El Sombrero

We are from Los Angeles and just happened upon this small restaurant because we got off the wrong light rail stop. I ordered the carne burrito and my son had the chicken quesadilla. We found both items satisfying.Most of all, however, we were impressed with the friendliness of the staff and especially with the owner (or manager) of the restaurant. We were in a semi rural area and both of our phones had no power. Our hotel shuttle driver from Windam by Wyndham abandoned us. (One told us to get off the wrong stop and refused to fetch us, and another shouted at my son and drove off as we waited for our food--which we thought was the least we could do considering the owner loaned us his telephone. Also, we were famished.) It was nearly closing time and we asked if he could drive us to our hotel. It was only six minutes away by car but would have taken us much longer on foot. A worker drove us and politely bade us farewell. Kindness prevailed in Baltimore, a city we have mixed feelings about.

Water quality?Showed up around 7:00 pm on a Tuesday and no one was there - zero customers.After sitting down, a woman took our drink order. Two of us asked for water. Before she left the table she said the water was canned (bottled?). We just wanted tap water but were told no. We asked why we couldn't have tap water and she went to the kitchen. After a few min. a man came out of the kitchen as another man entered the restaurant. The two men had a brief conversation and then the man from the kitchen began taking our order as if the previous interaction hadn't happened. The man's English seemed fine, but when we asked him if something was wrong with the water , his fluency nearly disappeared! He seemed to say the water wasn't good to drink, which prompted us to ask what water was used for washing and cooking (rice was a side with nearly every dish). The man didn't want to explain, so we left scratching our heads, but suspicious about the place.Just as an FYI: The next place we stopped was only a few minutes away. That place was busy with customers and served water without any difficulties.

Strip mall location so not a lot of ambiance. But the cook works hard to prepare a solid variety of options. Prices were a little high for the quality of food. But it's solid.

Fantastic food. We had just gotten off a plane from Fort Lauderdale and were starving for Mexican - this place was close and had good reviews. Service was quick and friendly, our food was out within 10 minutes. Perfect little location, good parking, can't wait to try it again.

Yikes pricey and the quality wasn't there.1 Nachos Supreme (not your typical nachos, looked like they ran out of ingredients) they sprinkled tomatoes and onions.... No guacamole or Pico de gallo.6 Tongue tacos (I do not recommend the flavor was off-- I hate to think the meat was bad)2 Asada tacos (Meh... I've had better)1 orchata (way too sweet ) didn't let my teen drink it, also diluted it with water and still abundantly sweet. 2 waters Total 65.00I wouldn't care about the price tag if the food was good or fresh.Staff was friendly, environment was small but cute. I'm a SoCal girl and this is definitely not comparable.

I have returned after many visits over the years. I simply can't avoid it when traveling in/out of BWI.... Muy authentico! So tasty!Located in a strip mall with a small, (six table), dining room, the place has changed it's way of providing full service. You go mid-way back along the wall and place you order through a plexiglass panel. They will then deliver the food to your table along with plastic ware. Will we EVER be free from these Covid measures that keep me scratching my noggin'?!

I HATE myself for waiting 3 years to try this place. I live right up the road and whenever I was in the mood for authentic Mexican food, I went elsewhere, bigger chain places in Glen Burnie. BIG MISTAKE. I've been too intimidated by everything written in Spanish outside their doors to try and make the effort to place an order here and I did one night through Grubhub since it was easier to navigate. Everything was DELICIOUS. I ate so slowly to savor this meal longer. I loved it to much, I placed another order for dinner the next week. AND I NEVER EAT OUT. I try to avoid take out as much as possible to save money, but I didn't care. My second visit, I went inside to place my order using a trifold menu at the counter and I just waited at one of the tables. I will come back here again and again!

Food was sub par at best. I enjoyed the horchata and tres leches but the carne asada torta was bland and the queso had a weird after taste. The fact that the food cost me almost $70 because they have no prices listed anywhere is also upsetting. I feel they overcharged for mediocre food. Probably won't be back

Great, great, great place for tacos and tortas!!!When it comes to a Mexican food, I get very picky and demanding.We ordered to go, had tacos, tortas and a slice of tres leches cake.The tacos were king, did not disappoint. It came with the works (chopped onion and cilantro with a side of radish, cucumber, lime and green onion), just the way we eat it at least in Mexico city The sopes comes in a order of 3, choose your poison of meat , even though stull needs some improvements, it was a good dish and great size seving.The torta... well another amazing delicuos surprise. We got al pastor (pork marinated meat). The bread was perfect and so was everything they add to it. If you really would like to know how it's done, this is the place to try an authentic Mexican torta.Only downfall was... the tres leches, I was open to the idea to be surprised but they let me down with it. I was expecting a real delicious slice and it was only a piece of cake soaked in a mix of milk and condensed milk. Not the best pice I have tried, but will definitely come back to get some more tacos and tortas.

Mexican family approved!! Found this place while trying to pick where to eat. It was very tasty, great portions, and delicious aguas frescas.
