This place is not rosa mexicana but it is way better then a 4. Its about the whole situation. You can eat with friends and have a great time getting loose on the very good margaritas. Are you going to find a sea bass in mole sauce baked in parchment here? NO. will you have a great time and cheap tasty meal ? Hell Yeah! Viva The hat!!!

I've been asking myself for years: Why is this place so popular? I could understand it 10 years ago when it was one of only a few restaurants in the area. But folks, there are plenty of other, better options now. Take advantage of them. Come only for the drinks.

The ear-splitting, consciousness-erasing Latin jukebox here is one of the many love-hate reasons to go to "The Hat". NEVER call it "El Sombrero! One of the only places where Latinos and whites mix on the LES, The Hat is rumored to use grain alcohol in its margaritas -- and you'll believe it after you knock back a couple of these babies. No rocks, no up -- only frozen. Hmmm... The food here functions exclusively as liquor absorbency. There is no reason to eat here unless you're worried about passing out -- though the soupy, spicy salsa is slightly worthwhile. The endlessly patient, fun staff humors the increasingly gentrified crowd who think it's "hysterical". Make sure you show up with someone who can support your weight later on when they have to carry you to Houston and stuff you into a cab. Arriba!
