Mexican restaurant closes after 10 years in Cherry Creek

The sun has set for SOL Mexican Cocina.

The Mexican spot at 200 Columbine St. in Cherry Creek has shuttered, according to a sign posted on its door.

“Due to lease expiration, SOL has permanently closed,” the sign reads.

The 7,500-square-foot eatery opened in 2016 and was run by California-based Xperience Restaurant Group.

Chris Lankford, the group’s regional director of operations, declined to comment, referring BusinessDen to a spokeswoman.

She did not respond to an email by the time of publication.

Building developer Western Development Group, whose phone number was also listed on the sign, also did not respond to a request for comment. The company sold the building in 2021 to Crescent Real Estate for $82.8 million, property records show.

SOL’s website still shows three locations in California and one in Scottsdale, Ariz. It is known for its Baja-style Mexican food.
