This is an older restaurant that has been there for awhile. They have good mexican food, I really like the taquitos or the enchiladas. The service is always very good. They are located kind of downtown. Not the best neighborhood but certantly nothing I would be afraid of.

Awful food, especially the borritos

Since I love mexican food and I saw their sign a while ago, I just had to try them out. The service was good. However, their salsa is really bad...tasted like taco sauce. I oredered the El sombrero burrito which was probably the worst mexican food I have ever had. It is basically a tortilla wrapped in some of sort meat that tasted like something inbetween chicken and lamb meat. Then, there was a layer of cheese on top. Floating around the burrito was a layer of fat juices from the meat. And that was that-no rice, beans, or anything else inside the borrito. For the first time, I was about to demand my money back, but I felt bad for the server who was really nice. To top it off, it was quite pricey.

• Pros: Just might be the worst mexican resturant in bakersfield
• Cons: service was good

El Sombrero is the place to go if you want quality Mexican food fast and at a great price. The salsa is on the spicy side, but it does not lack in flavor. The best in town! Don't be fooled by the casual atmosphere and inexpensive dinner prices: the food is EXCELLENT!!!

• Pros: great food, inexpensive, fast service
