The Story

For 18 years, El Sombrero on Forsyth Road has been a Middle Georgia favorite, repeatedly voted the area’s best Mexican restaurant. Ernesto Aguirre and his skilled team serve creative, authentic dishes that introduce fresh flavors to Macon, along with an impressive tequila selection and expertly crafted traditional Mexican cocktails that keep guests coming back.

But it’s the warm, welcoming atmosphere that truly defines El Sombrero. Guests regularly praise the friendly service as much as the flavorful meals, and many former staff members have gone on to open successful restaurants of their own. El Sombrero proudly supports local Little League teams, church groups, and schools, and offers catering for events of any size with a menu full of crowd-pleasing Mexican favorites. Come experience why El Sombrero remains a local standout—authentic flavors, vibrant options, and hospitality that feels like family.
