Located In Long View…read more Decided to stop by to see how the Mexican spots are out here compared to California. Received complimentary chips and salsa while we waited for our food. The chips were warm and yummy, the salsa wasn't as spicy as i hoped for. I ordered the carne asada fries with steak and nacho cheese for almost 13 dollars. The old bay seasoning on the fries were a surprising taste that I enjoyed very much. I'm not used to tasting fries with old bay seasoning but I grew up on the east coast where that is a norm. So it was a nice touch. The meat was tender and flavorful and the cheese was good. What I didn't like was the portion served. It's a small plate with very large fries taking up most of the plate and about 8 chopped pieces of meat. I would have figured the cost to portion ratio would have been much different. Most carne asada fries plates in Southern California are 13 dollars and take two people to finish. I finished this by myself and was still hungry. Especially being in Texas where things are less expensive and you get more bang for your buck, this was not the case. Overall. I give it a three star review.

I thought coming to TX mexican food had to be one of those items in the list you had to have. Unfortunately this spot didn't represent. I will say they are a large restaurant, so great for a large party. They have a bar. The server was nice and attentive and the food came out quick. Most items are well priced. The apple pie, one pf the only desserts made there was delicious.

2/3 times I've gone to this establishment in the last 2 months, I have been served cold food. Red…read morefish overcooked to the point I needed a steak knife to cut it and it was cold, veggies on the side were mush. Maybe it was just an off night and I'd figured I'd give them another go. Last night I got fried shrimp and a baked potato, shrimp were cold and so was the potato. Cheese on top wasn't even melted. When you spend 30 dollars on a meal I would at least expect it to be hot and cooked properly. If you serve 200-300 people you can do the math on how many people are seeing the same thing. I will say server was great, very busy but still took the time to make sure we got what we needed. Yes I could have sent the food back but, after 10+ years in the food industry - that is one thing I don't do. It's up to the cooks to send it out right the first time. Unfortunately one of my favorite restaurants in town has become nothing more than a long wait for overpriced cold food. Will not return.

This was the…read morefirst time I ever saw a drive thru Mexican restaurant which is a great idea...but you need to make sure that you check your order before leaving out. And I think that is the issue with most drive there's because 80% of the times something either will be missing or messed up. And once you leave out most of us including myself will not go back to the restaurant to get what was missing or messed up. So my order was a few different tacos and what I really loved was that you could order margaritas to go. When I got home unfortunately there was no cheeses that's was suppose to have been included. I know traditionally cheese really is not put on tacos...but this is Tex-Mex and I wanted that cheese. Especially since I am a cheese lover. They get a solid 3.5 stars and maybe when I go inside to sit they can redeem themselves for me and I'll up the stars.

El Sombrero - ¡Muy Bueno!…read more What an incredible find! We're big fans of carnitas, and for years our favorite was Mercado Juarez in Arlington, Texas--we hadn't found anything that even came close after moving to East Texas five years ago. That changed tonight. We decided to try El Sombrero, and the carnitas were absolutely outstanding--honestly, even better than Mercado Juarez! The flavor, tenderness, and overall quality were just amazing. We can't say enough good things about this place. It's safe to say we've officially found our go-to Mexican restaurant in East Texas!
