My mom and I were doing errands a few weeks ago and decided to stop at El Sombrero for lunch. She opted for the chicken soup and said it was the best chicken soup she’s ever had at a Mexican restaurant. It’s a dish she had ordered at least once at every Mexican restaurant we’ve been to. Today she was craving the soup so we made the trip to Statesboro just so she could have it. She said it hit the spot and once again it was delicious!

I am from Statesboro, and when I get to come back, I always try to eat at El Sombrero. This was the worst service I have ever had. My order was wrong and missing parts of it. Drinks stayed empty. And he took so long to even come back to our table, and that was only when we got his attention. Very disappointing ? !! Once I got my food back the second time, it tasted good.

For the price and atmosphere of the place I think it deserves more attention. The service here is good but it may take a bit to actually get food. For the price paid the food is good and overall good experience. Would definitely recommend for a small gathering or family dinner.

My husband lived in Statesboro when he attended Georgia Southern University. When we visited Statesboro in September, he wanted to go down memory lane and one of those trips was to El Sombrero or "El Som." His parents were also in town visiting, so we all decided to have dinner at El Som on our first night. It was a Thursday night and the restaurant was quite busy. We were pleasantly surprised to be seated right away. They sat the four of us in a big booth in the main dining room. The restaurant is huge and offers second floor seating. The stairs looked a bit steep, so we were grateful to be seated on the main floor. We started with margs, queso, and guac. All were fresh and tasty. Then we ordered different entrees. My mother-in-law and I shared a seafood fajita, which was plenty for the both of us, especially after stuffing our faces with apps. The portions were generous. The manager came by to check on us, which was a nice gesture. He was very friendly. My husband and his parents remembered him from when they used to come here years ago. Good experience overall!
