One of the unique and fascinating things about visiting Newport Beach is exploring the harbor and enjoying the Dock & Dine experience at several restaurants. But you don’t have to eat inside the restaurant to enjoy the experience.  Some of the restaurants prepare a meal for you to take out on the harbor!

SOL Cocina
Calling their service SOL on a Roll, SOL Cocina’s to-go options include house-made tostadas, borracho black bean dip, chipotle tomatillo salsa, limes, chile de arbol hot sauce and salt.

Here are the five kits that can be ordered:
•Azul — build your own SOL tacos, with fresh salsas and guacamole
•Balboa — SOL’s award-winning tacos, freshly made with ceviche, guacamole, and salsas.
•Catalina — a generous spread of favorite SOL antojitos, tacos, & guacamole
•SOL Del Mar Mariscos — impeccably fresh ceviche, crudo, cocktel & favorite SOL antojitos
•Tacos SOL — build-your-own tacos with 4 choices, Vampiros, black beans, guacamole & freshly made salsas.

The kits serve between 6-10 people. Of course if you just want to order off the main menu, you can do that too.

You can add drinks to your meal like SOL’s house margaritas or ice-cold Mexican beer  If you prefer wine, SOL’s wine list is available.

Just place your order 45 minutes prior to pick up and you have your meal.  The service is available 7 days a week from 11:30am to 10pm.
