    Good food but there was hair all thru my salsa everytime I dipped a chip in it it came bacc out with hair strings

    Lime margarita ($8.25) & Michelada w/Pacifico ($8.25) 5/11/20
    Jenni M.

    Cancer recently took the life of a dear sweet friend of mine. On Mother's Day actually. She was 36-years-young and left behind a husband and 6-year-old daughter. Of course I sobbed hard about it, then my own daughters, ages 5 and 6 asked if I was okay... and reminded me that they were hungry. Lol. Life is beautiful! Los Sombreros was on Postmates. Delivery is available for margaritas (strawberry or lime) and Micheladas (one or two beers) upon ID check. Our order came to our door really fast (5/11/20). Like only a half hour for the following: + Kid combo - cheese enchilada & fries $9.25... she gobbled most of it up + #13 flautas con guacamole (chicken or beef) $12.75... hubby really liked the moist chicken with the crispy outer fried tortilla plus they omitted the sour cream as requested + two shrimp tacos $6.75... our first-born requested these and didn't give me a chance to try them. Not a single leftover smaller-sized shrimp. + Cameron's al mojo de ajo $15.25... this was savory and comforting. The larger shrimp was a bit cold and slightly overcooked, but still good & flavorful. It came on a bed of rice, a side of seasoned fries, and a small salad along with my choice of two tortillas. Definitely recommend the flour ones, but wish I could have tried their corn too. Filling meal. + lime margarita $8.25... this came salted, sealed and frozen-style, however, it was pretty good (hubby let me try it - he's learning finally. Lol.) + Michelada $8.25 for one choice of beer. I went for Pacifico which was delivered ice cold. Two beers is also an option, but I already had my at-home tequila buzz going in honor of the aforementioned friend. Takeout is also available during the COVID-19 quarantine. Please support small businesses & family-owned restaurants like this one especially at this time.

    Chips, salsa and XX!
    John C.

    Decided to give Los Sombreros a try. Came well after dinner rush, so there were only 3 other tables with guests when I walked in. Was greeted quickly and asked for XX, when I received my cerveza it was good and cold. Placed my order for #14 plate, Chicken Mole, Beans & Rice with four tortillas. (came with also a small salad with thousand island dressing) When I received my food it was piping hot. And was pretty darn good. If you decide to try this plate, be prepared it's spicy. But I like it that way. Waitress also let me know it was spicy, which was fine. Waitress was attentive and nice. Since I went after "dinner" time/rush I have no idea how service would be then during the dinner rush. Can only comment for period I was there. The salsa that came with the chips was really good. I'm a person that never give full stars, where it may be deserved. But my theory is, there is always room for improvement. I don't have anything bad to say about Los Sombreros. My 4 stars should be 4.5, as the .5 is the part where there is always room for improvement. Restaurant was nice and clean, seats/booths were not worn. I didn't make a trip to the restroom, but from the appearance of the interior I trust the mens restroom was clean. I'll definitely go back. And try another plate. Cheers!

    Enchiladas.

    This place is terrible. Food was cold I asked the waitress if she can heat it up and gave me attitude. I kept my cool didn't want to start shit. Plus I was really hungry. When the waitress came back with my food the plate was hot and the food was still cold. I had a choice to leave but I was really hungry. So I ate the enchiladas I was so disappointed. This was the a lot to come and eat good food back in the day.

    Tacos and Chile rellenos
    Al M.

    Not only did they make me get a stomach ache but both Chile Rellenos had to be the worst tasting canned Chile Rellenos I've ever eaten. Cool literally just stuffed cheese into some canned Chiles and added some canned tomato sauce. No salt no flavor and no eggs or breading on Chile Rellenos. Wow talk about cafeteria food I can't believe how bad the food here is. Should have known when I walked in on a Friday night and nobody was eating inside. I give them an F and if you want good Mexican tacos don't come here go to Gavilan across the street. Maybe I'll try them another day but my stomach hurts so bad from their badly cooked food.

    I waited a half hour for iceberg lettuce and cold dry chicken. The server Maria was especially rude. The restaurant was dead and the food took so long. Maria was nice to everyone... but only the Mexicans. Racism is real!

    Mojarra Frita,

    I don't care what anyone say. I love eating here. Almost everything I've tried is delicious.. I have not yet been disappointed..

    Gloria's Cocina Mexican Restaurant has been a family tradition for celebrating birthdays and…read morespecial occasions for many years. We've been coming here since they first opened, and the food has always been delicious. Over the years, we've seen a lot of changes, but the friendly service has remained consistent. One thing I've noticed recently is that the salsa served with the chips isn't the same as it used to be. It seems much more watered down now, which takes away from the flavor we used to enjoy. Another issue is the restroom situation. There is only one restroom stall, and on busy days the wait can be quite long. It can be inconvenient, especially when the restaurant is crowded. Overall, the food is still very good, and this restaurant holds many special memories for my family. I hope they consider improving the salsa and restroom accommodations to make the dining experience even better.

The idea was to enjoy my coffee while getting organized--paying bills, planning calendar events, and having the opportunity to focus without any distractions from my usual surroundings. In search of the perfect spot, I turned to Yelp, a reliable resource for uncovering hidden gems nearby. Upon stepping into the coffee shop, I was immediately greeted with warm hospitality, setting the tone for a delightful experience. The ambiance of the place was truly captivating--it was bright and welcoming, infused with an aesthetic charm that instantly put me at ease. I couldn't help but be intrigued by the design elements throughout the shop, which added an inviting touch to its overall atmosphere. Before I settled in, I asked the staff if I could snap a few photos to capture the essence of this delightful space. They graciously welcomed my request, and I was shown to my table, which, quite uniquely, was designated by a number--a small detail that I found charming. As I browsed the menu, I encountered a small conundrum: I wasn't entirely sure what to order. I wanted to break the mold and try something out of the ordinary. My curiosity was piqued by their exclusive offering of Café de la Olla--a traditional hot drink that piqued my interest right away. I ultimately settled on a hearty plate that included rice, beans, and enticing potato tostones, accompanied by two beautifully cooked sunny-side-up eggs. As I waited for my order, I noticed the café was filled with the sweet sounds of old-school music from the '60s and '70s, which only enhanced the cozy ambiance while I sipped my drink. Now, let's talk about the food! I must say, I rated the café itself a solid 4 out of 5 for its overall charm, while the rice earned a respectable 4 out of 5. The beans were rich in flavor and received a fair 3.9 out of 5. The potato tostones, delicately bathed in a savory red sauce, stood out with an impressive score of 4.3 out of 5--these are a must-try if you visit! And as for the sunny-side-up eggs, they were good, but hey, eggs are eggs, right? Overall, the entire experience was quite enjoyable, from the delightful food to the warm atmosphere. A special shout-out goes to Ana, whose exceptional customer service made my visit even more memorable. The combination of fantastic service, inviting aesthetics, and satisfying food truly made for a perfect morning retreat. I can't recommend this spot enough for anyone looking for a relaxing place to unwind and focus on what matters.

The garlic fries were really good, and the nachos were nice and saucy. The rice that came with the dinner plate, however, was overcooked and mushy. Overall, a decent experience with a few standout items.

If they open a location in South OC, I will go at least once a week if not more.
