FORT MYERS BEACH, FL – Sol Tequila, a new coastal Mexican restaurant from owners and couple Lorena Dorado and Ivan Plascencia, is targeting a late December or early January opening at 1661 Estero Blvd, Ste 11-14, Fort Myers Beach, FL 33931.

What to Expect

Dorado said Sol Tequila will occupy the former Mr. Tequila space and will offer indoor and outdoor seating for up to 199 guests.

“The concept is Mexican cuisine inspired by the coast of Mexico, so it will have a beach vibe,” Dorado told Business Debut.

Dorado said the menu will center on Mexican staples with a few chef-driven house creations.

“There will be all kinds of fajitas, including a seafood fajitas,” Dorado told Business Debut. She shared that some dishes will be served in molcajete dishes.

Tacos will include chorizo tacos and shrimp tacos, along with Sol Tequila’s own combinations, burritos, and enchiladas.

"We're going to have everything for different tastes,” Dorado said.
