“Food is delicious and authentic. They also make hand made tortillas. Salsas top the flavor. It is just all delicious. Will definitely be back.”
“The birria is ok just a lil different from what I'm used to never had it with garbanzo before”
“Some of the best birria I’ve had! The meat was tender, flavorful, and the consommé was perfect. Tacos were crispy, loaded, and tasted amazing with every dip. Great portions, fast service, and a really authentic vibe. Definitely a spot I’ll keep coming back to. Highly recommend El Cabrito!”
