Mexican Cuisine
If you enjoy Taco Tuesday, then you have officially fallen in love with the Mexican Food. The main grain of Mexican cuisine is maize. Also known as corn, maize is grown for the past 9000 years after the crop was discovered by the people in Mayan civilization. Mexican empire flourished when they started growing beans, tomatoes, chili pepper, sweet potato and cactus. Till this date these ingredients are used in cooking authentic Mexican dishes and drinks.
Great use of spices, fresh chili pepper dishes like fajitas, tortilla chips, corn chips, salsa, chimichangas, burritos, nachos and quesadillas are invented in America. But when you are looking for authentic Mexican food then you must find a restaurant in the city that serves Rajas con Queso, Garbanzo in a Guajillo Chile Sauce, Pork Filled Chiles Rellenos, Chiles en Nogada, Molcajete Salsa, Pico de Gallo and Frijoles de la Olla. An eye-opening fact – Mexican don't like their food hot. They use fresh chili and other spices to create a flavor that lingers in your mouth.
Mexican food is great for those who are Gluten Intolerant as they use Corn instead of wheat in most of their dishes. Also, you can easily find many beans based Mexican dishes. Another dish which didn't get similar glory as tacos or nachos is the Mexican hot chocolate. If you love something hot on a chilly day, then go for Mexican Hot Chocolate. On merry days, you can enjoy the authentic Mexican Drinks like Tequila, Mezcal, Tecuí, Sotol, Bacanora, Charanda, Posh O Pox, Puebla and Pulque. Mexican Cuisine is for people who enjoy strong drinks and hearty meals.

Great salsa, crispy, warm chips! Food was fresh and full of flavor! Margaritas were very good, fresh not colored liquid like some serve. Wait time to be seated was long but for a Saturday night at prime time, not too bad I guess. Service was very good and attentive. Nice atmosphere but loud. Not a problem for us but for some might be. Overall it was very nice!

Very good tex mex. The frozen house margarita is awesome and healthy. Surf and turf is perfect for low carb dining. Spiced chips are delicious too.

In town for business and had a very enjoyable dinner with 5 others. The food was decent and service was also okay. I would recommend this restaurant as a good date spot.

Disclaimer: I am a native of Southern California so my bar for Mexican food is rather high. Came here while traveling for work and sat at the bar. Bar tender was very friendly and attentive. Ordered the tamale platter. Masa was good, but of the 3 sauces the green sauce was the only one with flavor. Would be nice if they had pork as well as chicken, but I know how long it takes to make tamales so I understand the reduced selection. The martini I had was a shame. Ordered it on the rocks, was served it in a martin glass with ice in it. No. Absolutely not. Martini on the rocks means in a rocks glass with ice. Also ordered it dirty with extra olives. Bar tender informed me after he served it that they don't have olive juice, so he muddled the olive instead. What?! A full bar should have olive juice on hand, but you should definitely tell the customer before hand if you don't have it. And why would anyone enjoy a muddled olive? I will say the bar tender asked another staffer o If they had a new jar of olives and reshook my drink with some juice, but it wasn't tangy enough for my taste. Also never got those extra olives, which would have helped tremendously. So overall good ambience, ok food, terrible martinis.

I have wrestled with my thoughts on Sombra for a while. I'll settle for a perfectly acceptable 3 stars. The food is mostly tasty but is a mixed bag. The prices are reasonable. The atmosphere is pretty great too. I'll start off with the bad - the guacamole and queso are always disappointing. I don't really get how that happens, but it is always a let down. The rice and beans that come with most dishes are not so tasty. The main menu is pretty good, and there is a decent range of things to try. I love the black bean tamale and the burrito is pretty tasty. I would put this one in the same category as Jaco's Tacos - it is a little creative spin on typical Tex-Mex. Jaco's however, is clearly more fresh and flavorful with everything. Sombra just disappoints in a lot of ways. It is decent value, and there are some dishes that I like, so I will return, but know there are better options.

Local favorite. Nice atmosphere and good drinks. You save a little before 6pm. Knife and Fork Ribs fall off the bone and are among the best around. Smoke-Free!!!!!
(4)Chris P.
It was good but seemed like the same thing I could get at El Sombrero for a few dollars cheaper. I will give them a four star because we had really good food and service but again, same food as others in Jackson metro.
(4)Don M.
Went a few weeks ago and the food was OK, but it. The service was just aweful though and if you have a group of 8 or more, they don;t just hit you with the standard 15% tip, they hit you up for 20% tip. It wouldn't have been that bad but they don't list that anywhere on the menu or any place in the restaurant. We asked about it when checking out and the manager had no reason why they don't list it. I've been in food service and understand the tips are where you make you're money. It wasn't very busy and took 15 minutes to get a drink. I'll NEVER go back
(2)Chris G.
I didn't have a meal but the margaritas and nacho app was great. Fun atmosphere. I sat outside and felt like this was the afternoon watering hole
(4)David M.
Great margaritas. Very disappointed in the tamale - ordered the goat cheese/black bean entree. It was $12-13 and was 90% masa. I dug out the little bit of filling I could find. The chips were nice and crispy. My friend s
(2)STEVEN W.
The ribs were awesome. Sweet sauce and great meat on the ribs. The coleslaw that came with the meal was sweet and hot, a perfect combination. The chips are great as they appear to have a chili dusting on them. The hot sauce was very fresh tasting and spiced perfectly. I was at fist put off by the rating, however it is very nice inside and worth trying. The margarita was also perfect.
(5)Patricia S.
Four of us stopped in on a Friday night. We ordered 2 apps and 4 different main entrees. Everything was excellent! Many items to choose on the menu with a lot of them having different ingredients than what is normally expected. Service was a little slow. The waiter said that they weren't prepared for so many people. They need to remedy that, weekends are always busier if you have a great restaurant. I recommend trying the white Sangria, delicious!
(4)Braxton B.
Came in on my lunch break. Very clean, Michael was my waiter, friendly and attentive. Had a salad with grilled steak. Flavorful. Chips and salsa were good. Has full bar but was going back to work so no tequilla, this time. Service was good, food good, overall good time. Will come back off the clock to sample drink menu!
(4)Ieisha E.
I'm not sure if I ordered the wrong thing or what. The food is quite bland. The waiter was nice and the building was clean and well kept. Those are the most positive things that I could say. I visited about 2 years ago and haven't desired to come back. I once thought about giving a second try but I had a relative to confirm that the food was bland. I don't remember there being a great menu variety or selection either.
(2)M D.
I got Salmonella poisoning from the huevos rancheros so I won't spend a dime here ever again. When I called the manager he was rude about it. However, the $5 margaritas during happy hour are the best in the area and I recommend them. They're reportedly only 97 calories. Just don't eat the food!
(2)Coral E.
Best chicken chimichangas! Cocktails are great and so are the appetizers. Service can be a little slow, but their friendliness makes up for it.
(3)Richard J.
Service is usually pretty good. I am very impressed with the Chicken Nachos, the Smothered Chicken entree, the Mexico City Enchilada Platter, the guacamole, the queso dip, the chips and the salsa among other things. However the steak menu items haven't been my favorite. Usually the steak is not a great cut of meat.
(4)S H.
Here it goes- Stale chips served with salsa made from canned tomatoes, raw pieces of garlic and hardly any herbs. Enchiladas served with subpar meat and rubbery strange corn tortillas that looked and tasted unappetizing. One star goes to the tasty but a little to sweet margarita... at least it was made from fresh lime juice. For the price paid I think people should expect better.
(1)Sheila S.
Other conference attendees raved about the food here so we rushed over but were unimpressed. To start with the best part: the margaritas were delicious. The service was superb. The atmosphere is lovely and there were many menu options, most appearing quite upscale. The food was boring. The cheese dip tasted vaguely of velveeta and I could barely taste the Hatch chiles bragged about on the menu; the guacamole was just okay but I suppose October isn't really avocado season. There was no heat in anything. I had cheese and onion enchiladas and the feta on top made them too salty; I didn't even finish my plate. The buttercrunch cake was interesting, served on a hot skillet so crispy and tasty, but so sweet the two of us could not finish half of one. $20 for dinner is too much for food I'd just as soon have not bothered eating. But again, the margaritas were delicious.
(2)Brett B.
The food was great but a little overpriced for what you get. The chips were seasoned and delicious. I got the ground beef burrito and it was just a normal burrito, but the cheese sauce made up for it. Best queso dip I've ever tasted.
(4)Joseph K.
Excellent Mexican food in a tastefully decorated setting along wth first class entertainment on Sundays.
(4)Baron M.
Sombra might not have the most authentic Mexican food or even the best Mexican food in the area, but it does have an original menu and different take on things. I can appreciate the effort they are putting into trying new things for our area. Last time we were here, the service was prompt and the waitress was quite nice. I thought everything I had, from the chips and salsa to my main dish, was great. The margaritas they make are very good as well. On the negative side, the drafts (for the same 12 ounces, at least that is what they thought each draft was) were more expensive than bottled beer. I also teetered on giving them only 3 stars based on their tortillas. My wife had the enchiladas and they were almost ruined by the tortillas. They are homemade, but they do not represent the nice, thin, delicate nature of a tortilla. I'm not sure if they use the same type of tortilla on tacos, fajita, etc, but they should change it. I wouldn't order anything with that tortilla. I could, though, see it working on the enchiladas if they were done in a more traditional way where they are slowly baked all day long, letting the sauce and cheese baste and simmer for 12 hours.
(4)Rob B.
Had lunch here with my wife. We were both very impressed by the food and the service! I went with the fish tacos, and they were mind blowing! She went with the pork buritto and she let me have one little bitty bite....LOL We will be going back again!
(4)Alan P.
Went for lunch today, first time visit. Place its clean . I ordered the chili it was meaty but way over salted. My daughter in law could not eat her chili. As I am from Tacoma WA I do not know if this is a franchised business but I got the feeling that it was. It certainly was not an authentic Mexican Restaurant.
(2)Lisa S.
AW!! Sometimes I really hate to hammer restaurants BUT SOME JUST DESERVE IT! I honestly don't like to 'dog' locally owned places. I LOVE SUPPORTING THE HOME TEAM but this place................they HAVE To go back to the drawing board. Sombra was SO SUPRISINGLY bad I was just shocked. Considering the quality of the other restaurants in their ' group' it made no sense for this one to be SO 'GOD AWFUL!'. If I'd not already heard/read unfavorable reviews I would have just chalked it all up to a bad day/ bad chef and maybe tried again - THAT WILL NOT BE HAPPENING! Where to start .... went alone for a quick lunch on a Tuesday. Only about 5 other tables, the décor was nice but a lil' over done with 'southwest flavor' - unlike the food. I was not expecting authentic Mexican cuisine but TexMex. Chips and salsa arrived - the chips had the orange seasoning and much too much of it. SALT - TEE! The salsa appeared and tasted like canned stewed tomatoes. Offering NO tastes of lime, onion, or cilantro. SO BORING ! The server was nice enough but not genuine in knowledge or recommendations. If you don't have an opinion just say that - but don't give me the EVERYTHING IS SO GOOD B.S. I ordered a taco with beef tamale and beans. The taco by FAR was the best item even with an unheated shell and unseasoned beef. The beans, as you can see in the pic, were SO DENSE you could only laugh. I needed a knife, they were kinda like the plastic food. When you pick it up it lifts in one piece. HILARIOUS! Now for the tamale - where to begin. Firstly, I learned the art of tamale making with a childhood friend every New Years with her entire Mexican family. To this day I make them on New Year's and fill my freezer. This tamale had a barrier of masa like NO OTHER!! it was SO dense and dry with a thin stream of fairly well seasoned meat. The sauce did nothing to mask the awkwardness of the texture............... I could not finish the plate as I will not finish this review....................................................
(1)Daniel G.
Tasted like CHEAP Mexican food. THEIR PRICES ARE NOT CHEAP. They served our goat cheese tamale COLD (which is one of there specialties). Beans were super salty and tasted like lard. Cheese dip was cheap tasting and served chunky and not HOT. Service was great, food was HORRIBLE.
(1)Karla T.
This was my third and last time to give Sombra a chance. The one common thread with all the food is salt. Everything is over salted. Atmosphere and service is nice but it doesn't make up for the bad food.
(1)Buck C.
Great margaritas, great location and the space is nice. The food unfortunately was a disappointment. Had a large tamale wrapped in a banana leaf stuffed with goodies, but it was bland. The other dishes at our table didn't impress either.
(2)Alli B.
Cold! Bring a jacket, females. Salsa is not my favorite. Just a bunch of chopped up tomatoes. Also the chips were nothing to rave about. The rest of the food was pretty good though.
(3)Gregory G.
OK...It's been a while since I've written a review and I have to be fair when writing this one. When you put the word "Kitchen" in your name you would expect the flavors for the food to jump out at you, but this place didn't have anything jumping out except bad service and tasteless food. Upon arriving to Sambra we were seated immediately but waited 15 to 20 minutes before our table was acknowledged, I actually had to get up and let the hostess know that we were waiting too long. When someone finally came over they took out drink orders and lunch orders. Upon receiving the drinks, there was something floating in the glass of sweet tea, it was of course replaced. The Tamales we ordered as an appetizer were very salty and we could not determine what they actually tasted like. We order the Friday special which consisted of Catfish (3 very small pieces more like slivers) Jalapeno slaw and french fries. The catfish, though small, tasted good but the jalapeno flavored slaw was horrible, we sat there trying to determine what it taste like as well. The other meal ordered was compared to lighter fluid in taste. As I stated i wanted to be fair with this evaluation, and I will say this; the waitress was very kind, but she talked so soft that I had to translated for the guys at the table. But overall she was very nice and did her best to ensure our visit was memorable. I forgot to mention, she was bring out a flaming plate of food and burned her finger and nail badly, but stayed there and performed like a real trooper. Now, would I ever go there to eat again.....No! The food was not great and the waiting to be served was horrible. Also, I suggest that they change their music, if people have to wait like we did for service, they will fall asleep, it needs more energy.
(1)Charlotte W.
Gross. Way overpriced for flavorless Mexican food. Seriously not one good thing on the menu. Trust me and save your money on something else!!
(1)Lisa P.
Very high quality ingredients, and the food is top notch. Not a traditional Mexican restaurant and I liked that...more upscale and definitely worth checking out. The cheese dip and tortilla chips are divine as well as the chicken enchiladas.
(4)Allison S.
Ate at Sombra with my family of four and had a great experience. The house margaritas are fantastic, and the cheese dip was a nice appetizer. We all really enjoyed the chips and mild, chunky salsa. Overall the food is more Tex-Mex than Mexican, something to be aware of if you're expecting more traditional fare. Two in our party ordered the Conchinita Pibil (pulled pork shoulder in banana leaves) and both would definitely order again; the pork was tender and had good flavor. I ordered the tacos al carbon (one steak, one chicken) which were good, but were a bit light on the meat, with plenty of fajita vegetables to go around. The tortilla soup was also good; hot and flavorful. We had excellent service--fast, friendly, knowledgeable--and will definitely return.
(4)Sean S.
Great staff. Excellent top shelf margaritas. Very good Mexican fare. Especially the tamales. Great atmosphere in bar area with 4 large TV's for watching sports. Will definitely be back.

Sombra Mexican Kitchen. Has a nice ring to it, and a great look. Definitely in a class by itself in a very crowded market of Mexican restaurants in the Jackson area. Sombra is different. They are focusing on a higher scale restaurant as well as a higher quality list of ingredients. I want to come right out and say, I detest the Tex-Mex restaurants in the Jackson area. All of them that I have tried. They all have the same cheap ingredients, the food is over salted and overall just poor quality. Sambra is the latest restaurant from the folks that brought us Amerigo and Char, that in itself makes this place interesting. These guys know what they are doing for sure. I do not expect any place like this to be Mexican food. I wanted it to be good Tex-Mex with high quality ingredients and decent portions at a reasonable price and I was not disappointed at all. I love beef fajitas. They are 100% Tex-Mex and that is a good thing. I have ordered them at all of the restaurants I have been to in MS and I have yet to find any that were not a step above dog food. The meat is always overcooked, oversalted, curled up and nasty. It is like the Mexican restaurants get a ingredient checklist and they choose the "Cheap/tough/salty" option. When I got the fajitas at Sambra the meat was tender and high quality steak, not a bag of frozen beef tips. Tortillas are cooked in-house. Mine were a bit overcooked, but were 1000x better than the frozen ones found everywhere else. Salsa was chunky and mild. I like a bit more spice and ordered some Enchilada green sauce and it was very nice and moderately spicy. Funny thing, my wife went today and said the salsa was hot. She has a good spice meter so that tells me they may have added some spice on the fly. I look forward to my next trip and plan on exploring the menu for some more traditional tex-mex dishes. I admit, I did not look the menu over as I wanted to see how they hit the Fajita meter and I am glad to say, they passed with flying colors.

I left the restaurant about 30 minutes ago. Here is my honest opinion: mediocre at best. Sure the building is great. The location is even better, however that's about the only nice thing I have to say. I went with a friend and her daughter upon her suggestion. We were put on a 15 minute wait, so I took this time to look at the menu. I was sorely disappointed to see that they did not offer any vegan options and very few vegetarian choices either. My choices included a salad without cheese or nothing. Upon being seated we received chips and salsa as expected, but I could not eat the salsa because it was very spicy. When I asked the waiter, who seemed to be lacking a few brain cells, if he could knew of any vegan options. He had me tell him what vegan is. Ok. So he went to ask someone and then gave me an option of a bean burrito or a salad with no cheese. I ordered the burrito. It was a bean burrito with no sauce and a side of beans. I ate it, but felt deprived. My friend got one of the salads but was disappointed in the contents of the salad. It looked very plain to me. It seemed like it was missing quality and variety. My friend did say the 10 dollar margarita was good. So then the check came. The charge for the bean burrito was 10.50$. I told the waiter I found the charge excessive. To his credit, he changed the charge to a kid's burrito for 5$. I honestly think Taco Bell has a much tastier burrito. If you go there, just know that it's overpriced, mediocre food and the excessive prices you are paying is to pay the rent, which I am quite sure is sky high.

Very good service. We especially like the Sombra margarita. A nice, fresh approach to Mexican cooking.
(4)Joel B.
I had an exceptionally great lunch here today. The staff was professional and very friendly. A Mariachi singer walked through the venue singing "Brown Eyed Girl" among other things. The Chicken Chimichanga came topped with both sour cream and guacamole and was most excellent. The price was a little high for lunch, but this place earned it. This would make for a great date locale.
(5)Tara S.
Eh. Food was kind of disappointing. Definitely not "upscale Mexican". Better described as being a Taqueria. It wasn't terrible, but it wasn't very good, either. I called in a take out order around 7:30 on a Wednesday. Was a little surprised when they said 20-30 minutes, but ok. When I got there 25 min later, I stood at the counter for a few minutes before anyone looked up or offered to help me. Then, all I heard for the next five minutes was 'Just a second'. My ticket got screwed up, but the staff was really apologetic and even discounted my order significantly. So then the food. I ordered the enchiladas; one chicken, one beef, one pork. Came with rice and beans, and I had an order of cheese dip and chips and salsa. Best thing I ate was the chips. The sauce was one the side for the enchiladas, which pretty much just makes it a taco with sauce. The meat fillings were ok; tortillas got cold pretty quickly since they weren't baked in the sauce. The traditional (red) enchilada sauce was really not tasty. The first flavor that hit was very bitter and almost burnt. After that, the other flavors came out and it was pretty good, but that first part just made it not worth it. Rice and beans were super bland. Not worth the calories. Salsa was ok. Seemed fresh made. It was very chunky, which is not my personal preference, but the flavor was good. Cheese dip was identical to what they have at Border Cafe. White and yellow cheeses, with peppers, onions, and cilantro. Very bland and yet salty. The chips were pretty good. They're coated in seasoning, which is a nice change. They're also fresh made from real tortillas, vs. the crappy thin chips that taste like they just came out of a bag. Overall, I would go back here if I was really really craving Mexican and it was the closest place. If you feel like driving an extra ten minutes, I would...

One star for nice looking restaurant. One star for good service. Skip the food. Just buy a bag of chips at the front desk and take them home with a jar of store bought dip. We had layered dip. Soup bowl of chicken and beans with a thick layer of microwaved cheese on top. Cheese was tasty. I had meat mush burrito, blob of refried beans and some non descript rice. Hubby had fish tacos which he labeled as fair. All food was forgetable. Dessert was another mess but sweet. Will not be going back the next time I am in Jackson.
(2)Billy T.
Great Place. Went with a bunch of guys and we had something different. The food is OK. Nothing special just C average mexican food and a little pricey. I had the chicken enchaladas with rice and refried beens. They put a twist on the beans and I did not care for them. Overall mine was a C. One of the guys got an off the menu burger. Think is was the chimichanga burger or something like that and it was good and only half eaten. One had Huevos Rancheros which he said was very good along with the white sangrea which he said was excellent. So it was a mixed bag. Service was good. Place is very nice but at best I would say average.

I went to Sombra Saturday evening with two friends. The restaurant's atmosphere is great--open and airy. The service was really good. The margaritas were delicious, but the food was just so-so. We started with the guacamole, which was really pretty bland. We added salt, which helped some, but I wouldn't get it again. One of my friends and I had the fish tacos. Again, very bland. They had "jalapeno cole slaw" on them, which you would think would at least have a little kick to it, but not so much. My other friend had a burrito, and he said it was pretty good. I'll give Sombra another try, because I really want to like it. I most definitely will avoid the guacamole and the fish tacos, however.
