El Sombrero Mexican Grill

The first few miles of Highway 51 east bound from Tahlequah have some nice curves. Then the road relaxes and straightens a little. Here and there it evolves back into a few long lazy curves to navigate the topography as highway 62. It is a nice drive to the railroad town of Westville, OK and some unexpected delicious Mexican food at El Sombrero.It is a little building on the west side of 59 just south of Highway 62. They have been in business since 2013. The air-conditioning unit on the north end of the building looks large enough to cool a Walmart. A good indication that El Sombrero will be an oasis when the temperatures break 100 again. It was pleasant in there today! They have a large OkieMex menu and daily specials. My wife went with a taco salad with steak. Excellent grilled steak, superb guacamole, and perfect creamy tasty beans. It was served in a freshly fried, crispy flour tortilla bowl. She rated it as good as she has had anywhere. I think there was some confusion between me and the young lady taking my order. Maybe, maybe not. I will never know for sure; but here is the situation. One of the specials on the chalk board out front was Enchiladas Verdes. That is what I tried to order. What I got did not look like what I am accustomed to getting for Enchiladas Verdes. AND after eating them, I don't care! I got two delicious ground beef enchiladas covered in wonderful sour cream sauce, with those perfect beans and rice. Eat this! OMG it was good! It took quite a while for the food to come to the table after ordering. I know why. There is no doubt that the ground beef and the creamy sauce were not prepared until I ordered. Fresh in taste and equally fresh in appearance. It was worth the wait, worth the drive and worth the money. This is a rare small town find. The restaurant is small, clean and with very friendly service. The salsas are excellent. Always ask for the good salsa picante. Essential to making a perfect meal exceptional.

Usally before we go to the casino will stop here for a snack to carry us over till we get home. They have the best tacos crunchy or street tacos. The beef tacos from here are great with lots of toppings. Plus there salsas here are really good. Great service and friendly people who runs this restaurant. So if your in the area give it a try you'll be glad you did.

Food was fresh and hot! We enjoyed the salsa - very fresh. It's a small building with only 8 tables. One waiter did the ordering, delivering, busing the tables and taking the money! He was very busy. Soft country western music played in the background. Very small, unisex bathroom. If we were in the area, we would come again.

We drive here from Arkansas about once a week, this place has the best food and service around. Ayden is the man!!!!

Auténtica Comida:Some of the best Mexican food I've had in years and it's in little old Westville, Oklahoma. Friendly staff too.We have become regulars!

We came to town to go to Harps. Harps Cashier recommended this restaurant. They were out of the shrimp. The chips were fresh made and the salsa dip was thin but tasty. I got cheese enchiladas and Mom got chicken salad. The decor is eclectic. The building is Orange. The parking is gravel. It would be easy to drive right by, but you would miss out on friendly service and good food. Worth the drive from Stilwell.

Poor service. The food was good. Chips and salsa average. I had enchiladas with rice and beans.

The food is authentic Mexican. Ambience is simple yet appropriate. Small, comfortable atmosphere. Great tasting Mexican food! Friendly service.
