I remember this restaurant being better, but this was 10 yrs ago. The wait staff was friendly enough but first they brought out the wrong drink for my friend. He still accepted it because it was alcohol. And after that they kept coming around asking if we were ok, taking our plates. At first I didn't notice and I wasn't bothered by it but after one guy came to clean our table when we weren't even done I was a little fed up. Like can't we enjoy our meal and drinks in peace. We want to have a conversation. Anyway, we ordered tres leche cake, one of my favorites. It was the worse tres leche I ever had. My spoon couldn't go through it easily. And it was dry, so dry. I noticed when they served us that the cake was drench in the milk sauce and now I know why. They knew it was dry and hard and tried to make up for it by pouring the milky sauce all over. No Bueno, people, no bueno.
Nope, I will not be back.
Very convenient. Food is no bueno.
This place deserves more stars! A group of us from my training course came here for lunch and totally enjoyed it. I had the shrimp fajitas which was generous and delicious!
Half a star for the unique guava margarita and another half star for the delicious guac trio. But honestly what sup with our waitress' attitude? I thought at first it was a language barrier when it comes down to her explaining the menu and the available margarita flavors – but then I realized she's just full of unnecessary sass.
Upon seating and as we wait for the last person in my party to arrive, our waitress came to us three times hurrying us to order even though we told her we wanted to wait for the last person before deciding. When it came to deciding on the drinks, she wouldn't stop pushing us to get the bullpit? Margarita special? When we refused and wanted to go with something else, she told us literally almost every flavor on the menu was not available. When we pushed for it again, she finally said guava and a few more flavors were all of a sudden included in the "we have" group. Ultimately we decided on a pitcher of guava margarita on the rock (which happened to be poured into exactly 5 cups for the 5 of us – no more no less).
Aside from drinks, we went on to order the guac trio which included fruit guac, chipotle guac and traditional guac. The fruit guac consisted of mostly mango just as I expected – a hint of sweetness and quite refreshing. The chipotle guac had a nice spicy kick to it. The traditional guac had chunks of fresh cubed avocado. Honestly these guacamoles were some of the best guacs I've had in the city! Too bad when we asked for another basket of tortilla chips with the bus boy, the waitress stormed up to our table and told us that it would be an additional $7 charge. The guac trio was already $21, I guess I will just spoon and lick the remaining guac?
In the end, totally wasn't surprised by the automatic gratuity charge for the 5 of us when we received the bill. We just hurried, paid, and never looked back. Honestly, no matter how yummy the drinks and food were – def not worth putting up with the waitress' attitude.
Sombrero didn't have a wait when we were looking for a dinner without reservations along 8th Avenue. So, when we sat down and ordered a pitcher of Sangria until our final dinner mate arrived, I took a few minutes to read the Yelp reviews, and began to experience a small bout of buyer's remorse.
I suppressed the urge to bolt, and accepted my fate. Besides, the Sangria was cool and fruity going down, and my friends seemed happy with our spot. The Chips and Salsa were amply fresh, crunchy and spicy. Our waiter was cordial and attentive and made helpful suggestions as we ordered. We started with the Traditional Guac. It was chunky, smooth and delicious. We all considered ordering more of it, but were committed to the rest of our meal to come.
Our main courses consisted of Beef Chimis, Chicken Quesadilla, and Grilled Chicken with a fruity sauce (forgot the name). All were good to very good, although the Chicken was a bit dry.
The atmosphere of the place was pleasant and had a reddish/pink cast due to the brightly painted walls. I found everything to be decent, although not the best Mexican I ever had. That honor goes to a little place in Tucson.
I went here for dinner before a broadway show. Close enough for a cold snowy day. We usually yelp for food but this time was an exception because we were chased by time and the brutal weather! When we walked in and sat down i yelped this place and it was two stars! Kinda shocked so we ordered the most simple dish that can not usually go wrong. Burgers.
The waitress were friendly and service was fast. But i have to admit the food was not good. I am usually okay with burgers but this place.. I can not describe why but it was not pleasing at all. I definitely learned my lesson. Will always yelp for restaurants and avoid under three star places.
My roommate and I came by in the afternoon on Cinco de Mayo…it was super humid inside, so we requested a seat outdoors…which was right on a busy sidewalk with a bunch of people walking right next to you while you eat. That was a weird feeling..we were so close.
I ordered a steak dish and tacos. and a side ofguacamole and chips. The guacamole was good, but the portion was extremely small and disappointing. We had to order another one. The food here is pretty good, they were a bit stingy on the rice portion…that was more disappointing. What threw us off was that there were peas and carrots in the rice. at a mexican place? weird to see that. The margaritas were good .
they had a shot girl walking around. we bought a shot each for $8. The total bill came out to about $135.
I'd return – the staff were polite and attentive.
I really liked Sombrero's. We stopped in for drinks and appetizers. The drinks were delish and the nachos were great! The wait staff was awesome. They were very friendly and attentive. I will definitely go back!
