El Sombrero, Socorro

Location

210 Mesquite.... but its visible from I-25 near exit 150 to the East. (Amy's directions:) Take I-25 and take exit 150. Take a left at the first stop light and then another left after you cross over the highway. You can't miss it!

Review by Tom Tongue

The best New Mexican food, and extremely reasonable prices ($3-$6 per entree). The atmosphere makes a great contribution to the meal, with an Atrium, and the occasional serenade from a live musician.

[Editor's Comments] This is one of my favorite restaurants in the state because of the good New Mexican food, exceptional prices, and it is convenient for travelers on I-25 - a good stop between Las Cruces and Albuquerque. I highly recommend Lupe's Enchilada Plate, red, egg over easy. Service can be a bit slow during peak hours, but in Socorro the pace is a bit slower anyhow, so relax and enjoy! Take the north exit to Socorro and immediately hang a left, crossing over the freeway. Hang another left and you're there. --ron

Review by Amy:

Just a word of advice. If you want some good Mexican Food, this is the place to stop. The prices are low and the food is great! I must recommend the mini-tacos as an appetizer. I live here so I am telling the truth!
