The Mexican place right across from the hotel—we were starving and just walked right in.
Turned out it was Taco Tuesday: 2 for $10.
The steak taco with homemade blue corn tortillas was delicious.
Salsa and chips were on the house.
Mar Y Tierra is just like an enchilada—
filled with cheese, steak, and bean sauce. Highly recommended.
The margarita was pretty good too.

Wandered in from the pier after looking at close restaurants with great Google reviews. Oscar made my meal really enjoyable. He made a delicious Oaxacan Old Fashioned (hint: ask for a Tajin rim) and the tacos were delicious. Highly recommend for friendly staff, delicious tacos (although this is NOT a taco place), and yummy drinks!

The best place with Mexican cuisine I know! The atmosphere is very nice and I just enjoy being here and sitting inside and outside. Very friendly staff, they’re very kind and cool! Food is really good too! The pulpo a las brasas (the one that is on the picture) is what you MUST TRY! The best octopus I’ve ever had. Also, the shrimp tacos are very moisturized and delicious. In addition to the regular menu, the churros from the deserts is really tasty as well! Food looks exactly just like on the pictures from the menu.
Overall, I would definitely recommend this place and come back again!

Wonderful Happy Hour Dishes at Sol Agave. More amazing is the staff, service, and beautiful environment. We had an amazing Saturday stop there.

Soul-agave is a well run professional operation with good service, good food, and a pleasant ambience with nicely spaced tables. The food is pretty good, especially considering that this is a bit of a chain operation. The chips are fresh thin and crispy. Guacamole is flavorful and not too onion-y. We had a quesadilla with a variation of steak inside and it was quite good. Both the quality of the quesadilla and the steak were admirable. Our spinach enchiladas were equally good with a nice cream sauce. Dessert very flavorful. All in all, quite good and a reliable option especially for small groups even if the cost is just a bit pricey for what you get.

Came in late, having just travelled from the East Coast of Canada and was looking for some good sit down food and stumbled upon this place a few minutes walk from my hotel.
The staff had just closed the kitchen but immediately said they could still whip me and my partner up something. We ordered the Ceviche, the Tacos Del La Mar, and the Sirloin. The food was amazing! And the margarita and Mojito were perfect.
The staff stopped by and were very attentive, would definitely recommend.

Ordered takeout for dinner from Sol Agave, which is right across the street from our hotel this visit. The restaurant is beautiful inside, the service at the bar was excellent, and most importantly, the food here was fantastic. We absolutely loved the bean dip that comes along with the chips and salsa!

Best food I had during my visit to Santa Monica from Texas. Everything was outstanding from start to finish. Eric behind the bar was on it, mixing fantastic margaritas, especially the skinny margarita, which was incredible.
Luis, the manager, made it a point to personally welcome me and stop by to chat, which really elevated the experience. You can tell the whole staff works together as a true team. The service was impeccable.
The filet mignon enchiladas were unreal. I honestly cannot say I have ever had better enchiladas anywhere. Sol-Agave is a must visit and easily one of the highlights of my trip.
Highly recommend!

Everything is soo good. You can’t go wrong with any dish. Every time we come to Santa Monica, we have to stop in. The food, service, music, vibe is just that, A Vibe. Restaurant is in the heart of everything, walking distance from the beach and pier. One thing about this place is it’s consistency. I come maybe twice a year and its always a stellar time.
