Cantina del Sol

Great new spot. Personally, I think a vast improvement to the previous tenant, with better quality food and drinks and more seating for smaller groups (and umbrellas!) A little pricey but you're paying for the rooftop vibe and I think it's worth it. Other than Captain Black's, there aren't really any other comparable options in the neighborhood. I also appreciated that although there was a DJ, they didn't have the speakers on the far end of the roof turned up so it wasn't too loud while we were eating dinner. We went there on day 2 of them being open - I got the chard + caramelized onion quesadilla and prickly pear margarita and both were delicious. Staff was friendly (and very open to feedback!) and everything came out quickly. Looking forward to coming back here more regularly over the summer.

I cannot express how excited I was to hear that the rooftop bar was not only being reopened, but that it was being reopened by the group behind Rumba, one of the best cocktail bars in the city. It DID NOT disappoint!!! We got a taco plate, chips and guac, nachos with birria, a lime margarita, and the strawberry and mango slushies. Absolutely everything was excellent. Not cheap, but the previous location wasn't any cheaper, and it's all worth the price. The nachos came with an insane amount of birria!! Just to give some criticism so that you know I'm not a paid shill: the rice that came on the taco plate was undercooked, and had some hard grains that stuck in my teeth.

Awesome experience, great drinks, good food, nice atmosphere, and the people that work here are really friendly. I will definitely come back.

I used to come to this placed before the change of ownership and Im sad to say I felt robbed. The drink was super small, tasted like red syrup, water soda, very little tequila with a rim of salt. It costed 20 bucks with a 20% service charge included. It supposed to be a prickle pear margarita! Super dissatisfied. Never coming again :(

Cantina del Sol a sister restaurant to Agua Verde in U district. Friendly staff, tasty tacos (and burritos), and delicious drinks on the heart of Cap Hill.

20% automatic gratuity at a restaurant where you don't get service? Absolutely asinine. You pick your own table, order the food through an app, and someone brings it out. No one asked us if we needed anything, no one asked us how the food was. These restaurants better cool down with this auto gratuity stuff, maybe pay your workers a livable wage so you don't have to swindle customers out a tip for service that doesn't exist. Food and drinks are mad over priced, bathroom is a literal out house that's super tiny. Will never be going back, everything looks like it's bought from Amazon. The 20% auto gratuity was infuriating to see when you don't get sit down service, I'm sure this place will close down rather quickly. Edit: seeing the owners fight for their lives in the bad reviews is funny as hell. Batch cocktails being the same price as freshly made is nonsense. These owners clearly have no idea what they are doing and refuse to acknowledge what they're doing wrong. Also the music was WAY too loud

The food here is terrible. Wow. Didn’t think tacos could be made so poorly. Dry and flavor and so expensive! The vibe is definitely great and service was okay. Definitely a place to come have a beer on a hot day, but can’t believe the food is so bad.

Sadly the experience wasn’t that great for the steep prices you have to pay.. You seat yourself and order directly on a QR code. $15 margaritas come out in small plastic cups. A $6 chips and salsa came in a brown paper bag with salsas in plastic containers, including paper and plastic dishes and cutlery. Also be prepared to pay for the required 20% tip included in the bill for all purchases. If you are looking for a premium priced “rooftop” experience, this may not be it.

I stopped in on a lovely, warm day. The second floor deck is great. Lots of space and thankfully good shade cover so it didn't get too hot. You order via a QR code and they bring out the food and drinks. They include a 20% gratuity/service fee. The drinks were delicious and strong! We got the chips and guacamole they also comes with salsa. It was tasty.

Lovely rooftop bar - wonderful service - didn't eat any food, but the drinks were lovely.

Restaurants charge what they need to for their food/beverage. I've never minded tipping anywhere, gladly will give a tip for great service. But to charge 20% more on top of bill and that money not go directly to the server is absurd. Cool spot though, rooftop is nice, music is good. EDIT: SERVERS SPECIFICALLY TOLD ME THEY DONT SEE THE 20%

Small overprice weak margaritas flavorless nachos plus 20% gratuity included to my bill when you order from a QR code its crazy . You have to get up and grab utensils and napkins your self . Never coming back and Not recommended .

Excited that this rooftop has re-opened, when we went it was extremely packed on their first week. You order and pay through QR code and then they bring it to you. Overall service was nice and quick, thought it was odd they didn't check my ID. The drinks and the food and chips were all good, didn't see anything amazing. The drinks were about 16 dollars for a small cup which I thought was high and they have an automatic 20% service fee which is also high especially considering you order thru a QR code. Overall I thought the spot was alright but curious to see how it goes.

Came here on the 4th and had a great time! Would highly recommend on a sunny day, the rooftop is awesome. We got the regular margaritas and they were very good!

This rooftop spot is a hidden gem in capitol hill! The food and drinks were delicious, the service was great, and the atmosphere is cozy but hip and fun. Will definitely be back!
