El Sombrero

Don't let the unassuming exterior and dated interior keep you away. This place is solid!So the parking lot could use work. But there's plenty of space in the dedicated lot. And the front door looks like a side entrance.Inside it's classic, old school Mexican restaurant. I sat in a booth and it was comfortable. Staff all gringo so no language barrier.Chips and salsa brought promptly with an ample bottle of salsa. Both items good.I had shredded chicken burritos. Quite good and well stuffed with chicken.Ranchero beans substituted for refried and these were a highlight. Full of ham, jalapenos and chunks of tomatoes. Really good!Choco taco for dessert. Nice, light and crispy dessert taco shell full of chocolate pudding. Pudding not as rich and chocolatey as I hoped but overall the dish was a solid B.If you're hungry in Saginaw TX this place is definitely recommended.

In this age of endless corporate restaurants, only a few truly local and independent restaurants remain. El Sombrero is a treasured is institution in the Saginaw area and rightly so. The food is excellent, it isn't churched up like modern choices that need a story and list an arm long of ingredients and their origin stories. The food is simple Tex-Mex that we all loved and still do. The queso changed my religion, and now I submit myself to the great old ones. If you like food, miss local mom and pops, then eat here and stop reading reviews.

Im sorry, this place is awful.The margaritas taste like that mix you get in a bucket.All our food was... edible. And that's about it.Apparently the bathrooms were absolutely disgusting (bad sign, don't want to see the kitchen).Shame because the service was actually good. Everyone was friendly and quick.

Love this place. Nice little Mexican restaurant on 287 in Saginaw. Staff is always great and attentive along with great margaritas.

Great food and great staff, they make you feel like they've always known you. I'm definitely going back again.

Do not come here if you like authentic Mexican food. Food was very bland, no seasoning. Very overpriced for what it is. Although I will say the food portions are generous and I did enjoy the beans and rice.

The food was beyond bland. Genuinely some of the driest tasteless chicken I've ever had. The chips and salsa were clearly store-bought and not very good at that best thing I can say about the place is that the food is *technically* edible.

what a find in saginaw!! since moving in we have struggled with finding places, but this one hit all of our marks! great margaritas, fantastic food, perfect service and we will be heading back again and again! can't wait to try the soups when it gets cold.

Order the fajitas for one. It's 2 meals for one. Great veggies and the meat is flavored well enjoy.

It's ok .... Better options in Fort Worth The tortillas are NOT home made They are super nice and great customer service but food is just ok. Not awful. Just average
