El Sombrero Mexican Restaurant & BBQ House in Bad Oeynhausen

Delicious food, excellent service, and a very pleasant atmosphere. I'll be back again and again.

On Good Friday we had the idea of ​​going out to eat before going to the cinema at short notice. From the table reservation over the phone (which was very friendly by the way) to the service and food, it's a solid 5 stars. We have never been greeted so warmly in person or on the telephone in any restaurant. We would love to come back!

The food was ok, the service wasn't good at all. The wrong thing was delivered to several people and the lady's behavior towards us was snippy, unfriendly, arrogant and absolutely unprofessional. If the man who took the shot had served us, we would have been happy to come back, but what we experienced wasn't possible at all and, above all, this unfriendly and, above all, listless manner was repeated several times. The price-performance ratio wasn't right. Bad Oeynhausen also has other locations. Where the service is good and I get better quality for the price

I've eaten here several times and have never been disappointed. The staff is super friendly, attentive and always in a good mood. And the food? It tastes great every time! I always like to come by.

Very tasty, nice shop, nice staff. Gladly again

Not very good from the outside, but absolutely fine on the inside. Very tasty food, friendly service. Recommended

I live in Germany, but I used to live in the province of Barcelona in Spain - in an area where many native Mexicans live. There you can find authentic Mexican restaurants on every corner with really good food and real taste. This restaurant, on the other hand, looks more like a German dressed up as a Mexican. We ordered nachos and were served a few scattered nachos around a few bowls of sauces in the middle of the plate. Price? 12€ for the simplest version. In Barcelona you get a large, full plate with cheese, jalapeños, ham... and the sauces come separately - as it should be. The burrito... honestly, I don't know what it was - but it had nothing to do with a real Mexican burrito. And to top it off, the first thing the waiter asked us was if we would like to drink wine. Wine? This is rather unusual in a Mexican restaurant. Honestly, I don't understand how this restaurant can have such good reviews. For me it's a clear case of a one star. Anyone who spends more here has probably never tried real Mexican food.

That was good and tasty. Very friendly service and good ambience.

Very nice service, unfortunately our food came a little late, but we were very kindly compensated for the waiting time at the house's expense. 😉 The cocktails are very tasty.

Service was abysmal, we had to wait over an hour for food or half an hour before we were even noticed. Food was good but the service was messed up. The boys were very friendly but forgot everything and were incredibly slow Wouldn't come again

Very good and tasty food! Great service, great cocktails and a very cozy atmosphere! We'll be back!

First class food and great service! We had dinner with seven people and ordered five different dishes. EVERYONE enjoyed it very much. Although the restaurant was busy, service didn't take long. In addition, all the employees were very friendly.

This was the 5th or 6th time we've eaten there. The first two times it was great, then it got worse and worse. Was there last time yesterday. The inside of the meat was completely raw and bloody, even though it was ordered medium. You could count the side dishes (fries) on both hands. 100 euros for 2 people and not being full afterwards. Unfortunately not recommended for the price. There are far better providers in the area.

Nice staff, very accommodating and polite. 👍🏻🤗

Four of us ate at El Sombrero and had reserved in advance. As soon as we arrived we were warmly welcomed by the friendly and attentive staff. The restaurant was very busy, which meant the volume was quite high. Unfortunately we had to wait a little longer for our food, but when it was served we were absolutely impressed. The dishes were attractively prepared, tasted excellent and the portions were generous. Overall a great dining experience with authentic Mexican cuisine. We'd love to come back!

Very tasty food and good service

Nice service, delicious food, nice restaurant! No need to say more. Top

The food is really delicious, but I think the price is very steep (there was half a star deduction for that and half a deduction for the ambience in the winter garden).

Little going on on Sunday lunchtime

Spontaneously got a table on Saturday evening and wasn't disappointed. The staff was very quick and very friendly. No long wait. The place was full and yet it didn't seem hectic. The food also came very quickly. The two of us had the large grill plate for 2 people. Both were very hungry and we went home full! Plenty of it, super tasty. You can safely eat here, it was spontaneous and great!

Food and service really good. Can be recommended with a clear conscience. Ambiance only 3 stars because we didn't have a particularly good table. But the others looked good.

We were there for the first, but not the last, time. Staff- 10⭐️ Very friendly!!!! Food- 5⭐️

Went there for the first time today and I'm thrilled! The staff is incredibly friendly, warm and extremely polite. The atmosphere is simply great, and the food – a real treat! Every bite was a flavor explosion. We'll definitely be back!

Delicious there but quite expensive

Really delicious Mexican food and nice atmosphere! Very friendly staff! Happy to come back!

Very good Mexican food at reasonable prices.

After shopping we spontaneously decided to eat something. The restaurant was quite full and everything was reserved but we still got a table. The friendly waiters quickly provided us with menu cards and took our order. Drinks and food were served reasonably quickly. The food was beautifully prepared and looked very tasty. The food served was hot and we really enjoyed it. Cocktails, drinks and tequila were great. Overall, it was a great dinner and we felt very comfortable.

It was really beautiful and super tasty. Great service, questions and special requests were no problem. We'd love to come back! The prices are also justified for the great quality!👍

Went there spontaneously for the first time today! Very friendly staff, good atmosphere and very comfortable benches/chairs. They both had the BBQ spareribs with wedges, very tasty! Definitely not the last time there!!

Super tasty, great ambience, friendly service.... Will come back ❤️ definitely recommended ❤️

Super delicious food, we would love to come back 👍

Perfect place to enjoy dinner on the go - delicious fajitas.

Very tasty, the waiting time was a little long, but it was okay for a large group (12 people). Otherwise everything was great, we would love to come back.

Very nice service, the food was super tasty, well seasoned, freshly prepared and of very good quality! Restaurant and toilets clean and well maintained! I would love to eat here more often!

Nice location with courteous staff. The food is not only delicious, but also well prepared. I just found the music on a continuous loop to be a bit too loud to have a relaxed conversation.

Very nice, good food, good atmosphere, typical Mexican and very attentive people.

Everything is just right at El Sombrero: super friendly and courteous staff, a cozy feel-good atmosphere and excellent, well-prepared food! An absolute must!

It was my first time there and I absolutely loved it. The staff is very attentive and friendly. The food was very tasty and the prices are absolutely justified. I can recommend it with a clear conscience.

You order food in advance, are told it will take half an hour and then have to wait another 20 minutes to pick it up. They don't even apologize for it taking so long.

Food was very tasty, service was a bit slow but understandable for a holiday

Family gathering on Christmas Day for dinner with 18 people. First of all, everything was well organized and the service was always attentive and friendly. The entire meal for all of us (18!) arrived perfectly at the same time. And all the dishes were beautifully prepared to perfection (e.g. steaks). The plates were also nicely decorated. All in all a successful family meal in a lovely, warm atmosphere. Would definitely recommend it without reservation. Thank you .

Great restaurant with excellent service. Very child friendly and the food was great.

Nice team, food was good! The young lady with blonde hair and glasses is a great employee

Very very tasty. Unfortunately, like many others, the price has become a bit expensive, but it's definitely worth it. Have been there again and again for a long time and will continue to do so again and again.

Incredibly delicious! The food tasted very good. The service was top and the price-performance ratio was also right. So far the best Mexican restaurant I've ever been to. Card payment is possible here without any problems.

Everything was great, thank you very much!

It was once again a real culinary delight and I can only recommend it.

We received a very friendly welcome from the service staff and were also super nice and attentive accompanied through the evening. The food was simply fantastic. My steak juicy and perfectly cooked. I would love to come back here!

Tasty but not authentically Mexican. Unfortunately I cannot recommend entrecote. The service is super nice and the house cocktail is a hit

Very nice reception, the staff was totally friendly and attentive. Food super tasty. Highly recommended.

The food and service were very good👌🏼

Highly recommended. Good service, delicious steaks and a chic atmosphere.

We were there for the second time yesterday and it was again incredibly tasty. Absolute recommendation.

Completely successful! Great service, amazing food and a sweet surprise Birthday. When making our online reservation, my husband only stated that we were there on the occasion of my birthday. Decorations on the table and a dessert as a congratulation from the restaurant team. Thank you, I'll definitely be back soon with a larger group!

Simply awesome, great skewers and steak, cream catalania flambéed at the table

Were here at lunchtime. The food was very freshly prepared, the portion was very large, next time I'll ask for half. The atmosphere is beautifully decorated and the staff are attentive and very friendly. Gladly again.

Great Mexican cuisine. Nice employees and great atmosphere.

A great restaurant with an authentic Mexican atmosphere! The decoration and music create the feeling of really being in Mexico. The staff is very friendly and attentive. Definitely a place to come back to. Highly recommended!

We come once a year. Drinks price/performance top. However, the prices for naccos are far too high. The sauces are charged an extra €4, which we think is a shame. Because 15€ for gratinated nachchos with chicken strips is enough. But the renovation sends greetings...

Very good food, the price was right too.

Were there for the first time yesterday, nice atmosphere, good food, good service.

We had ordered food to pick up worth around €50. I actually love Mexican food and was hoping for a lot based on the good reviews. The staff was very friendly both on the phone and when picking up the food and the atmosphere in the restaurant was also very appealing. Unfortunately, the food didn't really live up to our expectations. The nachos with minced meat and cheese were quite good, but unfortunately the two main courses were not particularly good. I missed the typical Mexican seasoning and seared minced meat. It just didn't taste much, and overall it was a very muddy affair. It's a shame, I was hoping that I would like it so much that I could get something from here regularly. I found the price of just under €50 to be sporty. I expect really first-class food. Then the price is justified. But unfortunately that wasn't the case here. Really a shame!

What can I say, everything was just great. The food was very tasty, as were the cocktails and the service was really very accommodating and polite. Unfortunately, it doesn't happen that often these days. We were always asked whether everything was OK and whether we had any further wishes. But always casual and not annoyingly intrusive. I will definitely come back, even though I have to travel 70km, but it's worth it to me :)

The waitress came to the table maybe twice, each time we had to shout halfway across the restaurant so we could place new drink orders.

Very tasty food, we were 8 people and everyone was happy with their choice. Drinks delicious too! You can make it as expensive as you want with the drinks, which made our bill more expensive. The alcohol-free mixes also tasted delicious! The restaurant is not in the cozy center but is definitely worth a visit. In summer you can sit outside.

Super delicious Mexican restaurant. Highly recommended, value for money is good, the atmosphere is very cozy. Cocktails are also absolutely delicious. The employees were all very accommodating and friendly. We will definitely come back.

The service was great, perhaps a little more coordination between individual colleagues. 😄 I had the bison, which was generally good, but I had a few pieces of bison that were a little too spicy. Regardless, I could again. The tuna and cheese nachos are a delicious appetizer.

We were there for the first time. We were in the mood for Mexican food like guacamole etc. Since we had already been to Mexico, we found the food to be very European. Yes, they were Mexican names, but they lacked the typical Mexican spices and spiciness. I understand that you want to reach a wide audience and the food was all delicious. I just wish I had had the choice too. Nice, strong chimichurri would be great. Fine guacamole, green salsa... Nonetheless - delicious. I would have liked a little more privacy. Unintentionally, we had to listen to conversations from the next table. I didn't like that at all.

Once again absolutely top. Delicious food, full plates, great service. What more could you want? Totally within the price range. Gladly again

Excellent service! According to the motto “the customer is king”. Very tasty food and great cocktails. We'd love to come back!

Everything was perfect, from the welcome to the end. Cooperation very friendly and attentive. Ribs are highly recommended! Cocktails could use a little more alcohol, but the taste is great!

Had a wonderful evening again, with very tasty food and friendly service!

Great food, extremely friendly and committed staff, staff also know how to deal with children. Thank you for the lovely evening. We'd love to come back!

Excellent food, a varied selection of drinks and despite the fact that the shop was packed, everything was made from the heart. If you love sweet main dishes, you can't miss No.281. Simply a culinary delight. Super nice personalities who serve you. Clean, loving ceramics department. An unreserved recommendation is more than appropriate here.

We were there for the first time today, we really enjoyed it, the cocktails tasted very good! Alcoholic and non-alcoholic! The food was delicious and there was a lot...👍👍👍👍 We also really liked the atmosphere. The service was also very prompt and attentive! We'd love to come back

Super nice atmosphere. Incredibly delicious food. Super nice service. I ate here for the first time today and I was very impressed 😍 I will definitely eat there again. The service was super good. We felt completely comfortable. Thank you for this lovely evening, dear El Sombrero team.👍

Nice atmosphere in the restaurant. Very nice beer garden. Very inconspicuous from the outside. Service very attentive and accommodating. Food was very tasty, although we weren't so lucky with the meat as some pieces were very stringy. Overall, very tasty and reasonably priced.

We had made a reservation for a Friday evening for three people. Due to the late hour we were allowed to choose one of three tables. There were three of us there. Two people with intellectual disabilities and one person without a disability. The service at El Sombrero is good anyway. The gentlemen in the service staff particularly treated the two people with disabilities very well. No fear of contact at all, plenty of time to chat and make jokes. Patient and extremely friendly. We felt VERY comfortable here and would be happy to come back at any time. The food was great - as always. However, this interaction made it extraordinary and I would therefore like to encourage everyone to support such a great, inclusive restaurant! Chapeau and thank you, dear El Sombrero Team Bad Oeynhausen!

really good food, delicious tequila, nice service...that's still the case, I'll definitely be back soon

great taste super service kind polite beautiful people

Food was tasty but the service wasn't that good must have been because the service was new so we'll give them another chance...

Perfect food, perfect service, perfect processes. We'll be happy to come back. Thank you

Nice place to eat and enjoy. The plates were massive for a very hungry person. Nice staff. Nice beer garden

We have reserved online, It worked great 👍🏼 The confirmation came minutes later - great We were greeted very politely and immediately felt at home. Starter and main course were very tasty. Unfortunately the chicken wings were out that evening. But there were more spareribs. There are also various dishes for vegetarians. This is also highly recommended. And we are very critical of that. All in all a wonderful evening spent there. We were there for the first but not the last time. More than thrilled

Very accommodating, food was also delicious.

The only complaint about the food is that the portions may not correspond to the prices for larger eaters. Nevertheless, as can be seen from the pictures in other reviews, the food is visually and tastefully flawless. When it comes to the ambience, all you have to say is that the music is certainly not for everyone and sometimes disrupts conversations. But these negative points are really minimal and in my opinion turn a straight 5 into a 4.8. Highly Recommended!

We had dinner at "el Sombrero" on a relatively warm Saturday and were able to choose a table. Luckily for us, there was a very nice and shady terrace where we could have a great time. Our 2 different dishes were very nice to look at and super tasty, and the portion size was also sufficient for me, as a good eater. The staff was extremely friendly and just in a good mood👍😂 A clear recommendation for “El Sombrero”

We were totally thrilled, good food, great ambience were just great there and the service was excellent and completely satisfied.

Super delicious food. Very friendly service. Price-performance okay

Excellent food, friendly service, great ambience, highly recommended.

Great fun evening....very tasty and freshly prepared....and friendly, really lovely service....We'll definitely be back

Really authentic Mexican food. This is not a given in every “Mexican” restaurant.

Very tasty food, an interesting selection on the menu and an attractive amount on the plate. Absolutely friendly staff and nice atmosphere. Small room for improvement: The food could have been a bit hotter.

Super tasty food that isn't too spicy. The service was attentive without being intrusive.

Super good food a bit expensive but for the price it's worth it

The spare ribs were very good, and according to my companion, the steaks are also recommended. The atmosphere is nice and the staff is friendly.

We really liked it there. The atmosphere is cozy, the employees are all very nice and attentive. There were five of us and everyone really enjoyed their food. Well seasoned, fresh and nicely decorated. The portions were also really good.

The food is very good, the atmosphere is very cozy and friendly, decorated to match the theme. The waitresses are very friendly and treat the guest with respect according to the motto (the customer is king) the food is served just right if you order medium, for example!!!👍🏽 the waiting times are perfectly fine 20-30 minutes whatever A starter felt very good, the dips are super tasty, the portions are generous and the prices are reasonable. All in all, I can only give it a 10/10 at any time

Nice staff, good food, we'd love to come back.

The service was very nice and the restaurant was also nicely decorated. But we weren't so happy with the food. This was our third time there (we were always invited on birthdays). The taste is okay, but the price-performance ratio is not right. Children's plate (chicken nugettes with fries €9.90) Chicken nuggets were not fillet but molded meat). Chicken wings with farmer potatoes €18.90, the wings were fried, not grilled Grill plate with rice, salad and fries, turkey skewer fried, pork steak fried to death, rump steak medium, sometimes tough, the rice lukewarm and not much on the plate for €29.90 Nachos from the bag with cheese and jalapeños €9.90 plus 3 small dips €4, together €13.90. We often go out to eat and are willing to pay for quality, but it just doesn't work here. The steak from another guest looked good and tasted good.
