Son of Sombrero

Son of Sombrero is a Tex-Mex takeaway and informal restaurant tucked into Chertsey Street, offering burritos, nachos, enchiladas, quesadillas and cocktails in surroundings that lean decidedly casual. The menu is honest crowd-pleasing Tex-Mex rather than regional Mexican — chicken fajitas, chilli beef, loaded guacamole and cheese-laden sides are the building blocks — and the kitchen has built a consistent following among Guildford students and town-centre visitors looking for something beyond curry or pizza. More than eighty TripAdvisor reviews reflect years of steady trade. Bookings are taken for groups. Prices sit in the mid-range for a Guildford evening out. Chertsey Street connects the town centre to the university area, and Son of Sombrero occupies the casual end of a street that has developed a cluster of independent eating options over the past decade.
