a plate of food on a table
Diane H.

This place had terrible burritos covered in disgusting , white, creamed, cheese sauce, not to mention it was the tiniest burrito I've ever had. It was on a taco sized tortilla, and not folded into a burrito, just rolled over. Their fried ice cream had stale corn flakes on it, and was freezer burned, one of the worst I've experienced.

Pitcher of Frozen margarita for $10. Done!

Very friendly place and great specials on drinks and pitchers. Even on the weekend! Chips were warm and salsa seemed well blended. I had the Enchilada Mexicanas and everything was quick and tasted good. I'll be back again soon now that I've found a close place to home to get some great Mexican flavors.

El Sombrero has the best chimichangas!!

Our favorite Mexican restaurant hands down! I travel all over the US and occasionally to Mexico and their food is excellent. Service is quick and friendly. Their Chimichanga's are amazing! Our favorite. Decor is not the best but the owners take great pride in their food and service. We are always trying new places, but end up coming back to our favorite-El Som!

This is really a step above most Mexican restaurants. The margaritas, though, are nearly non-alcoholic.

Food was okay, nothing very exciting. The margaritas were okay not fresh and mix tasting. Service was slow for not being very busy.

Decent food. Very salty meat. They are way under staffed. Prices are reasonable.

Best mexican around and great service, can be slow but it's a family business so you'll have to give alfredo and everyone a chance.

Went with my wife, parking is much easier than I made it. Heads up they have lots parking in back…read moreas well as across the street. Don't be me, don't go on a Friday night and try to get street parking. Plus parking in the back would have been way easier because they have a desk for seating right off the back. I like the layout, it's open, but not open. Really cool. My wife and I sat in a booth that was tucked in by the kitchen. It was perfect. You could hear the fun and conversations people were having, but you had your own spot. We liked it :) I looked at the menu before we went so I knew what I was in for and I was all for it. I didn't tell my wife but knew she would love it, so I padded in some extra time for her to look. Look at the menu before you go, just glance, it's big..but not crazy. The food, awesome! Lots of it. I had a chimi because that's what I do lol. (Long story, my mom loved them...so no matter how amazing the menu...it's what I do. Sorry Yelp lol) But the food was amazing, and hot, and quicker than we would have expected. So all the things were perfect for us. Price was just fine. You can go whatever direction with the menu your pocket desires really. We added another entre and split it, so we went over what we normally do. But hey, date night :) Overall we loved it, reminded us of Carlos O Kelley's in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. We lived at that place. This place is almost it's twin and we are thrilled. And, which shouldn't be a side note, the staff was amazing. Didn't press us, and was just really nice. Thanks everyone, excited to come back!

If you want above average Mexican food, with friendly service and a clean and comfortable…read moreatmosphere, this place will satisfy.
