Sombreros Mexican Cantina

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.

I came in 2013 and had a wonderful experience! The people were so nice; and the food was so tasty! We came back twice. So on my visit back to Queenstown in July I thought it would be wonderful to visit my favourite restaurant in Queenstown. I WAS WRONG! The decor hadn't much changed, but the food had. The staff ignored my father when he wanted to get some sour cream for his main, they mucked up at least half of our order. I got vegetarian instead of the meat I wanted for my nachos. Disappointed.

Loved the service! Super nice waitress. Loved our food too, but, portion could be a little bigger. I absolutely fell in love with the Mexican soft drink, guava flavor was delicious. For all Mexican lovers, go here!

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.

Always a great feed. Really reasonably priced and the staff are friendly and helpful. The atmosphere is bright and friendly. A good location for couples or families wanting a quick and cheap dinner or lunch. They also do takeaways

What an amazing place! We ordered the 'fajitas for two' but you could probably share between three. So much food! The food was incredible and the service was brilliant. Very accommodating for a large group at short notice too. Will definitely be back on our next trip. Thank you!

Fabulous place. Food was wonderful. So flavourful. Love the decor, staff and atmosphere. Our group of 14 was well taken care of. It may or may not be authentic" (never had authentic

Fantastic service and very child-friendly!Lovely owner-operators looked after my wife and I and our two children (toys are provided). Nice warm, homely vibe, good food, excellent choice of music (acoustic covers of top hits).Food + beverages were well priced and of good quality. If we lived in Queenstown this would definitely be a regular hangout!

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!"

The food is terrible. The staff is friendly.The tortilla chips were stale and obviously straight from a bag. Not home made and just warmed up. The Spanish rice is almost sweet and not remotely “Mexican” cuisine. Beans were firm. Nothing was well spiced. The margaritas didn’t even taste like lemon or lime. Just water and cheap tequila.I’ve tried the other Mexican restaurants in Queenstown and they do things much better. Wouldn’t waste my money here again.
