What People Are Saying About Cabrito
The Owner
Cabrito
Owner
Cabrito is located in the heart of the West Village. It serves authentic Mexican fare along with creative cocktails, using all natural, fresh ingredients. Chef David Schuttenberg's street-food inspired menu features seasonal house-made creations like chorizo cemitas, pork belly tacos and tangy shrimp ceviche. Other specialties include carnitas, red chili short ribs and the restaurant's namesake cabrito, which is sour orange, garlic and chili rubbed goat served with salsa borracha and fresh house-made tortillas. The bar comes alive each night with perfectly blended margaritas and sangria, as well as innovative signature drinks like the Hot & Dirty Martini and Bee's Knees #3. Cabrito offers over 40 top shelf tequilas and 10 varieties of mezcal, available in tasting flights, in your favorite drink or simply straight up. Make your way over to the pink goat for an evening of cantina fun!

In Short
The pink goat piñata suspended from the entrance perfectly represents the vibe inside this cantina: colorful, loud and fun. The menu reflects the same personality, with chef David Schuttenberg (Fatty Crab) promoting lively south-of-the-border street food. The menu features tacos, of course, featuring braised beef tongue and beer-battered fried fish, and huaraches, thick masa "sandals" with toppings like huitlacoche. But most people come here to get their goat--that's the spot's slow-roasted specialty, seasoned with sour orange, garlic and chili.
