El Sombrero Mexican - Vicksburg

They don’t manage large groups very well. Apparently, they've had issues with unpaid bills in the past because we were a Corvette group of about 20-24 people. They wanted to hold a credit card until after we finished our meal.

Shortly after we were seated, a rather arrogant manager approached our table to inform us that they couldn't serve us due to our party being larger than 9 people. This led to a heated discussion. I asked him if he was really saying that he didn't want our business, to which he coldly replied, "That's up to you." His rudeness left a bad impression, and I decided there was no way I would ever spend my money there. We ended up leaving and heading to Rey Azteca Mexican Restaurant instead, where we enjoyed a delightful meal, plenty of drinks, and generously tipped our waiter for his excellent service.

The restaurant does not handle large groups very well. It seems they had some experience with unpaid bills, as we were part of a Corvette group of about 20-24 people, and they insisted on holding a credit card until after we finished our meal.

We brought a group of elders and children from a softball tournament to the restaurant around 3:30 or 4 PM when they weren’t busy at all. After I told them we had at least 15 people, they gave us a card and a credit card before seating us. The adults sat at one table, and the kids at another. Shortly after we were seated, the arrogant manager approached our table and informed us that they couldn’t serve us because we had more than 9 people. An argument ensued, and I asked him if he was saying he didn’t want our business. His only response was that it was policy. At this point, his rudeness made it clear we wouldn’t be spending any money there, so we left and went to Rey Azteca Mexican Restaurant. We had a wonderful meal, enjoyed many drinks, and tipped the waiter generously for his excellent service.

I really enjoy ordering by numbers, and number 63 is probably my favorite choice. Typically, this numbering system is found in Chinese restaurants, so I’m excited that a Mexican place decided to give it a try!
