The service was great with the drinks coming fast. The food came recommended and did not disappoint. I came in for the margarita but ended up getting a sangria and that was such a great choice. I found out they do bottomless tacos for an hour and I'm definitely coming back to try that. The host Carlos took great care of me thank you!! read more

A bit pricey but the staff was nice, food was good. We shared a sampler platter, guac and chips. I liked the pina colada and mojitos they made. read more

On a night when you couldn't get into any restaurant nearby, Sombrero squeezed us in. I do mean that literally...we were seated maybe an inch apart from our neighboring tables. Regardless, the food was very good. The service was pretty adequate. The restaurant itself, again, was very crowded so it was hard to really take in the ambiance. I would certainly go back again. read more

Great nachos, salsa, enchiladas and shrimp quesadillas! Very friendly service. Highly recommend!

So glad I stumbled upon Sombrero before a show! The sign for $5 margaritas is definitely what got me through the door, and they did not disappoint. We ordered guacamole to go with them and honestly might not have needed it if we had realized that we would get free chips and salsa anyway! But it was $35 for 3 margaritas and guacamole so that's definitely a win in my book. The chips were not the best I've ever had but were very fresh and satisfying. read more

Sombrero Restaurant - $5 marg and guac - Mexican Near Me - New York, New York

Stopped here after a show tonight to have a drink and late night snack. Walked up to the host stand and the employee greeted us and said "one second let me wipe this table for you". A few minutes later a group of guys walked up who the manager clearly knew. He pulled them from the back of the line and gave them our table that the other guy was wiping off for us. When I said something he was patronizing and called me "sweetheart". At that point we left. We refused to give our money to a business that was so condescending. There are a million places to eat in NYC. Do yourself a favor and go somewhere else and where your business is appreciated. read more

Perfect location to stop by for a snack after a show! There is plenty of seating, prices are great, and the restrooms are clean. The housemade guacamole is delicious as are the margaritas! Beware, the salsa has a good amount of heat. read more

Sombrero Restaurant - Guacamole - Mexican Near Me - New York, New York

Terrible salsa! Terrible happy hour margaritas! Friendly staff. Good ambiance. Dont come to New York to eat here

Sombrero Restaurant does a good job marketing with a person out in front pulling people in. That is an effective marketing strategy. Unfortunately the food just isn't quite at that level. A group of us came in for late night dinner. I had the chicken fajita and it was underwhelming. The others in my group who got different entrées agreed that it was adequate Mexican food, but in an area with lots of choices, you need to do a little bit better to stand out. I will say the workers were incredibly friendly and hopeful in the interior ambience is very nice. read more

The food was amazing and the service was even better! The ambiance was cozy and filled with laughter and smiles! Definitely a must every time I go to New York! read more

This was not our best food decision. My daughter ordered nachos with steak and I ordered queso fundido. My daughter did not care for her nachos and barely touched them. My queso fundido didn't come with pico de gallo as advertised and was just melted cheese for $16. The tortilla chips were somewhat stale. The first water glass they served us was dirty. The staff was inattentive. We waited over 15 minutes and no one came to check on us. I had to ask someone for our check so we could pay and leave. They didn't ask us if we enjoyed our meal after seeing that the majority was still on our plates. The one good thing was the peach margarita; however, they were advertising $5 margaritas in any flavor, but I was charged $5 for the margarita and then $2 for the peach flavor. read more

Prior to ordering the host stated the portions were big, the appetizer was pretty small in my opinion, but the main course was a good size. We ordered the nacho appetizer, when we got it the nachos were all soggy. We ordered the burrito bowls, the menu did not say the items were in an edible bowl and we had a gluten allergy and it was too late once we received the food order. The menu should be updated to reflect this. read more

Amazing customer service! I got the mango mojito and it was by far the best one I've had in a long time!

Definitely come here. Great food, great drinks, great tacos. This place should have 5 stars, had the shrimp tacos with rice and beans and their $6 margarita. read more

The food was good. The service a little slow. We ordered Guacamole and chips. Fresh hot chips arrived way way before the guacamole. I prefer it come together. My shrimp tacos were delicious and cooked perfectly. The mojito was absolute amazing and the churros were the BEST. OMG DELICIOUS. Thank you. read more

This is my second time coming here. Considering the location the prices are AMAZING! The staff is super attentive. Happy hour $6 margaritas! I love it! It is such a nice place and the food is real authentic Mexican food! I had a very nice waiter (Geraldo) who just made sure I always had my refills and was taken care of. We need more places like this. read more

Came here to say for Cinco De Mayo with some friends. Not too bad of a spot. Music was pretty good, drinks were reasonably priced, and "floor manager(??) was very attentive to us. She was very pleasant and checked on us plenty. Where it dropped off for me was the food. I can't even tell you what it was. My friend ordered it for the table. Whatever it was it was very cheese, which is a plus for me in general, but overall it was kind of bland. I think if you're just looking for a spot with good reasonably priced drinks to get with friends though this is your spot! read more

Overpriced, lackluster, unimpressive Mexican food. I ordered the guac, it was ok. I ordered a strawberry Daiquiri mocktail, $13. No alcohol but you charge me $13? Make it make sense! The burrito no rice, was $23 dollars. My husband ordered a quesadilla and a happy hour Margarita which he said tasted nasty. The servers were nice and attentive. Hence the 2 stars. I will never return. read more

A group of 11 of us came here on New Year's Eve for lunch to a very condensed menu. Our table was given two different menus. The menus were slightly different with one having much higher prices. The food wasn't terrible, but definitely wasn't worth the cost. Along with the fact they don't allow refills on sodas and didn't want to give a refill on water. We got our ticket and they charged us the higher price from the second menu and when we asked they told us that they didn't have another menu. We argued with the manager and of course got no where. They told us we made it up and there were no other menus. We will not ever step foot in this establishment again!!!! read more

Told them we were running late for the show and they rushed out our guac and AMAZING $5 margs. Super nice people, cute place, great food. read more

Sombrero Restaurant - Make It Work Margarita - Mexican Near Me - New York, New York

No, a defiant no from me. Want me to say it again? No. No. And for the millionth time, no. There is very little to like about this restaurant. It is in a touristy area. The staff is curt and not too friendly. The prices are extremely high. The food is not good enough to back it up. This is not San Diego. This is not San Antonio. The food here mostly tastes like a cross between school lunch meat and something you would find in a hospital. No chips are given here. I also found unless you were in a large group or a group of pretty ladies they did not cater too much to me other than keep my water glass full. I should have known better considering the circumstances, but I am not coming back here. read more

This place is pretty interesting...in a good way! This was very festive with a fun atmosphere to grab some drinks and appetizers or dinner. There is no bar where you can sit and just grab drinks. You have to order food to get a table. We ordered a number of dishes: 1. quesadillas - good but small 2. guac and chips - chips were great and guac was fresh. 3. wings - very meaty but a bit too saucy for me. 4. nachos with cheese - this was great They had a fun drink menu for those who want to go a bit crazy and the staff was attentive but not he most friendly. Overall, it was a fun place and the food was pretty good. The only thing is that it's so expensive, probably due to the area. read more

Let's start with the service: A++ Attentive, kind, welcoming, and with smiles in their faces! Boom! Drinks: A++ Drink were fantastically awesome! Apps: A+ The guac was very tasty and the queso fundido was pretty good (I recommend getting the guac with it since I felt the app needed an extra something with it). Ove experience: A++ I would definitely hit this place again! The establishment was very well decorated and delightful with the ambiance and lighting. I think you should def given them a try and see if your XP aligns with mine. read more

Quesadillas and salad were very good. Salad wasn't iceberg lettuce, but actual healthy greens, with egg, onions, cucumbers, tomatoes. Service was outstanding. Ambiance was pleasant. Very glad we got a meal there! read more

This is the best place in midtown manhattan for happy hour and pregame. I've been coming here for 10 years, and never got disappointed. Food is very nice, my favorites are nachos chili con carne, chili rellanos and steak ranchero. Stuff is always welcoming and very friendly. They are known for the most dramatic "HAPPY BIRTHDAY" (I won't say why, you should experience it). Specialty cocktails are so fun and delicious, nicely made and pretty. They always put so much effort and dedication to decorate for holidays, and the atmosphere is so comforting and welcoming. Shoutout to Patrick (the owner) who's always there welcoming people and making sure everyone has a great time. read more

fun décor and a nice spot to hang out if you're in the area. But unfortunately, the food and drinks didn't live up to the vibe. One of our dishes had to be sent back and even after that, the flavors were pretty underwhelming. The drinks looked good but didn't taste great more style than substance. Overall, Sombrero is fine if you just want a place with a fun atmosphere to sit and chat, but if you're going mainly for the food or cocktails, you might be disappointed. read more

While in the theatre district we decided to find a spot for a pre-show snack. After passing by several places that seemed generic and uninviting, we saw the colorful exterior of Sombrero. We felt a hospitable vibe as soon as we opened the door. The ambience is cute, even a little kitschy, but the colorful atmosphere matches the friendly, bright service, and certainly reflects the flavorful food. Hubby had very tasty chicken fajitas, and I had the yummiest cheese empanadas I've had in decades -- and that's saying a lot, coming from a Los Angeles/Southern California native who grew up with every iteration of Mexican food you can imagine. My only suggestion would be to have a few more vegetarian options on the menu -- such as cheese enchiladas and grilled veggie fajitas. We were very pleased all around, both with the food and service, as well as the comfortable, neighborhood hangout feel that made everyone feel welcome. read more

This Hell's Kitchen restaurant on 48th a few steps from 8th delivered much more than expected. Taco salads were elevated by cumin-rubbed chicken (amazingly flavorful and tender) and mixed greens (instead of iceberg). Generous with chips (although you pay for them). Margarita on the rocks was a treat. The same chicken was used in the quesadilla - yummy! Restaurant is small and filled up fast (there is a happy hour drink special - of course the place fills up!). read more

Definitely a tourist spot. Food is good, but a little pricy. Excellent service and fun ambiance.

Food was not as I remembered and drinks were way too sweet and not as strong as I remember. Also maybe I'm old AF but it was hella loud read more

This cute little place has indoor and outdoor seating. I had the appetizer quesadilla and it was actually large enough to be filling , delicious with great toppings and lovely cheese inside .The chips and salsa were delicious. The salsa is actually superior to any salsa I've had before, kudos. I also had dessert ; you get four churros with cream and a lovely dolce de Leche dip, so good. The service was fantastic, kind and caring individuals who just want you to have a great experience. I really love this place and I can't say enough good things about it. I had the tropical martini which was splendid, so ,so worth trying. The taste of mango permeated the drink and you could tell the drink was not watered down like it is in many places. The ambiance is peaceful, not too overcrowded and that's a good thing. I should be gatekeeping this place, but they deserve to stand out!!! My sister had the chicken tacos and she said they were divine. Try this place , you won't be disappointed. read more
