Saw the wonderful reviews and decided I needed to check it out for myself. Starting off with the chips and salsa I was addicted. I am super picky with chips and salsa. I hardly ever eat them, but I almost polished off a whole basket by myself. I ordered the three taco plate with carne guisada and it was good. My husband ordered the fajitas for 1, they were lacking flavor, no seasoning or marinade at all. I have to say the waitresses were very attentive. read more

I'd definitely categorize this place as more of a Tex-Mex restaurant than an authentic Mexican spot, though I've seen some reviews that say otherwise. When we stopped by on a Friday night it was busy but we were told to seat ourselves. Almost immediately, a server brought over chips and salsa (loved that). The chips were warm and the salsa was really good! My boyfriend and I both ordered Tommy's Taco Dinner-one with chicken and one with beef. The plate includes three fajita tacos with sauteed onions, jalapeños and chile con queso, along with a side of rice and beans. The beef was definitely better than the chicken, though they were both just ok. The chile con queso had great flavor, but I found the chicken a little bit dry. The rice lacked flavor in my opinion but my boyfriend thought it was fine. The beans were nothing special but they were good. Service was where things really fell short. Throughout the meal, we needed refills, hot sauce, and extra napkins, but getting our waitress or anyone else to come back to our table was a struggle. When it came time to pay, we had to go up to the counter just to get her attention which was frustrating. Because of that, I'm taking off a star. Overall, this wasn't my favorite place. After months of driving by, I'm glad I finally tried it and it's clearly a popular spot. The food was decent, but not good enough to make me want to return. read more

I really enjoy this place. Very fast service and affordable. Instead of going to Taco Bell go to Mi Sombrero. They server breakfast, lunch, and dinner. What ever entree you get you will not be disappointed. read more

Another spot I will be coming back too. Popped in this little gem after the gym on a saturday morning because it's down the street. Walked in and was told to take a seat because the place was hoppin. The service is fast and efficient and let's not forget friendly and engaging. It seems to be a place where the locals and the familiar come. No frills, clean And lovely atmosphere. Our waitresses were very endearing and we felt the warmth from everyone who worked here. Chips served with delicious warm homemade salsa to start. The beef fajita Tommy Tacos are so good and I did not expect them to be so delicious. The beef tostado dinner was so feeling. Of course I went home with a to-go plate and was happy to have more at home later. Another solid go to spot when I am leaving the gym and I want some good ole Tex-Mex. The ladies here are the best and the warmth that they serve here is what more restaurants need. read more

I've been coming here for quite a long time...very good blend of Tex-Mex and original Mexican food....the restaurant is always super clean....service has always been on point....and the food always comes out fresh and hot...I would highly recommend....!!!!! read more

Service was fast and people were nice. Unfortunately good had zero flavor or seasonings. Everything tasted like everything else.

Have only been for breakfast and it never disappoints. Food is good, service is really good and prices are good.

Last year, they closed for a few months for renovations, which can seen by the new ceiling tiles. Otherwise, everything else looks pretty much the same. I recently thought about how a coworker mentioned a long time ago how Mexican restaurants make really good fries, so I decided to try them out at a restaurant nearby. The Hamburgesa estilo San Isidro comes with homemade fries (thick cut, hot and tender due to the oil). I would have liked some of the fries to be crunchy. It takes a little bit longer to cook than a taco plate, but it arrives 10-15 minutes later. I've seen hamburgers with avocado and melted cheese but not one I remember with refried beans, so I was intrigued. The burger was thick and tasted classic-style with the beefsteak tomatoes even with all the different toppings. The Tommy's taco can be made with beef, pork or chicken, but beef is classic. The meat and flour tortilla were hot, and the chile con queso was warm. As usual, the complimentary chips and salsa were warm. They still get about 80% of the restaurant full during lunch time, so you won't need to wait for a table to empty. read more

We order breakfast tacos at work at least once a week. Enjoyed by everyone. I recommend the Tommy tacos.

Wow, what a hidden gem! I was brought to Mi Sombrero by friends and can't thank them enough. There is a shared parking lot in front of the shopping center and a good number of spots. The restaurant isn't large, but was pretty full, including a large party. The food was some of the best Tex Mex I've had in a while. I ordered a Miller Lite and it was served with a chilled mug; this was the coldest beer I have had in a very long time. For food, I had the Tuity Fruity (1 chicken enchilada, 1 ground beef, and 1 cheese with rice and beans); it was SO good! The chicken enchilada had dark meat which was a really nice and tasty distinction from other Tex Mex restaurants. The entire plate was delicious and service was good (a little slow, but only due to the large party being served). You pay at the counter. I can't wait to go back! read more

I'm 4th generation texican. This is my fave neighborhood restaurant for authentic homemade food like my mom used to cook. Good breakfast lunch or dinner. Service is always fast and friendly. It's the type of place the waitress knows your name. and food is always fresh - never cold. The salsa is the best! A little hole in the wall if you blink you miss it. They were closed for a while for renovation but they've been around forever so it was time. We couldn't wait for them to open up. read more

ive been going to this place since i was a young girl than when i had kids i took them too and now we take the granbaby 4 generations later and the food is still awesome and on point along with the service ,nice all the time read more

I have been here before but it's been a minute. I called to place and order to go and all my requests were taken. I was told my order would be ready in about fifteen minutes. When I arrived, I was greet as so as the door was opened. My food was packed and ready for transport. They neatly stacked everything in a box and everything stayed in place during the drive. One of my dining companions was jonesing for enchiladas and they told me everything was very good and they appreciated that the sauce was not spicy. My other dining companion ordered Tommy's Tacos and also enjoyed their meal. I had carne guisada tacos... nice gravy and tender meat. I also enjoyed the chips and salsa... warning it's got a little kick. In the hood... check it out read more

The staff were absolutely amazing. They were outgoing, friendly, attentive, and had a great sense of humor. The portions are huge. Prices are reasonable. They offer delicious Tex-Mex. read more

I am fat, this is why. Having been warned of the portion size here, I still had to see for my self. While I have conquered my orders each and every time, it prob isnt a good thing. No clue what is in the plate, it's fatty, happiness inducing, silencing of ur chatty friends. Why do I come back, no idea how to answer that. It's so bad for you, that my friends dream of this place. Not I, just them. read more

Great food! Service is great...we walk in and they know what we drink from just the second time going. Do not worry about the ceiling tiles, it has nothing to do with the owner. The space is rented and the property owner just temps the roof. So, when it rains they have leaks, but never on you or other tables. read more

Real Latinos who know what Mexican food should taste like eat here! We have been going for years for breakfast, lunch, dinner, birthday events and takeout. The waitstaff knows us and they recognize my voice on the phone. They are quick to make sure our needs are met. The beer comes with an ice cold mug and they have Mexican Cokes. They speak fluent English and Spanish. No language barrier. They have upgraded all the booths and tablecloths. The decor is like an old Mexican diner. My husband rates restaurants by the refried beans and these are #1!! Can't go wrong eating here. read more

Yummy cheap food! lady's plate (taco, enchilada, bean tostada) - less than $8 - it was still very filling so I shared with my boyfriend. got a chicken enchilada, a soft flour beef taco, and a bean tostada which was bigger than I expected. My boyfriend got Tommy's taco a la carte for $4.50 and a 2 enchilada plate with rice and beans for less than $10. He preferred the chicken enchilada over his beef enchilada. Tommy's Taco was really good also. Jamaica drink (hibiscus) was really good too, not too sweet, very refreshing, and a very large cup. Good complimentary chips and salsa. The salsa is a little spicy read more

I've been so disappointed since Mi Sombrero suddenly closed. My wife & I had been enjoying this restaurant for years & we were never disappointed! Never had a negative experience. We've been anxiously awaiting their reopening. Checking their website, I was shocked to see the "temporarily closed" notification changed to "Permanently Closed". I only hope the new reopening notice in this review section is true. Houston needs Mi Sombrero! My wife & I need Mi Sombrero! PLEASE!! read more

Great place for some great food and amazing service. Best salsa I've ever had and the Tommy tacos are always delicious. I've been eating here for close to 25+ years and it never disappoints. read more

What an absolute failure. The food was fair but the place is old and tired. It should have been a sign that exterior sign is barely legible due to neglect. What is with the forced - buy 2 or 3 breakfast tacos and not just one and they all had to be the same, not 2 or 3 different tacos. The people bordered on hostile if you asked for a simple substitution. The same goes for asking for a Sample of a sauce. Forget it. I'm not your ideal customer but your Sombrero must be too tight because you are no ones ideal mexican restaurant. read more

I meet someone for lunch, order an enchilada plate , which u can choose chicken or beef, so I opted for beef, specifying beef fajita. At the end of my dining experience, the waitstaff brought the receipt. To my surprise, I was charged an additional $1.99 for each enchilada, simply because i asked for beef fajita, yet all the waitstaff would say "oh I'm so sorry", yet proceeded to ring up my bill for payment. The courteous thing to do would have been..... When taking my order. Customer: For my enchiladas, i want beef fajita. Waitstaff: That'll be an add'l $1.99 per enchilada, is that okay? Customer: (given the opportunity to accept or decline the upcharge) --------- And the ground beef in the hard shell taco was not good at all, yet I didn't complain, considering I was taken aback by the $3.98 extra on my bill. read more

Really impressed with the food here. The fajitas were really good and the queso with the beef in it was amazing. Portions were more than adequate. We had plenty to go for another meal. Service was very good and the entire staff was very friendly. The inside looks a little dated but the good more than made up for it. Definitely will come back. read more
