Review of 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.
