SOL Mexican Cocina Is the Perfect Place to Spice Up Date Night
If you’re looking to impress your date, stop searching and book a table at SOL Mexican Cocina’s new Irvine location.
Although SOL Mexican Cocina is new to the Centerview neighborhood, it’s no stranger to the Orange County scene. This marks the fifth location for SoCal’s beloved Baja-inspired restaurant, and it’s already making waves with its size and style. According to Randy Sharpe, CEO of Xperience Restaurant Group, this new venue is bigger—and better—than any before it. Fans can expect all the signature flavors they love, now served in a space that takes things up a notch.
“This is our biggest SOL location to date. With multiple spaces to host fun, lively gatherings, we’re able to truly bring SOL’s mission to life within the restaurant space,” Sharpe says. SOL Mexican Cocina Irvine
SOL was created to share the best of coastal Baja Mexico, where you can sip on hand-crafted margaritas, feast on wood-grilled tacos and enjoy live entertainment. Escape to SOL and get away without going away. This elevated eatery serves an eclectic menu of seasonal dishes made fresh daily—including all 12 salsa varieties—using locally sourced ingredients.
From their award-winning Taco Vampiro to the spicy “popcorn” cauliflower taco with coconut-avocado salsa, SOL’s menu has it all. There’s something flavorful for every palate, whether you’re craving heat, crunch, or bold Baja-inspired bites. Looking to turn up the romance on date night? Don’t skip the grilled sweet corn—it’s smoky, shareable, and seriously crave-worthy. It is served tableside and the light smoky flavor is great for a starter.
As for drinks, the Besos De Muerte is a must.
Made with Del Maguey Vida mezcal, elderflower liqueur, lemon juice and bitters, the smoky and floral contrast offers a uniquely refreshing cocktail. It’s no surprise that even popular dating app Bumble—in partnership with OpenTable—voted SOL one of the best date-night spots in Southern California. But if you don’t have a special someone to share an exciting evening with, don’t worry: their incredible cocktail menu is ideal for any type of celebration!
Along with memorable hand-crafted margaritas, there’s more than 80 types of tequilas and mezcals to choose from at SOL. Don’t miss their new cocktail and martini selection, especially their signature Martini Del SOL.
You can expect the love to be served up year-round at SOL’s newest Irvine location. “For us, SOL Irvine feels like a homecoming, in that we get to connect with our local fan base and serve even more guests,” says Sharpe.
