haven?t found a Mexican restaurant better!!!!! – My experience in the sombrero cafe has been wonderful , I haven?t found a Mexican restaurant better , I am telling you because that I am Mexican myself. Its hard to find a place that makes their food from scratch! Usually its imported or even worse made by a can etc..One of my favorite dishes include fajitas, Chile verdre(which is very popular ) , and the chimichanga , and for dessert the sopapillas! being in the culinary field, el sombrero has inspire me that its not about th... read more
A little disappointing. – After reading the reviews I decided to give El Sombrero a shot. We decided to eat lunch since one review indicated that it was cheaper than the dinner menu. I quickly learned why this place has been in business for so long. It is in a location with few restaurants and it seems to generate most of the patrons from the courthouse and law offices nearby. To be honest it is good for this place that there are not many restaurants around. The food is certainly nothing better than average. I chose the rell... read more
Best Mexican food in Vegas...period – A hole in the wall located on Main Street a few blocks from old town. Great food (try the chile Colorado). Low prices, family owned business for nearly fifty years. Not open on Sunday, but great for lunch or dinner any other day of the week. Don't worry about getting a cab out of there Western cab Company is right next door. Maybe the best kept secert in Vegas.
Mexican Food just like back home... – I have been going to El Sombrero for over 30 years since I first moved to Las Vegas from Colorado. It tastes like the Mexican food back home. Theresa and Jose are like family. It is the only restaurant I go to where they remember what I like to order and treat me like family. Once when I was on a special diet (but I couldn't give up El Sombrero) I did not eat all of my food and was not ordering as much as I usually do. Jose sent the waitress out to ask if something was wrong with the foo... read more
Never on Sunday – Ate here in the 70's when we lived here..........Moved back in 2006 and the place hasn't changed. Food is excellent....people are attentive....the only serious drawback is that they are closed on Sunday.
This out-of-the-way Mexican cafe is the ultimate hole-in-the-wall joint. – In Short One of Las Vegas' oldest Mexican restaurants opened in 1950 and is housed in a small, nondescript building on South Main Street. It's a location that no restaurant should be able to survive in. Nonetheless, El Sombrero has thrived here by feeding locals a simple Mexican menu full of fiery salsas, fresh tortillas and spicy chiles, both colorado (red) and verde (green).
best mexican food ever – My greatgrandpa loves this place..it seem for as long as i can remember everytime he comes here from lousianna we have to eat at this restaurant he calls "the hat"..we just went back a few months ago and man is that food great..service is wonderfull, the staff is polite and did i mention great cheap food.if you ever want great AUTHENTIC mexican food check this place out.
Best Power lunch & Mex food in Vegas – I have been a weekly regular customer of the El Som for over 15 years. Tersa & Jose serve up the best Mex. food in town. Yes it's a hole in the wall...It is also where the Pol.s meet and eat... Just look at their wall of fame.. Ice cold beer, great margaritias, and mild to wild spicy food. You can't get a bad meal here
good but a little pricey – the food is very good, but the prices just went up and now its a little more pricey than its worth
