This place was great! I had the chicken tortilla soup, which was easily the best I ever had – absolutely fantastic! I also had the Viva Mexico Burrito, which was also excellent. The service was quick, and extremely friendly and welcoming. I had a great experience here, and the prices are very reasonable considering the location and the generous potion sizes.

Maria Sol, the Mexican restaurant at the end of the Santa Monica Pier is excellent. There’s an excellent ramp leading up to the restaurant from the Deck of the Pier. I needed it, and I used it.
I thouroughly enjoyed the guacamole prepared at the table. The rest of our meals were equally delicious.

Just what we were looking for! Me and my teenage sons just wanted somewhere to sit in the gorgeous setting sun with some cold drinks. If you sit in the rear deck, you can catch the sunset.
The margarita was very nice and even the small is quite large. We got the nachos with guacamole and carne asada which was really good and filling, even for 3 people (we were only after an appetizer to keep us going in between meals).
Thank you to our wonderful server Gustavo!!

We weren’t expecting much from a restaurant located in the very touristy area of Santa Monica Pier, so we walked in with some skepticism. But Maria Sol turned out to be a delightful surprise.
The prices were reasonable for this location and the portions were generous. We left full and happy, especially after enjoying the Viva Mexico burrito, which was packed with flavor and easily the highlight of our meal.
The service was friendly and efficient. Our server made us feel welcome and refills arrived quickly without us having to ask.
If you’re exploring the pier and craving good Mexican food with a view, Maria Sol is worth a stop.

We were so excited to find a great place to eat outside and watch the sunset. Sunday evening and they weren’t too busy. We were seated as soon as we got there. The hostess worked with us to sit us at the perfect table.
The chips and salsa, were great, but they are $5 & come with two salsas. I loved the verde. Sodas are $6.50 a piece and come with free refills.
I ordered the Sombrero Salad and it was awesome! Lots of sour cream and guac, good chicken, and delicious cotjia cheese. I also added a little bit of the verde salsa for a kick.
My son ordered the Tacos Durados, with chicken, and asked for them with only cheese. They came out with lettuce and tomatoes, but our server quickly took the plate back and within a few minutes he had plain tacos with only cheese. He also said the rice was really good.
We would definitely come back here! The view is AMAZING and it’s a really cute property. Cheers!

Once again….a place I wish I had available in my hometown!!! The service, food, and atmosphere were all AMAZING!!! I had the chicken fajitas, with a Pina colada, and churros. My husband had the Carne Asada wet burrito and chocolate cake. Together we had endless chips and salsa….all of it was amazing and filling!!! Expect to pay $40 – $50 a person for an appetizer, meal, drink, and dessert…and it’s well worth it and average for the area.
