Tortilla soup
Yu-kwong C.

Me and my family love Mexican food. If you don't see us in a Chinese restaurant, you'll find us in a Mexican one. There are many Mexican restaurants around here. This place is so close to our house. So we didnt need to think twice of where to go. We ordered our favorite items: fajitas and tacos. The steak fajitas were great! We liked the meat cut in wider strips. They were very tender, juicy, and nicely grilled. The fish tacos were also delicious. The fish strips were chunky and tasty. We really liked the generous portion sizes. We were not able to finish everything, so we took home the leftovers for another meal! The service was good. The place was quite busy on a Sunday night. Everyone seemed to have a good time enjoying their food and the lively vibe. We'll come back to try the other items. If you like local, home-style dining, come check this out!

Complimentary chips, salsa and bean dip

Truly, a neighborhood gem! The food quality and taste are so good at an amazingly reasonable value. Sunday is all day happy hour if you want to check out. I got the sampler platter, which lasted me three meals. It's always packed, which speaks to how good the food and service are.

Birria tacos
Martha G.

Came to this place on a whim for takeout when I drove by it and saw it. The hostess was friendly and the service was quick. We ordered the birria tacos which were delicious and they did not skimp on the meat. The enchiladas were very good, a tad spicy, but tasty. The rice and beans were also good. Our food was packaged with salsa, chips, and black bean dip. On a Tuesday evening, the place was busy but there were dinner tables available. Will definitely be coming back to try a cocktail and another dish.

Return visit after too long absence. In the mood for Tex-Mex so we got two dinner plates. Plenty of food so we got leftovers out it. Popular with friends and family on Sun lunch.

The restaurant is run super efficiently, but it is also very popular. This was our first time here, so it was surprising that it took longer to get our table than it did to get drinks, order, and get food. The salsa is excellent. Not mushy cooked salsa, it is thin with pieces of onion, cilantro, etc.... We loved the flavor, but there's definitely plenty of onion. Husband ordered a frozen margarita which he said was "limey and lush" with the perfect amount of salt. On our Deluxe Carne Asada and Carnitas plates, the meat was the star of the show. Beans, tortillas, rice, guac, cheese enchilada, and pico were all good, but the pork and beef were excellent. The marinade used on the carnitas left bright citrus hues. The asada was tender. The sopapilla was the most buttery tasting sopapilla I've ever had. The custom tables and chairs reflect the pride taken in having a nice space. The mural on the dining room wall is a lovely, bright focal point.

The first time we went to La Sombra Cantina we thought we were going back to Pineda's. We were…read moresurprised at the change and hoped it was at least as good as Pineda's. We were very pleasantly surprised. It's even better in my opinion. The people are very warm and friendly. The food is really delicious. I love that they bring not only good salsa with their fresh hot chips, but also a tomatillo sauce and a black bean dip. We've now eaten there several times. The taco meat has a nicely charred flavor. The tamales were very good. (I'm picky about my tamales. I've tried their ranchero sauce, chili con carne, and sour cream sauce. None of them disappoint. Their rice isn't dry like it is at many other Tex-Mex places. And their $5.00 all day frozen margaritas are worth it. We usually go for the lunch specials that run until 4:00. They don't have mole on the menu, yet. I'm looking forward to their future specials. In this day and age where it's hard to keep a restaurant open, I really hope this one survives. It's not fancy, but the food and service make it worth it. And I'm a picky person when it comes to spending money on food I don't make myself.

A red salsa which was mild and has some nice acidity from the tomato. Then there was a creamy green salsa that had a nice spice. Then finally my personal favorite a great black bean dip. These paired well with the free chips. My partner ordered the queso birria, great flavor and a great consume. Then I had the poblano enchiladas which was the best dish of night! The poblano sauce was creamy cheesy and delicious. There was a nice spiced shredded chicken super tasty. Overall a fantastic restaurant with great service too !

I ordered the nachos with carne asada. They came on a huge platter with dollops of guacamole, sour cream and pico de gallo in the middle. They use the same cheese as the queso in a bowl so it's more fluid which I LOVED! The carne asada was diced small and cooked to perfection...crispy outside and tender inside with not a bit of fat or gristle. They were so good I couldn't stop! I planned on taking half with me but ended up eating practically the whole platter. Their iced tea is freshly brewed and is also delicious. I'll be back soon to try some of their other dishes. The food was so good I forgot to take any pictures!

Incredible tacos at a reasonable price, especially considering how much meat they put on these…read moretacos! Every order is served on a little tray with chopped onion and cilantro on the side along with a little cup of charro beans. I've had the trompo (al pastor), barbacoa, and carne asada, and they were all incredible and VERY generous on the meat. Elote was decent and (as a fun fact) they have a self serve sauce and cheeto/takis dust area that you can top it off with. The restaurant is directly connected to a dessert shop with an expansive dessert menu and freezers full of $1.50 paletas (I suggest the rice flavor - kind of like a horchata on a stick).

I would probably give this place 3.5 stars, since I did enjoy some of the items we tried but didn't…read morelove other items that much. My husband and I visited for dinner on a Friday night and it was pretty packed! There was no line to order at the counter, but many of the tables were already taken (though we did manage to get a table for the two of us). We tried a variety of items on the extensive menu, and my favorites were definitely the trompo tacos and the quesabirria tacos! The carne asada taco was good but I personally always prefer trompo / al pastor, and the volcanes was interesting to try. Unfortunately, the chicken taco was very bland and flavorless. Furthermore, the other thing that makes me hesitate to return is the fact that there was quite a bit of fat on the meat in the tacos, which made it more difficult to fully enjoy.
