★ 5★ 4★ 3★ 2★ 1We had a party of 6 and each person ordered something different. Every dish included fresh ingredients, and each entree had amazing depths of flavor and seasoning. One person in our party has multiple food allergies. The waitstaff happily answered questions about ingredients and accommodations. Each staff member was exceptional, extremely attentive, and friendly. Our entire party agreed that this is one of, if not the best meals we had this trip. We can't wait to visit again in the future. Thanks Sombrero for the memorable experience!
April 12 · Stephanie BankertMy son and I came here for Sunday lunch before seeing an off-Broadway matinee. we shared the nachos and the big burrito and both were delicious and plenty of food for the two of us, almost too much. Server was very attentive. Prices were high (even for this New Yorker), but that’s to be expected in the theater district.
July 28 · Lisa TaylorWhat a hidden gem of a restaurant! Being from Texas, home of Tex-Mex, we were thrilled to discover Sombrero! We had chips and salsa which were fantastic but the sizzling steak fajitas stole the show! The steak was tender, juicy and the flavor was superb! The accompanying vegetables were perfectly cooked and so delicious! We topped our meal off with Tres Leches which was remarkably good! We were greeted with a big smile and assured we would be pleased with our meal. That was an understatement! If you’re looking for a great meal with excellent service in the Time Square area, you cannot go wrong with Sombrero!!
August 23 · Culver WilsonWe stayed next door at the Civilian and enjoyed happy hour margaritas and either snacks or dinner almost every night we were in New York. The fajitas are excellent and so are the drinks and service! Definitely check this place out! ❤️
July 17 · Sara MerayI had what was is listed on the menu as sizzling fajitas. They come with your choice protein, I chose steak ($31). The steak was tender and tasty, I was very pleased. At a few other restaurants, I have tried this dish and found that they pre-cook the steak. At Sombrero, based on the taste and tenderness of the steak, I would say that the pieces of steak included were cooked after I placed the order. The restaurant is on 48th Street, off the corner of 8th Avenue.
