I visited here from Chicago as a blink 182 fan, and came to find good food and a great atmosphere! Maybe it's not the best Mexican food I've ever had, but the portions were good (my taco was overflowing with cheese) ordering was easy and customization friendly, and the staff were incredibly nice people. Seems like a chill place for locals to hang out!
I love the food here. Its always fresh and fantastic. My favorites are they fish and calamari tacos. Also, there is a calamari burrito that I get almost every time. They even have a little salsa bar. Good food, good eats. 😁
Drove an hour and a half for this, mainly because it was mentioned in one of Blink-182’s song.
We weren’t expecting much but we enjoyed the food! The staff were great and recommended us the fresh made hot sauce and it was amazing! It’s really good with everything.
Order:
- Carne Asada Supreme (half): I would come back and order the whole size. It’s great!! Loved this more than the burrito.
- Cali Burrito: So good! The portion is not the big but enough to fill you up.
- Tamales: (Cheese + green chile)(Sweet corn) AMAZING!
Office got this for morning breakfast so i can only review food.
Breakfast burrito 8/10: they use the pink potatoes forgot what those were called instead of russet. I liked it. Everything else was pretty standard.
Hot sauce 7/10: not bad not spicy either.
Rice and beans 7/10: standard.
Good food, friendly staff. We got the fajita bowl and bean tostada. Both were good. Especially the beans and rice. I personally was not a fan of the spices used on the chicken, but I tend to prefer central Mexican food over coastal. We will probably be back to try other items.
Yes, this is the Sombrero's location mentioned in the Blink-182 song, "Josie." Tom and the original drummer, Scott, attended Poway High School, which is just up the road. There are a bunch of fan messages tagged in permanent marker in the bathroom and the restaurant recently sold exclusive Blink-182 merchandise, though it sold out almost immediately and is not expected to be offered a second time. As far as the food goes, the band didn't sing about it fondly for nothing, it's amazing. The California Burrito is great (it's got fries in it which is unique and tastes great), as well as their Breakfast Burritos,l. They also make great quesadillas, and I personally love both the Tortas and the Nacho Supreme (try it with adobada meat). They also have churros, and several Mexican Restaurant type drinks (horchata, tamarindo, etc). I usually go here once a week, but at most I'll only ever go as infrequently as once a month. It's really good, give it a try!

My daughter's business is nearby and she has catered food from this restaurant. I have tested the leftovers and handed to get how delicious everything is.
Today I was in the vicinity and decided to stop in for an early dinner. I selected the chili Verde burrito, and requested that the beans that would otherwise be on the inside of the burrito be served in a cup in the outside, instead.
Oh, my goodness! EVERYTHING I have tasted is fabulous.
The beans are cooked and seasoned to perfection. They gave me chips on the side, which were relished with a couple of their salsas from the bar. My favorite today is the chunky zesty salsa fresca. Having grown up with Pace Picante Sauce ( my uncle Dave Pace's company), I know salsa. This is among the best I have ever tasted. 😂
The chili Verde lived up to its reputation when the cashier forewarned me it's spicy! Love it! The chunks of tender pork were succulent and rich in flavor.
The staff are pleasant and helpful, and we shared a little smile. The restaurant is clean and organized. Superb!
On top of it all, my meal cost less than $9, and I have plenty to take home. I'll definitely be baaaaack!
Quick and tasty. I got the fish tacos. They were a little bland and I'm glad I got the two different hot sauces.
Get the Asada fries Supreme it's super good but for God please avoid the chicken. It's tasteless, nasty and it comes in way too big of chunks. Made me feel ill
It's one of my favorite taco shops. I've eaten there for years. I did prefer the dining room the way it was prior to the renovation, which I think were done a couple of years ago. My coworker and I would sit in the back booth that was there and do paperwork while eating. I can't speak much about the menu since I have literally only ordered the California burrito in 15 years or so of going to Sombreros.
