Pretty good Tex-Mex, I just thought that they would have a few more options of seafood on Good Friday. The service was good, and the food came out extra hot, which is what Mexican Food should come out. read more

The Big Sombrero - Mexican Near Me - Montgomery, Texas

We love eating at Big Sombrero, especially because the portion sizes are generous and perfect for sharing. The staff is always friendly, and on our most recent visit, our server Carlos was especially attentive--making sure we had everything we needed and that our drinks stayed full. We always order the chicharrones and white queso. The portions are great, and the queso is consistently delicious. The kids had the bean and cheese burritos, and there wasn't a single bite left. My wife and I shared the Sombrero's Skillet, which comes with a mix of beef, chicken, pork, and shrimp topped with chorizo queso--we enjoyed every bite. Food: 9/10 Service: 10/10 The atmosphere is very family-friendly, which we really appreciate. The only critique would be the restaurant's upkeep. Our booth had a noticeable tear, which was an eyesore and a bit uncomfortable. Overall, we love the food and the energy here and will definitely be back. read more

We had a great experience at this Mexican restaurant. The food was flavorful, well-prepared, and clearly made with care -- from the fresh chips and salsa to the main dishes, everything tasted authentic and satisfying. Portions were solid without being overdone, and the menu had plenty of options for different tastes. The ambiance really stood out. The space was lively, stylish, and welcoming, making it a great spot for a casual dinner, date night, or gathering with friends. It had just the right energy without being overwhelming. Service was very good from start to finish. Our server was attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu, checking in regularly without hovering. Drinks came out quickly, and the pacing of the meal felt just right. Overall, this is a strong choice if you're looking for good Mexican food, a great atmosphere, and solid service. Definitely a place we'd return to and recommend. read more

Food was pretty good.. I had the carnitas fajitas and chicharron and queso blanco... had to doc the queso up a bit... added salsa to it for flavor. Service was good, wasn't sure who my actual server was, everyone was helpful. Ambiance was fine. Not too busy on a Tuesday afternoon.. I'd definitely return. Better than most of the Mexican restaurants I've seen in the area! read more

The carne asada, fajitas, queso & jumbo margaritas are great. Our favorite Mexican restaurant!

Food is always delicious. Service friendly and welcoming. Yesterday I placed a large to go order with all sorts of special requests. You know the ones - holding the tomato, add extra cheese - all the picky eaters. The order was PERFECT! It was ready at the time requested, hot and ready to dish up. 8 entrees and appetizers and everything was super! Love this place! read more

Always good always fresh food. Great service. Love to go there anytime. Great place to book parties. Did I mention that the margaritas are wonderful? read more

Awesome staff!!! And the food is amazing!!! I go here every week... especially on taco Tuesday

"The big disappointment" I wanted to like the place, the overall atmosphere and look at the place is what you would want for good Mexican food. We sat down a little after 3:45 PM on a Saturday and we're able to get seated quickly. The overall attitude and friendliness of the staff was one of the better things about the place Also will give recognition that our server was very good at upsell us everything . However, none of our drinks were refilled, the food was delivered by other people, we had to bus/prep our table, the service was very slow for a half empty restaurant . In addition, the only thing that actually tasted good was the queso . The guacamole was subpar, the rice and beans were not good, the taco salad was disappointing. Two of the three kids ordered tacos and only ate half of one each. They said it didn't taste very good. I tried to buy, and they were correct, it wasn't very good. The other kid had a lunch chimichanga, but we were charged for a dinner portion . Same issue with me, I ordered a lunch taco salad was charged the dinner taco salad . In the end for one adult ordering a salad and three children ordering kid items/lunch portion we were charged $84 before tip . This is not a high-end restaurant, but $84 for three children and one adult adult is a bit expensive. Two of us actually ordered water as well, but I would definitely say we will not be back. To summarize : The food was not good, the service was slow, we were overcharged . However, the place did look really nice and the people were at least friendly. read more

Went for a late lunch and absolutely loved it. The cheese enchilada was delicious. Also got a crispy beef taco and it was wonderful. Had a raspberry margarita and it was delicious. Will definitely be back. My new favorite Mexican joint. The restaurant was clean and the staff was friendly. Can't wait to go back read more

Ordered dirty taco salad with beef fajitas. Fajitas were good, lettuce looked as it had come from a bag, and had sat for several days open. The lettuce smelled and was yellow. Had to,us my own lettuce. Also had all American enchiladas with ground beef. They were good. Usually get chips and salsa. We got three Bags of chips and NO SALSA. does no one actually look at the orders to look at food quality and correctness? Very disappointed. read more

The food was very very fresh and tasty. It was very hot and not too spicy. The sauce and chips were good, too. The service was prompt and food was delivered to our table very quickly. The restaurant looked clean and smelled nice. Cute decor and lights. Prices were reasonable. I would definitely recommend this Mexican restaurant. read more

We've lived in the area for 6 years now. Big Sombrero has been out go-to for several years now. The food is consistent, the service is always great & the drinks are delicious. A mango margarita with Tajin on the rim & an enchilada plate is my favorite meal! read more

The Big Sombrero - Beef enchilada dinner - Mexican Near Me - Montgomery, Texas

Trying this place for the first time as we made the drive out to Conroe to go to a Lupe Tortilla that was non existent. The security was great and our server was funny. The ambiance was nice and was very very clean. Chips are a bit hard but I can overlook that as I'm picky with everything I eat. The salsa was good and the queso was delish. The margarita. Ahhhhh reminds me of Rancho Grande (Big Ranch) before they changed their recipe. The quesadillas are good as well and reminded me so much of rancho grande. If I had to do a blind gold taste test, I'd be in trouble. My husband had the fajitas for one and he said the same. Basically if you love Rancho as much as I do because the food is good and the prices are right, this place is for you. Enjoy!! read more

When the fire alarm goes off at your resort hotel and you have to walk down 14 flights of stairs, you do what any same person would do: grab your car keys and go find a nearby restaurant to wait out whatever happens. With that luck in our favor, we Yelped for a local lunch spot and came across The Big Sombrero. "That sounds like fun," hubby said, and so here we are. Happy hour every day, and thankfully we're here at the right time. A jumbo house marg for me and a beer for hubby. Chunky guacamole - it has all the good stuff: onions tomatoes jalapeño cilantro lime. So good we're actually ordering a second round of it (yeah yeah, I know, quac is #extra, but OMG, it's so good) and the chips are super thick and able to stand up to the chunky quac. So good y'all, so good. Hotter salsa (had to ask for it) but it is DELICIOUS- going with the theme of the day, it burns burns burns, the ring of fire! ;-) And the chips are warm, too. Y'all this place is SO GOOD! Hubby's having spicy dirty tacos, I'm going for Chicken Blanco. Food hasn't arrived yet and we're already talking about coming back up to this place. It's only about 45 min from home, but we've traveled farther for good steaks (looking at you, 1836 in Huntsville) so we're not against making the drive for great food. Ok. Food. I gotta say it y'all: HOW IS THIS PLACE NOT ALL FIVE STARS?!? Fresh, hot, incredibly tasty... I don't have enough adjectives to describe how happy my mouth and tummy are right now. The chicken blanco, with double beans, is a savory flood of flavors. The zucchini, which so often is over cooked to mush, is deliciously crunchy and partners amazingly with the white queso (that is so hot, it's nearly straight liquid). It comes with tortillas, and makes an amazing toco, but it's not even necessary. Straight from plate to fork to mouth and you are in for a treat. Hubs has vacuumed up his tacos. We both are miserably full and absolutely delighted with this meal! Again, I say, HOW IS THIS PLACE NOT FIVE STARS?!? Come here. Enjoy the food. You will NOT regret it. read more

We literally got ignored for an hour before we got to order appetizers and once we ordered appetizers it was another hour until we waved down the server to order our actual food. They were not busy at all it was a Monday and he had one other table. He straight up would look at us and ignore us and when he did talk he had an attitude and I'm nice asf bc I work in a restaurant but that was ridiculous read more

I take my family of five here all the time. We love the margaritas. I always get the chunky avocado as an appetizer and the chips and salsa are great. They have many things that are solid, I recommend anything on the Barria menu. read more

Great experience! Was recommended to come here for margaritas which was very good. They do have a good happy hour every day but we weren't able to make it before 6. I had the frozen jumbo margarita which was a very respectable size. The service was great and the waiters kept bringing out chips and salsa whenever the bowl got almost-empty. I got the Seniorita and thought my food was decent but I would get a different dish next time. The tex mex tacos and enchiladas looked good! Portions were large and prices compared to houston were very fair. read more

All I can say is I have had better. But I've only been there once. I'd be willing to try them again. Maybe it was just a bad day.

Our parents favorite Mexican place. Incredible service. Very friendly & fast. Great margaritas. Parents usually get the tacos and this visit they say they fell short. Worst meal they have had there. I had beef taco plate on their recommendation and was disappointed. I liked the beans. Rice boring. Not enough tomato or cheese on tacos. Wish I'd been asked if I wanted sour cream, avocado, or guac. Very plain and bland. Felt they were lacking toppings for the price. They were filling I only could eat 2/3. Hubby ordered the tostadas and he said they were average. We wouldn't order either or even want to come back. Disappointing as we are from illinois snd this was our only Tex Mex during our visit to TX. read more

So yummy. We got take out and it was quick and hot and delicious when we got it home. The carnitas enchiladas and quesabirra were soooo good. Highly recommend. Everyone in my party enjoyed their meals and the prices are very reasonable read more

If we MUST have good Mexican food, we choose Big Sombrero. The other ones in the area taste like cheap microwave food. I look for fresh, homemade tortillas (big sombrero needs to work on that), good salsa with warm chips, flavorful meat. This place is good, just not great. I'm Mexican and grew up on Tex Mex food and most places in our area don't have it! So sad. Have to go to the Woodlands or Houston to find it! read more

YOu know... this is a 4 and a half star place, I wish Yelp had half points. I have had a few slight things that I would say they need to work on, but for the most part, we really enjoy this place. I wish they were a little better on drink refills, and noticing the need for drink refills. If I have to ask for a drink refill, that aggravates me. That is something that should never happen in my opinion. All you have to do is glance at a table and see an empty cup/glass, so there is never an excuse for that in my expert opinion. The food is really good, and the service is another one of the things that I would like to see improve. They manage to do just enough in the nick of time to prevent me from really getting agitated, but its always just barely in time. As far as I am concerned, in this immediate area, this is the best mexican food I have had. There are a few other places around that use American cheese, and boast about it, on their dishes. Thats a hard no for me, so in this area, the Big sombrero is my go to. read more

Food was delicious! Great service and atmosphere! Would recommend everyone to try this place.

Very busy restaurant. In this area almost all of the Mexican restaurants have the same entrees but they do have some nice flavors on the standard entrees. It is a bit loud at times but that is expected when you are a full seating. read more

The food only deserved 2 stars. Nothing much. My husband hot the steak chimichanga and thought kid's pizza is better. However the kids fries are pretty lousy. I got the fajitas with steak and shrimp with bacon one, its on an ok side, nothing to be so impress. Server was attentive but over all Is just an ok. read more

Good place to have dinner with the family! I saw the accusations of a hostess with an attitude but I didn't experience that, I did experience the constant refilling of my water and chips. Not saying it was a bad thing I'm just not used to it, lol. Our waiter was friendly and did a good job at accommodating our requests!! The food, I had the chicken and beef fajitas, and I must say: they were great! The rice was delicious, the pico and guac tasted fresh. My only knock is the charro beans; they were bland and it was mostly water. Enchiladas were good, we've had better but not bad. Their queso with ground beef was outstanding, probably some of the best out there! The margs: the taste was great, they weren't too strong but I felt it after the first one! I'd definitely return to this place, it's better than a certain restaurant down the road. read more

We shared an appetizer and the overpriced beef fajitas. The beef was so tough not one piece was edible. I wound up taking the beef home to my dogs. I would not recommend getting the small portion of beef fajitas. Their food is generally good, but I would never order the (over-priced small portion) of fajitas again. The margaritas were really good. The service was really good and tough beef was not the waitresses fault. I looked to the owner to make the correction on the tough cut of meat. read more

When a customer or client walks through the door of a business, the first face is usually the first impression. Unfortunately the hostess, I'll call her "A", was anything but welcoming , friendly or kind. My husband said, oh she's very focused on her job... well she could focus on her customer with a smile and a friendly hello, welcome to The Big Sombrero. Instead she says, "How many? with a look of, what do you want?Then she grabs menus and walks away, sets menus on table and walks away. Nothing about enjoy your meal or have a nice day it is this table ok? Fortunately, our server, Victor, was awesome. And the food even better. Service fast and accurate, drinks and food generous for the price. We would come back if we are in town again. read more
