El Sombrero

Authentic Mexican flavors. Excellent guacamole and chicken burritos. Cold Corona.

Chips are way to salty.

Will be going back soon.

This is a self serve restaurant, don't expect waiters. However the food is so good you would expect this place to be more like a fine dining experience. Lunch time it is crazy busy. Go early or go late if you don't want to wait in line. The servers are very fast at moving people thru. I usually go 3-5 times per year or more. This is not a fast food franchise so the prices are higher, and the portions are very large. Much healthier than I had expected compared with other Mexican restaurants.

Everything you've read good about this place is the gospel truth. Our meals were fantastic, service was very friendly and attentive, and there was legit ranchero music playing on the stereo.

HANDS DOWN the best burrito ive ever had, and their enchiladas are fantastic. Already planning our next visit.

Limited variety (especially if you're vegetarian) but the Enchiladas and Burritos are good choices. If you don't mind fast food, this place is recommended!

I thought the food here was great. The people were friendly as if they were from Cuba. The atmosphere reminds me of Mexico when I lived there for a few months. It is absolutely refreshing to get off the Hurontario after battling a bunch of lousy drivers and come to a friendly restaurant like this. If you like Mexican food you must try this place.

Great place, not the biggest menu, but the Tacos are great! Quick service, small and cozy!

My boyfriend & I go to this restaurant on a regular basis. Nice atmosphere, food is reasonably priced, friendly staff, quick service! Food here is always fresh, hot & tasty, real Mexican!!

I have been to this place many times in the past, and every time, I never left with a complaint, and would recommend it if you're looking for a good, local Mexican restaurant.

Parking should not be a problem being in a commercial cluster. Ambience is authentic with spanish music playing in the background (a bit on the louder side, but not loud enough to be an irritation), room painted in Mexican yellow sand colour and various other things that makes sure you know where you are. Also have a nice, little patio in front. The place is casual, so you order your food, which you can grab yourself, or they will bring to you when ready. Seat yourself place (i.e. part fast food, part sit-down restaurant).

Like any other Mexican place, there are many meat dishes, but there are options for vegetarians as well. The burrito which is of a good, hearty size always pleases. They also provide a few types of hot sauces depending on your heat preference. Oh, and they will provide complimentary taco chips - a bit too salty but seem homemade (but could be wrong).

I've been told to watch out for the lunch crowd because a line will form, so that should determine it's local success.

We were looking for a restaurant with waiters etc...not a self serve restaurant so my initial reaction was disappointment but after we got the food which was incredible, the beer was ice cold, we had a very good time. It obviously is well known in the neighbourhood because it got very very busy...we definetly go back again...

My first time ever visiting here -- all I can say is wow.

That was the best chicken burrito I've ever had in my life... so much so, that the first thing I did was come and write about it on here.

I was a little skeptical of it, because I'm one of the odd people that actually DISLIKES peppers, and would normally get my burrito with no peppers. This place has the peppers already mixed with the chicken so I was getting ready to think I wouldn't like it, but boy was I ever wrong.

Even the tortilla wrap seemed home made, and was nicely grilled and perfectly chewy..

Very impressed, and will definitely be back.

I actually found it spicy though, and I did not order anything spicy on it :( Not sure how that happened

Cheers!
