El Sombrero on South Elmhurst Road was praised by the New York Times for its 'consistently good Mexican food', and having been around for over 35 years, customers love the place for its pleasant atmosphere and great food, all at affordable prices.

Pop in for lunch or dinner where a platter of tamales smothered in chili, or quesadillas with mushrooms and bacon could set the stage. A platter of los tres amigos with shredded beef burritos and a poultry taco could follow.

The fajitas al pastor of strips of steak, shrimp or chicken, or a combination of any two, sautéed with bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, and tomatoes is a wonderful combination of flavors. The toro special of a six ounce filet mignon accompanied by garlic baked shrimp is a popular choice.

An exciting range of over 30 tequilas are always available. El Sombrero caters for special events and there is regular live entertainment with a strolling guitarist in the dining room on Fridays and Saturdays and live rock and roll Saturdays in the lounge.
