"Not much has changed about Mi Sombrero since it opened in 1978, and we’re kind of into that. The rough-around-the-edges interior is part of the charm, as are the rock-bottom prices. You’ll find all the classic Tex-Mex standards here: actually spicy salsa, multiple dishes covered in hot queso, employees who know every regular diner’s order by heart, and an endlessly convertible dining room in case you roll up with more than 10 people. Go to Mi Sombrero if you’re looking for classic, quick and dirty, Houston Tex-Mex, especially if you live around the Garden Oaks area." - gianni greene, chelsea thomas
