El Sombrerito - Carpentersville

This is by far one of the best athitic Mexican restaurants that I have been in the restaurant business for over 30 years, and my place runs a 4.9 stars on all websites and trust me that you will love this place if you are looking for ancient Mexican food, if not going to the fast food links this is a mother and pop place support we will be back

I wish there were more places like these. At the same time, not because the owner, Ruben, is great. If you want great food and cocktails... El Sombrerito is great. Three thumbs up! Don't forget to ask for Ruben's murderer Margarita!! The best you ever have!

It is definitely not a beautiful or romantic place. The atmosphere is quite outdated, but the food and service is great! It is not the froo froo imagination Amaricanized fake Mexican food, so if that is what you are looking for is not the place. It's good ole fashion Mexican cuisine.

The new owners, The Garcia Brothers, are great. The food is excellent and the atmosphere is fun and exciting. Don't leave without trying the shrimp fajitas and the micheladas.
