Another one of those wowzers. It looked good as I pulled up but my mind was seriously blown as I walked right in. The host was seriously completely perfect. He was super kind and nice and so great to chat with for a bit. Then when the food order was delivered I was seriously surprised. A lot of Mexican restaurants are either the Tex version which is boring and some are just blah but this one was a legitimate Mexican flavor for every single bite. This was my first time here but I would absolutely go back for lunch or dinner. It was super great vibe and service and food too. read more

Ambiance- family oriented high volume type Mexican restaurant. Service- no negative feedback to offer. Food- unfortunately, severely lacking. What I ordered was the steak enchiladas. Disappointing to say the least. After waiting 15 plus minutes for the entree, food was cold to the touch. The rice was dry, and the beans were watery and smothered with cheese as to hide the recycling of it. The steak was dry and way overcooked. The steak looks like it was recycled as well. Summation- price is in line with the type of meal ordered, but the quality was not evident. Clearly my experience- my review is concise. read more

Los Sombreros - Basuda - Mexican Near Me - Bessemer, Alabama

This is my absolute favorite Mexican restaurant and by far the best food in North Alabama. Great atmosphere! Amazing service, thank you Luis and the guacamole to die for. The Mole sauce on the enchiladas is amazing and the shrimp cocktail is huge and very good. Just love this place. So much so I eat here almost every other night. Remember to support your local eateries so we do not starve. read more

Did not enjoy at all. The best thing was the salsa. The tamale masa was super thick. Taco was flat The chicken was good and lots of it. The margarita was just mix read more

Came here after a long day at Alabama Adventure, me and my family were ready for some eats, and we found this little place to eat at. We sat down and our waiter, who was very sweet and just made the atmosphere wholesome and fun, asked us for our orders. I got the tacos w beans and rice, and they were excellent, the taco was a little dry but the flavor was phenomenal. But oh boy, THE SALSAAAA! I would die for the salsa here! If I'm in Bessemer again I'm 100% eating here! read more

Even their hamburgers are good! But Mexican dishes are outstanding! Chips and salsa too.

Mediocre at best. Came here for dinner. I wasn't overly impressed by much of anything. Menu was standard. They bring chips when you sit. Not good at spacing people out at all. I ordered the chicken flautas and horchata. My husband ordered their enchiladas. The horchata mug was ginormous. That thing had to be 40 ounces! I had enough left to bring a full to go cup with me when we left, and so I did. The food was pretty bland. We asked for hot sauce and they didn't bring it. They brought mild sauce, so we again asked for super hot sauce. They finally brought the good stuff. Our bill was about $25. I guess you get what you pay for. Not much in this little town and we didn't want to drive 30 more min to a better restaurant. read more

Great lunch after church. Wife had the stuffed chili peppers, she said was wonderful. I had huevos rancheros and it was the best I have had in the Birmingham area and one of the best we've had north of the border. Service was good and the young lady waiting on us was very helpful with our Spanish. Nice touch. We will be back soon. read more

Our service is always great & the food is spectacular!! The restaurant is so clean & neatly decorated.

I was looking for a quick bite of quality food...I got it. My first time at this restaurant. I walked in and was directed to the take out area, which was in the center of the restaurant. Ordered my food and told it would be out in 5 minutes. Yes, 5 minutes my food was given to me. Chicken chimichanga was stuffed, beans were well prepared and the rice was moist and flavorful. I will be back! read more

I ordered the Tacos Mexicanos which came with 3 tacos. For protein I selected carne asada, chicken and chorizo. Order came out pretty quick. Flavor was good. The ambiance was quieter and peaceful as this was on a Tuesday and at 8pm. Would recommend. read more

Great work staff and excellent food. We have frequented this restaurant often when in the Bessemer, AL, area. If you're sensitive to your sodium/salt intake, be cautious. read more

outstanding service and food. The only negative I can come up with is that the enchilada supreme was so good I ate every bite and brought home no leftovers! lol read more

They have great recipes and the one thing I like the most, consistency. The food is always prepared the same way. They're service is second to none. Everyone pitches in and helps each other which gives the customer a great dining experience. This is a wonderful restaurant. read more

Very friendly staff, excellent food, and the atmosphere is a plus as well. Definitely worth the distance if you live a good distance away. read more

Food is ok but could be better I had a steak quesadilla and they were like way too many peppers in it way too And like they said it was sauteed peppers and it was way too many peppers and it didn't taste sauteed at all read more

I've been to this restaurant about 6 times over the years. The last few times, I have noticed that they give you garbage treatment if you ask for carry out. Today was the THIRD time, I got this treatment and this will the last time this restaurant gets my business. When I entered, the two servers at the door were in a conversation. I said, "Hello! I'd like to order carry out." They glanced at me and then immediately turned back to one another and ignored me. I put the menu back and walked out. This is almost the exact behavior from my last carryout order for "batano": a Keto friendly meal of shrimp, chicken, steak, avocado and jalapeños. I love to support small businesses and local ones at that. This one thrives because there are not as many standard Mexican options nearby. I'll drive a bit further for decent customer service vs rude disregard for mediocre food. I'll drive a few more minutes and go to Habaneros for the same fare with better hospitality. read more

The peach & strawberry margaritas were great! The food came out faster than my drink and was excellent. The service was just ok...didn't ask if needed extra plate (sharing) or check back on us much. He left the check on table at end but never told us to pay on way out so we had to go ask someone. The prices were excellent and the cheesecake is a must try! read more

Best black bean soup with pico and sour cream. Chips and salsa waiting on you and wonderful frozen margaritas, many flavors. Fast friendly service and chicken wings to die for read more

5 stars for great food and service. Everyone in my party of 13 said their food was yummy. There's usually at least one person who isn't totally satisfied but not this time. They also have an entire vegetarian section on their menu so that's a big plus for me who's currently vegan. The waitress asked if it was my dad and aunt's birthday and surprised them with a song and shots of tequila! No complaints. They did forget to not add cheese on my beans but they fixed it :) read more

food was great service was okkkk the place was nice read more

So, I visited some friends and we decided to go and have lunch at this restaurant. My friends had mentioned that the food was great. As soon as we walked in we were greeted and they sat us down at a table. Our server was some what unhappy, she took our drink order and our food order. We were out of chips, salsa, and drink. We had to ask a different server for things we needed while our server was on her phone. In all service was not that great but the food was really good. We order t bone Steak, medium rare, it was delicious. I forgot to take a picture. read more

Los Sombreros - American Steak Special. - Mexican Near Me - Bessemer, Alabama

This use to be a good restaurant. We've eaten here many times over the past 5 years. We went there this week, and found hair and what looked to be wax paper in one of our meals. Gross. To top it off as we were leaving, a cockroach scampered across the dining room floor. Will never ever go back. read more

Nice clean little restaurant. We came at 2 so not very many people. Nice enough people. I had the steak enchiladas with white queso. Good but not great. Chips and salsa both pretty good. Never had to wait on a refill and the price is definitely cheaper than where we live 6hrs east of here. Not the best but would recommend. read more

Best Carne Asada tacos in the city. Reasonable price and sublime service. This place ROCKS! I can't wait for Cinco de Mayo, they offer the best ($,prices and kick ass service). This establishment knows what they are doing, so I suggest that everyone slide through and check this Hispanic oasis for yourselves. read more

They have definitely updated their menu in the past 4+ years since I've been here. They now have more variety than your typical quesadillas, burritos, and tacos. Glad to see many Mexican restaurants following this trend. I was impressed with the updated menu but the main thing we were after is chili rellenos with chicken. Do you know how rare it is to find a restaurant that will make it with chicken instead of beef or shrimp? Chicken chili rellenos are his favorite Mexican dish and they're very time consuming to make at home. So glad we can find them here. I can't attest to how the new menu items taste but I'm super curious, so if you try it be sure to review! Salsa is still the bomb diggity! Update: came back just a few weeks later. I got the Burrito Maravilla(can't remember how to spell). It's stuffed with chicken strips and refried beans then topped with verde and cheese sauce. Not a huge burst of flavor but still very good especially served with guac, pico, and sour cream. Also when I asked if they still had the spicy green salsa he said they had something different with the new ownership. He brought me 3 different sauces a milder red sauce-sort of like a chili sauce, a jalapeño salsa-very good briny flavor, and a spicy guacamole-OMG this one's got a kick, less like guacamole and more like a fire filled avocado. Do try if you like heat! read more
