My family and I were traveling through from Florida back home to Louisville, Ky. We went out of our way to eat here as a few reviews suggested best in Georgia. Uhm if this is the best.... Anyway it was ok. I was impressed that they had my favorite burrito de la roqueta. I got two burritos, but very little... More

Visit the El Sombrero off Forsyth in the Kroger Shopping Center and try the Salad with the grilled chicken, shrimp & steak, you'll not regret it. The fresh avocado, the black olives, onion, and just the right amount of cheese combine for a flavor that makes you say, "Ahh, I like this, and I'll be back for more!" Have a... More

Great Mexican food with efficient service and prices that are easy on the wallet. The tacos, tostadas, enchiladas, soups, and salads are great. Lots of tasty food, cooked to order. You really can't beat El Sombrero for an easy dinner out.

The food here is good but service is leaves much to be desired. Tried to explain to waiter about making special request on my dinner but didn't seem to understand. After his 3rd attempt to fix my food, I just took whatever he brought me..
