    Good food but there was hair all thru my salsa everytime I dipped a chip in it it came bacc out with hair strings

    Lime margarita ($8.25) & Michelada w/Pacifico ($8.25) 5/11/20
    Jenni M.

    Cancer recently took the life of a dear sweet friend of mine. On Mother's Day actually. She was 36-years-young and left behind a husband and 6-year-old daughter. Of course I sobbed hard about it, then my own daughters, ages 5 and 6 asked if I was okay... and reminded me that they were hungry. Lol. Life is beautiful! Los Sombreros was on Postmates. Delivery is available for margaritas (strawberry or lime) and Micheladas (one or two beers) upon ID check. Our order came to our door really fast (5/11/20). Like only a half hour for the following: + Kid combo - cheese enchilada & fries $9.25... she gobbled most of it up + #13 flautas con guacamole (chicken or beef) $12.75... hubby really liked the moist chicken with the crispy outer fried tortilla plus they omitted the sour cream as requested + two shrimp tacos $6.75... our first-born requested these and didn't give me a chance to try them. Not a single leftover smaller-sized shrimp. + Cameron's al mojo de ajo $15.25... this was savory and comforting. The larger shrimp was a bit cold and slightly overcooked, but still good & flavorful. It came on a bed of rice, a side of seasoned fries, and a small salad along with my choice of two tortillas. Definitely recommend the flour ones, but wish I could have tried their corn too. Filling meal. + lime margarita $8.25... this came salted, sealed and frozen-style, however, it was pretty good (hubby let me try it - he's learning finally. Lol.) + Michelada $8.25 for one choice of beer. I went for Pacifico which was delivered ice cold. Two beers is also an option, but I already had my at-home tequila buzz going in honor of the aforementioned friend. Takeout is also available during the COVID-19 quarantine. Please support small businesses & family-owned restaurants like this one especially at this time.

    Chips, salsa and XX!
    John C.

    Decided to give Los Sombreros a try. Came well after dinner rush, so there were only 3 other tables with guests when I walked in. Was greeted quickly and asked for XX, when I received my cerveza it was good and cold. Placed my order for #14 plate, Chicken Mole, Beans & Rice with four tortillas. (came with also a small salad with thousand island dressing) When I received my food it was piping hot. And was pretty darn good. If you decide to try this plate, be prepared it's spicy. But I like it that way. Waitress also let me know it was spicy, which was fine. Waitress was attentive and nice. Since I went after "dinner" time/rush I have no idea how service would be then during the dinner rush. Can only comment for period I was there. The salsa that came with the chips was really good. I'm a person that never give full stars, where it may be deserved. But my theory is, there is always room for improvement. I don't have anything bad to say about Los Sombreros. My 4 stars should be 4.5, as the .5 is the part where there is always room for improvement. Restaurant was nice and clean, seats/booths were not worn. I didn't make a trip to the restroom, but from the appearance of the interior I trust the mens restroom was clean. I'll definitely go back. And try another plate. Cheers!

    Enchiladas.

    This place is terrible. Food was cold I asked the waitress if she can heat it up and gave me attitude. I kept my cool didn't want to start shit. Plus I was really hungry. When the waitress came back with my food the plate was hot and the food was still cold. I had a choice to leave but I was really hungry. So I ate the enchiladas I was so disappointed. This was the a lot to come and eat good food back in the day.

    Tacos and Chile rellenos
    Al M.

    Not only did they make me get a stomach ache but both Chile Rellenos had to be the worst tasting canned Chile Rellenos I've ever eaten. Cool literally just stuffed cheese into some canned Chiles and added some canned tomato sauce. No salt no flavor and no eggs or breading on Chile Rellenos. Wow talk about cafeteria food I can't believe how bad the food here is. Should have known when I walked in on a Friday night and nobody was eating inside. I give them an F and if you want good Mexican tacos don't come here go to Gavilan across the street. Maybe I'll try them another day but my stomach hurts so bad from their badly cooked food.

    Mojarra Frita,

    I don't care what anyone say. I love eating here. Almost everything I've tried is delicious.. I have not yet been disappointed..

    I waited a half hour for iceberg lettuce and cold dry chicken. The server Maria was especially rude. The restaurant was dead and the food took so long. Maria was nice to everyone... but only the Mexicans. Racism is real!

    Chilaquiles (green) and carne plate with rice and potatoes as sides.

They As we are a primarily chicken household, I brought my family with me to try their chicken plates and creative chicken plates. My first initial thought walking into Chicken Koop is that it has calm party vibe... the reason I say this is because through our whole time in the restaurant, they were playing a lot of my favorite songs. For a second, I thought my phone had connected to their speakers, lol! Pictured below is the Fried Chicken Sandwich and the 1/2 Roasted Chicken Plate. The Friend Chicken Sandwich was so juicy and flavorful; the breaded chicken patty had a perfect crunch to it. The 1/2 Roasted Chicken Plate was also another delicious and great choice. The chicken was cooked perfectly- again no dry chicken and it was juicy w a crunchy outer skin. The Brussels sprouts can out perfectly as well.

The breaded seasoning had a distinct flavor that felt a bit "off" for a chicken and waffles pairing. The Waffles: it has good texture and taste. Seating: There are both indoor and outdoor seating options, and the bar is partially outdoors. Outdoor Vibe: The outdoor area is covered, but keep in mind there is no AC, so it can get quite warm. I'm glad I checked it off the list, but I didn't leave feeling like I needed to return.

Very common dish but Fatima's grill knocks it out of the park somehow. Idk how but he did. The shawarma fries also packs a lot of flavor and highly recommend. The GS fries were good but wish I got a little more shrimp. This place is not the cheapest but definitely get your money's worth in quantity and quality.

The restaurant was fairly empty when we arrived. We ordered gorditas, guacamole, and nachos. I had a margarita, and my friend enjoyed her nachos with a refreshing cucumber drink.

The chorizo had a delightful kick - a pleasant spice, not overpowering. The mushroom "meat" was fantastic! The guacamole was perfect, and I appreciated the NO tomatoes. I didn't try the nachos, but my friend seemed to thoroughly enjoy the diverse ingredients. We had a wonderful time and I'll definitely be returning. I highly recommend the *Champurrado*, the gorditas (especially the mushroom one!), and the guacamole. The soy chorizo was also excellent.
