Sombrero Mex -- Review

This evening I got to experience Sombrero Mex in St. Charles County on Highway K. From Highway K, you could see a pretty full lobby with cars lined up in the drive thru. This location used to house the now shut down Del-Taco franchise. Having never been a fan of Del-Taco due to the high amounts of sodium and sub-par selections, I decided to give this place a try. My love and I stood off to the side to look over the overhead menu, selections and prices. I settled on the Pollo Asado Burrito while he selected the Carne Asada Fries Supreme. For those who don't know what "carne asada" is, that's grilled steak. After a lengthy weight, our food was ready. I grabbed a knife and cut my burrito in half and took one bite to see if salsa would be needed. Immediately, my mouth filled with ingredients that lacked in seasoning. Everything was bland. Now when I have Mexican cuisine, I like to be able to taste the flavors and indulge in the textures of what I'm consuming. My burrito lacked in that department. So I tried some of my love's dish and was greeted with the same blandness. The picture attached is what he had and as you can see, this appeared to be promising but lacked in the taste department. On a scale of 1-10, I'd give this place a 4. I will not consider dining here again especially coupled with the loose trash smell I kept getting hit in waves with by the exit door near the drive-thru. A seating arrangement change helped nullify most of that problem but it still disturbed me that the smell was even in the air when there was NO visible signs of loose trash. Blech! Anyways, I hope my review helps!
Bon apetit...or not!
