The first time we went to La Sombra Cantina we thought we were going back to Pineda's. We were…read moresurprised at the change and hoped it was at least as good as Pineda's. We were very pleasantly surprised. It's even better in my opinion. The people are very warm and friendly. The food is really delicious. I love that they bring not only good salsa with their fresh hot chips, but also a tomatillo sauce and a black bean dip. We've now eaten there several times. The taco meat has a nicely charred flavor. The tamales were very good. (I'm picky about my tamales. I've tried their ranchero sauce, chili con carne, and sour cream sauce. None of them disappoint. Their rice isn't dry like it is at many other Tex-Mex places. And their $5.00 all day frozen margaritas are worth it. We usually go for the lunch specials that run until 4:00. They don't have mole on the menu, yet. I'm looking forward to their future specials. In this day and age where it's hard to keep a restaurant open, I really hope this one survives. It's not fancy, but the food and service make it worth it. And I'm a picky person when it comes to spending money on food I don't make myself.

My husband and I love trompo tacos, tacos, Mexican food in general but every Mexican restaurant that we've tried near our home has been just okay or not good. For dinner we decided to dash our food since we had a long day and everything was still super fresh, hot, and delicious. Perks? It's very close to our home! We're very picky about cleanliness in the flavor and when we say cleanliness we mean the ingredients they use and how fresh everything was when you open your meal and that first bite. The first bite was the trompo taco fully dressed with extra green sauce....soooo good and it hit all of the marks. We highly recommend and we're definitely ordering here again! Sauces - 9/10 (green sauce is my fav) Peppers/onions - 9/10 Beans - 9/10 Rice - 8/10 Trompo tacos - 9/10 Asada tacos - 8/10 Asada burritos - 8.5/10

Don't be fooled by appearances. The service was great! The food was served hot and was very flavorful and reminiscent of our travels to Mexico. This isn't your typical Tex-mex. It's definitely more authentic Mexican cuisine. I ordered the chicken green tomatillo enchiladas. The tomatillo sauce was the best I've ever had in my 61 years. It's a 5 star in my book and definitely worth putting this on our regular rotation of restaurants.

The tables are normal height, meaning for somebody in a power wheelchair like myself, it was a tight fit. They didn't speak english but that's fine and I managed. I got a full meal for 10$. 3 tacos (pick any 3 from their quite big menu options), along with a side of rice and beans, and some onions and lime to add to the tacos. I got a potato and scrambled egg taco, a ham and scrambled egg taco, and a chorizo and scrambled egg taco. The potato and the ham ones were good, although the chorizo wasn't my favorite. It was pretty early so I obviously went breakfast with my choices, but they had a variety of options ranging from barbacoa to chicken. Their creamy hot sauce was really good, although the red sauce was too thin for my taste. I'll be back again to try some of the non-breakfast tacos. Pretty good, authentic tacos that won't break the bank.

(which was HUGE btw). While the service was exponentially excellent, the food was...good. The menu was what I would describe as "elevated Mexican" with some other Latin-inspired steakhouse dishes (think filet mignon with some salsa on the side) Everything was good, but nothing really stood out for me.
