One of the best places to eat? So sad for Socorro... Aug 23rd, 2005
anyone remember La Casita? THAT was the best place to eat in Socorro... El Sombrero is one of the ...few... places to get Mexican food with a beer in Socorro - the food is acceptable - but hot chile? NOT. Not even enough of it in an enchilada. en-CHILE-ada... it's supposed to have lots of chile in it! Socorro is ripe for a really good Mexican place.

Don't believe the hype Feb 20th, 2005
OK, I've eaten here many times -- this is one of the best places to eat at in Socorro. I'm not sure what the other reviewer is talking about. I do know the old man the other reviewer is taking about and yes, he is snappy. The food here is GOOD and the service is usually great. You get quick refills on iced tea (soft drinks refills cost). This place is usually busy during the evenings and you can wait a while to get your food. Try it, along with the Sopapillas.

Is this a joke?? Mar 1st, 2004
I was amazed at what I had to experience at this place. Apparently my friends have had trouble before with the manager at this place but didn't tell me until we were there finishing out dinner. We sat at 8:25PM. The music and the water fountain were already off. It felt awfully quiet so I asked my server to get some music going. He did so but the manager followed by turning the music off 10 minutes 'till 9 (close time). Not only that, he turned off the lights at us! I finished my dinner which wasn't that bad, and went to talk to the manager. His response, "That's what I do! We close at nine!". I told him that he doesn't know how to run a business, and he followed by pointing me to the Taco Bell across the street. He also pointed that since he was 77 and I was only 23, I didn't know anything about running a business. I therefore responded with my strongest weapon: "Why don't you get an education?". His rage was so great that he yelled profanity and threw a punch at me!!! Cops were called, and I decided not to press charges. He kept insulting me by yelling at me "...you damn student! you damn foreigner..", and we left it at that. Outside, the officer asked us why we went to this place in the first place. He's been called multiple times to this problems because of problems with the customers with this manager (or book keeper, or whoever this old man was). He even refused to let a group of officers in because he didn't want guns in his restaurant!

What amazes me is, if this definitely isn't the first incident, why do the owners keep him as an employee?? My assumption, he must be a relative.
