Cabrita en salsa: This is goat meat in a delicious curry sauce with flavoured rice. The meat was so soft and melts in your mouth. Would highly recommend this dish for first timers !
Good food, decent selection and fast, friendly service. You can even get your car washed for a small cost while you dine!
A place where local people come along with the family to eat the famous “cabrito”. The place looks more modern than before, the menu continues to be practically the same as always: cabrito and meat. The cabrito is very good, the meat is not top notch. Service is fast and efficient, old school and grumpy at times. A traditional landmark to eat in Monterrey.
Very good food, the place is clean and organized. The waiters with very attentionsly, and can give very good suggestions.
