stantheman Posted October 18, 2019 Report Share Posted October 18, 2019 Was at El Sombrero last night and had the grilled fish and chips. The fish pieces were absolutely disgusting - dry, over-cooked and burnt on the bottom. I left the fish after trying to eat a piece and pointed out to the waiter how bad it was. They did ask me if I wanted anything else, but after the terrible fish I was not inclined to try anything else from the kitchen. Of course they hit me with the full bill for the meal upon leaving, not even the courtesy to offer a reduction. A restaurant to avoid in my opinion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gringohombre Posted October 18, 2019 Report Share Posted October 18, 2019 I have not tried this restaurant yet, but have seen some rave reviews here. WHATS UP WITH THAT? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ComputerGuy Posted October 18, 2019 Report Share Posted October 18, 2019 The most recent review on this board said the staff appeared vacuous about wines and pricing and worried the lack of awareness might extend to the kitchen, as well. Another said prices were too high. Only one review said anything positive. At that time, you didn't even know where the place was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This "most recent review" was from a guy who did not even take a seat in this restaurant...just an extended rave about not having wine to his liking and then stomping off. How can you judge the wait staff, much less the food if you have not eaten there? I tried to find the reviews that i saw that were positive but they do not turn up in the search function here. I know one had to do with a molcajetes dish and at least one more very positive REAL REVIEW. Yes, at one time I did not know where the place was...so what? Now I do and will give it a try sometime soon. Stay tuned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ComputerGuy Posted October 18, 2019 Report Share Posted October 18, 2019 You said, and I quote: " I have not tried this restaurant yet, but have seen some rave reviews here." So you apparently... "mispoke". Because there are none. And you haven't been there yourself, so quit ranting about others who have not. And I point out that "you didn't even know where it was", because your comment wasn't that long ago, but you have forgotten your own posts. Oh, and now you can't even " find the reviews that i saw that were positive". So quitcherbitchin' and just go, fer chrissakes. Then you will feel entitled enough to tell us what you really think.

I am so done wasting my time on you. Do you not call this a "rave review": sue 147 Posted September 28 I was there last night with a friend we both ordered the Chicken Molcajete and I had a margarita . The meal and drink were very good The best molcajete I have had down here. We will go back. Please get out of my life and go back to just posting randomly to get more BUSINESS IMPRESSIONS. Goodbye!!!

Carnivore Posted October 19, 2019 Report Share Posted October 19, 2019 Sadly from some posts all the posters accomplish is clearly identifying who they are but more importantly “what” they are! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
