“ I love the food here. Its always fresh and fantastic. My favorites are they fish and calamari tacos. Also, there is a calamari burrito that I get almost every time. They even have a little salsa bar. Good food, good eats. ”
“ The food is so good. The service was amazing! Highly recommend. Oh & apparently blink 182 used to hang out here when they were younger. Kinda cool ”
“ We have been trying to get away from seed oils in our diet and the cashier and manager were able to help us find a solution that was both delicious and right up our alley healthwise! recommend. ”
“ I have made a review here before about their carne asada fries, how little they gave and their lack of adding more pic de galo. But, I see where I went wrong. Their Cali burritos are where it’s at. They don’t skimp on the pico, it’s a good size portion. Expensive, sure but I came today on their 6 burrito day and it was packed. I was amazed by how well they were doing when it was so packed. Anyway, I have to use two hands to hold this burrito. And it’s delicious. I’ll come back everytime for the burrito hands down. Hopefully they keep that up. Carne asada fries? No way. Not ever again. Also when I came in an older couple were complaining it was hot because they didn’t turn the fans on. I didn’t really care cause the burrito was too good. Thanks sombrero ”
“ My nephew wanted to come here because of Blink-182. It’s chill. Good portions for the price. My nephew says the food is 10 out of 10. My mom and I were also not disappointed at all! ”
“ She brings me Mexican food from Sombrero's Really nice little place for some good tacos. If you're a Blink-182 fan, this place is worth checking out. We felt very welcomed and had a nice meal. We will definitely be back! ”
“ I'm very glad Sombrero is in my neighborhood. I grew up on their delicious food. Everything here is very well made and always consistent and delicious. Their special burrito is my favorite, it's huge and has a special sauce on top of the burrito. Try it with shredded beef, you won't be disappointed. The restaurant is always super clean and the service is fantastic ”
“ This places strengths are its Mexican food and its people. I appreciate even the slightest of Mexican hospitality and culture while enjoying their great food and colorful personalities. You won’t get that at Taco Bell. This location has a cheerful team. My experiences here are more enjoyable than visiting American food establishments and their occasional entitled employees. Only problem [and IT IS NOT Sombrero’s fault] are ‘bachelor’ type Caucasian men showing up with their freaking Tupperware containers and stealing salsa from the salsa bar. These kooks have zero shame; they gaslight that crime comes from south of the border people and then go to Mexican restaurants with their mom’s Tupperware and steal Sombrero’s salsa? What “LOSERS”! ”
