SOL Mexican Cocina Happy Hour at a glance
SOL Mexican Cocina lists weekday Happy Hour from 3–6 p.m. at both its Irvine and Scottsdale locations. The menu is available in the Cantina and on the Patio. Irvine has an additional late-night window from 8 p.m. to close, Sunday through Thursday. Scottsdale’s local page does not list late-night Happy Hour, so do not assume that the Irvine schedule applies in Arizona.
| Location | Regular Happy Hour | Late-night Happy Hour | Address |
| Irvine, California | Monday–Friday, 3–6 p.m. | Sunday–Thursday, 8 p.m.–close | 1910 Main St, Irvine, CA 92614 |
| Scottsdale, Arizona | Monday–Friday, 3–6 p.m. | Not listed on local page | 15323 N Scottsdale Rd, Scottsdale, AZ 85254 |
One general Happy Hour page says Monday–Friday. A second promotion page on the same official site says Monday and Wednesday–Friday, leaving Tuesday out. However, both the Irvine and Scottsdale location menu pages list Monday–Friday. This guide uses those location-specific pages for these two restaurants. For other SOL Mexican Cocina locations, check the local menu or call before making a trip.
What is on the SOL Mexican Cocina Happy Hour menu?
The local Happy Hour menu shows small plates and drinks with prices. Food options include a Street Taco for $4, Grilled Sweet Corn for $6, Firecracker Quesadilla for $7, two Shrimp Taquitos for $7, Animal Taco for $9, and Hot & Raw Ceviche for $13. The menu describes the ceviche with fresh citrus, habaneros, tropical fruit, sweet potato and beet chips.
Drink options include a $5 12-ounce beer, $7 glass of house wine, $8 SOL Margarita, $10 Cucumber Jalapeño Margarita, and $10 Watermelon Hibiscus Margarita. The SOL Margarita comes frozen or on the rocks. These are the posted Happy Hour menu prices for Irvine and Scottsdale as viewed on October 22, 2026. Confirm the menu at your selected location in case prices or choices change.

Food specials and a fair price comparison
A $4 Street Taco is the lowest-priced food item on the listed Happy Hour menu. Choose chicken, carnitas, beer-battered fish, or black bean and sweet potato. The $6 grilled sweet corn and $7 Firecracker Quesadilla add a bit more for a shared snack. The Happy Hour menu does not state the quesadilla’s serving size, so treat the generated food image below as an illustration, not a guarantee of portion.

Price comparison 2: Scottsdale food
| Food item | Regular Scottsdale price | Happy Hour price | Savings | Portion / comparison note |
| Shrimp Taquitos | $17 for 4; equivalent $8.50 for 2 | $7 for 2 | $1.50 per 2, if preparation is the same | The Happy Hour menu specifies two; regular menu lists four |
| Grilled “Esquites” / Grilled Sweet Corn | $11 | $6 | Not confirmed | Names differ; descriptions share corn, butter, lime, cotija, and chipotle; sizes are not stated |
| Hot & Raw Tropical Ceviche / Hot & Raw Ceviche | $23 | $13 | Not confirmed | Regular item includes tropical fruit; Happy Hour serving size is not listed |
The taquito comparison adjusts the regular four-piece price to the two-piece Happy Hour serving: half of $17 is $8.50, compared with $7. This suggests a $1.50 difference if the preparation and piece size match. The menu does not promise that they are identical, so use that as a price comparison, not a guaranteed saving. For the other dishes, the item names or portion sizes differ; no exact savings claim is made.
What does a sample Happy Hour order cost?
At the posted Scottsdale Happy Hour prices, one $4 Street Taco with an $8 SOL Margarita comes to $12 before tax and tip. It is a snack-and-drink example, not a full meal. On Taco Tuesday, the $15 Baja Bundle includes two Street Tacos and one SOL House Margarita. The two offers have different food and prices, so compare the bundle based on what you want rather than assuming they have matching portions.
The standard Scottsdale menu lists three-taco plates for $19–$24, depending on the filling. That is a fuller meal than the single $4 Street Taco shown on the Happy Hour menu. The Happy Hour page does not mention sides or a plate-sized serving, so do not multiply the deal price by three and treat it as the same order.
Is SOL Mexican Cocina Happy Hour a good fit?
This deal is a good option if you want a lower-cost appetizer or a margarita before dinner. The prices are easy to scan, but most Happy Hour food portions are not defined online. If you want a full meal, compare the Happy Hour menu with the standard menu and ask about portion size before ordering. Both featured locations limit Happy Hour to the Cantina and Patio.
The Irvine late-night window gives you another chance for a deal after dinner, but it runs only Sunday through Thursday from 8 p.m. until closing. Irvine closes at 10 p.m. every day according to its official location page, so the posted late-night period is two hours there. Scottsdale closes at 10 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and 11 p.m. Friday and Saturday, but its official page does not list late-night Happy Hour.

Taco Tuesday and Mexican brunch
SOL’s Taco & Tequila Tuesday is a separate offer from Happy Hour. It runs Tuesday from 3 p.m. to close at the two featured locations. The Baja Bundle includes two street tacos and one SOL House Margarita for $15. Other food and drink specials start at $6, and live music begins at 6 p.m. The Baja Bundle is not available at the New York location.
If your search is for Mexican breakfast near me, SOL’s weekend brunch may fit better than Happy Hour. Irvine lists all-you-can-eat brunch Sunday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Scottsdale lists weekend brunch Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Check the location’s current brunch menu and price before visiting.
