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!

First, I want to talk about the horrible experience we had tonight. We got seated at 7:20 PM, which…read moreseemed great at first because we only waited about 10 minutes for a table... or so I thought. It took 50 minutes just to get our appetizers and the margaritas we ordered. After that, the wait only got worse. At 9:10 PM, we finally received 3 out of the 4 dishes we ordered. We didn't want our food to get cold, so we went ahead and started eating. We actually finished our meals before the last dish even came out -- and then it suddenly showed up after we were already done. Waiting that long for food, getting meals at completely different times, and having such slow service made this a really frustrating experience. I'm beyond disappointed. The only good part of the night was thinking the short wait for a table meant we'd have a good evening... but that definitely wasn't the case. Really hoping this was just a bad night, but this experience makes it hard to want to come back.

We didn't, we got it from here. We ordered and had an estimate of 5:35 PM. Upon arriving, one of the staff working To Go asked what I was waiting for and I told her we were early, gave our last name and she took note. This was shortly after 5 PM. I got a good tip ready, as I expected she would be tracking this order. 5:50 PM, my wife tried calling 3 times and no answer. I went inside. no one acknowledged me. Given there were so few people there, I don't understand why they can't answer the phone when my wife called 3 times, but can stand around texting on their own phones. The cleanliness was lacking, even in the unoccupied section. I would expect with so many staff and so few customers, someone could have picked up a little. I went to the front and mentioned the issue. I finally did get my order. I made sure all containers were there but my wife didn't mention the chocolate milk, so that was a loss. Unfortunately, I didn't open all containers to see the incorrect contents. I lost about an hour here. I didn't even get an apology for taking double the time I was told. They truly do not care! If someone in Austin pays attention, you need to get an on site manager. Given so many paid staff doing nothing, fire most and start over. Better to regain your reputation at a temporary expense. Review camera footage. It backs up time hacks and lazy employees. Chuy's has been around literally decades. I hate seeing it dragged through the mud for one rogue location. We will give this location another try in case it was a fluke. Taking my son to the ER was a better experience than this place. t would be funnier if it wasn't true. PS - I don't care about sorry for my poor experience, etc. Fix the problem. Make it good again.

The salsa is a perfect blend of simple ingredients: tomatoes, jalapeños, and garlic. The chips are warm and made right on site. I enjoy the small order of nachos served on a piping hot plate. The beef tacos have bold seasoning that will keep you coming back for more. The taco shells are the lightest, thinnest and crispiest I've ever tasted.

We started with the queso dip, then had the fajitas and the cheesy bacon chicken, all of which were delicious. And to top it off, the sopaipillas for dessert were the perfect ending. Great food, great service--we'll definitely keep coming back!

We stopped here to eat because of the reviews. We were not disappointed…read more The place needs a little love. It's clean and they are sweeping the floor especially after a bunch of kids come in.
