\"\"Solita Tacos and Margaritas Mexican restaurant is preparing to make a move to a prominent location off of Ocean Boulevard in Downtown Long Beach later next year.<\/p>\n

The restaurant posted five new job openings on Sept. 22 to staff the new location<\/a> that will be taking over the large restaurant that was once the home of Rock Bottom Brewery.<\/p>\n

The brewery closed permanently<\/a>, becoming one of the first major casualties of the pandemic’s impact on Long Beach’s restaurant scene.<\/p>\n

Xperience CEO Randy Sharpe said the move was to take advantage of Long Beach’s “up-and-coming culinary scene,” according to the Orange County Register<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Xperience Restaurant Group owns Solita as well as eight other brands, including El Torito and Acapulco Restaurant and Cantina. The company already has locations in Huntington Beach and Valencia.<\/p>\n

Solita offers Mexican street tacos, classic Mexican dishes, sweets and a wide selection of mezcal and tequila. The restaurant pulls inspiration from Baja California’s beach-side casual style with fire pits, open bars and outdoor dining.<\/p>\n

The prices vary from $8 to $9 for taco plates to $14 to $12 for gourmet street-style tacos.<\/p>\n

Weekend brunch is offered as well as Taco and Tequila Tuesday specials.<\/p>\n

The restaurant is expected to open in the spring of 2022.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
