• Gastro Pub • Palm Desert
Booked 2 times today
We are a gastropub specializing in Cuban and Peruvian flavors. While still adhering to age old family recipes, we strive to be innovative and open minded, just as our ancestors were when these flavors were first imagined. Here at BaBaLoo, we want to take on this multicultural challenge by providing the most authentic dining experience that Lake Havasu City and Palm Desert have to offer. Cuba and Peru are rich in history, and nothing tells that tale better than their diverse flavor combinations. We take ideas from cuisines around the world; Chinese, Japanese, Spanish, Caribbean, and African flavors have heavily influenced Cuban and Peruvian food throughout history.

    We went for a late lunch and sat on the patio. Perhaps when there are more people it is a great patio, but we were the only ones there so aesthetically wasn't that pleasing. Having said that, it certainly was quiet, the food was excellent and our server was wonderful. The inside restaurant is beautifully decorated. Would highly recommend and would definitely go back!

    We had an absolutely amazing experience at Sol Y Sombra! Our group of six decided to sample a variety of tapas—I think we might have ordered the entire menu—and every single dish was fantastic. The flavors were incredible, and each plate was a work of art. The staff was absolutely outstanding— Super friendly, and knowledgeable. And the chef? Wow! Her talent truly shines in every dish. I can’t say enough about this place. The atmosphere, the food, the service—everything was perfection. Highly recommend to anyone looking for an unforgettable hidden gem of a dining experience.
