El Sombrero
Friend Kelly said there was a new restaurant in the Dillions strip mall on West Battlefield road. My wife and I were driving by at dinner time the other night and discovered it was Springfield’s newest Mexican place call El Sombrero.

La Huasteca Mexican Cafe
I noticed this evening on the way home from church that La Huasteca seems to have transformed itself into a ‘Breakfast’ place.

Puente Mexican Restaurant

Maria’s
My wife and I were with Danny and his wife and our ‘fifth-wheel’ friend Angie downtown last night attending a CD release party for our friend Neil’s band “The Guise“. I was thinking Grandaddy’s BBQ for dinner, but Angie suggested Maria’s for Mexican.
