El Sombrero is “der Mexikaner“ restaurant in Jena, located at Lobdergraben 9a. It is popular for it’s Mexican cuisine and décor but probably mostly for it’s reasonable cocktail hours. Inside, the restaurant provides tables, sofas and high bar stools which you can choose depending on your eating or drinking requirements. Outside, you can avail from a terrace table in good weather or even order from the Food Taxi which can be seen delivering food throughout Jena. The menu is solid and offers a variety of dishes in the traditional Mexican fare: burritos, chilli etc. Although tasty, the food is lacking any real Mexican flavours and ingredients. There is very little “Mexican” about chicken wings and fried potatoes but nevertheless, the dish is tasty, filling and good value. Having visited El Sombrero on my first night living in Jena I became acquainted with the food early and it hasn’t drawn me back. However, the cocktails and specifically the “Happy Hours” are plenty of reasons to visit El Sombrero again and again. The atmosphere is jovial, the service is slow but constant and the dining areas are clean. All in all, visit El Sombrero for the food and stay for the cocktails.
Our Verdict: We are already planning our next visit.
