Authentic coastal Mexican restaurant, SOL Mexican Cocina, is coming to serve their modern Baja mexican to the Scottsdale Quarter in March. The new Scottsdale location will be the second for the Newport Beach-based company, who opened the first in 2009.

The restaurant aims to juxtapose old world charm with modern sophistication in the 260 seat restaurant, with indoor/outdoor seating, fire pit and a bustling open-air kitchen. Menu items by Executive Chef Deborah Schneider will include Taco Vampire, Hot & Raw Ceviche, Shortribs Barbacoa, Kobe Skirt Steak and more. And plenty of vegetarian, gluten free and even vegan-friendly options will be available for the health and diet conscious. The company calls it their ‘stealth health’ approach, gearing the menu towards fresh, delicious food that happens to be low-fat and healthful – though there are plenty of indulgences to be had as well, such as the ‘Tres Pecados’ (Three Sins) – a rich dulce de leche flan with caramel, dark chocolate-almond bark and whipped cream.

Chef Schneider, dubbed the “reigning queen of San Diego chefs,” by Bon Appetit and was nominated for a 2009 James Beard Foundation Award for her second cookbook, Cooking with the Seasons at Rancho La Puerta.

SOL Mexican Cocina is set to open at the Scottsdale Quarter in March.
