Mexican Cuisine
If you enjoy Taco Tuesday, then you have officially fallen in love with the Mexican Food. The main grain of Mexican cuisine is maize. Also known as corn, maize is grown for the past 9000 years after the crop was discovered by the people in Mayan civilization. Mexican empire flourished when they started growing beans, tomatoes, chili pepper, sweet potato and cactus. Till this date these ingredients are used in cooking authentic Mexican dishes and drinks.
Great use of spices, fresh chili pepper dishes like fajitas, tortilla chips, corn chips, salsa, chimichangas, burritos, nachos and quesadillas are invented in America. But when you are looking for authentic Mexican food then you must find a restaurant in the city that serves Rajas con Queso, Garbanzo in a Guajillo Chile Sauce, Pork Filled Chiles Rellenos, Chiles en Nogada, Molcajete Salsa, Pico de Gallo and Frijoles de la Olla. An eye-opening fact – Mexican don't like their food hot. They use fresh chili and other spices to create a flavor that lingers in your mouth.
Mexican food is great for those who are Gluten Intolerant as they use Corn instead of wheat in most of their dishes. Also, you can easily find many beans based Mexican dishes. Another dish which didn't get similar glory as tacos or nachos is the Mexican hot chocolate. If you love something hot on a chilly day, then go for Mexican Hot Chocolate. On merry days, you can enjoy the authentic Mexican Drinks like Tequila, Mezcal, Tecuí, Sotol, Bacanora, Charanda, Posh O Pox, Puebla and Pulque. Mexican Cuisine is for people who enjoy strong drinks and hearty meals.

El Sombrero, or "the hat", is a great place to start off your night in Stateboro. I used to frequent this location at least 2-3 times a week for their drink specials, which were always very cheap, so there was usually an abundance of college kids hanging out in the bar area. Normally in any other town El Sombrero would be a great place to take a family; however, in this town I would not recommend anyone with kids to take their family in here at any hour of the day except for an early lunch. If you plan on going any time after lunch you might have your children be exposed to massive amounts of drinking and cigarette smoking if they catch a glimpse of the GSU students in action. I actually went to this location to start off a night of celebration for my 21st birthday party. Needless to say, all of my friends ordered me a copious amount of shots like the "Flaming Dr. Pepper" and the "4 Horsemen." I know what your thinking, and my answer is yes, those shots looked as frightening as they tasted. The food is typical of any other Mexican restaurant that anyone has ever eaten at. It is a little heavy on the stomach though, and may cause an unpleasant night if you eat here before going out on the town.

The thing that El Som has going for it is cheap big beers and huge margaritas. This is the top hangout for college students in the 'boro. I'm not ashamed to say that I started out my 21st birthday here. The food isn't good, nor is it real mexican cooking but it will satisfy you, besides food is just an afterthought to the good times to be had here.

Not real Mexican food. It's Mexican for gringos. They give you a squeeze bottle of Parkay when you ask for mantequilla. Food is greasy and best enjoyed after a couple margaritas or Negra modelos. Their margaritas are actually pretty good. But if you have low standards when it comes to Mexican food then The Hat is fine.

By far the mist popular restaurant here in town. Friday & Saturday nights expect to wait 20-40min, but well worth it. Cheese dip is the best & they have great weekly specials

Food was awesome!! Gotta love some Mexican food and they are spot on. I got full eating all the chips, salsa and queso that I could barely eat dinner. Margarita was good, however I wish they would skip the sweet and sour margarita mix and squeeze fresh lime instead. The yellow shirted Mexican Waiters were friendly and very attentive. I was full and satisfied throughout the meal.

I shouldn't like El Som, really, as I've aged out of their core audience, but I can't help it. Here are some things you need to know about the Hat: drinks are cheap and plentiful, it's noisy and filled with undergrads, this location feels like an undergrad restaurant, the food is great. It's dark and a little dingy, with a weird green neon light running the interior, but it works. Quick take: The food isn't as good as El Rinconcito, but they have a liquor license. I usually order the same thing every time I go (enchiladas rancheras) but I recently discovered their made-tableside guacamole. It is heavenly and it's really entertaining to watch the guac being made at your table. They move so quickly! The free salsa and chips are delicious, too.

El som is a Boro staple. There are 3 locations around town and every local has an opinion on which one is best. This one is my personal favorite. My family comes here every Saturday for lunch, and has been for as many years as I can remember. In fact, it's the only Mexican restaurant my grandfather will eat at, period. The food's really good. My personal favorites are the chilles poblanos and their quesadillas. They don't have the best rice and beans in town, but this place is really more about traditional tortillas prepared in various ways stuffed with meat and melty goat cheese. They also specialize in fajita and nacho dishes that are unmatched among the other Mexican restaurants in town. Their drink specials make this a great place for grabbing some grub with friends! Highly recommended.

Building is beautiful but they could have spent money hiring competent waitstaff and preparing decent food. I make better tacos at home. Mozzarella on a taco? Seriously? The name is super original. Should have just called it the Mexican restaurant. Mexicans wouldn't even eat there I bet.

We love coming here for lunch and dinner. Really cheap prices for the food and margaritas! Our server Israel was nice and fast and made the experience great too.

The review of "the Hat" just depends on which you are at: Fair Road (college one). Lovely for the collegiate atmosphere The "Taj" - Love, love, love the atmosphere, esp for dates The Small one- In the old publix shopping center and by far the best taste wise!!!

Passed through Statesboro for this past holiday with the in-laws. Had one of the seafood burritos and liked the flavor. However, make sure to ask for real cheese instead of the processed white nacho cheese that they add by default. Although both forms of cheese taste good, the real cheese is healthier for you and tastes a bit better. The horchata was so good that you will not need to order dessert.

I am both a Statesboro local and a senior GSU student and I have seen the evolution of El Sombrero in this area. The demand has grown so great that there are now three in Statesboro alone. El Sombrero has fantastic Mexican food (although, I would venture to say it's not likely to be authentic and more Americanized) for more than reasonable prices. I can usually eat, including a drink, for around $6. I also can't say that they are the cleanest, but for the food and the price I can't complain. The first El Sombrero in town, also the smallest of the three, is on Hwy. 80 tucked into a shopping center that used to house a Publix. All of the locals know this is the one for the best food, but it lacks a bar of any real size. Therefore the one near the college on Fair Road and the new restaurant get more business from college students. So, if you're looking for food, not drinks, definitely visit the older one.
