" Absolutely love this place! The combination plates are my go-to, and every time I visit, the food is delicious. The salsa bar really brings it all together, and you can see the care that goes into the food. I appreciate that they take EBT and make it accessible for everyone. I would like to see them expand their hours since sometimes I crave their tacos at odd times. But all in all, Sombrero's is my favorite Mexican spot! " (*Curated Review*)

" The drinks could use a little more variety, but the food is definitely top-tier! In particular, the street tacos are fantastic and tasted so authentic. The service was very friendly, though there were some hiccups with the timing of my order. Would come back for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" Just had an awesome meal here! We ordered several different items to taste, including their famous burrito and some tacos. The flavors were spot on, and each bite was a delight. The atmosphere felt lively, perfect for an evening out. Would definitely recommend it to friends who enjoy Mexican food! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a bittersweet experience. The food was hearty and flavor-packed, which is amazing! I ordered a variety - their burritos, tacos, and nachos. However, my only concern was the wait, as it was noticeably longer than anticipated. They might need more hands during peak hours. Nonetheless, I think it's worth it for the food alone! " (*Curated Review*)

" So many choices, so little time! I love the different options at Sombrero's; plenty to satisfy every palate. My favorite is the shrimp burrito, and it's crafted perfectly. The only downside was that some items on the menu were temporarily unavailable, which was a letdown. Still, my experience was positive overall. Can’t wait to return! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a gem in the city! Sombrero Mexican Food provides not just food but an experience. The flavors are genuine and always reminds me of my travels to Mexico. The carne asada is tender and flavorful. The atmosphere is lively yet cozy. I’ve never had bad service either—staff is always happy to help. Highly recommend if you’re in the area! " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve tried several items from their menu and so far, I can say that their tamales during the holidays are a must-try! They are loaded with flavors and the staff is always friendly. However, during my last visit, I found the prices have increased a bit, making it less budget-friendly than before. The ambiance is still top-notch—a perfect family environment. " (*Curated Review*)
