I visited on a Sunday evening, and there was a steady stream of customers. Plenty of comfortable booths lined the main eating area with tables for large groups in the center. We were seated immediately and the service overall was excellent. I had the steak chimichanga dinner which was tasty (9.93). Prices were reasonable for dinner. Our server checked with us at least three times after we were served. The food in general seemed more authentic than other Mexican restaurants I've been to. For example, the tacos came wrapped in foil and all condiments (questions, cilantro, sauce) were provided in separate bowls. I would like to return to try other offerings.
Me and my wife has been here twice. Great service, food, and fair price for the amount of food you get. I tired the Chicken and shrimp this time. Salsa and chips are good as well. I highly recommend it.
We were in town from Texas visiting our family and stopped. We did a big take out order and the service while ordering and waiting was great. We got home and the food was wonderful. Would definitely recommend this place
The food is great and the staff is very attentive and friendly. Service is fast, so this is a great place to stop in if you are hungry and don’t want to wait long. We had a great Sunday lunch for 9 people with no wait time for seating, drinks and appetizers were brought within minutes of arriving. The staff took excellent care of everyone in our party and each individuals needs with friendly efficiency. The food was great with large portions and no one left hungry!
El Cabrito is one of my favorite Mexican restaurant. The food, service, and price are all very good.
The best friendly, attentive, helpful service, super fast food for 5 people, and it was all good! Better prices than fast food and much better experience. Wish it was local for us!
Really great food and always consistent. Friendly people and the prices are affordable for the great quality food
The food is good. The prices are very reasonable. They stay VERY busy here in town. I pretty much always order the Chicken Happy Plate which is basically rice, cheese, and chicken. It comes with a side of tortillas. You can get steak, chicken, shrimp, veggie, whatever. I ask for a side of sour cream too because I love to put a little on the tortilla then the rice mixture. Also, if you like sweet tea, their sweet tea is spot on. Very southern sweet tea. I don't like the Mexican birthday thing because I don't like to be put on the spot, but people come here all the time for it. It's fun to watch. This is a good place to come, relax, and have a good meal.
