El Sombrero Mexican Restaurant - Mexican restaurant in Norman - 1424 W Lindsey St, USA

Arrived and was seated right away. Chips & salsa were served with my ordered tea. Was just a tiny bit disappointed with the chips. Once the main plate arrived and I started sampling, I was surprised how good everything was. The service was excellent, place was clean and well lit. The music was spot on and even had a song from an musician from my home town singing in Spanish. Even though the chips were just ok, the rest of the food, service, and ambience were excellent and this prompted me to give a 4.6 rating rounded up.

This was a great place to eat. We like breakfast food and it was great they had it and the steak and eggs with potatoes was delicious. Also, the kids chicken and French fries was extremely good. If you want some good chicken and fries this is the place to go haha the service was great and we will be going back for sure. Only reason for the 4 stars is to try and be transparent with our opinion, and to us these are the items we thought weren’t the best: - in our opinion, the cheese sauce was not great - the chips weren’t as good as other places - the tortillas were average tortillas This is just our opinion and experience for that day and in no way are criticizing. Just wanted to help give insight for other people. We highly recommend trying this place!

Went on a date here, and everything was amazing. I really loved how fast our food was brought to us and everything tasted amazing. I've never been to a mexican restaurant where you got cheese and salsa to start with chips so that was a big plus for me! Definitely looking forward to dining here again soon!!

I don’t know who runs this place but the food is bland, the horchata is watered down/bought from the store, the “queso” is also watered down & flavorless. Id give them a -2 if I could (we’ve tried them 2 times bc maybe they were having an off day, no, food is just bad) if you’re Hispanic you will not like it here

My mother in law is new to Norman so we decided to try a new place out. It took over 20 mins to get chips. Our order was being taken before our appetizer was ever on our table. Waiter never checked on table. Acted annoyed when we needed something. Barely any refills etc. They were not busy. There was us an another table. We came in with a party of 8. They automatically charged a convenience fee of $15. For us bringing them more customers? Shouldn’t I be offered a discount? I normally tip well but based on service and convenience fee I did not tip. Food was okay. Queso was watered down.

THIS place is the hidden gem of Norman. From the customer service to every single dish I have tried there and I am working my way though the menu. Hands down the single best Mexican food around. 10 out of 10.

I was looking for a breakfast adventure, but not go miles north. Heard they offered breakfast right here, on Lindsey, 1 block west of Berry. Drove past it twice. Finally found it across from Arvest Bank. Man, they offer LOTS of interesting Mexican breakfasts. And traditional American too. I tried the Mexican BREAKFAST Juevos con Papas right away. I loved the Refried beans. And all the veggies they stir-fried in with the potatoes. Could hardly wait until lunch time. Tried the COMBINATION Special Mexican Dinner: Enchilada (beef), Tamale w/ chili con carne topping, Beef Crispy Taco, w/ Rice & Refried Beans. I ordered as small a portion of SOUP Caldo de Camaron as I could get (Shrimp w/ veggies). It was ultra good, savory, intensely flavorful. I wanted a half tablespoon of that with each bite of my entree! Do they have beer, I asked. Yes! I got Tecate in a chilled mug w/ heavy lime pulp on the rim. Very quenching. Also remarkable, both for breakfast or lunch and dinner entrees, they bring you Tortilla chips, Salsa, and Queso dip right away. And for all type meals, they offer free Sopapillas for Desert. ( I declined, NO ROOM left.)

I ordered super late, honeslty, wasn't even thinking about time or anything. I felt so bad on how unprepared i was, They are amazing restaurant, great staff, friendly, great environment. I owe them next time I go, cause the food was great(: Love eating here, definitely RECOMMEND! Thank you.
