El Sombrero

Love this place! Fast and friendly. I’d choose this Mexican restaurant over the other in town any day!!! Love the Chilles Rellenos.

I’m not a huge fan of Mexican food but I do enjoy eating here. Many times I just get the beef nachos as there is a lot of food for very little price. When I want something a little nicer I usually go for the happy burritos and the steak. Either way there is a ton of meat and cheese which I like. Service is almost always good. It has been slow once or twice out of the many visits we have had.

This place was pretty meh overall.
We were one of only two occupied tables in there. The service was slow and nonexistent at best. Beyond the initial, «what d’ya wanna drink» visit we didn’t see our «waiter» again; except to bring the check.
And all of that would be fine if my food wasn’t half burned! I’m not sure what it was that was burned on it, either the tortillas or the mushrooms or whatever; but it tasted like they scraped the grill over half the food.
I went ahead and ate it because I was hungry and the sparse not-​burned parts were actually edible, and god only knows when/​if we were getting anything out of that kitchen again and *what* it would’ve looked like then. My bad, I should’ve said something.
What really pissed me off was when he blankly asked «how was everything?», when we went to pay, and he didn’t seem to care whatsoever when I told him it probably would’ve tasted better if it wasn’t burned –like I’d just asked him about the weather.
So I said, «does that not bother you that the food was half-​burned», to which he proceeded to go into a dissertation of what might or might not be burned or what constitutes «burned»? Seriously?
Anyway, this was a fly-​by crap-​hole in the wall place and it lived up to that expectation and we will not be coming back here.
I hear the Taco John’s in town makes decent food.

I frickin love this place! Fast and friendly service, screaming hot food and easily the best margarita in town.
Large enough to accommodate a group, yet intimate enough to relax on a date.
Outdoor seating is available and there’s rarely a shortage of parking spots.
If you’re in Newtonia you’ve GOTTA hit up Sombrero.
