" My recent experience at El Sombrero left me feeling mixed. The ceviche was outstanding and tasted authentically Peruvian, which was a highlight. However, while the staff was friendly, they seemed overwhelmed and not very attentive. The restaurant can also feel cramped when it's busy, which made it hard to enjoy the meal fully. " (*Curated Review*)

" I took my family to El Sombrero for a celebration, and it was delightful! The portions were massive, and the prices are incredibly reasonable. My kids loved the fajitas. The only hiccup was that our server was a bit distracted which made our experience slightly less enjoyable. Nonetheless, I will recommend this place to everyone! " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve been coming to El Sombrero for years, and it never disappoints. Their portions are huge, which makes it great for sharing. The food is always cooked to perfection. The atmosphere is cozy, albeit a bit loud when crowded. The managers are very welcoming, making every visit feel special! " (*Curated Review*)

" Food was delicious! My husband and I tried a mix of their Peruvian and Mexican dishes. Everything was nicely presented and full of flavor. The atmosphere is casual yet inviting. My only critique is that it was a bit crowded, which made it hard to enjoy the meal at times, but we'd definitely be back for more. " (*Curated Review*)

" With all the hype surrounding El Sombrero, I finally decided to visit. While the food was good—tasty meats and well-seasoned vegetables—the service was quite disappointing. The waitstaff appeared rushed and uninterested. The ambiance also felt a bit chaotic. I hope they can address these service issues because I would love to enjoy their food in a better environment. " (*Curated Review*)

" El Sombrero has some delicious food, particularly their ceviche! I highly recommend the seafood options. However, my experience was tainted by rude service and a long wait for our food. While I loved the cuisine, the service needs significant improvement to justify regular visits. " (*Curated Review*)

" While I wanted to love my experience at El Sombrero, I can't overlook that my meal lacked seasoning. The ceviche was fresh but a bit bland. The atmosphere is lively and the staff was friendly, though I felt a bit rushed in my dining experience. Could be better. " (*Curated Review*)
