Absolutely horrible and do not recommend. How are you going to be a Mexican restaurant? They can't get tamales or huevos rancheros right. Watered down Horchata, and waterwsdown salsa. And tamales that taste like they were soaked in water before thrown in the microwave, but somehow they were also dry. I've never had a steamed flavor tamale, until today. the green sauce had no flavor just straight spice, which normally isn't a problem when the green sauce has flavor. i would never come back here ever. You couldn't pay me to eat here. Not to mention the long wait in the drive thru. Horrible.

Decided to give this place another chance after a bad home delivery service. Original owner is back and the food is back to it's awesomeness!!! We had a wonderful server. Her kindness really made our experience much better. Place is very clean and orderly. Owner also very nice. He came from the back to talk with us making sure we had everything we needed. I can honestly say I recommend this place for an inside service sit down relax place!!

So this place was delicious, to start off I feel like you can typically judge a restaurant by its salsa when they bring out the chips and salsa. Well that salsa in my opinion was spot on, it had the right amount of flavor and kick to keep you wanting more. My fiancé ordered and enchilada plater which looked delicious and I order two Al pastor tacos and an asada burrito. I have had my fair share of Al pastor and I'd have to say I'll be making the trip back here to enjoy there's. The asada burrito was cooked to perfection, couldn't ask for a better asada burrito. It was so good that I missed the rice that I wanted inside. At any rate a definite recommend to anyone in the area!

Friendly staff, casual colorful atmosphere, food was delicious, iced tea (1/2 &1/2) was great, salsa (red and green) awesome, chips good. Desserts and adult drinks served but did not have any this trip. Easy to find location at 1st and Ave H. My mother (super duper critical about food) gave it the thumbs up too. Will definitely be visiting again. Yum!

Been wanting to try this place for a while. Went in on a weekday around noon. Staff was friendly and it was pretty clean- except for the bathroom door edges that were brownish black from handling. Chips were good. Salsa had great flavor but was very watery and didn't want to stay on chips. I get trying to stretch a dollar but this was really thin. I got the flautas con polio. The description did not mention rice and beans but the picture of the dish on menu did- so I asked and they were served on my plate. They were nice and crispy but chicken had no seasoning and was bland- needed salt at a minimum And maybe some cumin or other spice. My husband got the #30 steak con rajas. Was basically beef fajita with onions, peppers and bacon- served with tortillas, guacamole, etc. it was REALLY tasty. Meat with great seasoning and spice, great homemade tasting flour tortillas. Stellar dish! All in all it's a good family place amd I have had their breakfast tacos which are awesome! We also Got a dozen of this tortillas to go. Great local business and very groendly
If you like Taco Bell cheese you will like these place. Tastes like they use the same can cheese. But for me I like fresh non can ingredients.

Friendly staff. Overall good food. The salsa, queso, fajitas, and homemade tortillas were really good. The rice was bland and cold. I would still recommend this place.

I have been staying in Temple, Tx recently, and tried several different places before discovering El Sombrero Tapatio on the corner of 1st St. and Ave. H. I went through the drive-thru and their menu offered practically anything you could want for breakfast, but I am a huge fan of breakfast tacos. I ordered the cowboy taco and a chorizo and egg taco. They were very inexpensive and turned out to be a great bargain! Not only were they hot and fresh, and delicious, but the tortilla was stuffed full to my delight! Their salsa is wonderful as well! I loved them so much, I went back again this morning to get more. The lady at the window not only remembered me, but asked me how I was doing as well. I just love a small business that is friendly and welcoming to customers, and it shows that they appreciate everyone's business! I would highly recommend this place, and I will be going back again very soon myself!
