“ The food is very delicious. My friend and I ate carnitas tortas and they were so good. The meat was tender and flavorful. We arrived within a hour of closing and asked if it was too late to eat. The man said no it wasn’t and let us know what he had left. We were very pleased with our dinner. ”
“ 2 quesedillas, 2 Mexican cokes, 1 bottled water- $35. Probably won't go back at that price.... prices were marked out on the menu. Not the best value, but the food was good. Friendly service. Dining area is tiny, but it was just myself and a guest. ”
“ Please check this place out, up and coming family restaurant, house made Tortillas. Four Tables quaint little place. Wonderful Chili Rellenos combination plate my favorite.

You won’t be disappointed if you give this place a try. If you have a chance, definitely give it to this place! Highly recommend it ”
“ 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 tastiest food! ”
“ Y'all go check this place out, up and coming family restaurant, house made Tortillas on our tacos were fantastic, we also had the gorditas, GET THE CHORIZO AND CHEESE, it was my favorite. Also this drink that i can't remember the name of was delicious and refreshing with fresh cut pineapple, cucumber, and mango. We will be back! ”
“ I 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 friendly staff. ”
