SOL Mexican Cocina

I was in Scottsdale with my family craving Mexican food. We decided to give this place a chance because it looked nice and was nearby. As soon as we walked in the hostess had an attitude with us. When she took us to our table and gave us the menus she gave us the menus with attitude and basically shoved them into our hands. The gluten free options are very very limited. Yes, they have a “gluten friendly” menu, but the options are still limited. I got the chicken tacos with corn tortillas, rice and a watermelon margarita. The chicken tacos were delicious and a safe food options for celiacs like myself, but the rice was not it. I told our server I was allergic to onions and there were still onions in the rice. Thankfully I caught that, stopped eating the rice and did not react badly, but that is a major allergen that was missed. The watermelon margarita was not that great either. It was chunky and sour. My family got chicken tacos, house margaritas and the birthday dessert as well and they thought the food was just okay. Overall, the food was half/half, food allergies were missed where it could’ve ended horribly if not caught, and it did not feel very welcoming. We will not be coming back here. I do not recommend to celiacs or people with food allergies due to the fact that it might be missed or forgotten. I completely understand that accidents happen, but food allergies are a very serious matter that can end horribly.

Good food and many options. Chips are gluten free. You need to stay away from carne asada since they marinate it with beer. We had no issues and enjoyed our dinner

A fair number of options and the food was quite good. There are no markings on the menu but the servers were helpful and the manager stopped by to double check. None of the beef dishes are gluten free (cooked with beer) and same with the beans. All of the grilled chicken is gluten free and so is the rice and spicy slaw. The server informed me that the tortilla chips are corn but are cooked in a shared fryer.

I liked so much SOL, They are so prepared about gluten allergies. they welcomed us with "chips" type tacos (fabulous) and sauces all gluten-free except beans that are cooked in beer. The whole menu is gluten-free except meat (because it is marinated in beer), meat asada and burrito. One world WOW

This place was fantastic about celiac!! I was hesitant about it at first because they didn’t have a gluten-free menu but it was where the group wanted to go. However, they brought out the manager to speak with me and clarify whether it was celiac, told me about how the item was typically made with cross contaminates oils, and then let me know that they could make it separately. They seriously take amazing care!!
