for business, and it's some of the best that I've had outside of Southern California or Texas. The mole sauce is amazing.

The service, at times, can be a bit spotty, but generally it is very good. They can get very busy, though, so it can be a bit hard to get in there, sometimes, especially on the weekends.

The drink prices are good, and they certainly don't go light on the pour, so be prepared. I highly recommend Sol Azteca.

  • Pros: Great Food, Great Drinks
  • Cons: Spotty service, Can be very Busy
