This place rocks!

This place is awesome! The food is spot on and the drinks are very well balanced. This is one of the best mexican restaurants in NYC for sure (real mexican, not that tex mex garbage)!

• Pros: Carnitas and margaritas
• Cons: My date

Honestly the best mexican food I've ever had

by livesformexican

Seriosly, I've been to mexico several times, lived in arizona, and would rather eat at Cabrito! The carnitas are deliciously tender and crispy at the same time, the Pozole is awsome (and it comes with pork ribs!) corn tortillas are Soooo fresh. Chef Dave Shutenberg ( wierd he's a gringo) is a god and handsome too! brunch rocks, dinner, rules, lunch is honestly the best time to check it out, not hard to get a table, like it can be at night. Although waiting at the huge bar and sampling awsome cocktails, and the great tequilla menu, is as much fun as diving into the house made choriso hurache! Go to this restraunt ready to have a good time and eat great food!!! No realy, go now! Right now!

A long wait and pricey drinks...

by monkeyfun

We waited close to two hours when we were initially told it would only be thirty. We also watched the bar tender thinning out the drink with soda when my drink didn't call for it: club soda really waters down a drink when the glass is already filled to the top with ice.

The food however was pretty good and fairly reasonably priced.

• Pros: good food
• Cons: expensive drinks, long wait, snooty servers

fabulous food, great staff

by ajackley

The food is fresh and delicious, the margaritas are made with good tequila, fresh lime juice and little else, and the staff is fabulous. What more could you possibly want? Go before it's too busy to get in.

AWESOME!!! Must check this place out...

by NYCfloyd

Awesome drinks, very cool bartenders and the steak taco's are simply the best. We came in on a Saturday night and had a great experience. I am telling all my friends about this place and probably going back tonight!

great staff! yummy food

by mladerri

i live in Maryland, but frequent NY often. One place i must go everytime is Cabrito. The food is amazing. I'm from California originally and I can never find good guacamole on the east coast, but Cabrito's guac is yummy and just like home. Besides the food being great, the staff makes it worthwhile to stop by. They welcome everyone with a smile. Sit at the bar and chat with the friendly Denson. He'll also make you a fierce margarita! Be careful, they come with a hidden kick in the pants. See you guys soon!

• Pros: food, margaritas, staff, jesus in the bathroom
• Cons: always leave too full and drunk

This place just started brunch...It rocks!!

by JTB35

My girlfriend and I live in the neighborhood and have been waiting for Cabrito to start doing brunch. Finally, they started this week and it was awesome! The menu has about 10-12 choices for $12 per person and you can add on 3 brunch drinks for an additional $9!! We werent planning on drinking but at that price how could we say no? The bloody mary was amazing...nice and spicy. As far as food we had french toast that was crusted with corn flakes & canela, a spicy mexican eggs benedict on brioche, and best of all bisquits & gravy with chorizo...All around the meal was awesome. I highly recommend Cabrito.

• Pros: Check out for brunch!!!
