DSCN7245 Nothing brings out people in Statesboro more than the opening of a new restaurant.  One of the most awaited openings is the new El Sombrero Mexican Restaurant near the mall.  Last night and tonight they held a VIP soft opening and tomorrow at 11 AM you will have an opportunity to see for yourself how incredible this place is.

Edie Grace calls it "the palace" because the domed gold roof gives it a palace look.  College students nick named the original El Som "the Hat" and call this "the Hat on speed".  This is an accurate description.

Abel, the owner and founder, is a good friend.  His story of success is tremendously inspiring.  The building was designed by LGPFA client and architect Kevin Palmer with Maxwell Palmer Architecture and built by LGPFA client Rob Kicklighter of Dabbs – Williams construction.  They all should be very proud!

For those of you who love their adult beverages – you will be pleased to know there are two bars – one downstairs and one open air one upstairs.  We get so many invitations to these type events in Savannah and Statesboro – it is very hard to work these into my schedule.  However, this was one that I would not miss and was thrilled to be included as part of the preview group.  Now, through this blog, you can tell your friends that you too got a sneak preview!

Check it out and let me know your thoughts!DSCN7259 DSCN7244
