Sombreros Mexican Cantina

I've dined at Sombreros Mexican Cantina twice now and I have to say that the service has been great both times. The atmosphere is awesome (a tribute to traditional Mexican cantina... well at-least i think it is....) and they have a wood fire heater that keeps the place toasty warm, I have to disclose that i found the food to be 'just okay', but my mate (pictured below) that has been to Mexico absolutely loved it "buenos nachos" he said ... But we both agreed that the the bucket of 6 Coronas for $45 was awesome!! Enjoy your meals amigos!

A great place providing good food with great service. The restaurant is well presented as the owners have themed it as a Mexican restaurant. I really enjoyed my time having a meal there and thoroughly recommend that you give it a go. Its upstairs in the Queenstown CBD which provides a good view of the street below. Worthy of a visit in my humble opinion. See the photo I took as it gives you a great view of the restaurant.

This is not like the Mexican Restaurant in Christchurch which specialized in their own sauce creations and interpretation on Mexican cuisine (which I loved rating them a FIVE star). These folks are much more traditional Mexican with a twist. The twist is these folks have improved on the Mexican culinary experience and presentation than what I find in North Carolina or Texas. I should note that this place is NOT easy to find as well as it does make one wonder 'where in the world am I going?'. My safety did come into mind on occasion via the winding, twisting and bizarre direction my way through crevices, turns and climbing stair way... but my adventurous side won! The place is staffed by a wonderful young crew of three.. and.... there is one young lady from Chile who actually speaks Spanish! The service is great and refreshing...food is great.... and the Mango marguerite is delicious... all two liters! And ... the price.... is more reasonable than anywhere you will find in Queenstown.

Perfect dinner location for large groups, convenient being able to pre book tables there. Never had an issue with food quality, they catered to the needs of one of our group members (being celiac), more than happy to do so. Highly recommend dining here. Staff were great, had some good laughs with them.

This place is great. Stopped in on a whim since we were mixing Mexican food. I was very impressed with the Ceviche Taco - probably the single best taco I have ever had. They also served the food with a variety of hot sauces and the Kiwi Fruit hot sauce was spectacular. Also they have $6 beers on tap. Great place, great food, great service. I would definitely go back.
