Sometimes a place makes you feel welcomed and comfortable as soon as you walk in. This is one of those places. The server and the owner are both friendly and genuinely hoping you have a great experience. The Asada plate was pretty good. The crunchy taco wasn't as crunchy as it should've been. The gobernador's shrimp was a bit too mushy for my taste. Overall, the food was good and I'll will be back if I'm in the area.

The greens were crisp and fresh, the red onions had just the right crunch, and the dressing with its hint of lemon tied everything together beautifully. The salmon itself was cooked to absolute perfection--golden and slightly crisp on the outside, tender and flavorful on the inside. This is the kind of meal that shows real care and skill in the kitchen. The restaurant has a warm, family-friendly atmosphere, and every dish feels authentically made with love. I'll definitely be back, and I highly recommend this place to anyone who appreciates great food and quality dining. Bravo to the chef and the team! Ps Thank to a great team of severs Nancy and Lucy

The parking lot is pretty small but we were able to get a spot. The workers are all very friendly and the food came out pretty quickly. I got the combo with the two fish tacos and the plate was very filling. The tacos were super flavorful and went amazing with all the toppings they had. I also tried the shrimp taco which I'm not normally a big fan of shrimp but it was cooked well and I enjoyed it too. This place is great for a quick filling lunch!

I ordered the ceviche tostada, which they told me they were out of, so I opted for the breaded shrimp. It was ok. They definitely give you a lot of shrimp. The fries were so so. I really like the green sauce that came with it. No Diet Coke, only Coke Zero and in cans. The service was impeccable. They checked on us consistently, and were very apologetic that they ran out of ceviche. Mid-size parking lot, which is nice. Will I be back? Probably not. My friend picked this spot for our weekly Saturday dining adventure. Was it good? Yes, but not ohmygod drool worthy. If I lived local it would be more on my radar.

Raúl's Casa Sombrero has been a South Bay hub for many years for those that are wanting a feeling…read moreof homemade Mexican dishes and company. First, just like most casual Mexican restaurants you are greeted with house made salsa and chips to snack on while you study the menus for your meal. The salsa is very fresh and the chips are not, thank goodness, over salted. It's a perfect starter! I enjoyed the meal option of four chicken flautas with rice, beans, and perfectly portioned guacamole and sour cream. You are able to make your own choice of meat stuffing, which I love, knowing that the flautas are freshly made. I chose to have chicken and found it to be perfectly fried, not overly seasoned, which some places do. I like that you can actually taste the chicken and not just spice. I also had the horchata to drink, and I loved it! The service is wonderful, with many families flocking to the restaurant for that homemade feel for dinner. The staff has always been kind enough to offer a refill of your drink/soda to go if you wish. Kindness from the staff is a real highlight of Raul's. The ambiance of being at home is a plus for me. There are a few handicap parking spots available in the small adjoined parking lot, with easy wheelchair access through the front door. There is also plenty of parking spots located on the street and in the available parking lot located in the middle of Hawthorne Blvd. There is a television with captions on for those that are HOH, hard of hearing. Being a hearing aide user, I sincerely appreciated this. I consider this a hidden gem in Hawthorne.

There was enough lettuce to start a small salad bar, but somehow almost no cheese. Last time I checked, cheese was kind of the star of the show. The carne asada was fine, but when you're digging through a mountain of lettuce looking for the cheese, something has gone terribly wrong. Calling this a quesadilla felt a little optimistic. Unfortunately, it sucked.
