Sol y Mar is a hidden gem located along the beautiful Boulevard Turistico Malecon in Progreso, Mexico. It specializes in seafood and offers diners a casual, welcoming atmosphere that combines warmth with genuine culinary delights. Customers rave about the freshness of the dishes, with one guest particularly highlighting the shrimp and snail ceviche as a must-try. The portion sizes are generous and come at surprisingly reasonable prices, making it an excellent choice for both couples and families. The drinks, such as micheladas and margaritas, pair perfectly with the meals, enhancing the overall dining experience.
One recurring theme in reviews is the friendly service that accompanies the meal, often noted to be both fast and accommodating. Additionally, the restaurant's clean environment and unique decor—especially the notorious DISCO BANO—add an unexpected twist to the dining experience. Despite some updates to their location, patrons encourage others to seek them out for unforgettable seafood that’s well worth the visit. Whether it's the fresh fish dishes or the vibrant atmosphere, Sol y Mar truly captures the essence of coastal dining in Mexico.

My wife and I wanted to go to a restaurant off the boardwalk and this was the perfect place. Great tasting fresh food and a down to earth atmosphere. Friendly service as well!

Cash only! This place was so good. Came highly recommended by many. We ordered michelada, margarita, guacamole, coconut fish and fish sol y mar. Portions are huge and the prices are not high. Service was fast and everything was very clean. So much to look at here as well while you wait for the food to be freshly prepared. Also, DISCO BANO!

THEY MOVED!!!! THEY'RE LOCATED IN THE ALLEY NEXT TO CHEDRAUI. My husband and I went for lunch. We enjoyed it so much last time but the liason was closed. We didn't see the sign. It's posted in a tree!!!! We got ceviche elsewhere and it was horrible! We were walking back through the area and saw the sign!!! It's in the alley next to the old location! We're going tomorrow.

We had the shrimp and snail ceviche and let me tell you ... OMG! This place was recommended by a local pharmacist which I said if it's no good ... I'm coming back to haunt her. She said no it is good and bham!! It is soo good 1/2 Kg for 12 USD! Service was fast and so kind. This place has wifi as well. I am hooked.

Best fish and seafood restaurant in Progresso. Fresh grilled fish, grilled shrimps, excellent salad and rice. Very nice presentation. The price is extremely reasonable for what we ordered. The Jamaica drink was soooo good!

Gabriel and the rest of the staff took wonderful care of us, and the food was some of the BEST we’ve ever had! The coconut shrimp was out of this world. It’s a 5 minute walk from the free shuttle drop off. If you’re cruising to Progresso, check out this spot!

Definitely one of the better restaurants in Progreso, though it's never been busy when I've visited. Perhaps one of the better kept secrets in Progreso. Prices are reasonable, food is excellent.
