Reviews for ALCE 101 in Solana Beach, CA
Definitely 4.5 stars!!!! Awesome first time experience. Food, great. Staff, great. Location, great. The four of us shared two... tapas - we each had a main course - and we shared two desserts. We ate everything. You have to try the cornbread. I can't sayit's overly innovative or inspired - but it's darn tasty - and a great start to some cool options. Can't wait to go back. Read more
After hearing amazing things about Alce 101, I decided to book a reservation for my graduation dinner. Best decision EVER! It... was one of the most extraordinary food experiences my entire family has had. The establishment is beautiful, the food consistsof unique and delicious flavors, and the service has by far been the best we have ever received. Alce 101 can be described as arestaurant managed by a team. Their chef Pablo, alongside their staff members, and owner Brad created an experience we willnever forget. Chef Pablo created delicious appetizers for us and made sure to come out and go over the dish. His dedication andattentiveness toward us was incomparable. He is a master at what we does and we are so happy we got to meet him. The entirestaff made us feel welcome and cared for. There is no doubt we will continue coming to this wonderful establishment andreferring it to all of our family and friends. Thank you for making such an important day so memorable. Sincerely, thePascal-Tomarevski family Read more
Everything was pretty excellent. My friend got the steak and it was a bit over cooked but my salmon and the rest of the meal was... pretty fantastic which is why I gave it 4 stars. The drinks are pretty awesome, though on the pricey side. I would definitely goback here and try more the things. The cornbread isn?t pictures but is a must have. Read more
Tacos. Margs. Regular Ambiance for brunch. This restaurant has the typical Mexican foods you?d find in all restaurants but... offers a twist of flavor with every meal. However, we thought the food was missing some flavor, the fish taco had no specialflavor unless you add chipotle but then all flavor is the chipotle. The street tacos where ok but again the protein missingflavor, not well prepared. The burrata was super super fresh and saved the rating haha. Their speciality drinks stand outamongst its competitors. Ambiance and decor make it a pleasant brunch spot but supposedly it?s a better place for dinner! Read more

Really enjoyed this place! I'm a big fan of tequila and mezcal and they had wonderful craft cocktails featuring both! I loved... the high-end Mexican entrees, as well as the live music playing out front on this Friday evening. The place was packed and theyhave multiple seating options outside as well as some airy ones inside. our server was patient with all of my drink questions,and happily had them remake one when it was made incorrectly. Service was great, and the ambiance was fun! I will definitely beback! Read more
Drinks are fantastic. Food came out cold, but was still good. I'd like to try a few other things on the menu.
