Solario Cantina: Reviews & Ratings

We went for dinner here during our stay at Gaylord Opryland. The place is big and has a great ambience. You have order ahead of sitting. There was a big line ahead of us but the lady at the counter was fast in her work. We ordered vegan tacos and chicken burrito as our entrees and tortilla chips and street corn as appetizer. The menu was over expensive, May be because it is inside the resort. They had a limited menu. The quantity of the food was good and service was ok too. I was satisfied with finding vegetarian items on their small menu, so no complains.

We always like eating here when we stay at the Gaylord. We ate around 7:00. We walked up and they sat us down right away. The food was very good and nice sized servings. Our waitress was a bit slow but friendly, she had another larger group she was taking care of. They do not take cash

Had an early dinner while attending a conference. Sat at the bar. Great service, originally gave me a 20-25 min wait despite an empty restaurant but maybe they didn’t have a full shift in yet. Food was great. Delicious tacos, shrimp had a bit of heat but not too much. Mexican street corn was very good. Salsa was up there with some of the best I’ve ever had! Good cocktails. Very good meal!!

The opulence & grandeur of the Opryland Resort is unmatched. Having this restaurant nestled right in there is giving perfect views. My nachos were seasoned well and not hot like I anticipated they would be. We did lunch here and my colleague did rave about her Torta sandwich. Our waitress was sweet & pleasant. We had a great lunch here.

We came here because we thought the wait would be short and it was cheaper than other places at the Gaylord. We made a reservation and waited long enough for me to see the low rating and rough reviews. I was worried! They exceeded all my expectations. I was annoyed to have to pay for chips and salsa but then the Salsa Roja was exceptional! We ordered the barbacoa burrito and the chicken enchiladas for our entrees. Both were phenomenal. The barbacoa meat was moist and flavorful. The chicken enchiladas were put together really well. The rice and charro beans... Oh so good! Especially the charro beans. Overall just a great experience. They mentioned having a new menu recently. If you're turned off by some of the other reviews, I'd say give it a try. It's probably the best deal at the Gaylord and was genuinely good Mexican food. I'm honestly a snob with Mexican food because there's a lot of really good authentic stuff where I'm from in the southwest. Anyway, I'll get off my keyboard and wish you a good night.

The food was delicious the wait time and server was the downside of the experience. We were a group of 9 that arrived at 6:30 and we didn’t get seated until 7:45, ordered food shortly after and it didn’t arrive until close to 9:30 according the the photo of the food. The food definitely mad up for the madness.

Celebrated me and my wife’s 5 year anniversary here and what a great decision that was. Chips and Salsa were really good. The Al Pastor Shrimp was good. The dessert was amazing. Our server was the best! Ask for Abby if you want a great service!
