Los Sombreros Mexican Cantina

$$, Mexican, Scottsdale

User Rating: **** 4.0

Fodor's Review:

Los Sombreros is in a converted brick home with lovely patio seating and serves dishes not found in typical Mexican restaurants. Start with the smoked salmon tostada: a crisp corn tortilla spread with cream cheese and chipotle chile, then topped with smoked salmon. Entrées include lamb adobo, a shank braised in a piquant sauce of ancho chiles, garlic, and cinnamon. Ice creams are housemade, and the tamal de chocolate is made with Mexican chocolate, sugar, and ground almonds. Los Sombreros also serves the best flan you'll find this side of Mexico City.

Not your typical Mexican restaurant

Posted by rdbohm from Phoenix, Arizona on 5/8/08

If you want Tex-Mex or Sonoran style Mexican food this is not the place for you. If you want outstanding regional Mexican food this is one of the two best places in the "Valley of the Sun". The Queso Fundido appetizers are outstanding, you cannot go wrong with either the Chilaquiles de Camarones or the Puerco en Chipotle.
