My parents and I stopped by La Sombrita for lunch today. It was our first time visiting this restaurant and we were not disappointed. Overall, this was a highly enjoyable and satisfying experience.
FOOD QUALITY: We ordered a vegetarian breakfast burrito, ground beef burrito, and steak fajita burrito with two sides of refried beans. Beverages included two coffees and a Coke. (Note: There is no soda fountain, so soft drinks must be purchased by the can or bottle.) The tortillas and refried beans were homemade and fresh, and the entire meal itself was simply delicious.
SERVICE: Friendly, conscientious, and attentive. It is a small operation, and at the time of our visit, the cook, greeter, and waitress were all responsible at various times for performing various functions in the restaurant. It took about 10-15 minutes for us to receive our food, but I want to stress that this was simply due to the small number of people manning the restaurant and NOT to poor customer service. During that time, we were repeatedly checked on by the friendly staff, who apologized for the wait. And besides, the quality of the food was well worth the wait!
ATMOSPHERE: The inside of the restaurant is tidy, quaint, and homey. Orders are placed at the front counter after which customers who wish to dine in can find a table in the back room. Seating is limited. There are four small round tables each of which can seat 3-4 customer comfortably. However, the dining area is clean, intimate, and brightly lit with natural light. (Window blinds are available if needed.)
Overall, we had a 5/5 experience at La Sombrita. I invite newcomers to visit this restaurant where you will be warmly welcomed and treated to some of the area's...
Read moreThis is a must stop for me every time I come into granbury. I knew the woman who cooks a lot of the food from when she just had her little shop in the gas station by the park. So happy to see they have their own place now! The parking lot is so-so and the restaurant itself isn't as fancy as some but you genuinely feel cared for here. The staff is super nice and my first time coming in they gave me a large free drink while i waited for my food. The atmosphere is like when you know a friend who knows a friend whose cousin's grandma makes really good food, it really feels like hanging out in the driveway or back garage of a friends place while their family dotes on you and stuffs you with amazing food from grandma's kitchen. If you have a chance, definitely give it to this place! Highly recommend and I hope they get...
Read moreI stopped in here in the early afternoon and they didn't disappoint. The wait was a bit longer than fast food, but it was freshly prepared for me rather than sitting around. I had the fish tacos of which there were 3, each of the delicious soft tortillas very full of fried tilapia strips. Salad topped with avocado and the salsas were on the side. I would definitely order these again. I also ordered the small, which I am still eating on, ceviche, beautiful, fresh and tasty. I got the mixed fish and shrimp. Next time I will get only shrimp because it was cut very fine and I thought I could see it, I couldn't really taste it. I ordered this to go. The cashier and waitress were very friendly. I recommend this place for fresh, delicious authentic Mexican food and...
