Sombrero Celle

We were more than satisfied as ever. Service great. Food was great. What do you want?

My husband and I took our Niece for dinner as their favorite restaurant. I called to reserve a table 4 days in advance and I was told that they were fully booked. The next day we went by, so we decided to try our luck and see if they had a table, and safe enough, they have. The waiter said there were many tables available. My Niece ordered the same meal she usually does, and was happy with him, but both I found a man the Enchiladas seriously salty, and the worst of all, it does not come with rice; the waitress told us they took rice from the menu some time ago. How can you serve Mexican food without rice? Anyway, the service was great and friendly, the food came fast, but we will not be back.

I have eaten here may times over the last seven years, and the food and service have always been great. Then something happened a couple of years ago. I am in Celle maybe once or twice a year, and always have dinner in Sombrero one...evening of my trip. However, when I turned up in 2014, they were empty but didn’t have a table for one. I tried later that week, turning up at 18.00, when they open. No table. This was repeated on the next three trips to the town. Sometimes busy, sometimes empty but never a table for the lone visitor. I don’t know the reason but I suspect they don’t want one person sitting at table where they could serve two, or even four. Very poor customer relations. I seem not to be the only person who has noticed this.

Sombrero seems to be always fully booked, that 's the impression you get during the weekend, so I tried it out during the week. It was already a bit later on the evening, so I asked if the kitchen was still open. 'Of course ' the waiter...replied, so I ordered chicken wings. To make a long story short: they were well seasoned completely dried out After pointing this out to the waiter, he explained that they might have had a bit too much heat, and that he would inform the cook. And than: nothing. No excuses, no replacement, nothing. I paid my bill and went. It was the first and the last time I will visit them.

Anyone who likes Mexican cuisine is more than right here. Spicy, leaky, just good.
