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 smoky queso asado (a blend of three cheeses, baked with sliced chorizo). As for the entrees, a combination of enchiladas rojas (beef with red sauce), verdes (shredded chicken with green tomatillo sauce) and poblanas (chicken with fantastic mole sauce) can't be beat. The light, homemade flan (caramel or vanilla) is perfect for dessert.

This is a great Mexican place in Brookline. The atmosphere is authentic as well as the waitstaff. I highly recommend the sangria which has cinnamon in it, which is a nice touch. The service is great.

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).

Sol Azteca offers delicious Mexican food in a beautiful environment. The service is excellent, with hosts and waiters who genuinely cater to you. The prices are inexpensive! I've tried many different dishes in this restaurant and I've never been dissappointed. Even the pink cabbage that accompanies each dish is tasty. And the restaurant itself is beautiful, with tiled tables and walls and Mexican artwork and all around. They offer yummy drinks, too. This is the best Mexican resturant I've ever been to, and the place is simply lovely. PROS: Excellent Mexican foo, wonderful service, beautiful artwork and fair prices CONS: None
