Overall Cloudy Tacometer Rating: 9/10, AKA the coveted “Cloud Nine”

For us, El Cabrito represents the original sea change in what we thought Mexican food was, jolting us years ago into a welcome recalibration. Simply put, this place is everything you want out of a Mexican restaurant. El Cabrito provides consistent excellence in every way. In addition to its deliciousness, El Cabrito is an absurd value. And even when it is very busy El Cabrito buzzes along with impressive speed. The large staff works like a perfect puzzle in a small kitchen that is accentuated by cooks making frequent visits to a comically huge mountain of masa dough on one side.

Run, dont walk to El Cabrito.

Pupusas: 9/10

Tacos: 9/10. On this visit we enjoyed Al Pastor and Carnitas.

Quotes from the Boys:

“Can I order 2 more pupusas?”

“Wait, isnt the ice cream place on the other side of this wall?”
