I wanted to like SOL. I really did. I saw mixed reviews online but decided that it would be worth a try.
I was quite underwhelmed.
The location is beautiful and conveniently located across from Charlotte Premium Outlets. The bar is well stocked with a great variety of tequilas (afterall is a tequila bar). This where my excitement ends.
Service
Our waiter seemed quite rushed...almost unpleasant. We arrived around 8:45 pm and the restaurant closes at 11 pm. So, I could not understand the rush. Within a period of 10 minutes, the waiter asked us 4 times if we needed more time. I was greatly annoyed. When asked for a recommendation, he proceeded to inform me that he had not tried many options on the menu...which should have been a red flag.
Food & Drinks
I ordered a strawberry margarita which looked really pretty but was almost too sweet to consume. It tasted like a combination of strawberry syrup and lime juice. Yet, my date's tequila sunrise was heavy on the tequila and quite light on everything else.
I ordered the margarita shrimp tacos with a side of roasted veggies. The veggies were great but the tacos left much to be desired. The corn tortilla was raw and cold. The shrimp had portions of shell still attached and the version of crema tasted like regular sour cream. It also included cut iceberg lettuce which is just a personal food pet peeve of mine. I prefer shredded... so no points deducted there. I was very underwhelmed.
First impressions are everything. I don't consider 37Sol worth another visit.
