El Sombrero
437 Gap Newport Pike
Avondale, PA 19311
This vibrant roadside store lies on the edges of Kennett Square’s mushroom-farming community and belongs to a local manufacturer of tortillas and queso fresco. Part restaurant, part groceria, part newsstand, El Sombrero has a menu written in Spanish and English above the register, listing bargain-priced tortas, tacos, burritos and platters. Try a torta, a Mexican sandwich consisting of a big, sweet roll layered with refried beans, avocado, mustard, lettuce, tomato and shredded beef, or a simple, spicy chorizo-filled taco dressed with pickled onions and peppers from the wooden condiment cart in the center of the dining room.
