Reviews for El Sombrero in El Monte, CA
Worst service ever! Or should I say, lack of! Went on Sunday to watch game, place was not crowded at all. Once we were served,... never seen our server again! Never came back to see if we needed anything, which we did! Shrimp in the shrimp cocktail was niceand overcooked! It was rubbery! Although I must say, the cocktail part of it was good! Read more
Good time at the bar with friends and family! Bartender was cool and drinks were great ????
Always great authentic food minus the tamales. I only like my mom's tamales????????????. This is a great spot for business... meetings, birthdays, or other special occasions. Read more
A hidden gem! The salsa is satisfyingly spicy, and the food comes quickly so you don't really have a chance to gorge yourself on... the chips and salsa. The enchiladas, oh the enchiladas! They have onions and olives inside, a combination that gives a uniquecombination of flavors that is excellent! I tried to recreate this at other restaurants and failed. In addition to this, theprices are right, they won't break your wallet. Overall, a good choice if you're in the area, but maybe not worth a specialtrip Read more

Long time local favorite Mexican food restaurant. I haven't had a chance to pay a patronage to this restaurant. Today we were... invited to a friend's anniversary party here. The restaurant did a good job setting up everything for the party and providedgood drinks including awesome margaritas for the party crowd. Everyone seemed to enjoy the drinks judging from the noise levelof the party. The food was mediocre starting with the stale chips. I feel they should have at least make the chips crispy. Thenwe started the party with a Buffet. The buffet came with rice and refried beans as well as fajita with chickens and cheeseenchiladas. I like the chicken fajitas which is one of my favorite Mexican food. They did a good job on this one with greatflavors. The enchiladas was a bit disappointing. I felt there is not taste. Despite all the mediocre food, the service wasgreat. We had a good time with our friends creating a fun memory for all of us. Thanks to our friends who invited us and othersthat we have not seen for long time to provide an opportunity for reunion. Read more
Food was good, just not very filling. My fish dinner was a bit small on the fish. Also soup was good but did t even come same... time as my partner. So one side finished before my soup even showed up. Will return as food is flavorful and great tasting. ???? Read more
I missed the days when Rossy cared about this restaurant. From food taste to table service, she was very detailed. I stopped by... today, and food was awful, famous red sauce tasted like ketchup, service desperately needs improvement, overall experiencewasn't even 20% of what used to be. Not coming back. Read more
