Everything about my evening at the restaurant persuaded me to go back in the future. This two-story restaurant serves a variety of customers from a peaceful family, to a crowd of rowdy college students. There are several establishments that offer cuisine, but three of my friends referred me to El Sombrero, so I took their recommendation. They gave me great advice. Whenever I go out to eat, usually with my family, nine times out of ten I'm going to go to a Mexican restaurant. The endless supply of chips and salsa, and the gigantic amount of alcohol they give you in just one margarita are some of the reasons why El Sombrero attracts money-saving college students. Also, the two-storied design allows college students to go upstairs and eat and drink and keeps them separated from families who may be disturbed by loud college kids. When I asked the manager where the college students usually sit he said that the restaurant was arranged with an upstairs bar and one on the bottom because they wanted to attract college kids, yet they also wanted to serve in the community. Statesboro offers three locations to eat at so it shouldn't be too hard to find. Another reason to patronize the restaurant is that it is walking distance. Following the suggestions of my friends, I asked for a seat upstairs. As soon as I was seated my waiter brought out the free freshly made chips and salsa, as expected, and then asked what I wanted to drink. Being a teenager I ordered a Coke and asked for a bowl of jalapeño queso. Thinking about texture of the gigantic sized, salted chips mixed with the delicious jalapeños queso makes my mouth water now. I was not disappointed with the dip, it was hot and the perfect consistency. As I examined my surroundings I realized that in every corner of the room there was a flat screen T.V. awaiting my attention. The service was great. When I was almost done with my first coke, the waiter came up and asked me if I wanted a refill. The hospitality of the waiter is a major reason why I would recommend this joint to anyone looking for a nice dinner. When the waiter asked me for my main course, I ordered the steak fajitas with red and green peppers, onions, rice, guacamole, lettuce, tomatoes, sour cream, pico de gallo and flour tortillas. It didn't take very long for my food to arrive, and the visual display of the steamy fajitas coming out only added to the excellent tasting dish it was. The quality of meat was outstanding; it was fresh and perfectly seasoned. My waiter said that a common dish that people get when eating at El Sombrero is the Burrito California. This dish is served with either steak or grilled chicken, onions, black beans, white and yellow cheese and El Sombrero's green tomatillo salsa. Other popular dishes served included are the fajita quesadilla and the enchiladas super rancheras. I was on a dinner date with Tori and ordered the fajita quesadilla with grilled chicken. She loved it, as did I. Everything physically about El Sombrero screamed out its Mexican ambiance and it was appealing to me. For example, the visual display of red clay tiles on the roof, the traditional tan coloring on the walls, Hispanic music playing throughout the restaurant, all the things that you would expect at a Mexican restaurant were present. Whether you want take out, catering or just to dine-in, El Sombrero offers it all. The only issue that I experienced was that, like all other popular restaurants with good food and service, El Sombrero gets pretty crowded on certain days during peek hours. With the idea of crowdedness, the factor that comes into to play as well is parking. When I asked my server when it typically gets crowded, he told me the weekends are without a doubt the busiest business hours. Not knowing that prior to when I ate there on Saturday, it was my luck that it wasn't too crowded. Looking at the reviews on Yelp for El Sombrero, if you want to have a nice, inexpensive peaceful lunch or dinner there are three locations in the Statesboro area, go to the El Sombrero in the old Publix shopping center behind Hardees. If you are a college student and want to be surrounded by people your age, and don't want the hassle of parking, go to the one on Fair Road. It is open until 11:00 P.M., which comes in handy if you are busy studying and can't eat any earlier. Food related almost all the other food critiques agree that they serve excellent Mexican food.

This was once a well-regarded Mexican restaurant where we frequently dined, appreciating its…read moreauthentic flavors and inviting atmosphere. However, the quality of food has declined significantly; the beef is now overcooked and charred, lacking the tender, flavorful qualities it once had. Additionally, the portion sizes have diminished to a level more suitable for children, making the meals feel unsatisfying and poorly portioned. We will never be back to this restaurant. Folks, better spend your hard-earned money somewhere.

This is the best restaurant I've been to in Statesboro yet. Here's what my wife and I had: * Mixed Chicken and Steak Lunch Fajitas Over Rice ($11.25) - cooked with bell peppers, onions, and tomatoes, and topped with cheese dip * Lunch Combo Special No. 1 ($9.25) - one chile relleno, one taco, beans and guacamole salad * Guacamole Dip - Small ($4.65) Everything was delicious. This is your standard Americanized Mexican restaurant, complete with complimentary chips and salsa (side note: the chips here are of the thicker, harder, and crunchier variety). I would say this place does the Americanized Mexican restaurant concept well and operates like a well-oiled machine (in business since 1989). Our entrees came out fresh and tasty, but the Guacamole Dip was a bit underwhelming. It looked and tasted like it had been sitting out a while. It was discolored whereas the guac that came with the lunch combo was fresh and vibrant. Service was good. We visited on a Friday for lunch and it was nice and busy, though not absolutely packed. Lots of families. This location on Buckhead Drive is the third and newest of the three "El Som" locations in Statesboro, having opened in 2008. It's relatively nice and known as the "Palace." The original location opened on Fair Road in 1989 and the second location opened in the Publix shopping center on Northside Drive circa 1993-1994.

When I got home I opened my chipotle bowl and started eating not only until I was halfway finished I saw a bug of some sort moving along in queso. I am appalled, I threw up immediately while my daughter captured a picture. I went up there to inform the manager and he brushed it off with such a careless attitude I will be taking legal actions from further on here I suggest you to NOT EAT AT THIS LOCATION!!!!

Since I could not contact the restaurant on the phone I drove back to the drive thru lane. The same employee as before.

I clearly stated to the manager that I just wanted my items but the employee continued to insult me with the manager standing there. After several minutes they finally handed over my items with the manager never apologizing and letting the employees berate me. This is disgraceful behavior.

They want to welcome everyone into their restaurant with smiles and open arms. It makes everyone feel better when they are greeted when they walk into a restaurant or into a public place it makes them feel wanted. The Moe's where I live is not very good at saying "welcome to Moe's" when someone walks in although the one here in Statesboro is really good at saying "welcome to Moe's". When you look at the menu for the first time it can be very overwhelming by all of the choices and how all of the food looks really good. The menu ranges from burritos, tacos, quesadillas, salads, and nachos and you can customize all of those and add ingredients to them. They have 31 different fresh ingredients that you can put into your food when they make it because they make it all in front of you. They even have a vegetarian option available if you do not want chicken steak or pork. They also have over 20 items which are gluten free and ingredients with lower calories so they have something for everyone. At every Moe's they have a Coca Cola Freestyle machine which has over one hundred different drink options inside of it. The machine has flavors in it that are not in stores so it will be only way that you will be able to get the drink. They also have homemade sweet tea which is really good because it is made fresh daily. The best part about getting food from Moe's is that they will give you a lot of food. My favorite meals at Moe's are the Wrong Doug and the Joey Bag of Donuts. In the Wrong Doug you get a twelve inch tortilla with cheese in the middle hard shell on top with any kind of meat that you want, with their famous queso on top. You can also put their seasoned rice on it with the chicken which just adds to the flavor. Adding lettuce, tomatoes, jalapeños, and more to your favorite meal at Moe's. After you say that you are done with it they put another hard shell on top and more cheese and then wrap it all up and they put it on the grill to cook it. The Joey Bag of Donuts' name is deceiving because it isn't a bag of donuts it's actually a really big burrito. It comes on a twelve inch tortilla with any kind of meat that you want on it. After that you can choose to put shredded cheese, beans, pico de gallo, with their seasoned rice. With every meal you get a free side of chips and salsa which have free refills if you want more. You can also ask for a side of their queso with the chips but it will cost some more money sadly. The environment in the restaurant is warm and welcoming especially with the employees. They have a lot of pictures on the walls of regular people that look like famous people. The scary thing is that they really do look like famous people. Moe's started in Atlanta back in 2000 and has grown to over 500 stores nationwide and a few abroad on military bases. Theirs a Moe's in three different countries including: the U.S., Turkey, and Russia. Everything is prepared fresh in the store and the chips are made in the store fresh so they are not old and stale.

We called ahead of time to make sure that they had space because having been in the restaurant business for many years it was always so frustrating when people would come with a big group and at least not call ahead to see if we have space rather than just show up and expect the 12 people on a Saturday night could all fit at one table. Well, that could have been my first clue. And for the record, this was not my first choice and seeing that there's only 1-5 star review on their page. I would've not come at all. We get there in the place is nearly empty, but we had come a little early on a Saturday and thought OK maybe they just are not that busy. Well once we are seated and get settled first of all, they didn't have enough menus for all of us. There was literally almost no one else in the restaurant and they didn't have enough menus for 12 people. Take that in for just a minute. Then we find out that they lost their liquor license. Well, I don't drink often, but I do like a good margarita when I have Mexican food so that is strike two. It's not my favorite to write negative reviews. However, my hope in doing so is that the restauranteur will actually take into account what I've said and make some changes. The restroom was clean. That's always my first eyes into the restrooms to see whether or not they might keep the kitchen clean. They did a good job although they do need to do a little maintenance to make it even better. The place smelled of cleaning products. Actually not a good thing. Because when I'm coming to your establishment to eat food, the first thing that should hit me is the wonderful aroma of that food not the fact that you had to mask some major problem with cleaning supplies. Like I said there were only about 12 menus maybe even less because not all of us had a menu to begin with. Maybe they were 14 of us. This was several weeks ago and I should've done this then. There were a couple of server assistants that were young men who did the best job that they could, but you could tell that the owner/managers did not want them doing anything other than delivering chips and salsa. We had no silverware for ages and had asked several times. We received no straws even after several couple times. We asked for more napkins several times. The food was mediocre at best. Unfortunately, I can't find one good thing to say about the food. I know that a few people ordered the flan-like dessert. The texture was absolutely off. We are not in the area very often, and I highly doubt that I would ever go back. But if I did see that reviews were pouring in and they were very good. Excellent I might give it a try thinking that the owners made some changes. It's a great location, but they are lacking in too many ways.
