El Sombrero Patio Cafe

We were brought here by our Las Cruces friends before our Las Cruces guided tour. I attempted to compare apples to apples by ordering the same thing I would compare to Mexican restaurants in Southern California. I was swiftly corrected by our server when she told me "this is New Mexican" cuisine. I told her our Mexican is considered "Baja Mexican". The shredded beef tacos were smaller than what I was used to, but they did give me three. They tasted exactly as they do back home. Perhaps I would have appreciated something else with maybe a sauce of some sort. It really was nothing special to us. I guess we were really expecting more. Even the beans and rice tasted neutral. Not our kind of Mexican cuisine. Dicks

It is a very expensive restaurant.I went there To order a side Order of rice and a side order of beans at 3.50 for each one and only got a large spoof of rice and bean I will never go back there again

Such a cozy spot. The service was Amazing! My fish tacos did need some sort of sauce though.

I had a large pick up order and called in ahead of time; they were quick and made everything correctly. Usually restaurants don't get every little detail, but these guys did! Every. Single. Detail.I believe the person who helped me over the phone and in person was Carl. Carl was awesome! He made sure everything was there, and even helped me bring my order to my car. He did all this with a smile.Everything was packaged nice, and it made me less anxious about getting the food back to the office. I really appreciate places like this. The food was also delicious!! Thank you!

The food is good but the owner is horrible. She is mean to her employees and talks badly about her customers. She creates a hostile work environment for her employees and this carries over to customers because when people hate their job it shows.

This is an excellent authentic place ! The food and service was awesome. The seating can be tight but you won't be disappointed by the food. My husband loves the rice which he said it tastes like his mom's. I recommend the crispy beef tacos and the chicken burrito.

Very good service, comfortable dining area and fantastic food. 4 people in my group all love the food. My chicken fajitas were perfect and the chocolate sopapilas with ice cream was out of this world. 5 stars!

Since when is green chile sauce orange? Asked for green chile sauce on the side for my chile rellenos. When the waiter brought it, I told him I didn't want queso. He said no that's our green chile sauce. It comes with a little cheese in it. This sauce tasted like the processed nacho cheese sauce that comes in a can. $15.50 for 2 tasteless relleños and processed cheese sauce? No thank you. BRING BACK THE OLD EL SOMBRERO

Felipe was quick and courteous. Flautas and gorditas, with queso fundido topped with al pastor was on point and delicious. Will I ever return? Si señor!

I understand the need to raise prices however when quality is compromised thats a problem . My visit last night,chips stale,chile rellenos not cooked had to cut with knife,cheese on top came off like a piece of plastic and rice was dry. Rellenos if smothered an additional cost on top of the 14.95 price. Food was edible and yes I did tell my waiter and he said he would let the kitchen know. I will pass on future visits.
