We've eaten here in the past and had fajitas and a chimichanga. They remodeled so we decided to try again. My husband had a fajita steak quesadilla and I opted for 3 side orders. A shrimp enchilada, a tamale and a crispy beef taco. Let's start with the chips and salsa. Chips thin and warm. That a bonus. Salsa was ok. Husband asked for salsa picosa twice and we never got it. His steak was boiled meat. No flavor. The server asked lots of questions for details but none of the details were met. My Tamale had no cheeee sauce that was requested. The taco had no lettuce and cheese that was requested. The shrimp enchilada was as ordered. All tasted ok. The tamale was moist so I'm counting that as a victory. Mike ordered one chile toriado (spelling) he got a full order of 4. We just rolled with it. The shrimp were a nice size and tasted pretty good. Overall the flavor was lacking today. We will return and get the chicken fajitas in hopes that their food quality did not decline with the interior changes. The decor is very modern and feels like a sports bar with lots of TVs. The colored lightbulbs over each booth are very pretty to look at, but making reading a menu impossible. We had to use the light on our phone to read the menus. read more

El Sombrero is a great Mexican restaurant located just off of the Interstate. The service is amazingly friendly and professional. My client recommended here for a lunch meeting and it was abundantly apparent that he is here frequently. It was kind of like Norm walking in Cheers. The place has a pretty good atmosphere and the food is good. I went with the Super Burrito and was impressed with it. We also started with a chorizo quest dip and while a bit salty, it was good. I would definitely recommend here. read more

Stopped by around 2:15 to catch the lunch menu. I ordered the lunch chimichanga which came with rice and beans. I asked for the ground beef instead of chunk beef and double rice/no beans. There seemed to be only one server working but he was handling the tables very well. My food came out HOT and it was soooo good. They have the best chimichanga and Mexican rice in the area to me! My pina colada was good too. I drank every drop of it. read more

We went there for dinner tonight. Normally the food is good but tonight it was awful. My Chili's relleno was cold like it came out of the freezer and the chicken made my wife sick. We may not ever go back there. read more

Great food! Great service! We always have a great time when we come here! Everyone takes care of everybody.

Always good. Great service. Nice atmosphere. Salsa Special, taco salads, nachos, tacos, all great.

Even though Covid-19 put a damper on most of our Cinco de Mayo plans, I was still determined to celebrate at home with some delicious Mexican food. I'm so glad that I decided to order from El Sombrero. I decided to call the restaurant to place my to-go order, but I received no answer the first three tries. I decided to try for a fourth time and was put on hold for about five minutes, then I was hung up on. I could hear a lot of people in the background ordering, so I figured the employee on the phone was a bit overwhelmed. Since I was still determined to get my Mexican food, I physically went to the restaurant to place my to-go order. I'm glad I decided to do that, because I was able to place my order with no problem! The food was hot, delicious, and El Sombrero is very generous with their portion sizes. I'll definitely be returning! Besides the phone issue, everything was great. read more

El Sombrero - Combination dinner: 2 chicken enchiladas, rice, and beans - Mexican Near Me - Byram, Mississippi

If I could give this place 0 stars, I would. I am highly disappointed in the overall experience. There was a mosquito in my food. Another member in my party had a mosquito in her food as well. It was disgusting. We spoke with the waiter (said his name was Jose) and he was not concerned at all. We asked to speak with the manager, who came to apologize and claimed we didn't have to pay for anything. Our appetite was definitely ruined, he took off the price of our food off but still charged us for drinks, disappointed. The staff overall are terrible. It's difficult to get their attention once you place an order. We ordered food that we never got and the food that we did receive had bugs in it. We will never support this establishment again. read more

El Sombrero - Two mosquitos in our food - Mexican Near Me - Byram, Mississippi

We were originally going to Logan's but with an hour long wait we went over to El Sombrero. No wait & very kind and attentive staff. We were seated immediately and were given chips and salsa just as fast which was great because we were very hungry! I had a house margarita (meh) and the hubby had a blue moon. For dinner I had the carnitas plate (delicious & the salsa that comes with that is unreal!! Yum!!!) rice and beans, my hubby had the fried burritos & daughter had the chicken nuggets & fries (nuggets were almost burnt ) overall a good experience and good food the place was packed (& it's huge!) with happy smiling faces so all around a good experience. read more

Very, very slow service. Took 5 min to get a drink or have anyone acknowledge my presence , only 3 min to get my food from time of order ( that was good). But finding the bartender to get check took to long. Dont have a bar for singles to sit at if you are not going to staff it. read more

Poor service and gratuity automatically added to your order,and wouldn't remove it when asked for the lousy service. Won't be going back!

My mom asked for her food with nothing but cheese our waiter tried to scrap the lettuce and tomatoes off right in front of us who TF does that my mom can't eat lettuce or tomatoes not only dose he tries to scrap of the lettuce and tomatoes in front of us he goes back to the kitchen to scrap more off and pores more cheese over to try too cover up the lettuce he couldn't get off read more

The dining area is clean and pleasant. The food is bland and average. Drinks are good.

We really like this place. Service is great. Food is very good and comes hot to the table. It has a family feel when you sit down and clean tables. read more

Been eating here for over 10 years the food is great! They will make your order however you like! I ask them to hold this and that and it's never a problem! They are usually quite busy but don't let that discourage you from eating there! The service is super fast! We never finish our cheese dip before we have all the food on the table! Last night they had a singer walking around playing the guitar and singing Christmas music witch was very nice! I definitely recommend this place! Tortillas are made fresh when you arrive! read more

Atmosphere: It was a big place. They were BUSY. We were sat in a booth, secluded from the madness. I was glad of that. They had someone making tortillas to order, in the middle of the restaurant. That was awesome. Food: I ordered the chicken fajita chimichanga with no beans. It was not anything to write home about. Wasn't impressed. Very bland. The other dish was a Chile Colorado. It was super super spicy, if you like spicy.. you will enjoy this. Service: Even though they were super busy, our server was very attentive and observant. read more

AMAZING! food is delicious. Amazing service. And the restaurant is absolutely beautiful. (I've lost my mother and father in this restuarant before) read more

Usually love this Mexican restaurant but today was awful! One server , never checked on us once! Took 30 minutes for her to notice us at the table. Was in such a hurry while two other servers stood around and did nothing . No refills . I think the value of service was been depleted now read more

After eating there tonight, I remembered why I quit going there. Ordered enchiladas with red sauce because the supposed cheese they put on there really isn't cheese. Clearly specified wanting the red sauce, and had waiter repeat it. Well they brought out the enchiladas with the cheese sauce we did not want. Waited for the waiter to come back. By the time he did, the enchiladas were cold. We told him we wanted the red sauce and not the cheese sauce. So what did he do? Instead of remaking them, he took them to the back and dumped red sauce on top of the cheese sauce and brought them right back out. When I got the bill I asked him why he did that. He admitted that was exactly what he did. How cheap is this restaurant? Pretty doggone cheap. If you make a mistake, then make it right. Trying to save a few pennies. Makes you wonder if those guidelines are coming from the management. Also, they do not give you an itemized copy of your bill. Only a summary with a place for a tip. I eat out all the time and all the other restaurants ALWAYS give an itemized bill so that You can check it for accuracy and to make sure that a tip has not already been included. I made them show me an itemized copy before I paid. This restaurant could use a heavy dose of common sense, but I really doubt that will happen. Now back to the restaurants in Jackson, Flowood, and Madison. Too bad Byram doesn't have at least one decent place to eat. read more

Great service and food!!! The hostess that take orders did a great job on making sure my order was correct.

Food was awful. Everything tastes the same. Salsa and chips were the only thing we liked. Drinks are weak

Really good Mexican! Fast, hot and good quality! Chips we're hot n fresh & salsa was very good. Only thing I thought was odd is rice and beans didn't come with my lunch plate but the healthy serving portions made up for it. Price wasn't bad but Margaritas high unless you catch them on HH!! read more

I absolutely love El Sombrero, their service, food and blue margaritas are unbeatable.

Always so good!! They meat is never nasty or chewy! We love them! The tortillas are made fresh

This place has nice atmosphere but it's dirty. Needs a major clean up. The food is hit or miss. Last time I eat there the meet looked & tastes old so I sent it back and I haven't been back, that was 4 mos ago. I'll pass on eating here. read more

Found a fly in my food TWICE. Waitress looked at me like "what do you want me to do?" Seems like they hire anybody. Won't ever be returning and I live 5 mins away. read more

I ate there with family and friends on Friday. The food was okay and at first the service was fine but that all changed when I got my check. I looked down at it and recognized the Spanish words that were written on the top of the check. This idiot waiter had written "gorda lentes" on the top of the check. That translates to "fat girl with glasses." Just to be sure I hadn't suddenly misread it, I even went to the Google translator to verify it and the ticket for my friend, which said "Bearded man with hat." Needless to say, my husband and I informed the manager (Juan) that we would not be returning to this restaurant while the manager made lame excuses like "well maybe someone put that as a joke on top of his check and it wasn't him" and he told us the waiter had gone home. He also kept saying that he treats his customers like family and we reminded him that this is not how people treat family. I asked him if he thought that all Americans are idiots and assumed that we don't speak or read other languages. He said he did not, and told me that doing so would be like me (as an American) assuming that none of the waiters at the Mexican restaurant spoke English. I quickly let him know that I work in HR and as a manager this is HIS problem. His only offer was to comp our meal that day and to have the guy "pay for your food next time you come in." I told him then and there "I wouldn't be coming back in and that as the manager that waiter shouldn't be there after calling his customers names. I don't care to have a future meal comped by a guy who doesn't even need to still be working at your restaurant after this type of issue." read more

El Sombrero - I'll never come again. We received the checks & I read Spanish very well. The waiter labeled mine as "Gorda lentes" or "fat girl w/ glasses" - Mexican Near Me - Byram, Mississippi

I love everything about this place! The staff are extremely professional and prompt with your dinner needs and request. The food is delicious to say and every time we go the staff take the time to stop and smile and talk to our babies as they love the people who work there also!

Great authentic Mexican restaurant. The outside and lobby area not impressive but once in the dining area it is very comfortable with great ambience. The food is outstanding if you like and appreciate authentic restaurants. I definently recommend this place. I travel a lot and have eaten in several Mexican restaurants in Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and California along the border and this place can easily compete against any of those restaurants. read more

customer service is terrible, food was terrible and my friends had bugs in they food, & employees talk about you loudly in front of you.

Pretty good local Mexican place. Service is always fast, but its packed on Sunday after church so be mindful if that's when you are coming because you may have to wait. Food is good and the queso is flowing. Steak fajita nachos are the way to go if you don't know what to get. read more

The food was good but the blonde young girl at the counter our meal was $29.00 and we handed the girl $100.00 well she shorted us $30.00 out of our change. she already didn't look like she wanted to be there mad at the world on her phone even slamming other customers menus down huffing and puffing with the little eye roll. The place has wonderful food but they have people that work there that shouldn't work in the public because of the attitude and stealing going on In the restaurant. read more

My husband and I LOVE this place, and all the hosts and servers!Great food and service,great atmosphere.Love,love,love! Our favorite!

Poor margarita no liquor no happy hour price given. I was over charged until I called attention at the front desk - make sure the menu price is what you pay on the final bill. Food ok nothing special. read more

We waited 30 minutes to get our drinks, then another hour for our food to come out. When it did come out it the food was burnt and very cold. The waiter was very rude. It took so long just to get our check to leave. We won't be back read more

Their waiters are so nice they actually have nice conversations with you and their food is so good if you get to know the people that work their they are so sweet read more

The food is excellent here. The chips, salsa and especially the tortillas are made in house and delicious. The fajitas are always yummy and are delivered to the table fast and sizzling. The service is sometimes lacking but the managers are great guys and very friendly. One waiter in particular is excellent. Ask for Edgar. He will take care of you. This is the only Mexican restaurant in the Jackson area that I'll eat at. read more

The layout makes for a noisy restaurant when it is busy compared to the other Mexican restaurants near by. Food is good with average portions. Average prices and average drinks. Overall a good place to eat nothing bad but nothing great either. A large building, plenty of room for large groups and I have never seen a wait at the door. read more
