Any time we are within an hour of El Sombrero we take advantage of the best TexMex there is! The hot sauce is absolutely wonderful, the beans can’t be duplicated, and the staff are on point. Do yourself a solid and check them out....Read More

My go to lunch meal is a cheese burger all the way with two tacos substituted for the fries, or the beef fajita nachos. Dinner favorite is the Mexican Dinner. Give them a try.
