" The food here is incredible! I ordered the shrimp tacos and they were fresh, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned. The staff was attentive and friendly throughout our meal. Overall, a solid dining experience, one I would gladly repeat when back in town. " (*Curated Review*)

" Despite hearing great things about El Sombrero, I left feeling lukewarm. I ordered a steak fajita, hoping for more spice and authenticity; instead, it felt bland and uninspired. Service was good, but the food didn’t quite reach my expectations. " (*Curated Review*)

" El Sombrero is the go-to spot for delicious New Mexican fare! The red enchiladas are a must-try, bursting with flavor and just the right amount of spice. I was delighted by the friendly service and how quickly our food arrived, despite the busy dinner rush. A lovely place to enjoy a meal with family and friends! " (*Curated Review*)

" The food and service at El Sombrero are usually great, but my last visit fell short. My order was incorrect, and the server took a long time to fix it. The ambiance is still a highlight, but I hope for better next time as I enjoy this restaurant. " (*Curated Review*)

" El Sombrero was alright but I don't think I’d rush back. The food was decent but didn’t wow me. Service was friendly yet slow. I would recommend it to someone looking for a casual meal, but it’s not at the top of my list for dining experiences. " (*Curated Review*)

" Disappointing experience overall. The restaurant looks nice, but the food quality was not impressive. It felt like I had ordered from a chain rather than a local gem. I expected something authentic! Service was decent, but given the food quality, it leaves a lot to be desired. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a delightful dinner at El Sombrero with friends. The ambiance was lively, and it’s evident this place is a local favorite. My green enchiladas were flavorful but could have used a bit more spice. The service was attentive, and we enjoyed a leisurely meal. Overall a great experience worth repeating! " (*Curated Review*)
