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.

Worst dining experience ever. Took a long time to take our order, longer to get drinks and appetizer plates, then entree was wrong. Forever to get correct entree. Not coming back.

Very inconsistent. Some days it is amazing, while others...very blah.. One thing is consistent though, their cheese dip (Queso) is always runny and clumpy. YUCK. I hope figure out how to keep the cheese dip fresh, instead of nasty...
(2)Westnashy Y.
These items shine on the menu: guacamole casero (fresh avocado roughly chopped, awesome!) , seviche (on the weekend), the shrimp cocktail (a classic), choriqueso (great flavor not too greasy-I've been served some inedible versions elsewhere). They have thot salsa with chiles Arbol, you have to ask for it.

El Sombrero on Charlotte Pike is my new pick for best Mexican in Nashville. I had liked La Hacienda before in Nolensville the most, but I'm giving the nod to El Sombrero. First, I got the cheese drip with Chorizo. It was very good. The chips are a little thicker and warm. The salsa was freshly made, but no heat. (I prefer a little heat) I got the shrimp tacos, which came with three tacos. There were four large shrimp in each taco. The shrimp tasted fresh. I was impressed that for only 10.49 I could get 12 large, good shrimp on my tacos. It was a little strange that the cabbage came in the form of a slaw, but it tasted fine and acted like the yogurt sauce for the tacos. I also liked that I got to decide how much to put on. The pico de gallo was on point and fresh. My ONLY complaint with these is that the corn shells should have been heated on a cast iron pan and crisped a little bit. They were only steamed, which made them lack flavor and fall apart easily. My wife complained about the music, but she was also very happy with her meal. The kid's meal was very good and affordable. I will be returning!!

I ordered two tostadas. They brought me a tostada and part of another tostada. They asked me how everything was I said not great and I didn't get a whole tostada. He went back to the kitchen and came back. He said that the chef said I was wrong. Excuse me. I'm paying for it and he's calling me a liar. I wouldn't go back to any of those restaurants. Go to OSCAR'S TACO SHOP for a great tostada. It's like they make it in Baja. Crispy, freshly fried tortillas. Fresh heaping cheese, lettuce, radishes and tomatoes. Nice employees. All second and third generation Hispanics from San Diego.

4 stars is the average review for El Sombrero and I would say that is pretty accurate. First off, if you think the only good Mexican restaurant is an "authentic" one where there is no cheese on anything and they serve nothing but grilled fish tacos, El Somb is not the place for you. This is a greasy Tex Mex style restaurant, and it excels at being one, but snobby Southern California Mexican food it is not (thank god). Chips and Salsa- Pretty good, chips are medium thickness, served warm. The salsa is chunky, not spicy at all, and generally refreshing. Cheese Dip- lots of options here, I went with the chorizo one and it was really good. A few other people in their reviews didn't like the plain cheese dip (communists) but given you have the option of getting cheese dip with meat in it and they foreclosed this option to get just cheese tells you everything you need to know about their judgement, or lack thereof-SLAMMED Fajitas- I got the mixed fajitas that come with BEEF RIB. Yes you read that correctly, Beef rib fajitas. Coming from Las Vegas, the literal desert of Mexican food, I had already gorged myself like a Lion on chips and cheese and then got an enormous plate of fajitas presented to me. I ate until I almost exploded, took a break, and then ate some more. The little plate of accouterments that comes with the Fajitas was pretty meh but as a wise man once said- you don't make friends with salad. I ate until i thought I was going to die, until I was seeing light spots in my field of vision, until I considered going to the bathroom and throwing up so I could eat more, I ate for hours and then looked down at my plate... I had only eaten like 1/3rd of the fajitas. Jesus. Take me now- it can only go downhill from this point Price- very reasonable. I would say the price per lb of food I consumed was like 6-7 cents. Service- ok so this was a little lackluster. Drink refills could of been more timely, and when we asked for random things like some lime or cilantro they took their time bringing it- hence the 4 stars. In closing, beef rib fajitas.

I'm hooked on their chili poblanos w/ hot corn tortillas. ASK THAT THEY PUT YOUR FOOD ON A HOT PLATE! They'll do it & you'll be glad. Margaritas, good ones, $3.50 during week. I can't testify to rest of their menu. But we eat here twice a week and just order the poblanos & taco salad w/ guacamole.

Clean and on point! Many times when you go to a Mexican restaurant it can seem dirty with old furnishings and a dilapidated exterior/interior. Not this place! It's a medium sized place, but it reeks of quality and professionalism. Friendly staff and awesome Happy Hour (3PM TO CLOSE) with $3 margaritas and $1.35 draft beer. I ordered the California Burritos and holy cow that's a monster. Awesome flavor and great value for the price. Also, the enchiladas are pretty legit. Great patio! Only downside is it's located as a part of an outdoor shopping mall. You can hear cars driving by constantly one that patio. This is the only thing keeping it from 5 stars in my opinion.

We've been going here since it opened, and I love the place! Occasionally the service is slow, but everyone is friendly, and the food tastes fresh. I can't go without ordering the guacamole casero. It's very fresh and chopped, not mushy. It needs lime juice and salt, but I like that they leave that for you to add to taste. The chicken is usually great, and the tortilla soup is another fresh, delicious option. Most items are not very hot, but you can add fresh jalapenos if you want some heat. The restaurant is very kid friendly, and I often take my three boys (0,2,5) for lunch by myself with no problems. Some of the menu items are more expensive than other Mexican restaurants, but the quality is worth it for me.

Great food. Great service. Great drinks. Highly recommend.

Good deal for amount of food. quick service. Food comes out very fast. Love their fajitas! They said they would give discounts for people employed by my employer, but apparently most have not been told about this. Many of the servers cannot understand you. The margaritas are good, though.

Virgin Mary and her baby join Emiliano Zapata and Pancho Villa in a varied mix of wall paintings at El Sombrero mexican restaurant. I suppose its an honor for the holy family to be placed at the checkout above the cash register? The food is a mouthful, and specially the Fajitas Texanas are a top of the line munch with sirloin, chicken and shrimp with onions. I mean OH YES FOR SURE! With a choice between flour or corn tortillas to go with it I say roll with the corn ones for a difference. I tried some of their cheese dip and decided it was best to upgrade to their hotter salsa for $1 extra. Most happy with awesum Chocolate Chimichanga filled with real Hershey's with strawberry and ice cream on top. El Sombrero is near Brewhouse West in a spot that was a chinese buffet of questionable repute.

Great new Mexican restaurant on the west side of town! Ice cold beer! Try the guacamole casero- yum!! And the cheese dip with chorizo. Staff is great and love the outdoor patio
(4)Sarah T.
Food is good but check your bill carefully. I've been overcharged $10.00 or more twice now. It's not an accident.
(3)Speedy G.
LOVE the Molcajete and Carnitas. : )
(5)Casey H.
I came here for dinner Friday night. He wanted Mexican and I wanted to try a new place so this was the compromise. Anyway, food came out about a minute after we ordered. Staff was very professional and efficient. I had the Tacos de Pastor - pork/onions/pineapple in 3 mid size tortillas (a little bigger than the "street taco"). I normally like my entrees more salty but I enjoyed it. He ordered some combo dish... and he really liked it too. Like Mat W. mentioned, their happy hours are from 3 to close Sunday thru Thursday. So, I look forward to having some happy hours w/ friends in the near future!

Was contacted by new management to give this place another try. For them to contact me via Yelp showed gumption and an eagerness to improve. Keep this up and keep innovating and you guys may be top Mex around that area!
(5)Brett B.
Stopped in for a quick lunch had the Huevos Rancheros and they were decent nothing special but did like the other menu items so will return to try something different, salsa was a disappointment no heat in it at all
(3)Alexandra F.
Good Mexican! I like their patio. I do not recommend the spinach and cheese enchiladas. Canned spinach is gross and I thought it would be fresh cooked spinach. However, speedy Gonzalez lunch is yum! I will definitely go back here to enjoy some margaritas outside when it's warm.
(4)Dew T.
We're regulars because it's always good - and it's close to home. We get cheese dip every time. I really enjoy their shrimp Acapulco and their veggie quesadilla. Husband gets the pollo fundido. They just added ceviche to the menu. Can't wait to try it!!! I love Cinco de Mayo more so the 10 minute drive is worth it.
(4)Blane H.
The food is always great, the service is fast and the drinks Specials are the best in town! I always take out of towners here!!

Met my friend Anna here for lunch one weekday, and we basically had the place to ourselves. I like it when the food is good, the servers are attentive but don't bug you, and you can actually have a conversation and hear each other. All three were the case here. We had the chunky guacamole appetizer - yum. It's super chunky, not like a typical smashed up guacamole at all. Because of my spice-wimp factor, the japs were on the side, which even super spicy fan Anna was happy about because they are in season and were super hot. I had a California Burrito - really good. Covered the oversize plate hugeness draped in yummy queso... what more could anyone ask for? Nice chicken to other goodies ratio, and I think I even detected some celery in there... that was a first. (And yes, I ate it all. The diet can start tomorrow!) The restaurant is quite clean, furnishings and decor are typical Mexican place, but again on the cleaner side. Wouldn't hesitate at all to visit here again when in the area.

Cheese dip was meh; not a fan. It was too bland. Margarita was not very good either. Ordered chicken taco & cheese quesadilla. The taco was cold and the quesadilla was decent. We waited about 15 minutes on food and mine came out wrong and then cold. :( My husband ordered a chicken and shrimp dish and he said it was decent but not impressed. Won't be going back. I had high hopes for this place because of the reviews. :(
