El Sombrero Mexican Restaurant

I don't understand why this place has such high ratings. Nothing was good. The chips were greasy, broken, and you get charged after the first tiny basket. The salsa was not good...either one. Mild is too sweet and hot just taste like tomato soup. I ordered chicken flautas. I couldn't even eat it they were so dry. It was tortilla fried like the chips filled with a hard lump of dry chicken. The sauce and sour cream didn't make it edible. My partner got the pork burritos. Not allowed to get different meat choices for each burrito without a crazy upcharge so he got all pork. They were pretty bland and the pork was dry but had enough sauce to be edible. The kids were not happy with their food either (hotdog and kids enchilada). To top it all off we paid $50 for two adult and two kid meals that basically no one liked at all. I am so disappointed with this experience.

This place seems to have a loyal cult following. Many of the folks sitting in there seem to be friends and family. In fact, one person visiting said he's brought his kid there since she was two. And they live in Smithville which isn't close by. The chorizo was very tasty. The refried beans are chunky in a good way. We will have to come here again and try their tacos

My wife and I tried the steak fajitas. They were good, and had good seasoning. My only negative is that the portion to me doesn't match the price. I will go back and try other menu items and repost then. All of the food I viewed going to the other tables looked and smelled really good. Very authentic .

Great authentic Mexican restaurant in Claycomo!! I went for Taco Tuesday when their tacos are only $1.25 each. Their tacos are prepared "pinned" and are awesome!! The salsa and chips came out still warm!! They have an extensive menu but I always seem to stick with the pinned tacos. The Mexican chili is also excellent!! They are also open for breakfast. I highly recommend the bacon and chorizo breakfast burrito with white queso on top!!! Delicious!! The restaurant has been run by the same family for 55 years!!
