 Sol Cocina Restaurant Review: Rather than serving up free chips and salsa, Sol Cocina guests are given whole tostada rounds with a unique bean and pine nut dipping sauce. Handmade cocktails are worth imbibing, like the cucumber jalapeño margarita or the ginger tangerine martini. Many come for the customizable and fresh guacamole, but those with sensitive palates may want to steer clear of the way-too-spicy jalapeños with your guac. The four kinds of “street” tacos --- beef, pork, chicken and fish --- are satisfying enough. Chef Deborah Schneider’s small-plate appetizers are truly tiny, but the refreshing ceviche and spicy toritos (roasted yellow chilies stuffed with garlic shrimp and Oaxacan cheese) are rather good. Entrées such as the Kobe-style skirt steak with cilantro sauce and the slow-roasted pork in banana leaves serviceably stretch the conventions of typical Mexican food. The late-night bar menu after 10 p.m. attracts a good-looking crowd of Newport Beach couples and singles. |
