Absolutely recommend 100%. The food was amazing. Came out super fast but fresh. We ordered 3 tamahawk steaks, a molcajete and a my mom ordered a chicken dish. All 8 of us and the 2 kids loved everything. The service was top notch as well!! We will definitely return.

Second visit, both on Sunday before the church crowd. Had the chimichanga this time, which was loaded with flavorful, slow-cooked beef and accompanied by great rice (with potato!) and the best refried beans I've had in Springfield.

Portion sizes are large, and prices are comparatively low, making this also a great dining value. With 20% tip, the bill for 2 was $36.

First visit, I had the El Sombrero burrito, which was stuffed with good skirt steak, cut properly.

Atmosphere is casual and the typical "we're in a strip mall so there's not much we can do about that," but the staff is friendly and efficient.

My dining partner's chile rellenos were good, although the chiles themselves were tough on the second visit.

Gratis chips that were warm when they arrived were served with good salsa. If it wasn't homemade, you could have fooled me.

All in all, this is the best Tex-Mex style Mexican food I've found in Springfield. I lived in Texas most of my life, so I'm pretty critical, and El Sombrero is doing it right!

Food was disappointing, tortilla chips tasted store bought and not freah. the Al Pastor tacos were very dry and not much flavor. Tacos drowning in onion and half chopped cilantro.
Chipotle Pollo was kind of a mess, you REALLY taste the chipotle and weirdly mayo in the sauce. Very wet, drowning in whatever that was.
The rice had potatoes and green beans in it as well, which I have never seen before and now I know why. Not good, just doesn't belong in Mexican rice.
The only real attraction at this place seems to be the massive amounts of alcohol and the giant tomahawk steak you can get for like $100.

The food was fantastic and hot. Very well priced. But our waitress was so rude and giving us ugly looks when we asked a question. This was our first time here and we told her that. She seemed super annoyed when we asked her anything. Even threw the chips on the table after I asked her a question and never refilled our drinks. Attitude is everything to me seeing as how I work in retail. For this reason we won't be returning sadly.

Their food is great however depending on the server depends on how much the food costs. Last week it was 15.92 this week the same lunch meal was $25. She did not get a tip.

My girlfriend and I go every Thursday fir $1.50 Margaritas. We also order the Steak Fajitas Nachos to split. Delicious! Steak is so tender and flavorful. We have also been there for our birthdays and ordered sizzling Fajitas Platters. Everything is Delicious. I'm from Southern California, so I know good authentic Mexican food 😋! The owner/manager always stops to say HI and all the wait staff are very sweet. Highly recommend 👌 👍
