Maria Sol

"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!!"

"The food was amazingly fresh and flavorful! The service was outstanding! The drinks were great! I had Ahi tuna poke on tostadas that I highly recommend!"

"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."
