My only complaint is that there are not 10 stars for me to highlight! What a wonderful establishment. MUY BIEN INDEED. This is hands down the best mexican, nay, the best restaurant in the Statesboro area.

This used to be one of my favorite restaurants, but it has really gone downhill. The service is great some days, but horrible other days. The quality of the food has also decreased significantly. The food often comes out cold and old. I hope that this restaurant improves and hopefully it can relive its former glory.

It's really good but they close a little too early for me. I stay up studying late and don't have enough time to make it there before they close.

Make sure you go to the one behind the Exxon gas station. Very good and Cheap if you get the Fajita Nachos. The food is pretty authentic from what I can tell I mean I have never eaten food cooked by someone's grandmother who grew up in Mexico so how could I really know how authentic Mexican really tastes. A few words of caution however is that this place at peak dining hours is very busy so their will likely be a wait and when they are busy they will try and get you out like super quick. This has its perks in that you get your drinks and food very quickly but if you like to sit talk and enjoy your meal you may feel rushed. They will certainly let you stay for a while if you want but with people waiting on your table though and a kitchen staff that is somehow able to put a plate of food together so fast you won't understand how. It really would be kinda rude to stay much longer than is needed. The staff has always been very nice and attentive for the most part other than maybe a few over the years I have enjoyed the food at this wonderful resturant. I must confess though that it has been over a year since I have been here. Just don't really have a reason to anymore and we cook at home now normally. The food was always great though, with some days better than others, and I went pretty often for over four years. I very much doubt they have changed their food now. Oh and as for the other Elsoms they are not as good there ok but if you care about the way the food tastes. You have to choose this one even with a long wait. It is definitely worth it. Oh and I read that the food got worse when they expanded. I must say that I went a few times right after that was done and still enjoyed the food. It is possible I just got lucky when I went though I guess. Either way I very much hope the food did not change it was so good, and that would be sad to see a place that at least was the place to sit and eat if there was one turn into something less. I think it should still be a place everyone should give it a try though because there is no way it changed that much. Even if it was half of what it used to be it would be worth a try if you enjoy Mexican any. The only thing I think they could possibly have done is take some of the spicy out because of how much people complained. That said though people in America will always complain about something spicy so that should be ignored for the most part. Especially since I am sure that nearly all authentic Mexican is spicy. I don't know if fully spicy would be adviced, But for me I knew when the food was gonna taste good by how spicy the salsa was that day. If it tasted mostly like sage or tomatoes then oh well still good. If it were spicy though and I mean southeastern US spicy. Then you were in for a treat. So if your just messing around in statesboro and get kinda hungry then a good test would be go in let them direct you to a seat tell them you'll order a drink shortly and taste the salsa see if it has a little kick or is dominated by sage and tomatoes completely. If it has a little kick then all should be good, and order your drink. If not then excuse yourself and leave a couple dollars cuz they would technically have to throw all the chips and salsa away. They will probably tell you to just keep the money, but they could demand like three dollars if I remember how much the menu said it was if all you wanted was chips and salsa. It would certainly not have anyone like they used to have still there though because they were a rational and kind group. I also realy liked the sweet tea personaly, and I pretty much have to say that because of how manny times the waiters and waitresses had to come by the table and fill my glass. If the food quality has declined there please tell them when your leaving that they should try and make the food spicier people around here will complain about the spicy period because there not used to it. If you liked to much spicy however people would notice it not tasting nearly as good without knowing why. 1/4 to Half truly authentic Mexican spicy would best.

Before they added on to this location the food was the best you could get in town. Now the food is not anywhere as good as it has been in the past. I used to eat here two times a week if not more. It'll take a miracle to get me back.

I love the quiet atmosphere! Friendly service. Wonderful food. And the consistency at every visit. I've never had a complaint with El Sombrero.
