El Sombrero McComb — Restaurant in McComb

Based off my personal experience alone I would give this place a 1 star review, however I was with a group and I was the only person who had any real issue with their experience. I ordered the Chile Relleno dish which was supposed to consist of two Chile relleno peppers stuffed with cheese and fried as usual, served alongside tortillas, rice, and beans. I received my plate and immediately noticed the “peppers”looked odd so I opened them up and discovered that there were no actual peppers inside the 2 large blobs on my plate aside from the random sliver of pepper here or there and the large stem piece I removed. I’ve attached a photo to this review and it shows where I opened both “peppers” no bite was ever taken of this dish and this is what they served.. sad very sad for “Chile relleno” I waved the waitress down and simply asked her where the peppers were and she looked confused herself, I told her that I wasn’t wanting the dish and she nodded and left the table. She never removed the dish and even put it on the initial bill, we had to ask her to remove it as no part of the dish was tasted or eaten. I would suggest this business remove a dish that isn’t what it is supposed to be and to try to make things right with their customers but I felt like she avoided our table the remainder of the night. I had chips, salsa and queso for dinner, definitely not the Mexican cuisine I was looking forward to.

The rest of our group enjoyed...

Ok We had my mother's 82nd birthday gathering at El sombrero Mexican Restaurant in McComb Mississippi. And what a great experience! The staff was a great deal of the reason for my five star rating. The food was REALLY good. This was the overall consensus of the nearly 30 good folks that were in our gathering. We had a great time at El Sombrero Mexican Restaurant. More importantly, My mom was elated! She had a great time. Its been a very log time since I'd seen her smiling and laughing as much as that evening. She expressed to me that. "This was the best birthdays I ever had". It made her statement even more touching because we recently lost my father. Her husband of 50+ years and this was her first birthday without him. I would like to thank all of the good people at El Sombrero Mexican Restaurant for making her special day a great memory for, I hope all that were in attendance....

Stopped in with our family as we traveled north on I-55. It was ok; not great…just ok. The chips tasted like they were fried in dirty grease. I had the Special- the shrimp didn’t seem to be fully-cooked, so I didn’t eat them. I will say that the portion sizes are large and the prices aren’t super expensive. My biggest complaint is the cleanliness of the restaurant and friendliness of the staff. There was a really dirty, broken outlet box under my daughter’s chair…I didn’t notice it until we got ready to leave. It looked dangerous. As we walked past the hostess on our way out of the restaurant, I noticed she was smoking some sort of electronic cigarette. This was strange and unexpected. Atmosphere was a bit off. Oh, and they charged automatic gratuity for our family of 8; I would have given a bigger tip, if she hadn’t...
