El Sombrero

Came here to get 2 quesadillas with beef and 4 flautas with chicken. When came to grab my food roaches were on the counter top almost inside my plate… the quesadillas had hair inside that was long. When came to show them they didn’t seem to care and took the plate and started taking other customers order. Will never come back to this place again. I understand roaches come and go but having them by your food is very disturbing. We didn’t even eat the food what a waste of money. Def lost a client for sure. Do not recommend unless you want your protein to be roaches and hair.

Ahhh yummy I miss going to this place food is DELICIOUS.

El Sombrero is one of those places where you will be coming back once you experience the feeling of having real Mexican food. Located inside the Super Mall in the neighborhood of West Elsdon, a block away from the CTA Orange Line station. As soon you step inside this iconic landmark of Chicago the Super Mall, you will be instantly welcomed by the pleasant smell of delicious food. Follow your most important sense of the human body, the sense of smell and you wont miss it... Or Just go to the left as soonest you walk inside the Super Mall. Upon arrival, you will be greeted by the most friendly staff with a smile. Place your order and go find a seat. The menu is colorful with lots to choose from but once again this being my first time here I ordered the top meal, two Asada tacos with everything and one medium horchata. The price was good, for what i got. And what i got was a show of its own, i was able to sit at the bar right in front of the main stage That is the kitchen and i was able to see how they made the food right in front of my own eyes. Se me hacia agua la boca watching how they were making a masterpiece of a taco. Once i got them. it was over right there. Perfection in front of you. The combination with the home salsa and the sweet Horchata brought everything together. I'm Definitely Coming Back and Excited about it.

This is the best place to get Mexican food... I'm from Mexico city and everything tastes like home. Marlen and the team are always happy and helpful. So good, so tasty and quick.

Overpriced and flavorless. They add too much water on everything takes the flavor out of the food. Do not recommend quality has gone down.

The best authentic Mexican food and great service every time😋

I love the food here! Everything is amazing authentic Mexican food!

Good food ,reasonable prices. I got the Quesadilla de Asada and it was good.thank you

The chilliquilles rojo was delicious! I enjoyed the rice, beans and the horchata. It's in the back. You have to enter the store make a right.

I was door dashing and came in to use the restroom before picking up an order here and they denied me from using the restroom. I am disabled and I have conditions that require the use of a restroom due to my urgent conditions. I was told I had to be picking up an order (which I was) or be a paying customer in order to use the restroom. I feel this practice is very discriminatory towards disabled people and I will be going through the proper channels to get this taken care of. If they're going to have a third party contract with delivery drivers then they need to allow them to use their restroom since they are working for them technically, since they allow their own employees to use them restroom I assume. I will be making a complaint with Door Dash as well.

Rundown: Chilango-style snack stall inside the so-called, "Super Mall," a massive Mexican swap meet, the likes of which will not be foreign to those who've spent time in Mexico or on Van Nuys Boulevard. Went for the pambazo (not as easy to find in Chicago as one might think) and between overhearing orders and observing what other diners were eating, seems a lot of people came out for the same reason. Sandwich didn't disappoint. Was a little skeptical, as the sauce was applied to the bread immediately before hitting the grill (typically the bread is pre-soaked), but it came off it tasting like a mildly spicy English fry bread, the mark of a well-executed pambazo. In addition, got myself a quesadilla (with mushrooms) and a gordita (with chicharron in green salsa). El Sombrero boasts of their handmade tortillas, and yeah, the quesadilla really benefitted from one. On the other hand, the gordita, the shell of which I don't believe is made in-house (though I stand to be corrected) was nothing special. Strange as this sounds, in both texture and flavor, the chicharron filling had me feeling as if I were eating something Cantonese which, uh, would be fine if I were in a Cantonese restaurant. Anyway, as I'm learning, Pilsen and Little Village get the press coverage, but for the truly deep Mexican cuts, you head to Archer Heights or Gage Park. El Sombrero should be on your itinerary if you're considering touring the area.

Dont let this place fool you just because it is in the Supermall. Its been a while since Ive been here but they never disappoint. You definately get great food and service for your money.

This is a hidden gem in Chicago. If you find yourself passing through Chicago and are in the mood for authentic delicious Mexican food. This is a great spot! When I eat here it's usually for breakfast and I really love the chilakiles with rice and beans. The portions are abundant and the flavors are on point. The best advice I can give when looking for a delicious place. Is go where the locals go and look for the old ladys cooking in the kitchen. Check and check! I love the place and the service is hunble and inviting.

Don Julio is my guy! Good character and customer service but most importantly delicious Mexican food. The pambazo with potatoes and chorizo is my go to.

Found inside super mall. Quesadillas are huge and cost $3.99. They have squash (flor de calabaza), mushrooms and huitlacoche.

An authentically delicious, hole in the wall Mexican restaurant. Super excited for their Burbank, IL location!

There food was disgusting with 0 flavor. My steak burrito was EXTREMELY chewy. I ended up throwing it away. Chicken flautas had 0 taste. Will not be returning.
