I admit I'm a foodie and live to eat good food. The queso here is strange.. it tasted like it had raw flour in it. It's more of a white sauce .. if you're like me and enjoy a cheesy white queso go to El Rancho in Denham Springs which has good white queso and they have a chicken fundido dish (with queso) that's the best anywhere. Oh! Mestizo in BR has a good queso too. Yep I'm picky ok? You might have different taste buds. Ambiance? Service was fine but I also prefer the coziness of booths which this place doesn't have. But Tuesday is taco night and it was packed so lots of people aren't as picky as me :-) read more

The salsa was actually really good suprised it's hard to find a good salsa Tex mex restaurant. The service was excellent , Miranda the manager was very helpful in deciding the order and she knows her stuff ! Let me tell you I ordered the chicken Alfredo and it was the best chicken Alfredo I've ever had in my life! I'm not joking. This place deserves every customer around here knocking at the door ! read more

The service is absolutely phenomenal when we walked in we were seated right away the fajita bowl was pretty good it isn't a huge portion perfect for a lunch the burrito supreme wasn't as flavorful as we thought it was going to be the refried beans tasted can like to be completely honest and there's carrots and peas in the rice which threw me a little off but overall it was pretty decent read more

We were seated promptly and our orders were taken. The food came in a reasonably amount of time. The food was good and they were good size portions read more

Denham is known for lots of Mexican restaurants. Sombreros stands out, absolutely does, as it's the best in-and-out sit-down Mexican dining experience you'll get that check all the necessary boxes for me: Food, service, and atmosphere. You'll get lost in the menu, and that's fine since everything we've tried here so far has been EXCELLENT! They do the basics very, very well - and when you're bored and want to try seafood Mexican options, they do those with fresh seafood that tastes divine. A no-frills Mexican restaurant you can take the family to and leave happy without paying a premium for fancy decor or overly-loud bands. I recommend the Veronica Special to Sombreros newbies. The San Carlos seafood dinner plate was also very excellent! read more

Sombreros Mexican Restaurant - San Carlos. Very yummy! - Mexican Near Me - Walker, Louisiana

The seafood chimi's are very good and the service is exceptional. Always satisfied with Sombreros.

I feel compelled to write this review based on an unacceptable experience. I've been a patron of this restaurant for years, with only one really bad experience which I became physically ill after eating there, as did my friend. A recent situation though convinced me that they simply do not respect their customers & have selective service. I'm a strong advocate for the restaurant industry. The positions can be strenuous & stressful. I've dined in restaurants all over the world for years & while culinary excellence is a criteria, all restaurants at any level of success are measured on their customer service. We chose to dine there because of their happy hour promotion, as in the past. Arriving at 5:20 p.m., it was busy & we were told there would be a 20-25-minute wait by the 2 young ladies at the reception who wrote our name down for the wait list. We stood quite a while as all of the wait chairs were filled & people were waiting in between the entrance doors to just get in.  Since we were waiting so long, even though there were numerous empty tables, I specifically asked the young ladies if they would still honor happy hour pricing when we were seated if it was after 6:00 & was told YES. When asked about why there were so many open tables with so many people waiting to be seated, we were told it was due to "fire code." When a couple of chairs in the wait area open up, we sat down. A waiter came into the entry area & extracted a chair immediately when someone else got up. He said it was because they didn't have enough at a table. Confusing when there were so many open tables & people waiting had nowhere else to sit. I will say, I did get the impression that the 2 young ladies up front were not necessarily attentive & proactive in seating people much less how many open tables there were. Several minutes passed & upon checking there were still at least 5 couples still in front of us.  Another couple arrived close to 5:50 p.m. & put their name on the wait list.  At that point, we had been waiting at least 30 minutes.  The man proceeded to walk past everyone waiting & looked into the dining area.  He leaned over then to one of the young ladies & they were immediately seated in the dining room.  Another couple next to us also waiting said out loud "So, exactly how does that happen?" I looked around & others noticed it as well.  Selective preferential seating. It was 45 minutes before we were finally seated. The waiter came to take our drink orders. I ordered margaritas & said, "just want to make sure that we are still covered with happy hour since we had been waiting so long." He said "No, happy hour is over." I asked him then to please go check with the young ladies up front because we were told it would still be honored as we had been waiting since 5:20 & she had us on the waitlist. When he finally returned with the drinks he didn't say anything, obviously trying to ignore it, so I asked what he found out & he replied that he "had checked with his manager & no, they were not going to be able to honor the happy hour pricing, & he had to get the drinks from the bar." (I'm sorry but where else would he have gotten the drinks?)  No apologies, just "are you ready to order?" & with disdain. I'm confused now & said "if they you have employees stating something & you are not going to stand by what was committed, then you all need to be on the same page as this wasn't right." We then ordered dinner. I decided while waiting for dinner, to walk back up front & ask the young ladies about this. Well, the blonde one was snotty, quickly saying it wasn't her & the one with the brown hair was silent. I said I'm sorry, it was you & you told me we would be covered with happy hour & this wasn't right." A young man came over & asked if there was a problem. All this time, I have been very cordial & kept my voice low. So, I explained the situation & he said he would talk to our waiter. Well, evidently that didn't happen either. Customer service is key to any establishment, especially restaurants. The waiter made no effort to be helpful, offered no apology. He could have nicely said "let me see what I can do" but instead cocked an attitude & I had the feeling that he also spoke to no one, much less with his manager. The ladies upfront were inefficient, made personal decisions to prioritize who was seated before others & made a commitment that would not be honored. I am greatly disappointed, & it was a bad experience & it didn't have to be. People make decisions to spend hard earned money for enjoyable nights out when they can. I can honestly say, I will no longer recommend this restaurant as I have done countless times on social media for years. It isn't about the cost of a couple of margaritas; it is about the poorly managed customer service. It's too bad because I've enjoyed the food there for years but so be it, customers are not a priority for them. Sombero's has failed miserably - MINUS 10 STARS read more

First of all why was this the second time I have eaten here. The first was more than 10 years ago. I went for lunch with my daughter and I had the seafood chimichanga add chicken. This was hands down the best chimichanga ever Instead of the ranchero sauce I opted for the white queso the owner came out to say thanks and I shared my sentiments and I legit can't wait to get another chimichanga I mean the beans and rice was good too but the chimi won me over read more

Mexican Restaurants can be very similar, sometimes even having almost identical menus. What sets Sombreros apart is their consistent high quality and fast attentive service. There are also a few signature dishes that you won't find anyplace else. My wife also loves their Chicken Soup - a meal in itself. Rather than get stuck in a rut, I've been working my way through the menu specials. read more

Food is excellent , we had tamales with beans and rice, the queso was delicious , will come back again when in the area

Every time I go to Walmart I can smell Sombreros and it makes me so hungry. Unfortunately for me I don't find their food all that. Don't get me wrong, it smells good and looks good but just doesn't have that wow factor or even good ole fashioned Tex mex taste. I've eaten here only twice and declined from family dinners here at least 4 times. Those 2 times I've ordered beef fajitas and have been highly disappointed each visit. The meat was tough to chew. I figured since I had waited a year in between visits it would have been better the second time around. The waitstaff was very friendly and helpful. No more strip mall Mexican restaurants for me unless I'm back in Texas! read more

I enjoy going to eat here! The food is always good and service is above and beyond! I really appreciate Tommy the owner walking around checking in with everyone there and thanking everyone for coming!! read more

I've been eating here for many years. Every meal I've eaten at Sombreros has been excellent, and the service was great. The Owner is always nice to us and the staff is polite. It's a comfortable and family oriented place. Can't wait to go back again for my Birthday very soon. read more

Nothing beats Sombreros! I will drive 25 minutes, passing at least 5 other Mexican restaurants JUST for this place! The Burrito Supreme is amazing and the margaritas are delicious. Highly recommend! read more

Atmosphere is good! Family friendly. Nice bar. The food has always been very good. The steak fajitas are out of this world. I will only eat steak fajitas here. We go at least once a week. If the owner is there, which is most of the time he always comes around and ask how everything was. Does not appear to be insincere as he tells you if something is wrong, make sure you let him know. read more

The food and service was great. Very clean environment. We will be back. Prices are not bad at all.

Our server was very nice and tried to accommodates us as much as possible but he was severely overworked. He was the bartender, host, and our server. I ordered the Baja fajitas and for 22$ I got 3 small slivers of chicken and 3 shrimps. The rest vegetables. Absolutely ridiculous. read more

Sombreros Mexican Restaurant - a plate of food - Mexican Near Me - Walker, Louisiana

I love this restaurant because Tommy (owner) is so involved in the community. His staff is on point, food is great and you can be sure that Tommy will make sure you are taken care of and have a great experience. read more

Went there Friday night after WHS basketball game. Three of us had three different entrees and we all enjoyed our meal. The salsa was extra good too. It was late and maybe only 4 tables were occupied, 2 waitresses. Our waitress was a little slow although the other waitress was really watching her table. We felt "ghosted" a couple times and were finished about 15 minutes before she came out and we could ask for our check. We were just getting ready to get up and ask the people at the front desk if they could get our ticket when she showed up. It was maybe 20 from closing time so I don't think it would have been her "break time". All in all it was ok and I will always support Tommy because he supports our community so much. read more

Great food and always amazing service. I definitely recommend when your have a craving for Mexican

Just had street tacos and they were fabulous. Even the rice and beans that came with them were awesome. Our server, Louis, was super attentive also. If we lived here it would be our new favorite. read more

Great food. Service is good. Good size portions. Good Tex Mex food. They are glad to be of service to all of the communities of Livingston Parish. read more

Food was delicious our waitress was very nice. Beautiful atmosphere we ordered the trio Fajitas with extra shrimp.

Well, we gave them another chance. Had food delivered! I know these are hard times for everyone... especially restaurants. BUT you should not cut your expenses preparing your food. My husband ordered tamales .... we have honestly never seen Tamales that were only finger thick, there was a spoonful of rice and a spoonful of beans. I was really hungry for queso and chips. The cheese had no flavor.. none... but you could tell it had flour mixture or some kind of thickening agent in it ... My husband ate his and I threw mine out. Ridiculously we paid $30 for that !! Never again... no more chances... We are done with Sombreros! Trust me you will lose your customers one by one read more

First, I want to start with we are on vacation and my husband saw a billboard with this restaurants name. I thought he was nuts, a billboard, however this place had fantastic food. I had a Chimichanga and my husband had tacos. I wasn't expecting much but was completely surprised at the flavor starting with the chips and guacamole to the tenderness of the meat. Our server, Ronnie, was attentive and took care of my pickiness without missing a beat. If I didn't live 3,000 miles away it would be my new go to. Perfect place to bring a family. read more

I am only given a 3 because we ordered the Fajita bowl. The favor was great but the portion size was ridiculous. It came in a cereal bowl and was $15.99. For the amount of food we had, it should have been $8.99 at best. I hope the owner sees this & either changes the size or the price, because it was definitely not worth the price. read more

the food was not that good for a Mexican restauran. the owner Tommy is very unprofessional and rude. I highly recommend going somewhere else if you want good food and service. read more

The food is always fresh and delicious. The steak fajitas are the best I've ever had! Our waiter, Yasco, is absolutely amazing!!

Unfortunately about 5 minutes after we were sat, a roach ran under our table. Came from the front of the restaurant. We sat with our feet in the air until the manager/supervisor came so we could let her know we were leaving. This location is very very small compared to the other Sombreros I've been to (Alexandria and Houma) read more

Sombreros is a great Mexican Restaurant, Tommy the owner is very attentive and courteous. The food is excellent and Carlos is a great waiter he has a great memory and always has our drinks waiting for us when he see us coming! We eat there a lot. There are Television strategically placed around the dining room and enough waitresses to attend to you every need! read more

If your looking for Mexican food this is not it. though if you want really horrible mexican go for it at your own risk. You may also have a chemical soap taste in your mouth from the cups. read more

i did not like the food the enchiladas were nasty way to cheesy cold food service was nice there were no mexican people here not real mexican food read more

Consistent and amazing ! The owner Tommy goes above and beyond for every single person he comes into contact with. We have been eating here since 2007 and will continue to do so. He's very active in the community and truly cares about the quality of his food, his employees and his patrons. Even with Covid, he has jumped right in and changed to fit the guidelines. Thank you Tommy read more

The steak fajitas and Queso Flameado (choriqueso) are outstanding. I think I will try the steak and shrimp fajitas next time. The service is top notch and the atmosphere is really nice. It has a feel that is really like being in a cantina in Texas. The menu is extremely diverse and features a variety of dishes. You can find Tex Mex, a new take on classic Mexican fare, and authentic Mexican favorites. Give this hidden gem a try. FYI: This is an awesome family restaurant. read more

See all

I have to start off by saying the owner/manager is the absolute sweetest! He checks in on every table and makes sure everything is right. The staff is always incredibly friendly and helpful! They're very patient as well (I once had a massive order and they were super helpful!). The food itself is wonderful! I love the salsa and fresh chips. My favorite plates here are the cheese and onions enchilada, burrito supreme, and of course standard tacos! This will always be one of my favorite places in Louisiana! read more

The owner or manager is always so welcoming and kind. Always checking on his patrons making sure everything is good. They absolutely have the best white cheese dip ever. I miss that place. Is always stop in and get my chips and cheese to go. Oh and you have to have one or two of their margaritas read more
