The food is GREAT, so are the drinks and staff is great! What more can I say, this is a great place!!!

Worst

First of all, I would like to start off by saying that we moved from AZ knowing in advance that there was likely no legitimate Mexican cuisine in the Northeast. We have not been ...

hit or miss place 1/4/2011

We've loved the food and, at times, it feel short. We've had great tequila drinks, but at time, that too fell short. I have not figured it out, maybe what Chef is on? but looks like staffing is important at El Sombrero's Price is fair - portions are good. You'll usually take some to go. Atmosphere is above average. They were always very polite and welcoming. I would recommend this place. Keeping in mind that I am not a Mexican person. more

Mexican - I don't think so 11/15/2006

This is a long standing Mexican restaurant that could only survive here in the northeast. The salsa was on a par with what you can find on your local grocer's shelves. Our enchiladas suizas (chicken filled with tometillo (sic) sauce) to the pescada Santa Fe (broiled scrod with gallic and spices) entrees were each flavorless. The latter was listed as a house specialty. Pros: Inexpensive Cons: below average food more

We're not in Arizona anymore 4/21/2006

First of all, I would like to start off by saying that we moved from AZ knowing in advance that there was likely no legitimate Mexican cuisine in the Northeast. We have not been proved wrong thus far. We went to El Sombrero as a last ditch effort and were completely dissatisfied. The salsa is nothing more than ketchup with cilantro. Yuck!!! Ground beef tacos, with salt as the chief spice? Retarded. The ""Mexican food"" is a joke. Number of Mexican beers on tap: zero. Please. For Pete's sake, the combination number four (""cuatro"" en espanol) was spelled with a Q. Couldn't you even hire someone from near Mexico to spellcheck the menu? I implore you, if you have never left sight of the Atlantic, do yourself a favor and hop on a plane to the southwest, or better yet, south of the border. Pros: service was fine Cons: food is atrocious more

el sombrero 11/10/2004

the food is absolutely amzing. it's a little mom and pop type operation. the atmosphere is inviting and comfortable. it's a great family restaurant with authentic live music with a little mariachi band. all the food is handmade fresh, including the complimentary chips and salsa. the bar is a nice little niche for drinks after work or a total blast for a night out on the town. Pros: great food, Ample parking, fun dinner environmen more

Awesome Salsa 10/31/2002

If you like Mexican Food - this is a Great Place to Go - There House Specials are Fantastic - Full Flavor - Nice and Spicy - they are very accomidating to any Special requests - Hotter-Milder - None of this - More of that - we have never had a request rejected - and becareful and not fill up on the Salsa and Chips they give you when you are seated - they are Great Pros: Good Food, Good Prices Cons: Little Noisy at times more
